You are amazing, the story is amazing, the update was amazing, and I love it all:-)) You would not know how grateful I was to see an update of your story, and so well timed, nothing could be better to shorten the time waiting for book7 to be released!  My over all favourite and most loved HG/SS story has always been "In Annulo" by Ladyofthemasque, but there is no doubt that "The Price of Madness" are very close to take the top placement and for anyone who knows how much I love "In Annulo" would know what kind of compliment that is. Your story is of such quality that JKR her self should be vary of the competition:-)) Just promise me that if JKR does something stupid in her book, like not redeaming Severus and/or let him die, that you will still finish your story the way it has been so far? And, don't you dare kill Severus in the final battle even if JKR should do something that stupid? I know that as much as I look forward to start reading DH in a few hours, just as much do I look forward for your adding of the last chapter to this fantastic story so I can start reading it all over again, this time from start to finish in one sitting!!! Keep up the wonderful work, I am a bit scared of what JKR migth do in her final book so I keep all my faith in the talented fanfiction authors out there to redeam what JKR migth do wrong:-))

Super job!!! I love your Severus and all the rest. Thank you so much for doing such delightful  things with them and thank you for continuing on with your great story which is immensely clever and so enjoyable    Love, barb

Lovely! Well done so far, both in plot and in characterization. So- are we going to find that Hestia is a traitor, or is she merely holding a grudge against Snape? Don't answer that. ;) I was also expecting that Snape would try and remove the soul shard from Harry the same way he extracted Albus'...Looking forward to the next chapters!

Yea! Update!  Keep going, it was much to long since your last chapter.  Loved it, Hestia was hilarious, so she has a thing for half-giants ehh?  I was hoping Severus would still call Hermione "Trollop"  Keep it Up!

What a fantastic treat!!!  Two chapters before the release of DH.  I absolutely adore this story and appreciate how the serious bits and the funny bits are woven together.  Hermione and Severus...just beautiful together.  If our favorite Potion's Master doesn't make it through DH then at least we have him in fanfiction. :)  I look forward to your next update!

*SQUEE* I just about started bouncing around just getting the e-mail notification that you'd added two more chapters!!  I absolutely adore this story.  I think you handle the characters extremely well, and that you do a great job writing.  Keep up the wonderful work!

Thanks for coming back and updating -- and as always, moving the plot along with great pacing and always intriguing new developments!

ps - Draco, Draco, Draco.....

SQUEEEE!! TWO new chapters!! And he calls her "trollop"!  Thank you for letting Harry finally pay attention to Severus staying with him.... grrr...  BTW, there's a typo in this chapter: a missing Avada Kedavra for Hestia Jones.  What is her problem?????  Thanks again for the two great chapters.  Can we change your name to Jo Rowling and have you take over the HP franchise?

Finally Harry learns what the last Horcrux is. I don't particularly care for Hestia Jones, however, but I'm glad Hermione put her in her place.  It would seem they have a very good plan to destroy Voldemort; and I think it just might work. I'm looking forward to reading more.

Lovely happy hopeful development.

Two updates?! You're spoiling us. Any more up your sleeve?

Great stuff. I particularly enjoyed Severus's snarkiness and Hermione's scathing comeback.

I still have a bad feeling about Hestia...

Wow! An update! Good to see more of this.

Why do I have a bad feeling about Hestia Jones?

Now Harry has a real reason to hate his scar... 

Oh, my dear, but this was well worth the wait.  These last two chapters were so moving, I had tears in my eyes at times. So very, very well done.

Oh, I've missed this! Two wonderful chapters and a last line that is utterly perfect.

*happy sigh*

I'll review more thoroughly when I'm awake enough to do so, but I just wanted to drop a note saying how much I adore this story.  It's everything I want DH to be and know it won't be.  I love it.  Thank you for writing such a lovely story.  It really is divine. 

Hmmm, Hestia Jones is definitely out of your favor.  I wonder if that has significance or if she drew the short straw on who plays the whinger?

I am SO GLAD you're back in the saddle!  This is really one of my favorite fanfics, and I was afraid I'd never see the end of it.  Welcome back.

And it was really well-written, too, by the way.  I liked Harry backing toward the door, the silliness about the pyramid snow-globe and the way Albus and Minerva talked to one another.  Looking forward to the next bit.  That low and gravelly voice and the lovely pet-name can only mean lemons! WOO HOO!

Thank you PlaidPooka, for the update! I hope that you are still with us in AU land after Saturday...

“You look divine, trollop,” Severus said, his voice low and gravelly. “Come here.”

Squee! 

Yay, you found a way for Harry to be a Horcrux and not have to die! And things appear to still be going well with Hermione and Severus.  From your keyboard to JKR's ears, I hope. *g*

I'm so glad your muse decided to speak up!  Yay, update!

Ack!  And they've already determined that they don't know a way to get it out of a living creature without killing it!  Ack!  ::runs on to next chapter::

Oh dear . . . . I believe I need more of this or I'll go as mad as a certain Potions Master with an extra soul! The whole time I was reading this, I could feel the pieces falling into place. The explaination for Albus' death and how Snape stored the soul inside himself was pure genius!! I loved how in-depth you went with it, the Pensive, the Goblin magic, everything. *claps wildly* Well done!! Will more be gracing our humble screens soon?

“I was the bloody potions maker. I’m deranged; I’m not stupid!”Omg . . . I'm leaving a review in the middle of a chapter!!  Is it just me, or does it sound like he knows EXACTALY what's wrong with him. Acting anyone? I don't know why, but this just hit my funnybone rather hard and I fell off my chair giggling. My cat now thinks I'm nuttier than our raving, whore-shouting potions master!

"Unhand me, werewhore!"“The Dark Whore hid it most carefully,”“Boy,” Severus drawled, “I’ll thank you not to annoy the pretty little whore while she has her wand pointed at my nipples.”Oh my great Goddess, I laughed untill I cried!! Several times. Actually, It took me almost half an hour to finish this chapter because I was laughing so freaking hard!!I adore the whore-shouting madman!! *collapses into giggles*As always, your work is beyond wonderful!! I'm off to read the rest!! *swoops away*

This is an amazing story!  Please keep it up!

hi...i love this story...i cant wait for the next chapter!! PLS update soon!!! THANX
