If you think I was going to miss your chapter because Ashwinder is frozen up, you have another thing coming!!I just have to say, I want a crazy Severus of my own, now.  He's so sweet!  I like how you set up Gringotts, and you seem to have the same observations about the tower scene that I do, and I can't tell you how excited I am to see someone put that idea in a fic!    Great chapter, and I can't wait to see how you pull it all together. 

Ooooh! Another brilliant chapter! I like the way Ron and Severus were both confused about 'siezing' bank accounts. I think this is the first Fic I've read where Gringotts doesn't do that.And I'm stoked at your distinction between Wormtail's Avada Kedavra and Severus'. About two days ago, I was reading an argument that went along those lines and was all excited about the ideas it bought up in my own head.Can't wait for the next update :)

You've managed to do it again...think that is. And I was planning to let my brain hae the weekend off! Fantastic work, as usual.

Just got caught up on the last 4 chapters and I really enjoyed them :) Thank you for writing and as always I look forward to more

Real life can so bothersome! Glad to see this update. I've also wondered about that AK curse that sends people over walls, but then Voldemort's failed AK destroyed a house... And wasn't it Voldemort's wand which killed Cedric? The priori incantatum showed his "ghost" after all, but it was clearly Wormtail who carried out the deed.Now I hope Hermione won't get into trouble when she shops in Diagon Alley and has the sense to go with someone.

It's an interesting concept, that there was another spell, especially since that kept coming up in the book. Good chapter.

Just like to let you know that I'm here and reading along and can't wait for the next chapter!  Great job so far! 

Oh, man, Pook, what are you up to now?  Saying the incantation for one spell while casting another?  Brilliant!

I'm curious -- how many chapters are you projecting the story to be?  I'm torn between dying to know the answers to my questions and not wanting the story to end.

I'm very happy that you were able to post this so quickly here on TPP.  I was *very* excited to see the update.  May the Muse sit upon your shoulder and whisper in your ear -- and happy 4th to you! 

Gobbledegook had me smiling. Hermione's point was interesting. Looking forward to more when you get your brain back.

This story has been on my mind for three days now, I was estatic when I came online and saw that you finally updated. Now, I have to wait until you post again...a week? Really? Sigh....better than it never being posted. I cant wait to see what happens...BTW,...that silent curse over the Avada Kedavra? Secretly...thats what I think really happened in the book...LOL...damn theories.Red

I wonder if you might have hit upon a sound theory here - given all the latest buzz about JK's newest interview and a "reprieve" of sorts. Hmm. It does make you stop and think about it. Anyway, I'm enjoying this story very much and a lunatic Severus is still a sexy one.

ooooo....questions...must you do this to us?  I've got enough questions rolling around my brain that I don't need others too...

Now, get to work and get us the next chapter...  or we'll have to get violent..

"Knee-high whores." Fantastic. The Goblins always sounded very unpleasant to me, but described like this they could grow on me.

Hmm, is it possible your Dumbledore is still alive and in hiding?  Verrry interesting.... Maybe Hermione can "help" with the potion so she can learn sometehing. So what are you doing this weekend?  Why, how nice of you to write the next chapter this weekend, Pooks!

Oh, boy! Things are really heating up now! I never thought about the differences in the the reactions to the killing curse. Great Job, Pook!

I like your theory about the soul returning to its human.  That makes sense, and I'm not sure I've come across that theory before.  Very clever.

Severus seems to be mellowing a lot where Harry and Ron are concerned.  It's good to see.  It's also good to see him looking out for Hermione, although shaking her like that isn't exactly pleasant, and certainly isn't romantic.

Happy birthday (if belated), and I hope yur weekend was full of wonderfulness! 

YAY!!!   SNOGGING!!!  Woo hoo!!!  :-)  An excellent chapter!  I really love this story!  Great job!  And, Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Oh, Pook!  This is such a wonderful story, and I think this is my favorite chapter so far!  I read it twice, just to make sure I didn't miss anything.  I'm glad the pretty little whore didn't get herself blowed up!!! *smirk*Brava Darling, Brava!!GG              

It was a very good chapter. I knew Snape would stop her.Enjoy you B-day.

This chapter made me laugh, I really needed that. Brilliant chapter! The way you make the characters interact is just - well, brilliant!Thank you - and Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the birthday present! (mine was last Monday) As usual it was a great chapter.  I am really enjoying the "Madness" of your story -- with all the characters.  Hope you have a wonderful weekend.  Happy Birthday -- JoAnne

I won the bet with myself, it was Severus. At least, it had helped them to become more "physical" in their interaction. The other whores may be blind as bats, but not me! That was fun to have Severus say so. Great chapter (as usual).

Ohhh...what an exciting chapter, and I didnt have to wait for long to read it either. I love that. I can just see the joy on Severus face as Hermione was yelled at by Ron and Harry. He must have enjoyed that completely.Looking forward to the next chapter.Red

Happy birthday, Pooks!!  And thanky much for the gift of this new chapter, with THREE kisses. So glad Severus saved Hermione, and loved the devious way he made Ron and Harry give her The Lecture.  I also noticed that Kreacher has no problems understanding who the various "whores" are - "House-Whore" is a cute title, can you just see house-spouses wearing these T-shirts??  Umm.... so are you the "Plaid-Whore"?

'Splitting his soul made the old whore less human, not less powerful.”

*bows to all-knowing Pook*   You are so freaking smart!!! I wonder if that IS TRUE!!!!!  *shudders at the implications*   Wonderful chapter, Pook, very telling, and finally they KISS!!!!!!!  

I know, it's way too early to beg for Chap 15.
