Ha!  I was right about the bone-mending spell!  And I have theories about why Sev was so loony, too, and the butterflies, and I LOVED the whore line.  But then I've loved all the whore lines.  It was rather unsatisfactory that he was unconscious all through the scene with Hermione, but I'm supposing that it will all come right in the end.  Right?  Brava, Plaidie!  Now keep it coming!

OMG!!!  That was awesome!!! Albus is finally back and Severus is a miracle worker.  I wonder what he'll be like when he awakens.  Will he still be calling everyone a whore (which by the way still manages to crack me up everytime I read it) or will he once again be sane.  This was a lovely way to start off the new year!!!! I loved it! Thanks!

I believe I understand where the whore thing came from.  Was Dumbledore inside Severus?  I assume there'll only be a few more chapters before the end.  *sadness*  It is beautiful and I can't wait to hear the explanation!

WHORE!  hahahaha.....I hope you thake that in the spirit it was ment ;-) I have loved this story and now I will tell you why this is so, I took care of a loved one who was dieing of Alzheimers and when he stopped calling people by their names he made up enderments of this sort. Having personally witness a beloved, who was so incredible suffer in such a simimlar way to your character of Severus nearly rebroke my heart. Thank you for bring back my beloved in even such a minor way. There may be tears in my eyes as I type this to you it brought back all the feeling of love also. Thank you from the bottom of a heart that is often been described as three sizes too small. I avidly wait for the next chapter with highest regards.

Yaaaaay!  Wonderful.  I'm so excited to see where things go from here.  I hope that Albus can help bring Severus back to himself.  I also hope that RL has calmed down so we can have furiously quick updates! 

Author's Response: I'm working on the next chapter even as we speak, so keep your fingers crossed!  Thanks so much!  :)

It worked!  It worked!! Poor Albus, waking up from death just in time to get slapped by Minerva...  Glad that Severus didn't get hexed by Poppy.  Now, is Voldyshorts still hovering in the air?  And is Severus no longer "mad" - no more "whore" names?  Will they have to keep Albus' resurrection a secret from Voldy - and Draco?  SQUEEEE!!  It worked!

Wow, this story is really amazing!  I've read straight through this evening, and it was an evening quite well spent.  I'll be looking forward to you next update!

Evil evil cliffy.  I can't wait for an update!  I need to know if SS is still mad. :)

::Does incredibly fervent and joyful happydance::  I'm so glad you updated.

And yet another cliffie - when Severus wakes up -- will he still be crazy?

ooh, ooh--and update Loved "watching" Severus do his work. Hmm, Poppy doesn't know how "normal" Severus is status-post tower incident.  That should be interesting when he wakes up!

Oh, squee, Pook!!! SQUEEE!!!  Albus is back, Severus is okay, *does happy dance*I want to know more about what Albus has to say - how he's going to explain himself! ;o)

This chapter was well worth the wait. But, a little mediwitch wand waving hasn't told Poppy what frame of mind Sev might be in. Somehow I doubt that bringing Albus back to life resulted in the spontaneous resurrection of Severus' mental capacities to normal. Hope Hermione is there when he wakes up!

Dang! What a place to leave us. Great job!

Yah!  They both made it out alive!  I hope Severus will be able to get part of himself back now.  Wonderful and hopeful chapter!  Thanks for the great update.

GAH!!!  Okay!  Okay!  We're to the point we reasonably thought would happen, NOW WHAT?    (in a good way) 

Happy New Years to yourself as well, and thank you for taking time out of your own busy schedule to write such entertaining stories!   

Yuppi, so happy to see another chapter to this wonderful story!!!! Please say that we won't have to wait so long for the next one? Keep up this wonderful writing!!!!

But I wanna hear what Dumbledore has to say, too!!!! Great chapter, I was literally wringing my hands since the last chapter to find out what was happening! I was looking forward to seeing a huge reaction from Harry on seeing Dumbledore alive again (tears....hugging him with a fierce verocity), but Minerva and DD's reunion more than made up for it!!Oh and Draco is cute too.

Gods, Pook... you weave your words so well, I get so completely wrapped up in the tale that is always such a shock to come to the end of a chapter!  I can't wait for the next update, and i expecially can't wait for this to be finished so I can read it through without stopping!!  Fantabulous, Dahling!!  GG

Great chapter!  I can't wait to see how Severus is when he wakes up!  Thanks for the new chapter.                                     

you wonder why we read this story?? I've been checking everyday to see if you've updated.  It's extremely well written, very much in character, and spans the gammit of emotions.  This is one of the very best stories I've read, and screw JKR, your story is better.  And now that you've updated, I wish you a wonderful New Year, and keep writing please!!!

Fiinally! Yay! Albus is back! I can't wait until Severus wakes. I bet he will act like nothing happened between him and Hermione--LOL, never mind, I will just (not so patiently) wait for your update!

yeah a new update.  I have been waiting for ages and ages.  Love the story keep it up and hopefully R.L. will not get in the way for a quicker update.

Happy New Year!!!!

I'm so glad to see an update to this. I can't wait to see Severus' first interaction with Hermione. I'm also curious to see why he went mad, and if he is fully back now. 

The non-stop use of the word whore makes sense now- Albus being the pimp fits perfectly, especially with the way he dresses.

Minerva slapping Albus was also right on.

Thank you for writing this wonderful fanfic.

Happy New Year and thank you! The update was well worth the wait, even as I stew in anticipation of what will (or won't?) happen when Severus is able to have a conversation with Hermione. Great to see this story again.

Hooray!!!  Can't wait for the next chapter!

You're the best!  I love it when Dumbledore gets to live.
