Got it in one!  Whether or not she has a plan, well, you'll just have to wait and see.

Not just Harry living with Severus, but an incapacitated Severus who can't do anything about it.  I think I could probably sell tickets for the good wall spots for that one.

OOh, that WOULD be quite a scene! I can only imagine that an incapacitated Snape would be a VERY grumpy thing to be around! :D

You know, there just might be a moment or two of flashback to that living arrangement.  ;D

Foreshadowing, my dear.  All will become clear in the fullness of time, in due course, at the appropriate juncture, when the time is ripe, etc., etc., etc..  Just one more mystery for the pot, though that one will be cleared up quite soon.

I'm so glad you're enjoying this.  

Ah, ok.  I thought I had completely missed something, but even rereading I couldn't find it.  I do love those mysteries.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you liked the Harry Severus friendship.  I am a bit worried that some people will see it as too Pollyanna-ish, but it does seem plausible to me.  I think a lot of Snape's nastiness to Harry was based on fear that Harry wouldn't be able to be what they all needed him to.  With the war over, that is no longer an issue.  On Harry's side, having seen the memories, Severus has become a person to him rather than a caricature of the mean teacher.  So there should be room for a friendship.

Such a pretty pink heart smiley you gave me!  Awww. 

I get into a quiz?  But, but, but ... aren't those for the stories everyone knows?  You know, the fanon.  I'm just the new kid around here.  *tries to look modest*

I have no clue where my ideas come from.  My muse never reveals her methods, and I am far too grateful for her gifts to question them.  They toys will be explained eventually; they are one of my sillier gimmicks.  I do hope you weren't eating anything messy when you got to that part! ;D

You did find me!  Was I lost? :D

I'm so glad you like the friendships.  I know some writers want to carry on the pre-war hostilities between the characters, but I'd like to think that, in the absence of the threat of Voldemort, most everyone would be able to put those things behind them and move on, at least to some extent. 

Thanks for reviewing.

She is indeed disguising herself as a boy, well picked!  I'm glad that I've managed to intrigue you with the mystery.

I'm so glad you're intrigued by my little mysteries!  All will, of course, be revealed in time.   Thanks for reviewing.

The prologue was just the link to canon, this is the beginning of the real story!  I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

Hi Jen!

This will, indeed, unfold in little bits and pieces.  Hope I can keep your interest.  :D 

I'm so happy you got in the first review!  Isn't the banner gorgeous!  And there will be more.  Moony and I have been talking about this as a collaborative work for quite a while now, but I wanted to spring it on the rest of you as a surprise. 

Whose transitions?  I'm pretty sure those were your input, my dear. 

I was totally thinking of you when I wrote the nutrition part.  :D  With so many comas, and no mention of IV lines, there had to be some magical means of feeding patients.I did do research on burn treatments (this is turning into a very educational story for me!), but you'll know much more than I do.  Let me know if I got anything wrong or missed anything?I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter!

I loved the chapter! I doubt I'd know MUCH more, simply b/c I'm not a doctor, and I didn't directly treat patients. I read through the section very carefully, and didn't spot anything to mention. :)

Yes, this chapter is mostly set up for what it to come.  I'm glad it worked for you anyway.

Thank you!  Severus does deserve so much better.

Thank you for the marvelous compliment.  This is my first real attempt at world building, so I'm thrilled that you are enjoying the Guild.

Thank you, I'm very pleased you think so.

Thank you.  This chapter is really an introduction to the main plot lines, so yes, it's a lot of tidbits rather than a solid chunk of story.

Thank you.  It seems silly to have a Resurrection Stone lying around and not find some sort of use for it.

Thank you so much for that wonderfully detailed review!  I'm thrilled that you're enjoying all the historical detail - I've really let my inner-historian loose on this story, and I wasn't sure how readers would respond.  I'll try hard not to make you wait so long for the next one.

You are asking all the right questions, ones she's worrying about herself.  Her life at the Guild is getting quite complicated.  I'm so glad you're enjoying it.

If you can "see" the Guild, then I've done my job!  This is my first real effort at world-building, so I'm thrilled that it's working for you.

Correct - women aren't allowed, and even if she were male, she was too old when she joined.  So she's disguising both her sex and her age.Harry's quite a brat in that line!  It's one of my faves too.  Glad you liked it.

Well, Calpurnia does refer to her as "the Potion Mistress" all the time, so she's got to find a way.  After all, this is Hermione, and she generally manages to accomplish whatever she sets out to do.

Nothing motivates our Hermione like being told she can't do something!  Thanks for reviewing.
