Don't hurt Severus! 

 Don't hurt Severus!

         Please, don't hurt Severus.

Cliffhanger. Guh. I loved the Goblin soul magic theory you created... it is so much fun when authors come up with creative ways to destroy the Horcruxes.

Yay to the update.... ugh to the cliffie. Evil, to leave us hanging like that, when you stated in the A/N's that the next update will be a few weeks later. The goblin magic was really clever, I like it when canon facts get explained soundly in fanfiction. (Too bad this is fanfiction...). And too bad there was no Snape/Hermione action in this or the previous chapter *pout*. But I suppose it would've been a bit much for one chapter.... still... Right now I don't even know what is worse, to know that the update will be a long way off, or not to know that the update will be a long way off. Please hurry, though =)

The goblins' ideas of just punishments are wonderfully creative and utterly terrifying.  Some very original thinking, Pook.  Nicely done!

OMG he's vanished.  Where did he go?  How did he go without being noticed?  How are they going to find him, he's so elusive.

I look forward to reading the next part.

Oh this chapter was so pleasant, we now know all about goblin magic and how to destroy a cup, but now, it seems impossible to wait for more (what happened to Snape?) and you said you wouldn't be able to update before long. *sigh* anyway, thanks a lot for this wonderful chapter

*shakes finger at PlaidPooka* now now... that's not very nice, stopping at such a critical point! *grumbles* but am very glad that the cup is destroyed. Good riddance! would love to read the next chapter soon ^_^

No where did Severus Go...?

Lovely chapter, Pook! Actually the last three were wonderful. (I fell behind, I'm sorry.) But this was just wonderful. Very clever idea about the goblin magic and the soul... and the Hogwarts' vault. :D And you left such a cliffhanger! ACK! Please update again when you can!

Eeeeeek!  Fascinating move forward in the plot, but EVIL CLIFFIE!  Where's Mad Severus??? The angst begins to settle in for long stay until the next chapter!

you expect us to wait two weeks to find out where severus has gone off to? excellent chapter as always, I was going to request more severus in your next chapter, but with a cliffy like that, do I really need to?

...Is it ok if I hate you a little bit?  You tell us it might be a few weeks and then pull that on us?  *grumbles and pouts a bunch*  I wouldn't've done the exorcism at HQ...just doesn't feel right...

Brilliant as always, I'll be biting my nails til next time!

OH boy! Just *where* the heck is Severus???

Oh no! Hope he doesn't get into too much trouble ;)Thank you for writing and as always I eagerly await the next update

Words cannot express how much I have enjoyed reading this story! Write more soon! :)

Ooh, nice touch with the goblin language.  But where did Severus go?  Ack!

OH NO YOU DID NOT STOP THERE!! I must have more--soon! Great chapter! (As always)

ACK!!!!! Wicked cruel Plaid-Whore.... leaving us there... grr... Okay, so Draco is safe and alive, but Sevviekins is missing, and we don't know if he vanished at the same time that Voldy's soul went looking for a new home. So what, Voldy's soul is now in SEVERUS??? Bill better not develop a sore throat as he might need to free Severus of Voldy's soul! Wicked Pooks... The only thing worse would be Voldy's soul finding a new plaid home!  Update, update, update, pleeeeeeze!

Aaaak!  And you're not updating for a couple of weeks?  I'll never make it.  :)  I like Bill.  He's so smart.

Author's Response: Maybe I'll be able to update sooner than I thought.  I sat my butt down and wrote half of the next chapter tonight!  So keep your fingers crossed!  Thanks!  :)

swtcaro's response: Thank goodness.  I was hyperventilating.  :)

I loved your explanation of how the vaults are guarded.  You're terribly creative.  I think curse-breaking would be an exciting career for Hermione.I am worried for Severus.  Whatever he was working on, I hope he doesn't have to return to Voldemort.  Good luck with work...we all know what that's like :))

NOOOOOOO! Where is he? I can't wait a couple of weeks. Oh the torture!As always I love your work so muchTHANKS!

I was worried a little that you've gone too serious, but then you came with the eldest Weatherby and a cliff-hanger. Just what I needed for the next couple of weeks ;-)

Hmmm, Where did Snape get off to?   Sulking, plotting, getting into trouble . . .

 A missing Snape, NOT a good thing.  Eagerly awaiting his return.

I absolutely knew you'd be ending this on a cliffhanger ... and it's an excellent one.  My poor fingernails will be chewed to nothing before the next chapter. 

Oh no, Severus is gone! I've missed him for the past couple of chapters, to be honest. I haven't laughed as much either. :( I hope he's alright, and doing something worthy of just taking off like that. I hope Hermione gives him a piece of her mind, too. So they've gotten rid of another Horcrux, and Bill's joined their secret group. It's a good thing Bill's intelligent and figured everything out before somebody got seriously hurt. Wonderful chapter, this story is amazing. While I'm impatient for the next chapter, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
