Interesting, very interesting. I think I am going to enjoy this very much:-))

"Surprise Surprise" is such an apropriate chapter title in more ways than one. I was looking for a new story to capture my attention and SUPRISE here it is. I like the way you covered the backstory leading to the present. I'm glad that Severus isn't being portrayed as the shunned, unsung hero of the War and that Hermione is showing a maturity in trying to think beyond book-learned knowledge. I'm hoping that the new teacher (former Huffelpuff Head Girl) doesn't try to get to Severus herself. She either doesn't matter much to the story OR you didn't want to divulge too much too soon. Thank you, I am now engrossed with this story and begging for updates shall now commence (lol).

You go girl! Keep him on his toes!  Great chapter!

I loved how Harry handled the Minister.  Very gutsy.

Just finished re-reading all 11 chapters and am waiting to see what happens next.  Love the build up of the Snape and Hermione relationship.  Will our mysterious baddie be making another appearance, and am curious to find out what promise Severus made to Malfoy. 

I never understood why hermione and ron got together in the book. If things don't go his way he sulks and gets into fights with hermione. Also your Ginny stays true to the books- she is such a witch. (sorry I'm a ginny basher).

I'm enjoying this so far, can't wait to read more:)

I liked Severus and Harry rather reluctantly working together.  I loved Harry pushing the Minister.  I'm glad Severus and Hermione were willing to work it out.
