I'm glad you thought so! I'll do my best with the rest of it.

Thank you. It's good to hear that! Originality is something every author must strive for, so if even one person thinks I'm managing it, I'm happy.

Glad you like it! Chapter 9 will be in the queue by tomorrow.

No, she doesn't kill him as such; at most a little death. Not that I can guarantee that he will survive the end of the story, but odds are that he might.Chapter 9 should be in queue soon, I just want to finish chapter 15 first.Glad you like this so much, it means a lot to me as it is my first story online, and the first Harry Potter one I've done.

  Not survive the end of the story???????!!!!!!!!!      AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I DO NOT LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!  I beg you!  Let him survive!!!  Please??????    Don't kill him!!!!!  Cheers,

I hope I can keep it that way!

Sweet is a lot better than horrendous, thank you!Hermione heard a past death. Although she can also hear someone dying in the present too.

Good! Glad you thought so.

The boys are pretty thick, yes. It will be pretty clear even to them on Hermione's birthday.Hmm, angry mob. It's a possibility. I haven't included it in my admittedly skeletal plot. I'll think about it.Glad that you are enjoying it.

I'm glad to hear it. I can only hope that I live up yo your expectations with future chapters.

Glad you do!Funnily enough, Scrimgeour got decked by a chance plot baby bunny. It wasn't in the plot, just sorta sprung on me.As for McGonagall, well, she is old enough to have possibly encountered Grindelwald. So she'll be scared silly, but concerned for her precious star student all the same.Well, if the rest of the wizarding world find out, after running around like headless chickens, it'd be something like this:"Get out your torches and pitchforks, there's a evil witch to tear to shreds!"I myself don't know if it will be revealed. It'd certainly make Dumbledore's job harder.Anyhow, I'm supposed to be finishing writing Chapter 14 so I can add Chapter 8 to the validation queue without being in danger of catching up with my writing and a longer delay between updates.

An angry mob. *lol* ahem, not funny, of course... Poor Hermione.Well, then I hope people won't become suspicious after seeing that wanted-poster of Hermione.And *yea* keep on writing!

Well, with old Voldy I thought there must be an underlying reason why he hates being called by his old name. It was also fun to write from his perspective...Hope you enjoy the rest of it too.

There will be more of him then and in chapters to come.Sorry to say that I won't be posting chapter 8 until I've finished chapter 14. Don't worry; I'm half way through it and chapter 8 should be in the queue by midweek.

Retaking first year, yet again, is my bet. Either that or working as conductors on the Knight Bus.

Aye, it is a little gruesome. While he said it concerning Hermione's parents, you're quite correct that he also has his own in mind.He will demand that she bring back his loved ones later, but there is a snag.

Chapter 7 is in the queue, currently sitting at second place.Amazing what upbringing does to your responses to attack, eh.

Glad you liked it. But since when did the Ministry think? That encounter wasn't the last between Hermione and the Minister + goons.

Too right about the Ministry (bunch of bone heads!).

Yup, Snape'll be up, but from Harry's POV. Chapter 8 is the next one with just Severus and Hermione.

Thank you, I'll try my best to keep em coming. But at the same time I'm trying not to catch up with my writing, as that'll mean a longer gap after several short ones.As for the 4 1/2 stars, I myself am a reviewer who doesn't always hand out 5 stars. So I can hardly complain.Now, who for Hermione to deck next... Voldemort? Of course, she might have an unpleasant surprise if she tried, he did grow up being bullied in a Muggle orphanage afterall.

That's the joy of summer: no Uni to go to. In term time it'll be a different matter entirely, sadly.

Thank you! I've only read one fanfic involving Hermione as a Necromancer, and she was unquestionably evil.As for Voldydork, I haven't forgotten about the prophecy involving Harry, but the ending of this is still up in the air. I've got several scenarios, but no decision as to which to use.Mmm, chocolate and Sugar Quills... Right, 19th of September and Chapter 13, here I come!

Glad you liked it! I'll do my best to keep the rest up to the same sort of standard.The thing with Hermione and rules is that while she tends to follow them, when she does go against them, she doesn't so much as break them as shatter them.

Thank you! As one of the admins, you also get a preview of the majority of my chapters, so thanks again for your corrections.As for the prejudice, if Hermione survives the end of the story, she'll be an outcast. Especially if Dumbledore snuffs it.I can't imagine that the boys will be best pleased, especially Ron as his Dad will no doubt have told him something about Necromancers. Their reaction is coming up in Chapter 7.

It could be said she cares a great deal when it comes to being seduced by the Great Bat of the dungeons: in that she might seduce him...Update coming soon, currently waiting for an admin to validate.

Glad you are! I should be able to get at least one chapter up a week until I'm off on holiday for a week at the end of August. Then the limiting factor is returning to Uni... I'll try to finish the story before then, as it'll probably mean I'll all but vanish for long periods of time.

She'll soon be in Diagon Alley too, on a wand hunt.
