Please do write on , it is so diverting.
The telepathy is described with gentle wit, and the feminine power makes one want to feel a bond like this.
The reviewer who analysed Snape as being taken advantage of , as women have been , are, wrote it down with clarity. 
Do write more , even after this long pause, or has it been abandoned?
Ps. You made me want to reread M. Bradley's book again.
Happy autumn.

This has been a very pleasurable read and thrilling ride so far. I have really enjoyed the premise of this story.

Thank you very much for writing it and sharing it with us even if the chances now of this being completed was very low. Many thanks.

This has been a very fascinating story so far, and the premise is just fabulous. The idea to test their O&L skills against Snape and Dumbledore is also very creative.

It is really a shame that this story is abandoned, but thank you very much for such an intriguing read this far, in any case.

Thank you.

Schooling is important, so is work, there is nothing to forgive.  Wonderful chapter and well worth the wait.

No worries, and no forgiveness is necessary. :-)

Besides, an update of this fabulous, refreshingly unique story--however long it might take--is more than enough for me! I was so excited to log in and find a new chapter, you really made my day!

On to the story: It makes sense that the Hogwarts wards would prevent someone outside the castle from communicating with someone within... Voldemort might able to torment Harry through his scar, but it wouldn't do for him to be able to communicate directly to students/staff who may already have taken the mark. Not to mention what it would do to poor Severus if the Dark Lord was able to enter his mind at will.

*Shudders*

BTW, I like that former Headmistress Derwent is trying to help the girls, it's so rare to see the portraits involved in a story... other than Phineas Nigellus, that is.

But I can't wait to see how Severus and Hermione get along once she starts as his lab assistant. He's bound to start subtly fishing about Hermione's friendships with the girls from his house, little does he know she'll be doing a some fishing of her own. This should be interesting. Not to mention, fun!

And thanks so much for the update, it is totally appreciated. :-)

I love how sneaky Hermione can be.

I sort of feel bad for Severus at this point. He doesn't know that Pansy isn't interested in taking the Mark. Of course, Hermione can't risk letting him know, since he has to go in front of Voldemort. I think Hermione working wiith Severus will be an excellent way for them to develop an attraction. There's already a slight one, but it can be developed further.

It's all that hot chocolate he drinks.  Perhaps he drips it down his front!  :)

Interesting ritual. :)

Wonder if he was flattered or disappointed about how she imagined his anatomy? :)

LOL, the girls are going to convince Hermione that she needs an older, smarter man... :)

That's an interesting assortment of girls. :)

Poor Pansy.  What a situation to be caught in.

Chocolate... mmm... think I have some in the pantry... 
Sorry, you side-tracked me.  I like the little flickers of interest they show in each other.:)

Unlikely bedfellows, but any enemy of your enemy is your friend, they say! :)

Good riddle! :)

I have been reading your story since the first chapter, and it is amazing. I am incredibly entranced by the story, the friendship between the girls of all houses, and Hermione and Snape's mutual interest in each other. Brilliantly done! I wanted to wait until I got to the last chapter you had posted to send you this review, but each and every one of them is fabulous. I can't wait to read more, and as a fan of the Camelot story, I enjoyed Morgaine being an intergral part of this!
The bonding spell the girls preformed reminds me a lot of the calling of the corners, etc in wicca/witchcraft, etc...right down to the Athame. Well done!
Write more soon! I think I may have found my new addiction!

The gift from the goddess is a mixed blessing. Hopefully Hermione will find a way to control the gift quickly.

This story fascinates me!  It takes Hermione at the center of the story and brings in lesser known characters to form a really unique plot.  I am enjoying the ride and can't wait to see where you take the story.  Something tells me that tragedy awaits in later chapters.

You've hooked me with the story. the potions lab should make for some interesting fantasies.

I just discovered 'Curse of the Goddess' and read straight thru all the chapters you've posted so far ... I am completely hooked. What an amazingly unique story you have here! I'm totally enjoying the interaction between all the girls, it's so rare to find a story featuring real interhouse friendships. I can't wait to see Severus' reaction when he finds out that the sisterly friendships between Hermione, Pansy, and the others are real and especially how they've been testing their new Occlumency skills on Dumbledore and himself.

Excellent job, I look forward to see where your story goes from here!

I love how Snape and Dumbledore are underestimating the girls.

Please write more.  This is exquisite.

I have really enjoyed this story so far, but I was wondering when you were going to update it?

Fantastic story and great writing/characterisations. I love the humour, detail and the friendships that have emerged. I chuckled over Ginny's 'revelation' to McGonagall (which was handled with the aplomb that we could expect from an experienced Head of House) and the image that Hermione sent was truly wicked (he he), but Snape's reaction and later unconcious stroking of her elbow was a delight.I don't know very much about Goddess or Wiccan traditions/rituals but you made it sound true (great writing again) and it emphisised the merging of the four elements (which I believe is a central tenet?) also the equality of the participants, the importance of the sisterhood and the leaving of thier old lives behind-a coming of age ritual considering their ages. The Goddess religions also seem to be connected to fertility rites, which then works in with their ages. You tie this ritual with the coming together of the four houses (I'm sure JKR stated that she utilised this concept for the four houses - Slytherin/Water, Gryffindor/Fire, Hufflepuff/Earth and Ravenclaw/Air), and  contrasts starkly with the hierachial nature of Voldemort/DE, Dumbledore/The Order, Wizarding society, our own Muggle world, and monotheistic religions which are largely patriarchal in construct.  Goodness me I found out today that Testify and testiment are derived from the Latin Testisculus (yes one and the same male gonads!) - because under Roman law a witness was legally admissable only if testicles were present. Puts 'Legal Testimentary capacity' in a whole new light and...Imagine -  'My Last Will and Testicles' - sounds weird! But I digress... It is interesting that Snape seems to be the wizard that will help them. While you work it well from the HG/SS romance perspective and Canon it is also interesting from the point of view when you review his history, and consider his 'feminine' qualities. He seems to have mainly been used by males to achieve power or be subjected to their whims for thier own ends (- ie. his father, Voldemort, and also Dumbledore). This is contrasted by his relationships with females  - he seems to have been close to his mother (He identified strongly as 'The Half-Blood Prince) and his friendship/love for Lily seems to be his only true relationship based on equality and he has kept loyal to that. So for Snape to assist a sisterhood would be quite fitting because his struggle/loss of personal freedom and power of self-determination seems to echo a similar loss for women, witches and Goddess culture in history and subjugation under a patriarchal system/male figurehead/Monotheism.  Snape also repeatedly sacrifices himself selflessly, like Lily, for the child (Harry), which while not exclusively maternal quality is touted by Dumbledore as such. Then there is his love of chocolate!You set up Voldemort's Shakespearian flaws so well - He seeks out this Goddess magic only for its power and misunderstands its very nature, like love, thereby revealing a potential weapon that the light can use. This parallels nicely his lack of understanding of love in JKR's storyline. He misunderstands again because he does not know or understand women. He viewed his mother as a common whore - and only seems to barely tolerate females.Apologies for the grammar and long sentences....and I just couldn't stop with this analysis. My inner shrink is coming out! Anyway Great story, really love it and please update soon!Cheers.
