yep!

indeed!

It is all said here in the very chapters. Only one reviewer found it but (s)he's the proof.

thanks!

Ginny's choice is more adequate for sure, but not at all along hundreds of years of posh pureblood tradition.

Yeah, you did, but Severus got all nervous about it.Thanks for that looong line of reviews!

nope :-)

Thank you, JoAnne. I'ts definitely more fun inventing such tests than taking them! I apologise for the slow progress, but Severus and I had serious trouble "handling" Ginny in the beginning.

The visitors? Yes, they were. But Severus didn't expect Ginny--or you--to be that smart!

Oh, yes, he did! His pure-blood education helped him gather his thoughts and formulate them clearly, whatever the situation.

Took them a while to understand. Poor Harry, though! BTW: I'll not deliver a full picture of what happens at the Order, just a little bit more than poor Ginny has.

Wow you're a thorough reviewer, I like that! Draco wants to be an easy target here, but indeed, Ginny has to find that out first. Besides that, we never learned how food ends up in Wizarding kitchens.

They have to, as there's hardly anyone else to talk to. BTW Draco has developed his personality in the half-year I skipped here. You can check it out in my other story.

thanks so much, Sunny! I hope you'll like the solution they're forced to accept.

Ginny never enjoys taking tests, but I enjoyed making these up. Thanks so much, dear, for your review and the nice stars.

Thanks, Monami for this encouraging review. Severus and I are having some trouble with Ginny rigth now, but I was indeed planning to send the next chapter to betas next week. Now you've given me another incentve!

thanks Snichette for sticking with me. Will think about the beta-issue after my holiday. Joyeux noël et bonne nouvelle année,Bettina

Thank you very much for leaving a note. Updates are coming rather irregularly, I know, but they do come eventually.

You already know more than Ginny does, isn't it yet enough? OK, I'll try.Thanks for your review!

Even Severus agrees that they were useful. Not when you press him to say so, though. The teaser-like style (borrowed from the novels published in weekly/monthly magazines to ensure the readers buy the next one) is meant to confuse--who'd have guessed?Any guess who it is? Thank you for your kind words and the lovely stars.

It is what you deserve as a Gryffindor, isn't it? Finally there's no doddery Dumbledore who always pampers his own house. Thanks for reading&reviewing and for the many beautiful stars!

Thank you so much for your nice review! I'm not the quickest, and betaing needs time, but the story is outlined, and I've most chapters well drafted so that this story will continue.

They'll not take it lightly, I agree.I haven't spent much thought on Salazar Slytherin psyche, but you might be right. Thank you for your nice words!

Well, these professors aren't pedagogically experienced or selected for their natural skills/interest in the matter. They are supposed to keep the pupils under control so that parents have their hands free, and this shows. The pupils also had half a year of  building up energy, skeeming pranks. Thanks for your review!
