Reviews for For the Greater Good
I knew Harry had come to ,bury Dumbledor, not to praise him.
Thank you very well done , not everyone can take on Shakespeare, and get away with it.

Thank you! It took a lot of study and work - I think the library staff thought I was studying it at college, I took out so many study guides!

That was the lesson, that Tom Riddle never learned. There are worse things than dying.

Oh, thank you - you understand why he had to kill himself. On other sites, people who had worked out where this was heading tried to get me to change the casting! :)

Now Severus has truly lost everything, and all for Malfoys greed.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
He regrets ever getting involved in this. I did feel very mean, killing off Alina!

No Ron, the battle has just started.

So everything is hidden, in plain sight. I hope Harry doesn't get any innocent blood on his hands.

He's got a cunning plan - I'm just not sure he's up to carrying it out!

It had to end this way, I know that, but I hate to see Severus used again.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
I know, I'm sorry :( Blame the original playwright if you've worked out who he is, and the prompt writer who gave me the casting.

Oh no, Severus is caught in another web of intrigue not of his making. T'was ever thus.

In another of my stories I had Sev saying 'The truth is I am just a cat's-paw: "Oh, we've got yet another unpleasant job; let's force Severus to do it"!' I like that sentence. Poor Snape!

Things are moving at a frantic pace, in order to keep Severus off balance I think.

They also only have 24 hours before Dumbledore is invested.

Ok Sev, hold your broom, take some calming potion, and think. Many a good man has broken a leg, jumping to conclusions.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
ROFL - hold your broom! Must remember that one.

After the first chapter, I feel that I'm stumbling about in the dark, trying to find my way to safety, but where does safety lie? I have never been a Dumbledor fan, but can one trust a scheming Malfoy, we'll have to wait and see.

I have a horrible feeling Malfoy has done the politician's thing of arguing so hard he believes his own arguement.

Been years since I've read Ceaser, but from what I recall, very well done. I suppose it's better it's been years since I wasn't exactly sure what was going to happen next.

Thank you very much - for your praise and all your reviews.

Wow. Most definitely did not expect all the tragedy. I can understand Snape's realization that death is the only escape.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
Thank you. I'm glad you understand. Really.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)

Ouch. Definitely a big blow for Severus. And he's kicking himself for only no realizing what Draco was up to. He really should have known better.

I know; I hated killing off Alina, and in such a nasty way, too!

That's an intersting turn of events. What's next?
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
Harry's big plan!

Well, that was a little surprising. I didn't expect the deed to be so out in the open. I look forward to what comes next.

The school is so shocked, Snape can do whatever he wants!

Wow! That all hapened rather quickly, didn't it? Wonder what the repurcussions will be? Will people think it a natural death or something more?
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
Yes, a surprise attack. Everyone will be shocked, I can tell you that!

Oh this is getting deeper and deeper. Wonderful job weaving all the deceit together.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
Thanks; glad you're enjoying it.

Well, that's an interesting twist. Perhaps Severus should re-examine his convictions based on Malfoy's desire to off Potter. Though Alina may provide the path for that.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
In my head, Alina is 11 years younger than Severus, so she's even more out of her depth with this than he is.

This is unfolding nicely. It's so hard to try to judge a man, even one you think you know well. I do fear for what Severus is getting pulled into though. Once again someone is trying to use him as a pawn. Poor man.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
He IS working himself up into a state over something which might be nothing. Things always look worse in the middle of the night, don't they?

Interesting AU. I look forward to where this goes. Draco makes such a good argument, it's easy to follow his logic and fall for his concerns. I look forward to seeing where it goes.

Thanks. I hope you like the rest of it.

Oh. I can't imagine how guilty they must have felt! Well done.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
At least as guilty as they felt in canon, if not more. Thanks :)
Holy hopping snot -- that did NOT go the way I'd envisioned! Went with more of a whimper than a bang, eh?
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
The honourable way - on his own terms before the Ministry could take him. To the original character honour was everything.
I liked Potter's speach - hate the reason for it, but did appreciate his choice of words.
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
Yeah, wish he hadn't had to say it, but it's a darn good speech in the original play!
Oh dear - this is getting more and more morbid... *sighs* Death all over Hogwarts...
Response from peskipiksi (Author of For the Greater Good)
I promise that's the last death - only one more chapter to go now.
