YES right so far.  Awesome story.  Tamara

This story is a riot.  I bloody love it.   Tamara

Surprises just keep coming.  Damn you are good.  Tamara

oh boy more puzzles yippy.  I can't wait to see if it works and how well it worked too.   Tamara

I love puzzles, any kind that makes me use my brain, like this one.  I'm not even going to tell my guesses because I know you  won't tell so I'll just keep reading.  Until next time.  Tamara

OMG they are so going to be caught.  I just know it. Be careful guys.   Tamara

So the plan is moving right along.  Beautiful.  Tamara

She isn't the only one who wants to kill someone.  Brilliant now she just has to fall for him and he's back.  Perfect.  Tamara

No way only 30.  Unbelieveable.  That pisses me off.  I can't wait to see what name  she comes up with.   Tamara

OMG after reading the summary, I thought this would be something good to read and I was so right.  I can't wait to see what is next.   Tamara

Okay, I thought that this is a really genuine story and the plot is just amazing, with all the riddles and such. But, ( Yes, there is a but ^.^) I didn't like the kind of relationship Severus and Hermione were having. Maybe I'm spoiled by all the other storys I've read, but I think they talked to little about their companionship. Maybe because this isn't mainly based on romance, but I felt a little bit left out. I couldn't identify properly with them, so to speak. Above all, this story begets a very talented writer and I would be delighted if you choose to write a sequel.

I really enjoyed reading your story.  It is creative on so many levels, and the characters are really well-done--very 'believable',  so to speak. 

You wrote such a wonderrful response to the challenge! This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've read this and it's still a great read.   Thanks!

I couldn't wait to finish this, so I came looking for it here.  I liked it, I really liked it!Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!

I definately enjoyed the story. It was well-written and plotted with wgood characterizations. I hate it when characters get too fluffy and sappy and these were great. I guess my one question is that with the love potion that Hermione brewed and dosed them both with, are they eternally slaves to it then? So, it's a darn good thing that they're happy with their situation, yes? :) Thanks for the story. (Loved the puzzles, they were great.) ~Ginny

I saw this story rec'd on Potter_Place about a week ago and finally had the time to sit down to read. I'm really enjoying it and stopped here to tell you how much I love puzzles and how very clever of you come up with all of these. I'm part way through the next chapter and I am quite certain that #36 is the answer to what happened to Albus Dumbledore. But I've also loved trying to figure out who is who, I know that that you made up a few of these, but the ones that are canon, I've enjoyed trying to pick-out. Such a clever man. :) ~Ginny

I really enjoyed this story. It was fun to figure out the Muggle puzzles between chapters. A very interesting take on what to do with the Deatheaters. A good read.

ACH!!!!!! Don't leave me hanging here!!!!!! Please continue soon!!!!!!!! I'm glad Fudge is dead, but now what is going to happen? I really doubt that Lucius is innocent, and I can't imagine any of them getting fair trials if they are un-Soulstruck! And what about Albus? Does he have any magic left or was that already stolen by Fudge?!

Oh Gods! How sad! My heart is being torn out! Poor Severus. I hope Hermione is able to save him and restore his soul!

Thrilling, shocking, wonderful and amazing story, thank you so much!

Author's Response: Thank you.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Extremely well developed plot, intruiging indeed! Severus was definitely OOC in a good part of the story, and I wish the ending had been a little more developed. Otherwise, very good story, keep up the good work.

And the notorious Doomspark spreads his wings on PP. Honestly, you've made me one happy little nss tonight (hope you know that even through all the teasing). I love this story. Thanks, Doomspark.

Dumbledore, curious bumblebee?  I'm right ain't I?  Damn fudge so glad what happened to him in HBP did.  Not saying what case you ain't read it yet.  Good so far but isn't GRIM a little cliche?  Anyway, I like it!  I'm rating this a four though because of Bill's dialouge he sounds like some honky redneck.  I should know I'm surrounded by them.  Still very good.

So I came over here because I saw your story at ashwinder and wondered if it was already posted here. Thank heavens it was!

 I loved this story. You set it up so well - I literally gasped and did a double take [while my heart pounded] when Hermione read the last name to the long puzzle. Very well done, in all aspects.

Thank you for such a wonderful story!!!  I loved all the details you have woven thorough out this very clever tale.The back story you gave for the house elves is the sort of thing that fleshes out a story and puts flesh on its bones.I felt sorry for Harry that he lost Sirius again after only just finding him, but I'm glad you had him make peace with Severus.  Well done.And I am thrilled you have begun posting your sequel!  I am very interested to see how this story of Hermione and Severus progresses.Thank you for this.  I love having Albus back, and maybe even Lucius will be brought back to health.  I love it!Beth
