And, heeeeere's Snapey! Love the dream. It seems to be a smoother way of communicating. People warehouses are just so depressing. I know it was run-of-the-mill thirty years ago and the practice has been cleaned up quite a bit, but things like this still happen. ^_^

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

I'm glad you liked the dream. Yes, they are depressing. I'm sure it has been and is a practice there to make them less difficult to deal with. I'm glad to hear the practice has been delt with at least for some people.TY for your review.

I was so happy to see your 3rd chapter here, so I really hope the next one will be validated soon.And I am also happy with the developments in your story: it's nice Hermione has made some progress with her search for Severus and is surrounded by a lot of kind and helpful people. And I am glad her relationship with her parents is solid and stable now. Of course I do hope all these efforts will lead to finding him soon (and yes, they really should inform Minerva about this), but then I remembered some comment of yours at a review of chap 1 in which you said you were writing chap 7 and she still had not got him out of the hospital. So I am prepared for some well needed patience... But it's really nice to hear you have already written 17 chapters of this lovely story, this means there will be a lot for us to enjoy.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you so much for your nice long review. I appreciate all your comments. I am currently writing Ch 20 and I foresee one more. They do finally tell Minerva... I hope I can work all the inconsistancys out. When You write a long story sometimes you forget where you went before. I now have a beta that recieved a wonderful compliment from the TPP ladies and she tells me that she is willing to stay with me. I'm so happy to have found her.I do hope Ch 4 will be up soon. I'm waiting for the beta to give it a once over and then it will be corrected.I hope you will continue to let me know what yu think.

Oh MY GOD! Love it! I love stories in which Snape is gloriously, miraculously ALIVE! I knew when I was reading all the HP books that as much as Snape fascinated me and as much as I found myself liking him that he would, almost certainly, not survive. It made me sad but I knew. When I read the 5th book I also knew without any doubt at all who he was, his loyalties and his motivations. Friends thought I was nuts. LOL. I was right on all points but very sad. No chance at a life at all. So I love fanfics that give him something better. Thanks!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you so much. I love Severus being alive too and nearly all my stories have that goal in mind. We all know his "death" is the jumping off place for new fic and I try hard to figure out new ideas to bring him back... explaine how he's still alive :)I too told my friend after book five. He will be back I know he's good and she told me, he's gone... he's not coming back (to the good side). I'm glad I was right and so were you :) I love at least how it was filmed with Harry and his back story in the last movie though it makes me cringe when the snake attacks every time.I hope you will continue to let me know what you think.

I can imagine Severus being very frustrated that she is occluding him and his calls go unanswered.I used to live in Kobe, Japan. My cat would go out on the balcony and meow loudly until he would get another cat far away to meow back. Once he did, he would come in, leaving the other cat to meow and meow with no answer. I imagined the other cat was saying "moshi moshi, moshi moshi," trying to re-establish the connection.I imagine Severus saying "moshi moshi, moshi moshi" and no response from Hermione.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you for sharing your cute story. LOL Severus would love to strangle her at this point. I hope to get more posted soon. Thank you for leaving a review.

Great story beginning except for the reversed chapter thing. I hope you can fix that for future readers since it's really confusing. I love the concept here - it's new to me. Here's hoping you give us more soon.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you, I have to wait for instructions about how to reverse the chapters. I'm not sure why that happened as Ch 2 was validated before Ch 3. I'm glad you are enjoying the story. I do try to come up with more original concepts.Chapter for is in the Queue. Thank you for your review.

Okay, so Chapter 2 is Chapter 3 and Chapter 3 is Chapter 2. Why do I feel like I've fell down a rabbit hole? *grin* I can see Poppy giving succor to Severus while he was in school. She's that kind of lady. ^_^

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Sorry I'm not sure how that happened, I'll try to get it fixed. Yes, Poppy would help Severus.

I got that same message...twice. Both from going to chapter 1 to chapter 2, and then chapter 2 to chapter 3. Someone might want to tell one of the admins. In other news, I am really enjoying this. :D

Hey gersknightlady,Thanks for the story so far! I can't wait to find out more. I am really amazed by your creative premise, so I'm really excited to see where this will go! I think it could be quite neat to mix the Muggle and magical. Excellent job - keep up the good work. I wait with bated breath for the next chapter. =) Heehee.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you for your review. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. I have nearly 17 chapters written so there will be much more to post in the future.

Yes I found the message about the story not being validated as well but I was very happy that I was able to read the new chapter nevertheless. I am so glad you've updated this. It's such a nice story. Hermione's plan sounds solid. I do hope Snape has some idea about the country he is in. EVen if he doesn't speak the language he must be able to make an educated guess about which language it is. And now I have read the chapter I'm already waiting for the next one. Hope the writing is going well.. have you finished the next chapter already?

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

I have been wriiting this story for some time. I'm working on chapter 17. Ch 3 and 4 are int he Queue and I do hope to get them checked and validated in the next weeks. I hope you you will continue to enjoyt his story as it unfolds. Thank you for leaving a review.

Response from orlando switch (Reviewer)

O wow 17 chapters already! Your Muse must be in excellent condition. So sad we can't speed up the queue, but on the good side, it means we have something to look forward to. I will be patient, I have stayed with you through your other stories, even if they were 50+ chapters.

I'm glad you found a beta. *grin* Want to see something funny? When I first tried to open this chapter, I got this message:Breaking into the Department of Mysteries is a crime punishable by permanent Obliviation.If you do not wish to share a room with Lockhart, I suggest you turn back now.In other words: This story has not yet been validated. You are not allowed to read it.I had to backtrack and try again before I could read the chapter. *grin* By the way, it's a good chapter. Hope you can post the rest now. ^_^

Very very intriguing! This is a plot line I haven't seen before. Can't wait to see how she rescues him.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Thank you, right now I am needing a new Beta and so far I'm not having any luck. Quite a bit of the story is written aready. Chapter 2 and 3 are on hold in the Queue.

Thank you, I hope to have more up soon. I have had a wonderful beta for years now and her work is getting to be more difficult. I will have to find someone new. I hope it doesn't take to long. She has agreed to do chapter 2 so I hope to have it in the Queue in a few days.

You have done a very good job of laying out the dilemma. How lucky that she knows about potions -- especially medicinal ones -- as I think she is going to need that knowledge to deal with his circumstances. Great story. I don't normally read WIPs because I get so disappointed when they get dropped. But I can't pass up one of your stories. I love your imagination.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

Well thank you for your confidence in me. I have never dropped one yet. I will get this one going faster once summer vacation is over. I have a number of chpaters written already so getting them to a beta will be the next step.I'm glad you are enjoying the "dilemma". I like doing things I think are different.

Great start with an interesting premise. Not sure how this long-distance blood-based Legilimancy works, but I'm sure you'll eventually explain. Surely the brilliant Snape has the sense to collect some doctor's names, which would be a tremendous guide for anyone trying to find him in the Muggle world, and it's annoying (but typical) that he wastes time abusing his first human contact in four years rather than give her information that might help her find him. One bit of concrit: Harry doesn't throw the Elder Wand off a bridge (he says he's going to return it to Dumbledore's tomb), and he says at the end of the book that he will be sleeping in his own bed in Gryffindor Tower, not on the floor of the Great Hall. We picky people find such departures from canon disconcerting, and in this case, they aren't even necessary to the plot.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of Power of the Mind)

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm sorry aboout the bridge thing it was in the movie. I guess I got confused with it all... movie VS book. Sorry it bothers yoou so much.
