I'm really enjoying your story, but on the side I'm wondering how much Snape is the true potions innovator and how much Lily is.  I just reread HBP and noticed that in Harry's time Slughorn is always waxing poetic about Lily's talents and even notes the clever additions she makes to potions in order to eliminate certain side effects and tastes.  (Just a theory, but I suspect the potions notes in Harry's sixth year potions text are more from Lily than Snape, although the hexes are certainly Snape.)  Still, I think the comments Snape made in his Defense class as you wrote it are very true to what we know about Rowling's Snape; I guess we'll find out more in a week and a half.  I'm looking forward to reading more of your tale, so best wishes!

An interesting story. I'm looking forward to the next updte.

I don't know that I could do it--pretend nothing was going to happen when I knew the fate of several people. Looks like Hermione switched one sort of stress for another.

What a discipline problem young Snape is!  But then, I always had a problem with incompetent teachers, too.  I thought it very funny that Hinton neither understood the potential of a patronus nor the proper meaning of the Latin itself (expecto coming from ex+specto, -are which most definitely has nothing to do with the breast but rather with the anticipation, longing, hope, or waiting for someone or something).  I'm glad you're continuing with this story and I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.  Now, what is to become of Hermione and her off-putting stance with her new peers?

Interesting time-travel tale.  I can't wait to see where this goes. 

I do love updates. Could any of us handle something like this happening to us. I really think I would snap under this kind of pressure. Even if she were to go kill Tom Riddle someone else would step up and make it even more difficult. Canging the outcome and how to fight. Maybe even make it a shorter war for the dark to win. Well hope you update soon. Thanks. Bill.

Excellent chapter, very well thought out.  I find your analysis of how Muggle-borns and half-bloods revolutioned the wizarding world fascinating.  I don't believe I've ever read anything (fiction or editorial) along those lines.  Hope you have the next chapter up soon.

Motherly McGonagall always makes me smile, because she's kind of bearish about it.  Dumbledore's given Hermione a lot to think about, hasn't he?  Looking forward to the next update.

intresting. update soon!

I liked your story, the plot is very intriguing. I must admit that I would have liked for Hermione to have been able to change some of the furture for the better, but then again I can also see Dumbledores reasons for not doing so. Will Hermiones stay in the past be the main part of the story, or will you take her back to the future for the main part? I look forward for the next update!

Very intriguing - I'm loving it so far, and I look forward to more.

Good start. I love Time-Turner  stories.

I love the way you characterized the Malfoys.  Good work.

Really enjoying the story so far...

You've misspelled  BEAUXBATONS!

“Beaxbatons,” she replied, ..."

A heck of a start, looking forward to more!

Very interesting beginning.  Harry sounds completely paranoid, while Ron and Hermione suffer (almost) in silence.  Narcissa sounds so nice, granted after being reassured that Hermione was appropriately attired in witchy clothes, and Lucius is still arrogant, etc. but maybe not evil . . . yet.  I like it.

I really like how you've shown Lucius and Narcissa to be much different at this point.  Particularly Narcissa the rescuer of strays!  I look forward to this meeting with Dumbledore.

This is such a great fic.The descriptions of Hermiones feelings and phisical reactions is very believable.nicely done!I just love time travel stories. They get me hooked every time.Hugs Carmille

More and more interesting.

Interesting.

Oh, I am so in love with this story! It's well written and well thought out. Can't wait for more!

Is it possible to be brilliantly dark?  The beginning of this story is exactly that.  I look forward to seeing where you take this story.
