Grr.

Thank you very, very much for updating, and I loved seeing Minerva acting human and smitten. I'm also curious how you're going to treat the disposal of Harry's horcrux now.

But grr.

I'm glad the next chapter is written.  I would be very put out otherwise at such a horrible ending to the interview.  She'd better go right back in there and apologize for her own behavior!  And let's not have any distractions in the manner of people coming by and wanting her to attend meetings or anything, either!  This WILL NOT wait, do you hear?

I love this story so much.  *smooches* Thank you!!!

I am happy, happy, happy!!  I have waited patiently (okay, that’s a lie) over the last few weeks for an update to this wonderful story.  In fact, I have re-read Overcome with Feeling, Strange Bedfellows and this tale from the beginning to get my “fix” in the meanwhile.   Thank you for the update. I can’t help but think about Star Trek: the Search for Spock and Bones dealing with having Spock’s spirit in his head.  (Alright, now anyone reading this knows I’m a true geek.)  It would definitely put me off my rocker to have Albus loose in my psyche… I love this story and stand patiently on my Pooka-built cliff for the next update.  (Okay, that’s another lie. Truth is I don’t have a patient bone in my body. But I’ll wait just the same.) Congratulations on the weight loss and on the group tip.  I’ll check it out.  As I am in the same boat, I would certainly welcome the company.

*sigh*  She should have learned when Albus warned her the night before...

Thanks for the update!  I'm really enjoying this story. 

Response from mariec (Reviewer)

Sorry -- I didn't realize my review went to the front instead of the back.  I'm rather new to this whole archive.  Will learn in the future.  *waves*

I'm rereading the last bit of the chapter and I can't figure out what she said wrong or how he took it the wrong way. Ugh! I hope you update soon, and as always your chapters have left me with a "Wha- but-" feeling. Cheers.

Oh, can't these two ever get it right?  You rat!

Myst

Oooooooohhhhh.  The update is finally here!!!!  What a way to start a Monday.  So what if I am late dropping my kids off to school!  Okay, so they won't be late but will push it.

 Poor Severus!  Talk about hospitality.  Good thing Albus' awareness was fuzzy--for Hermione's sake.  Is a reread in order to have a clue as to what Albus is alluding to with Hermione?

 Yep, we definitely have to have our daily dose of angst when it comes to Snape!  Lol, though if he were to list all the things he should apologize for . . .

Eagerly awaiting next chapter!--a couple of weeks??? Come on now . . .

First... (1) Hurray for the update (2) I'm very glad RL has settled down some and (3) Congratulations on a super weight loss. Keep up the awesome work.Now... OMG! I love this fic but these evil cliffy's are going to give me heart failure! I swear. A beautiful chapter, but I can't believe that you'll make us wait WEEKS for the next installment. Have pity, Please......I loved loved loved it. Can't wait for more!!!!

Dear Ms. Pooka,Although it is delightful beyond description to see your story back in action, it is most unsporting of you to leave off on yet another evil cliffie. However, as this is the sort of thing one has come to expect (and indeed keeps one hopelessly addicted to this fic), one can only say the following:SQUEEEEEEE! WHOO-HOO! UPDATE AGAIN ASAP!Thank you for your kind consideration.

I am so glad to read an update of this story.  I have been following it since you started posting it here and while it is incredibly moving I still find myself (even when I am going through trauma) looking forward to reading more.

Poor Hermione, she put her foot in her mouth with the 'sir' and poor Severus, having gone though so much for his mentor. I can't help but wonder what lasting effect this is going to have on his psyche.

Too short!  Too short!  (Or maybe I just sucked it down like bottled water on a hot day.  Oh well.)  Good show!  Well done!  And listen, if I can't eat, may I please have some more of your story?  Yes, I checked your LJ and will try to lose weight too, although I am not nearly as organized as you appear to be.  (Probably won't lose as much weight, either.)

Oh me, oh my. I do love the AD/MM pairing as a secondary couple. Also, Severus was so sweet the way he said "Hermione" twice to her. And then that abrupt change in mood due to Hermione. Oh, please update soonest!

SS Lupin

Er... I think I've been behind two chapters... so in a sense I've been reading ahead!Despite my scrambled reading (and the fact that I'll need to go back later), I loved this chapter and now can't wait to see Snape get back to his loving self...And shame on Hermione for calling him "sir." Shame, shame.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ahem...wonderful chapter, giggling minerva is still a bit difficult to picture and i think you captured hermione's discomfort brilliantly. I do hope Jo matures Harry as you have and CAPSLOCK!Harry gets toned down in book 7. lovely chapter as always, and a great way to end the night. thank you, ~lily

Nice to have Albus back, but the SS/HG scene was such a tease! Looking forward to next chapter.

Oh dear myself! How could *I* be so stupid! I thought it was something *Snape* said and not Hermione! I can't wait to see how she gets herself out of this mess. *g*

CharmedForce

Ah! My day was made by this update. Awesome.

And she called him "sir" first! Of course he jumped back from her. He thought she was the one backing off.  Oi, someone tell the girl to just go back and kiss him senseless!
