Love your Carrows and all the variations on poor Justin's name. :)

I don't like to start reading works in progress, as so often they end up unfinished, and I am disappointed, but you have me hooked, so here I am, cheering you on! I like how you are expanding on cannon characters without changing them into someone else, and I really like that you aren't reverting to some sort of 20/21st century/Jane Austin hybrid, but are rooting your story firmly in the era that it is set in. I look forward to more.

Interesting - the dynamic between Draco and Luna. More interesting still, the way Snape interprets Luna's scent.

I just love how Snape constantly bungles Justin's last name!

I love the morning after, where Snape realizes that he knows nothing more about the sword robbery and has agreed to teach Hermione to brew Wolfsbane.  Lupin has him all figured out.I think my favorite scene is in the Headmasters office with Snape and Luna stargazing and conversing on the floor.  He is completely out of control of any situation where he is alone with her.And the poor folks of Scotland ... drinking sounds complicated there.  Where I live it is very simplistic.  No matter on the drink refusal.  It is best not to get President Clinton drunk anyway :)

I absolutely love Snakebites.  I love this story so much.

Hey, I know a Thorfin Skullsplitter! Probably not the same guy, though, huh? By the way, I like the mixture of canon and original thoughts in this little story. ^_^

Mental note.  Avoid cubicle number 4. Luna really has Snape and Phin wrapped around her little finger. Draco next... ;)

Remus sure has his fingers in a lot of pots.

Clootie dumpling and coostard...as I liked to call it to take the P out of my Mancunian offspring. Sev might have preferred Spotted Dick or even better the magical Manchester Tart. Still totally Laughed my bahookie off at the lads' banter. It is a pity that Lupin's not at Hogwarts but I take it that in your AU it wasn't Sev that cliped on him and got him ejected. Incredibly well written and entertaining, Quaffie. Best wishes, Love Ali xxx. Ps Never been to Aberdeen but that sounds like a doozie of a pub. Bit like the Station Bar in Stevenston that barred women as late as 1979 and had sawdust on the floor. My Mancunian boyfriend now husband was allowed in but not me!

Ah... so now Hermione knows another piece of the puzzle? Or does she? I am intrigued! Poor Remus. He's completely befuddled.

Well, it's good that Severus didn't have a fit about Malfoy waiting for him.  Well, mostly, anyway.I hadn't thought that Remus' request might be for Hermione to make his Wolfsbane.  How on earth will she slip away from the boys in order to learn how to make it?I'm really liking this thing developing between Draco and Luna.Incidentally, peelie-wally is my new favorite word *runs off to figure out how to work it into my daily conversations*

My, my, my Draco! And what a mess they all made! Concussions and cuts and bleeding and broken glass! Hopefully it gets better soon!

Love Draco telling Snape off. And tell HBAR I saw what she wrote in her last review.  :P

I am really enjoying this story so far, and look forward to updates. I especially like the extra little touches that you put in, such as your disclaimers with their translations!thank you!

These Slytherins are being overrun. 

Such a fantastic chapter.  I find myself really  liking the idea of Remus and Hermione together.  And of course I love Severus and Remus, especially the idea that they have been friends for so long, and flatmates, one a superslob and the other a neatnik. Luna seems so random, but I suspect she makes perfect sense, just not to us :) I want more now!

Mmm... I love the dynamics and rhthym of your writing so much; this story in particular with its multiple scenarios intertwined - yum! Draco's shoes - HA! It's wonderful details like this that just keep drawing one into the moment by moment experience of the characters... Sev & his dilemma, Neville Ginny & Luna, and Remus & Hermione... so complicated and bittersweet... As always, wonderful chapter!

I know Hermione on one hand, loves Remus. But he, on the other hand - I don't know if I would honestly call it romantic love. I see it more as Remus is like a moth drawn to a flame that gets its batteries recharged by it and then leaves again. He's not in deep abiding love, he's in "you make me remember to live" kind of love with her. Addictive in it's own way, but totally different than mature love. No wonder she was so important to him when Severus asked him before.

Ooooh you naughty girl. Leading me on like that. So.....are Remus and Hermione sleeping together in the biblical sense or in the Morecambe and Wise sense? And how does he know what's going to transpire? Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx. PS We're having an October heatwave over here. I went to my favouritest (is that a word?) store in the world...Housing Units of Hollinwood... Google it....yesterday in summer garb and they had their Christmas display with a Harry Potter theme going on....not Hallowe'en but Crimbo! There was a great life-size cut out of Sev there too.......magic! 

He knows?  This is getting very sad and convoluted, just like lives during a war.

How could you do that?  How could you... ruin Draco's shoes!!!  :P

Um, I don't know if anyone told you this, but you aren't allowed to just mention something like Remus and Hermione and then drop it and move on.  But I suppose there's no going back now.  It seems the only way to right this wrong it to get the next chapter up ASAP.  Just sayin ...I don't typically like Draco much, but you've made me feel sorry for him here, so good for you.  Crabbe and Goyle are worthless and the sooner he figures that out, the better.I really liked the Luna/Headmaster Black story.  It was original and very interesting.  Still, the best part has to be Snape's indignation at  Black's ability to let people into the office despite Snape's wards.  Poor guy can never catch a break.

I do love Luna.

Draco will learn some tact if it kills him...and at the rate he's going, it just might.    I really enjoyed having Phineas and Luna be related, and the scene where Crabbe and Goyle rough up Draco was a good way of showing how Draco's fall from grace seen briefly in the last book started out.  I would love to know what Luna said to "Uncle Phin" about Draco!
