Okay so you are sort of following the timeline in canon. Up untill this chapter I was not sure if the story was post voldy defeat or not. Yes I am a slow on aparently!!I still have no clue what sort of a creature Chara is. Will the POV always be Snape's? yes I have a million questions. Yes I'll just shut up and go to the next chapter.

Some other type of magical creature then? Very curious.

I have no need to seek recourse in my personal dislike of you in critiquing your abilities as a student. Says Snape and yet that is exactly what he has been doing. This confrontation was a long time coming. I hope he can behave in a professional manor going forward. I yes I am an optomist why do you ask?

Well I for one wish I could have seen this :  resulting in him being yanked backwards unceremoniously as if an unseen hand had hold of the fabric. Its too bad Miss Parr could have seen it. She needs a bit of a laugh. Snape is being such a bastard to her. He could use some anger management therapy.

Hahahahahahah she got him back!Miss Parr is a muggle. Well things just keep getting more curious dont they? I want to hold Albus upside down and shake him till all his secrets come out!!

All the classes she is taking do not require the use of a wand! I am brilliant!

Snape and his bluster! I am glad Miss Parr took him down a bit.

So where does Miss Parr sit during meals if she has no house affiliation? I wonder what she and Draco were discussing. This new student has all sorts of mysteries.

I am here by way of a rec over on the live journal community fangirl_tour. OH my goodness Snape was in a fine mood today wasnt he? I think he may find his new student not nearly as intimidated as he would like. Ha!

What was MLE again?... I got lost in that part... and that thing Chara did to Snape's mind made Snape her handler?... at least for that bit of time?... and does that mean that while Lupin and Chara search together he takes the role of her Handler too??... xD great chapter you got me intrigued!!!!

xD... I had the same question that emmeline33... and now I know the answer... and she must do anything??!!... wow

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Folter is in big big trouble!!!!

oh... who IS SHE???!!!!...

oh my...

oh he's bad... xD... but she still knows something he doesn't!

I hate spiders too xD... and who is the special someone Lupin is thinking about??? great chapter!

I'm back... and there are plenty of chapters for me to read! Yay!!!... What did Snape do??!! LOL

I appreciated your illustrations of Lupin's unenviable postion in society.  He is one of my favourite characters, and it is refreshing to have a glimpse into his psychology.  I also liked the debate between him and Snape about whether or not there was a moral equivalence to their situations.

I really enjoy this story and the effort and detail you put into it, although I don't catch every chapter, so sometimes I'm a little confused! LOL I'd actually really love to rec this on a LJ community I run (The New Library), so I have two questions because I'm feeling a little lazy with research right now: is this the first fic you've written, and can it be found on other sites elsewhere? The comm is LJ based, and I'm never entirely sure who's a member of TPP, so the more links the better! :-) Sorry, this is rather a weird request! LOL

Author's Response: Wow, how exciting!  In answer to your questions, whilst this is not the first fic I've written, it is the first fanfic.  Alas the only other site OP is posted on is SH, simply because I'm not especially knowledgeable about other fanfic sites.  I looked at FF once and reeled back in confusion!  I could always make an LJ account for it if that'd make it more accessible.
Thank you so much for the five stars!

So, Snape's preternatural hunger has been due to Parr mentally shifting some of her burden for her Handler to him?  Well done.  You manage to eloquently describe your situations without being superfluous.  I love this story.

ARGHGHGHGGGGGGGG.....ANOTHER cliffie?! You are the very epitome of authorian evil! That said...absolutely fantastic chapter!More...soon..PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?*bats eyelashes*

complex and full of intrigue. You know how to have lots of action and still have a compelling plot. Yet I still feel a million miles away from knowing what is really going on. I hazard a guess to the identity of Greyback's unconcious guest, it's Chara's twin. And Chara eats like a ravenous pride of lions to keep herself and her twin from dying. And what was Snape supposed to do for Chara? Other than being eaten by Chara's soul reaper side. Can't wait for the next chapter.

xD!!... I really really really liked the fight!... so Snape thinks he can get away for putting spiders??... not a chance!!!... he deserves even more for doing so (I hate spiders =P)Loved it! =)

Ugh, I wanted to strangle Par in this chapter. She's so childish. Poor Snape, but what a goof putting that spider in her bed. LOL

So who is looking for Parr? Snape I think is over his head in this and had best start using some of his exalted brilliant intelligence. And why didnt' Lupin halt things before they got so out of hand? In canon there is a spell Hermione does to remove excess ink by the way. Well, this has been a interesting chapter....
