So glad to see such a quick update! I am interested to see how Hermione reacts to Viktor's questions. She will probably be more forthcoming with him than Jigger. *grin* I like how you wrote his letter, you're right it does sound very much like his written English isn't so good. Also I would like to apologize for thinking you were only visiting Singapore. I visited in 2001, I think, and it is a truly beautiful city!
Great update! Can't wait for more, as usual! *big grin*

This is probably the most intelligent writing that I have come across while reading fanfiction. Props to you. I really enjoy the use of J. Alfred Prufrock (only one of my favorite literary characters), so perhaps I am overlooking the stuff that normally annoys me in favor of an inclusion of Prufrock.

Writing in only letters has a tendency to stretch out the same situation over various degrees of time. However, your writing has a drive behind it, a thing most necessary yet rarely included. Each letter, also, sounds different. This can be a hard thing to accomplish when one is writing every letter. I think that you write the characters rather well.

The footnotes that you include at the end of each letter are helpful, and make it easier to navigate (obviously). I enjoy the addition of information not straight from the cannon that you include. The explanation of Russian names was interesting to read (even if I really did not notice anything odd about her name before you mentioned it).

The only point on which I was concerned was that Snape was making it a bit obvious that he was who he was, in both personas. I was relieved, however, when you had Hermione mention this oddity in this letter.

My only advice is to continue in this fashion, as quickly as possible. Thank you.

Now you've just got me hanging on the edge of my keyboard waiting for the next letter... or article!! Keep 'em coming! *smile*

Beautiful! The thing about Albus, though, is that he's not too subtle. I will be curious as to who your next letter is to and from. I bet an A on a thesis is the highest grade Severus ever gave one of his students at York. *grin*
Can't wait for the next!

I don't think I got to review the last letter, my apologies. It looks like Snape is trying to put her off ... but will that comment about Remus be his downfall? I feel the suspense building... even if it's only in my mind, and I am anticipating another letter from Hermione. When she figures the puzzle out, I wonder, will she come right out and bluntly state Jigger's identity, or will she be subtle about it and bide her time? *rubs hands together*

A very unique and entertaining story.  I admit to being glad I have read it after it was completely posted and therfore had the benefit of author's notes to help with some of the confusion.  I did enjoy the hidden messages and the amusing references to various literary greats.  Thanks you.

Well, well Severus, you hadn't expected her to actually write to Dr Jigger, had you?

wow, this letter lure me into reading on.Severus is rather vocal about his dismay! He could have left it at a "Get her out of my hair", but he elaborated... 

This was a highly unusual method for telling a story. A bit like a diary, but a mingling of numerous diaries into one without the benefit of a single narrator. A couple of the jumps threw me and I had to re-read a little, but I managed to avoid getting overly lost (nothing to do with anything there except a faulty mind taking a temporary vacation).Different, and enjoyable. I liked that you had Viktor being her confidante, rather than either of the boys, and the way you closed it with Ron's absolute ignorance was very entertaining.Elura

i feel like im in chemistry class again! Still, I am ejoying the story. reading on...
