Percy's death: now, this is a serious matter. Vive la résistance!

Another golden...I mean pink...I mean black? chapter.  Regardless of color, that was another very funny one.

How delightful, a flirting Snape!  Very out-of-character, but I'm not complaining!  The rebelliousness against the Ministry and Umbridge is wonderful.  More, please!

Snicker, snicker, snort.  Snerk.  MORE!

Severus flirting! It sorta makes me hate Umbridge less...just a smidge. The Percy revelation was a dark addition, but appropriate. Great wry fic you got here! 

I love it!  Severus handeling pink lacy things....OMG!  Can't wait for the next chapter.

This is just too funny. I love it! Though I do feel sorry for poor Snape. Not allowed to be Snapely in any way shape or form. poor fella!

I love your story so far, Snape and the twins together as leaders of a resistance group against the pink terror are just great. How interesting that Snape and Hermione saw the same sign... Hope to read more soon.

Hmmm, Snape and Hermione saw the same sign eh?! I'm loving it! And I so love the fact that Snape and the twins are laeding this resistance, what a great mix! More soon, very soon, please?!!

Heeeee! I love it! It's nice to have something completley different to read, and funny. Urrghh, the thought of Umbridge reigning over the magical world is truly terrifying, it makes me shudder! Great start!

Bloody hell! This is an incredible story! I'm on my toes, waving a banner and shouting on the top of my voice, "Give me more!"(sorry for swearing, overwhelmed) The Umbridge rule is terrifying here. You managed to extrapolate her canon tendencies in their greatest extreme, making her a totalitarian even Stalin would bow to. Personally coming from the Eastern block, I relate to the terror in your story very deeply. No, it has never been of this magnitude, but I remember the fear. Not panic, just fear that makes you look over your shoulder. Just tell me this will have a happy ending - for the society, characters could be spared if they must, and you will get yourself a devoted fan, who promises to compose full-blown literary analyses instead of mere reviews for each chapter.

Excellent!  Can't wait for the next bit, this is hilarious!

I think this is a great start to the story. I can't wait to read more. I don't think I have read anything with Snape leading a resistance before and I look foward to Umbridge making an appearance.

Nice one!

Mandy.

I lOVE this! Very fun but also full of those great parallels. I feel like I'm in a very pink version of 1984. Thanks!

cakcles again.... I'm pasting a sardonic grin on....for you!

LOL

Bril, absolutely bril again. I feel like I've stumbled into some strange, cheery, satiric version of 1984.  And I dearly love 1984.

So Snape and hermione see the same thing, eh? Well, surprise, surprise. Books, knowledge, and all that. tee hee.

Could they possibly be soul mates? gasp.

Because if you make him her father, suddenly, I'll chuck my monitor out the window.

LOL
Great job, as usual.

Author's Response: Thanks!  I'm really glad you enjoyed the chapter and found it funny!  Eww - father - no - I'm not that twisted!  (laughs)

Snape and the twins as comrades in arms sounds slightly disconcerting, but of course much better than 'Think Pink'. What a fantastic idea!

Just started reading this...most, most excellent!  Then I looked at the author's name...why was I not surprised!  Keep them coming!

Another nice chapter.  Interesting that Snape and Hermione see the same thing.  AND it's interesting that the twins didn't see the same thing.  How will THAT be explained?  And I LOVED the decrees.  snort. 

How many times can one attempt to control the snort of laughter while reading this fic?--without the other inhabitants of the room thinking one is nutters!   Definitely something origional.  This one just has to have your mind in imagination overdrive of the potential chaos this woman could cause on the world!  This "pink" imagry reminds me of a hospital I worked at where they put a "mauve" floor tile down in one of the wings---mauve my foot, it looked like someone dumped a huge load of pepto bismol on the floor!!!!!   Looking for more--of your story, that is.

I don't think my eyes have crossed so many times before whilst reading a chapter.The description of what denizens of the Behavioural Reconditioning camps are like made me shudder.If the alternative is Thinking Pink, I'm joining the resistance.

I'm rubbing my hands in glee that you've got a new and so thoroughly original tale. AND WITH LOADS OF YUMMY TENSION. Yay for you!

This sounds very funny, but the mechanics of this pink power are very much like the ones used by the Nazis or Stalin. That's a well done parody.

An excellent beginning, I'm really looking forward to more! It reminds me a bit of the Doctor Who episode The Happiness Patrol but the premise fits so well in the HP universe as well.

 A (pink) world with an Umbridge in charge is a truly scary thing to contemplate. What a good thing this world also has a Snape (and a Hermione!) in it to put things right again. I'm also curious about who else is or will be involved in the resistance.

This reminds me of a scene from Funny Face (the Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire version, please) with a heaping helping of The Handmaid's Tale. Evil sometimes comes in pretty packages and our own complacency does us in.

I do like how you've mangaged to address potentially serious issues in such an amusing way. Viva la romance! Viva la Revolucion!

I can't get over how original this fic is.  You are amazing!  Another great chapter.
