Reviews for Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons
Brava! I have been hoping to get to Damsels & Dragons by Velvet Song and this story, the completion of what she had begun. I'm so very grateful that the two of you were able to collaborate so beautifully on this remarkable story. Together you two have given the SSHG fandom a lovely gift.I adore your sense of humor, and having Severus and Hermione telepathically connected had me laughing throughout my reading. And now I have a sequel to read......something about dragons in the dungeon, I think?

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed this story. It was a joy to write. The sequel is not a collaberation, so I can only hope you enjoy it as much as the first story. ^_^
So far I have to say you do a tremendously amazing job with continuing this story of Velvet Song, beginning with her exceptional writing style, and not least by bringing in Severus' thought-speach here. Did you have some plot ideas from her where this should go?
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
This particular story is completed and posted. Velvet Song and I discussed a sequel and she gave it the go-ahead. That story is also completed and has started posting here at TPP. However, I suggest you complete this one first before starting the sequel so you aren't confused about situations in the sequel. ^_^
Good job continuing the story. I'm glad Velvet Song let you complete it.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Thank you. With her permission, I've written a sequel. It's in the process of being beta'd, but I will soon start posting the chapters. ^_^

If you let Severus argue, he may be as Dragon forever.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
He's stubborn, but Hermione's just as bad. ^_^

I never thought, I would hear those words , from a Malfoy.

I would be more afarid ,of Minerva And Narcissa together, than the Dragon.

Two rather intimidating witches, n'est pas? ^_^
Response from mick42 (Reviewer)
You know where you are with a Dragon, but if those two get together, thay could rule the world.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Add Hermione to the group and that would be a definite possibility. ^_~

If Remus isn't careful, he will find himself playing the Death-Eater game, { the drop from 300 ft and catch just before you hit the ground game } I love Athair/Severus. 
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
I do, too. That's why I asked to finish this when Velvet Song couldn't do it anymore. ^_^

Back to Hogwarts, Phelps will have fun with the house-elfs.

Or the house-elves will have fun with him. ^_^

I love my books, and talk to them, sometimes I have to scold them, for spiting out their bookmarks, and losing my place. Luicus and Remus had best keep hold of Hermione, or she will wander off, into the stacks, and never beseen again.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Oh, yes. My precious. I talk and argue with my books all the time. My mother tends to look at me rather funny. ^_^

It's sad when the family don't understand, the love of your life.

Love the image , of house-elfs as meerkats.

Well, they had to be able to make sure they were seeing what they thought they saw. ^_^

MMMMMMMMMMM Thickned Plot, what a lovely desert. this just keeps, getting better.

Love the relationship, building between, Severus, and Hermione. Athair, 
talk to Hagrid, it would make his decade.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
I don't think Severus could communicate with anyone except Hermione or he would have talked with Lucius and his family before this. ^_^
Response from mick42 (Reviewer)
I know he can't "talk" to Hagrid, but if he would sit still, and let Hagrid talk, he would be made up.

AWWWW I love that Hagrid didn't have to be told, he just knew. Now the real work begins.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
I think Hagrid is just naturally intuitive. ^_^

The books seem to cover, a wide range of , curses, spells and other things it is best not to contemplate. Not knowing exactly what, Riddle woud do, Severus tryed to cover, all the bases he could, with the books. A pity she has to read all that dark stuff, but needs must.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Very icky reading indeed. ^_^

Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Thank you, I think? And of course she knows. Severus made sure of it. ^_^

Absolutely wonderful!!! A sequel?! I can't wait!! I'm practically dying to see how the relationship develops between Severus and Hermione, since we know he's already in love with her from earlier chapters.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Working on it. Or at least trying to. *grin* Hermione, Severus and Athair seem to have minds of their own, however. I don't know how this will turn out. Hopefully, I'll be able to start posting sometime after the first of the year. ^_^
I'm so glad they manage to bring him back. I hope they will all be well after a bit of rest. I wonder if Heverus and Hermione's connection will last. that could be a lot of fun.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Heverus? Who's Heverus? It's a great name, though. *grin* One more chapter to go and it's been sent to my beta. With Velvet Song's permission, I've begun a sequel but I don't know when it will be finished. ^_^
Response from snitchette (Reviewer)
*grin back* These are great news!
Yay, they did it! Boo for leaving it there! And boo for taking so long to update! Just because the sshg exchange is going on and there's loads of sshg to read doesn't mean I don't look for an update from you daily. 
Brava, Ms. Tree. Hermione and 'William' saved the day.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Blame my beta for the delay. She's involved in the exchange. *grin* One more chapter to go for this particular story and I've sent it to my beta. Velvet Song has given permission for me to do a sequel and I've started it, but I don't know when it will be finished. ^_^
Great chapter.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Thank you. ^_^
yay! You did it! :D
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Yup. Yup. Only one chapter to go and it's with my beta right now. At least I sent it to her. *grin* I'm in the process of producing a sequel--with Velvet Song's permission--but I don't know when it will be finished. ^_^
Oops, talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Scrimgeour won't do that again! :)
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
*grin* It would be rather hard to do that when he's in Azkaban. Thanks for reading. ^_^
Better three patients than a dragon. That was nice and tense.
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
Glad you liked it. One more chapter to go and that will wrap up this part of the story. I've started a sequel--with Velvet Song's permission--but I don't know when it will be finished. ^_^
WOW! That was incredible! Remarkable too how we find out that the curse hasn't just tied the two of them together mentally, but physically as well - and no better example of how strong the tie is, but as the countercurse was activated. God Bless you too, for finding a Gothic translation as well! I imagine having a devil of a time researching that! You did it justice, my friend!
Response from MsTree (Author of Velvet Song's Damsels & Dragons)
The translation was probably the hardest part of the chapter. I had it written out in English probably by the second chapter I wrote, but it took longer to figure out the translation. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. One more chapter to go. *phew* ^_^
