Hermione finds a mysterious piece of self-writing parchment in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes that writes: Tell me your deepest desire. Thinking it’s a trick, she says, “I wish to see my soul mate?” and she suddenly finds herself at Severus’ feet.

I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Reviews for The Self-Writing Parchment
Sorry this has taken me so long to review. I went back and re-read the whole story. I am glad that Hermione is starting to really look at Severus. I hope that she can compartmentize her memories and keep her and Severus safe. Poor Neville, he never seems to get a break. Please update soon.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I"m flattered that you re-read the story. wow! Yes, she's talking a step to make the relationship more balanced. Oh, she's already doing the compartmentalizing, and using corridors, so this palace will be easy for her. Neville was scarred when Harry saw him in DH - which is where all my 'canon' parts what life in Hogwarts was like in this story came from. Neville will become quite the wizard in this. I'm working on the next chapter and hope to have it out soon. Thank you for reading and for the review.
Xyz•Hermione and Severus both have so much going on that I'm amazed they don't suffer permanent migraines. She is trying to find a way to charm mirrors, stay out of the Carrow’s way, learn Occlumency, and deal with Voldemort's interest in her. Severus is trying to keep is wife safe, deal with the Carrow’s hatred of Muggles in general and Hermione in particular, teach Hermione Occlumency and deal with Voldemort's interest in her.
I am intrigued that Severus is so interested in the Dark Lord's wanting to see her memories of Draco as well as Harry. Knowing Voldy's penchant for setting his followers up for a fall, could he be planning to ultimately punish Lucius by manipulating Hermione into avoiding Draco? Was Lucius sincere in asking her to look out for his son? Was he assuring her that he is watching out for her?
I have a feeling that her visit with Luna (who is brilliant, BTW) is going to bring big dividends. Now that she has an idea how Luna occludes her mind, she will be able to fashion her own Memory Palace.
I'm very glad that Peren came to get Severus when she realized that Hermione was in danger. Belinda's attempt to seduce Severus was an abysmal failure, but I'm betting that the real reason for her visit was to plant that book somewhere that Hermione would be sure to find it. If Hermione were dead, I think Bella hoped she's have a real chance with Severus. I'm just saying.
The way the Death Eater teachers are treating the Muggle-born students and any of their pureblood friends is going to lead to severe injury or death to a student. If Alecto or Amycus severely injured (or killed) his wife, I'll bet Severus wouldn't give a hoot about what the Dark Lord's wanted, he would take care of the Carrows in his own way... very slowly and with exquisite attention to detail. What happend to Neville deserves to be answered in kind!
I loved getting to see this side of Cillian. He really is a good guy, and he and Severus look out for each other. That would be a handy thing if you find yourself among the ranks of the Death Eaters. The news his sister brought him about his "Dark Lord Approved Marriage" to the Roquewood's daughter was met with a less than enthusiastic reaction from the intended groom. Maybe this will be the final push Cillian needs to get actively involved in undermining Voldemort. Let's hope so!
Of course, my favorite part was that amazing seduction she laid on her husband. I'm glad she has begun calling him by his first name, and I'll bet Severus is pretty pleased about it, too. Thank you for a great update, bea. Your story is fabulously entertaining, and I look forward to every new chapter!

Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Beth, I love getting your reviews. Yes, all that but you forgot, budget meetings, board of governors meetings and correspondences, Ministry meetings, correspondences, Umbridge’s constant interference letters, and possibly Narcissa’s requests and inquiries… what else? lol
Why Severus is interested in which memories the Dark Lord has ‘searched’ for in Hermione’s mind is important, and if he’s to ‘protect’ her and Draco, (the Dark Lord made Draco his apprentice over the summer because of the vow he made with Narcissa – thus extending it) he should know that the Dark Lord is interested. It could very well be the case that the Dark Lord has plans for Draco over the Christmas hols… Lucius is the consummate Slytherin, but yes, he was pleading, wasn’t he? The Dark Lord is living in his house – and using the Malfoy estate as his. Kinda makes you wonder what Lucius sees, hears, and is thinking.
Hermione was already using ‘corridors’ to try to block the Dark Lord and Severus. She sorts things into books, but now Luna has told her that it’s the same as building a memory palace. Yes, Luna is a very smart girl, very intuitive and inquisitive IMHO. Yoga to balance the mind and strengthen the body, a memory palace to sort her memories into… Love Luna.
Of course, Peren went to Severus. Who else would save her Mistress? He saved her before, and made her well, so it only follows he’d do so again.
Oh you’ve hit it on the head with Bella, the book, win Severus back, and inform baby brother that a wonderful *gag* match has been made for him. She was full of good intents – not.
Doll, Hermione is the only Muggle-born in the castle. 1 There are half-bloods and pure-bloods only attending lessons. But yes, if you recall canon, Neville told us what and where I’m taking this story. It will be hard on the students. And Severus.
Yes, you can count on the fact that neither Carrow would live if Hermione died. But there would be no proof that Severus had a hand in it, no way of the Dark Lord finding out.
Neville will be avenged.
Cillian is becoming a popular character. Yes, you got to see another side of him. He is a good guy – has a good streak in him. But he is a Death Eater and has done raids, Muggle-baiting, destruction of property, caused havoc and mayhem. He has a dark side and when pushed will kill as well. He knows the Dark Arts and has used them. But yes, he has been friends with Severus for years, and is taking his promise to watch and protect Hermione seriously. His thoughts about Larissa Roquewood were expressed in an earlier chapter (10. Perspectives) an his love interest as well. lol One more thing to push him perhaps. Yes, it was about time I had Hermione try to find a level footing with Severus. This part had been pushed back and back and it finally fit here. You know he was pleased about the initiating of sex, the name, she is going to have to be careful about that. There are those who won’t like it. lol You are very welcome, and I hope to have more soon. Hugs~how often we forget luna is a ravenclaw...that ain't chopped liver! facinating story. thanks and christmas and holiday smoochies
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
YOu are very welcome. Yes, she's smart, only she views things a different way and sees things more openly, imho. She's a fun character to write. Thnak you very much for the review.
Ah. -Sits forward uncomfortably- Guess I'd better get out of the easy chair to review. It was such a nice update. You pack a lot of action and story lines into each chapter, which is one of the reasons why your stories are such great reads. Luna--of course *she* would already know Occlumency, ha! I'm glad she was able to explain it to Hermione (and me) in a way that is easily understandable and accomplished. She'd actually be a rather good teacher, at least the way you portray her.Belinda. Now, there's a real operator, She reminds me of Scarlett O'Hara: relentless greedy, self-cetnered, prvileged, always wanting to steal the man who doesn't want her, and pretending to be a lady when she's anything but one. In short, she's everything Hermione isn't. She. Makes. My. Skin. Crawl! 'growls'
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you, that's a lovely compliment. I love Luna, she sees things as they are, no subterfuge, games, or masking. And she's not afraid to say it like it is. I could just see her mum sitting down next to her on a fallen tree and talking her though making a memory palace to keep all her thoughts and memories organized! it's like after Suirus died, Luna knew exactly what to say to Harry. She's a insightful girl that most of the students don't try to understand. That's why I love her so.Well, you certainly have Belinda pegged! Yes, she's everything Hermione isn't and Scarlett O'Hara-Butler is pretty much of the same cloth. Thank you for the review, snapesbeatrise, I really loved the comparisons.
I just found this story the other day and have now read all the way up to this point. I'm so glad I found it.I love Cillian. He is a wonderful friend to Severus, and I'm sure he will be a great friend to Hermione before all is said and done.I also am enjoying the way Hermione and Severus' relationship is blossoming into something with real depth and deep love. And now that Hermione has a logical way to approach Occlumency, Snape will finally be able to confide things that he could never tell her before. I'm sure he still will not be able to tell her everything, but she will understand his position better by far.And I must add my opinion from the Halloween chapter... at the party I got the distinct impression that Lucius was being sincere in his request that she befriend Draco. When the dance was over and he became rude, he was putting on airs for the loyal DEs around him. He has become disillusioned with Voldemort just as Cillian has, but he can't afford to show it. Just my opinion...Great job. This story is now on my "favorites" list.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I'm so flattered that you decided to give my story a read. Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope you like the rest of it as well.Cillian is how I see Severus if he'd come from a 'better' family, although Cillian's family isn't too unlike the Blacks. Cillian is fun to type and is a good friend to Severus, really would have his back. Severus and Hermione are getting closer. He does really care about her, but he isn't ready to admit to love yet. Hermione is dependant on him, but in this chapter she tries to find a little bit of equal footing, but isn't ready to dive in yet. There is hope.Hermione has been using the idea of walls, corridors, doors all along, but never organized it or made it an actual palace in her mind. Yes, if and when she can hold her own in Occlumency, Severus will be able to relax around her, but some shields may be hard for him to let go.
Oooh, that's a good summation of the Halloween Party. I can't say more now, but I think that the wizard that charmed and enthralled Lucius when he was a young man, a wizard stepping into the world, may not be the same as he is now. 14 years of living off others and drinking unicorn blood have left a mark on the guy - and not just appearances. It woudl be eye opening to have the Dark Lord taking over your life and home. But yes, appearances must be kept at all times, pretenses, and polite, loyal faces a must. I'm deeply flattered you've made this a favorite. Thank you very much and thank you for the review.
Was she wearing the Blast-ended Skrewt necklace when she tried to Apparate?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Hermione doesn't have to wear it in the house, therefore no. She ears it only when Severus takes her anywhere. Even then, he activates the spells after they arrive. Hope that clears things up. Thank you for asking.
Response from Merry Grace (Reviewer)
How did she manage to splinch herself so terribly then? I mean, I could buy she'd splinch herself just out of distraction from what was happening to her, but seeing as Hermione is such a superb witch, managing to get the hang of Apparition the first day they started to learn it at Hogwarts, I don't understand how she could do it quite that drastically.I don't mean to be at all negative, by the way, I'm sure there's a logical explanation. I am still quite intrigued by your story and am looking forward to seeing how Hermione and Severus deal at Hogwarts!Merry
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Have you ever been attacked? I mean, by someone with intent to rape you? Pettigrew had already attacked her once, on the stairs and hurt her badly, so much so she woke up in Draco's room with a worried Draco fussing over her, trying to save her life. And he had to call a Healer to heal her. Now she's alone in the house with this same man. 
In her shoes are you saying that's not stressfull enough to really unrattle you? I appreciate your train of thought, but really, it's fiction, not nonfiction. There is a bit of suspended belief. But if you discet every nuance you'll forget to simply enjoy the story. Actually, I got the idea from canon, when Arthur Weasley casually said "splinched themselves in half" and complained about the paperwork! 
Now you see that it's a much bgger problem then a cartoon tearing in half with both sides danglig, bloodless as the caracter stumbles around trying to pull himself back together. That's all that I was doing. Pettigrew was, in Hermione's mind, going to rape her, hurt her again, and she was scared. 
No wand, and no Snape to protect her. She saw the open door and ran, only to find herself in a small back garden with only one possible escape - Apparating. 
Remember, in this story, Hermione's part in DH -- all the things she did in book 7 - the mutiple Apparations with Ron and Harry Side-Along-Arrarating with her, never happened that way. 
She's the Dark Lord's prisioner, Severus' prisioner by the Dark Lord's order. 
Nah, a walk in the park for a 18 year old.
Response from Merry Grace (Reviewer)
Fair enough. I'll buy it. :)
Interesting chapter. I like how Severus and Hermione's relationship is steadily progressing. Loved all the information in this chapter...wonderful job. Update again soon! ~Jen
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you very much. Yep, loads going on. Yes, Hermione took a chance and another and the results were good! Thank you for the review, Jen.
Just a couple of critiques: 1). Instead of Severus making a lengthy explanation as to why he had to bring her, it would be a stronger action if he merely said, "I was pressed for time," or something of that nature. 2). The correct spelling is "per se" not "per say". Having said that, your story is very engaging, overall smoothly written and I'm quite enjoying myself. :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh, that would be one way, but really cut out Hermione's inner dialogue. I'm glad that you are enjoying this one. Thank you for the review.
I am so GLAD to see this new chapter! But I feel like a ninny, because I can't figure out why it was named "The Parchment". IIRC, a couple chapters back Peren found and packed the 'original' parchment in Hermione's things, so I thought maybe (at long last) she was going to show that original to Snape. Or, he was going to just 'find' it among her things---which would not have gone well at all for the developing trust in their relationship! So now I'm puzzled, as I don't remember any reference to a parchment in this whole chapter. Going back to look again, and please explain if I've missed something crucial here. I SO love this story, and am so glad you (and it) are back!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Chapter one, a very old magical parchment was discovered/found by Hermione. She activated its spells and used it, getting dumped at Severus' feet just as he'd arrived where he'd been summoned by the Dark Lord. And yes, Hermione discovered that Peren had found said parchment and stuck it in her trunk. Oh, it will be pulled out again, but when Hermione thinks she needs it. Don't rule out Severus finding it though, but there will be a problem with him using it... Does that help?No, I didn't leave but RL, a challenge and cleanup complications delayed my working on this one... sorry. But yes, I'm back and typing! Thakn you for the questions - that was fun. I hope I cleared things up.
Response from countrymouse (Reviewer)
Indeed it does help, it's just that I thought (from the chapter being entitled "The Parchment" in the pull-down menu of chapter titles, on the bar at the left of the page) that "this" was going to be the chapter where Hermione takes the Parchment out of hiding and it comes into "play" again. After all, iirc, Severus has orders from V. to find and more closely investigate this parchment, right? But at the same time, doesn't Hermione have 2 more of her original 3 "wishes" or "questions" or whatever left? So I'm looking forward to more of that. I noticed the chapter title (in the center of the page) is "Riddle of Occlumency", but as I noticed the chapter title in the menu is "The Parchment". Am I missing something there, or is it supposed to be that way?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Countrymouse, thanks so much for pointing that out! *smacks head* I forgot to check that. It's fixed now.
are you gonna keep writting?? sorry its that I dont usually read WIP so im just curious... BTW good story i luv the part of draco trying to befriend hermione hahaha its just hilarious
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
LOL It's in Queue as we speak! Yes, chapt 23 is in the posting process! I had to find a new beta to help me with this story. I have the next 3 chapters in rough draft and working on chap 24. In fact I have the chapters outlined through Easter! So yes, love, I'm writing... as RL and challenges permit me. (No more challenges for the rest of the year. I promise!) Oh and thank you, I love writting Draco's attempts to befriend her and her basically wishing he'd give her space. Thank you for the review. I'll get back to work, okay? Hugs~
I love this story! Can't wait for the next chapter!!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I''m in the middle of a beta search/change for this story, but I have several chapters planned out and a ways to go. So Sorry for the delay in posting. But I'm so grateful for the loving support. Thank you.
Response from Dungeon_Butterfly (Reviewer)
I'd be more than happy to help beta if you need an extra set of eyes :-)
My guess is the Slytherin girls are looking out for themselves lol. As usual, a very good read.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
LOL Of course they are, but... :) Thank you, doll. I appreciate the review.
The Slytherin girls? The dork lord's orders? Or hedging their bets? Nah, I don't see that quite yet. But, Severus did say she would be safe with them and he was their beloved head of house. I see him as respected by his house. They prize ambition and he led them to victory every year in holding the house cup for a long time. And what happens in House Slytherin, stays in House Slytherin.
That Belinda is a piece of work, I'm glad you gave us a target for our ire, lol. Enjoyed the chapter, glad to see you back.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Yes, he was their Head of House, and he did tell Hermione that she could trust them. You have some very good reasoning here, but still, even if it was simply respect for Severus, they didn't necessarily need to extend themselves in initiating a friendship with Hermione. The girls could have been respectful without including her in their circle of friends. Ambition or not - they have noticed that she is granted 'limited privaledges' in the castle. It's more than hedging their bets.Yep, Belinda is a piece of work, and selfish. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you very much for the review.
Everything is getting so complicated, and I don't know how Severus keeps up with everything he has to!
The afternoon tea with the girls from Slytherin House went very well, and I'm glad that Miss Glenwrythe has decided to be Hermione's friend. She will be able to circumvent a world of trouble for Hermione with Pansy Parkinson. And the Halloween Party went as well as could be expected, considering that Belinda was doing everything she could to seduce Severus—and right there in front of Hermione, too. I liked the put downs Severus dished out to the annoying witch.
Lucius is clearly worried about Draco. I hope that he wasn't insinuating that he could, in return for her sexual favors, keep her alive when she was no longer important to the Dark Lord. I'll be interested to find out just what Severus thinks about all of that.
Following all the thoughts that were going through Hermione's mind as she tried to find a way to communicate with Harry and Ron, I was intrigued by one of the titles of Severus' books that Peren had packed for Hermione: "The Rise of Darkness, Fastosus Opinio Praeiudicata Defendo." I tried to find a translation of the Latin, and the best I could come up with is "The Rise of Dakness, To Defend Pride and Prejudice." But since I'm no student of Latin, I have no idea how close (or far away) I was in my translation.
As I read a few of the reviews for the previous chapter, I realized there were a good many things that I had forgotten, so I went back to several of the earlier chapters and found some particularly interesting things:
• In the first chapter when Hermione, Harry and Ron had gone to Diagon Alley to purchase items from Fred and George's shop, Hermione went to Flourish and Blotts to buy a few books. There were more books she wanted than she could afford to by, and two that she decided to put back on the shelf were a book on Transaudient Charms, Reaching Across Distances the Magical Way, and one on Transilient Transfiguration. But Harry told her to get all of them and he paid the bill. When they returned to Harry's home, she went directly to the library and put her books on the shelves just before she pulled out the parchment she had found on the floor of the joke shop... and everything changed. Perhaps she will remember these two books in the library at Grimmauld Place as she works to create the two-way mirror communication devices.
• In Chapter 9, Hermione tried to refocus her thoughts, but the Dark Lord replayed the moment Hermione’s fingers touched the vellum sheet. A fleeting, faint glow emanated from the parchment, then vanished so quickly that Hermione had missed seeing that the day she’d found it.
The image of the transferred watermark and then the pearly black lettering came into focus, Make a wish, ask a question – I’ll show your fate, I’ll tell you no lies. He held her memory fast as she wrote, What should I ask for? The pearly black ink disappeared, then reappeared and scrolled into, Tell me your deepest desire. Three times I will comply – if brave you be, to face what you’ll see. Once again Hermione tried to redirect her memory, and a sharp pain made her recoil slightly, and she recalled laughing and saying, “All right, then.” As if in a Pensieve, she remembered thinking it was simply a trick sheet of parchment and wrote, Who is my heart’s desire? I wish to see my soul mate. The ink glowed for a fraction of a second, then blended into the parchment.
I have a feeling that you have been laying down very important clues since the first page of the first chapter! I'll have to really stay on my toes from now on!Beth
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
LOL, brayer, you really went through this chapter with a comb, didn’t you? I nearly gasp at the review! LOL love it!
Yes, Severus has a lot on his plate – and has since day one. Only you are seeing it now, or have been. But he’s handling it, well enough - or doing so cuz he has to and it's another reason he has Cillian there - to help him so he doesn't have to worry about Hermione at every minute of the day. He’s one capable wizard, our guy, and Cillian is a good friend. capable too.
Yes, Lucius is worried about Draco failing and being punished for not accomplishing his task. He really does care about his son more than almost everything else.
You managed to translate the title of the book well enough, (I have the Latin translated in the notes I had the book appear.) The book is from Severus’ bookshelf in his bedroom – one of the ones she wasn’t supposed to take from his house. Good call on the books from chap 1! Hermione wanted, and yes, Harry did buy them for her. And Hermione has a house-elf. 1+1 =
Yes, you got the bit right about the parchment. add another +1 =
Ginny brought Hermione her trunk to Hogwarts, because she knew that Hermione would be there, and Peren took the trunk to the Headmaster’s suite for her. +1, and yes, the parchment is in there +!, as well as a afew other things. +1 
see! And yes, there are many clues in the chapters of what I have planned in regards to some of the things I have planned happening in Hogwarts. Dianne - Cillian's girl. Belinda = problem. Cillian + Draco being around Hermione so much. And you’ll see Dianne and Belinda soon. And Lucius made a promise to 'make it worth her while - what do you think would be 'worth' Herminoe's 'while?' 
LOL Sorry there is so much in this, but I'm really having fun with this story!
I’m really glad that you enjoy this story, and thank you so much for following along. Hugs, dear. I really love the review!~
bea
yike! plots and counter plots and plots within plots. can't tell the plots without a program! faboo update. thanks so much
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh, did you want a program? I have a sudo outline! Being that I have a long jumbled mess with ideas, dialogue, bits, pieces, and even descriptions - Okay I wake up at night and type ideas that wake me up and say "Oh this would be good" ... Oh, yeah, You're very welcome for the update. 
I'm very glad you liked this one. I've a few more things to sort out then it's all a rollercoaster to the final battle and end of the school year! 
Thank you very much for the reveiw, kimjo. Hope you're having a good summer.
What a great chapter, I really like the way they start to understand each other!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you very much, gabi. As things get rough, they are going to need that. Thank you for the review.
Hmm. Am I wrong in assuming that you've set the stage for quite a few developments down the line? I really like the ideas of the Slytherin girls navigating these dangerous times with tea and manners. Were they feeling Snape out as well as Hermione?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh for the last few chapters I've been setting things up and gearing up for what will come. I've a few more to do and then... LOL I'm sure that the girls know Severus, he was Head of House after all. I doubt they like having Slughorn, but oh well. Yes, they were feeling out Hermione. Thank you for the review.
Oh , You update new one . It s sooo good . I wonder what Voldemort see in Hermione mind (if not her contact with Gini and Nevil ) Is she menage to block him ?Best regard from Lora and bring new chapter soon.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Yes, I thought it about time.LOL Pretty much he saw what he wanted, that she was obeying his orders, was obeying Severus, trying to get along with Draco, and was not causing trouble. Pretty much what I gave you in the synopsis. BUt no, she only managed to block the bedroom scene - but the Dark Lord wasn't interested in seeing anything that mihgt have gone on in the bedroom. LOL Thank you, Lora. I hope to give you more soon. Busy typing on it. Thank you for the review.
I really dislike Belinda. I wonder what is up with Lucius. And I do like your Voldemort, actually. I'm hoping you manage to get them all killed off, but I like him.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
YOu are supposed to dislike Belinda as much as you'd dislike Bellatrix. Cillian, hopefully you like, and Lucius is trying to protect Draco from Voldemort's rath. Oh, You like VOldemort or you like how I write him? I hope it's the second. I believe in just deserts.I think I checked romance, didn't I? So I promise that I won't disappoint there.Thank you for the review.
Response from blue artemis (Reviewer)
I like Cillian, quite a bit. I like the way you write Voldemort. I don't like him personally.
I have to wonder if Peren didn't pack those books deliberately to aid Hermione. ;)I thought the Slytherin girls were a nice touch. And I'm looking forward to Severus' take on Lucius' behaviour!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
LOL Could be Or she simply packed everything on Hermione's bedside table thingking she wasn't done with them... Thank you. You'll see them again. Oh, Next chapter on his opinion of Lucius. Of course, Severus might agree with him. Thank you for the review.
Thank you very much for this update! I don't mind Belinda at all; at least, until Severus can subdue her ;) *****
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
You are most welcome for the update. Thank you for sticking with me on this one. Oh, Bell is going to pop up again. It'll take more than subdue to chill her horse! Thank you for the review.
Interesting chapter,thought I was in the mood for a little more hanky panky, lol, than a back scrubbing the chapter was well wriitten and entertaining.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
huh Sorry. Things will progress a bit. Hermione is on the verge of two discoveries! I'm glad you found the chapter entertaining. Thank you for the review.
Thank you for the update. I have a little nit-pick (or Brit-pick). "High tea" is not the same as "afternoon tea" in Britain. It is a sort of early evening meal served with tea. Wikipedia says that using the term "high tea" to refer to an elaborate afternoon tea is a recent American usage.Sorry for the pickiness. I am really enjoying your story.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
You are most welcome. I guess the cats out to f the bag - I am American! Thanks for the Brit-pick. I'll change that right away!Glad you enjoyed the story even with my faux pas!
i can guess! they want to hit Mione up for an aero bar. it's understandable, really. aero bars are such tasty treats!oh? that's not it? are you sure?...well, it was a good guess~has a present for belinda! bestows upon her Jareth, the Goblin King! ~tadaa! and check out his pants, chica! ^.~~gets AKd~
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh, doll this was so fun to read, thank you. I dunno what an aero bar is, but, er, no. lol
And the idea of Jareth, the Goblin King at a Death Eater revel is way to hilarious! The imagined discussion between Jareth and Voldemort alone.....

hahah i knows! i was thinkin about what jareth would do...he'd probably turn everyone into goblins and voldemort, for being a pretentious prick, into a chicken.ya know? cause the fae... i think they are much more adept at mind magic...and magic in general...plus, old tom really is little more than a trumped up human...i think jareth's general disdain for humans would win out over blood purity...(ya know, except for sarah...he likes sarah! lols and toby)
Another great chapter!! It's great that she starts to see through him.

How can she not - she's living with him. She knows he's literally walking a thin line. Thank you for the compliment and the pretty stars.
