Hello. I know it has been 10 years since you published this story, and you perhaps have left this fandom. But I want to tell you that I am re-reading this for the third or fourth time, and I enjoy it more each time. This time I read this chapter with my chemistry and academic brain instead if my fan fic brain. I had not fully appreciated how audacious Hermione is here until now! Thanks for a smart and funny story that gets better with time.

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

I don't have as much leisure time as I did ten years ago. The chemistry jargon in this story is made up, bear that in mind. As such, I hope your chemistry and academic brain will not explode from my playing fast and loose with chemistry in this story.

9/10

Thanks for a great story. Your scholarship leaves mine in the shade. While it could be that my recollection of chemistry, history, mythology is shaky - and you have just made it up, I deem that you have at least a passing aquaintence in the subjects  (yes?)and consequently write those passages exceedingly well. Therefore a rather inelegant 'WOW!' to you and a polite curtsey. Has Snape let his guard slip and written in his own voice intead of AJ?'...could be brewed in our present wolfsbane formula.'He He! Off to read more!Cheers.

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Thank you for the compliments. I do have some knowledge of chemistry and all that but most of the things are made up.Ah, the slip. You caught it, eh?

I ended up reading this story when the "Random selector" popped it on my screen.I truely enjoyed it - and look forward to reading more of your stories.

This was quite creative (and Ron is still a little thick!)

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Thank you.

I have read quite alot of stories fanfiction and well just about anything I can get my hands on actually and your style of writing is truly amazing.  It shows how very smart you are.  It makes me wonder if you are a professor or something truly grander than the usual authors I have read.  It had been a pleasure to read your story, until next time.  Tamara aka

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

I was working on becoming a professor but politics and my lack of skill in that resulted in a quietus est. I write because I want to. Simple as that. I'm on LJ if you want to add me. But leave a message because I screen who adds me and why. Thank you for the review.

Arabella Bloodgood

The poem was indeed beautiful.  Why would he leave his schedule if he wants to meet her at 8?  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

That is for the readers to decide on their own. I like my readers to think. Although I have notes which spoonfeed readers to a certain degree, I only give at most 2 corners of the square. readers are expected to find the remaining 2 corners themselves and join the dots on their own.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

I think it brilliant that not only do they send messages through these articles but make the articles work around their messages.  Yes, now to plan a wedding.  Now there is one long article.  lol  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

I can't stand weddings, so I never write them. The messages of course have a deeper meaning. What is that deeper meaning? Readers must think on their own.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

How forward of her.  He won't answer her letters but she thinks he will marry her.  That takes guts.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Hermione is nothing but gutsy. heh

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Oh what will she have to say.  I don't think I would give it away to him and just play along until you can catch him at it.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

this is fic is already complete. just read on and find out.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Running away never solves anything.  Your problem will still be there no matter where you go.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

but then if i didnt make him do that, thre would be no plot.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

I'm not sure anger is what she will feel, more like sadness, disappointment, maybe even longing.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

that is up to the reader's interpretation. i'm glad you're enjoying yourself.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Watch your step Prufrock, Snape doesn't take kindly to people questioning his ways.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

you know that and i know that, but some people just like to toe the line.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Wow got his knickers in a bunch, didn't he?  LOL  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Ok now I can't wait to see where this goes.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

read on and you'll find out.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

OH come on she is your other half.  Take her on, it will be worth it.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Don't soften now girlie.  You almost had him.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

Oh my it is like watching tennis.  Brilliant.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Tennis? interesting. I just like the verbal repartee for its own sake.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

So there. lol  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

vindication for you and me, but the chracters are still willy-washy over the issue.

10/10

Arabella Bloodgood

He is trying to get a rise out of her, so she will show a little spirit in this sad time.  I belief anyway.  Tamara

Response from Lady Strange (Author of Proestigium)

Arabella Bloodgood

Yes over but what of Voldie's followers.  Were they killed or rounded up or on the run or a littel of all?  Just wondered.  Tamara
