I have completed my Master's of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and want to focus on serving the LGBTQIA community and the Alt/Kink/Poly communities in my work. I used to be a poker tournament director and floorperson at the world famous Binion's Gambling Hall in downtown Las Vegas. Before that, I was high school Spanish and Theatre teacher. I am happily married and (thankfully) have NO kids. I have an original short story published here: http://www.elm-books.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=R01%2DChristmasBadGirls under my penname, Jess Alynn. Thanks for taking a chance and reading my stories! :)
Oh, and check out the "trailer" for Phantom of Hogwarts that xtahsee made for me on youtube! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k63yCE9sslY
Reviews for Phantom of Hogwarts
Oh! We're winding down.... just one week to performances!!!! I'm so excited!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Of course, after the performances, we still have the rest of term to get through to see our couple off. So, while we are MUCH closer to the end than not, it's not in immediate danger of stopping. LOL Thanks for the continued support! :)
Oh I had two chapters to catch up on. I guess that what happens when you move and misplace your laptop for several weeks. I though I was going to go insane if I didn't find it soon. That being said I do live the progression of this story. I enjoy McGonagall's attitude towards Dumbledore and how she is willing to help Severus with anything. I almost feel bad for the couple who is living at Severus's house. They seemed so sweet, I glad that he talked to them. Hopefully that will help him deal with his past so he can move on to the future with Hermione. I can't wait for the next chapter and looking forward to the preformances.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Sorry you misplacd your laptop, but I'm glad you had two chapters to enjoy when you found it again! You pegged exactly what I wanted to show with the scene in Spinner's End: a chance for Snape to deal with his past and begin creating a new relationship with his old home. Thank you so much for a great review! :)
damnit, I almost feel sorry for the old goat, twinkly-so-and-so. But he does have to apologize to Severus. painful to watch, since their dynamic is so *ahem* parental. Very happy to see updates on this, as always.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
While it seems heartless to say so, I can't help but be glad that you find it painful to watch, as that means you have an emotional connection to it, which is always what I hope to evoke in my readers. LOL Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
I absolutely love this story. I have seen it posted a few times, but I was hesitant to read it because I didn't think I would like the Phantom of the Opera. I have never watched the play, movie, or read the book, but now I want to. You are a terrific writer! Keep it up!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*blush* Why thank you! I highly recommend listening to the original cast recording. The movie was good too, but in no way compares to the original play. LOL Thank you so much for reviewing! :)
Please Update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
When I can get the next chapter finished... *sigh* Been busy all over the place here. Hope to get stuff hammered out soon. Thanks for the support! :)
I Love this fic!!!!! Possibly the best snape hermione i have ever read! Phantom is one of my favorite shows, and I once sung the part of Christine Daee just as hermoine is doing!!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Lucky you! *turns delicate shade of green with envy* LOL I'm so glad you're enjoying it, and I hope you continue to do so. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
No! It's not over yet, it can't be!!!Really, I cannot wait for the next installment. I've been reading a few bits of this story each night before I go to sleep for the past week and a half or so and I'm just mesmerized - it's really hard to pull my face away from the screen to go to sleep! Just thought I'd let you know I think you're doing brilliantly and I can't wait to read more!

Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!!! Wow! You just made MY day. ;) I'll be working on it as much as I can when I have time. (Amidst all the HP-craziness right now, of course. *snerk*) So glad you're enjoying it, and thanks so much for reviewing! :)
I don't have much time to review so I just say I still love your story, and I'm still waiting for more and I'm excited of how everything will turn out with SS and HG in public, when the time comes I mean, and with Albus. And I hope SS doesn't loose Minerva as a friend when truth is revealed. Have to go now. Keep up the good work!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*waves* Hi! Glad you're still enjoying it, and I appreciate you taking the time to review again. *beams* Thank you!!! :)
I have really loved this - I have read all of it in the past three days and I would love to read the conclusion once you post it - this is an interesting plot device adn I have enjoyed your detailed explanations. Good writing muses as you continue
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Wow! *blush* I'm so glad you've enjoyed it thus far. I was writing earlier today (thank the PTBs)... Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Ok, now that I spent several hours each day for the last few days reading this story and neglecting my dishes and laundry....it's time to tell you what I think about it =)
The story is quite impressive and you did a remarkable job building the relationship with Hermione and Severus. I love all the descriptive goodies for him-the way you describe his voice, his stance, his emotions, his eyes.... I wish *I* were Hermione LOL
I also love how you weaved together the Phantom of the Opera storyline-I am obsessed with that play and this story was just delicious.
I think you developed all the characters really well- I especially appreciated Neville, Ginny, and Harry's roles in the story.
The romance is intense and I can't wait to read more. This is why I hope I get to these good stories once they have been written already....I don't like waiting. A few more things, and then I'll let you get back to writing the next chapter (hint hint wink wink).
I loved how I couldn't ever pinpoint exactly how things were going to work out. I felt sure Ginny would figure things out, but I thought she was going to go back to Hermione's room that night with Harry and read her letters (since she might have an idea how to read them being Fred and George's sister) but that would have been scary-especially with Harry there. I'm also still worried that Harry will see Snape and Hermione in her room on the Marauder's Map. But then again....if he was looking at it he probably wouldn't be looking at anything in the Gryffindor tower....
Poor Snape-he thought he was done for so many times-this last one with McGonagall really had my nerves twisted!
I can just picture my idea of Severus Snape in my head with both his smouldering look and with that predatory gleam in his eye ::shiver::
Ok....can't wait for more!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*shivers with delight* Wow! You just totally made MY night! LOL I'm so sorry about your dishes and laundry... *huge grin* Okay, maybe only a little sorry. ;) It really makes me happy that you've enjoyed it so much and that I've still managed to not be utterly trite and predictable. Thank you so much for reviewing, and I'm working on the next chapter! :)
*Whew!* Great use of McGonagall...ooooo, I can't wait to see how she is going to take the news of SS/HG eventually, though...~HR
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
We're all shivering in our boots about the eventaul reveal... LOL Thanks so much for all your help and for reviewing! *hugs* :)

Yay!!! McGonnegal!!!! He was "dehydrated" hmmmmm??? lol...
Author's Response: *snerk* Well, there was the matter of all the sweating and *cough* other spendings... LOL Thanks as always for reviewing! :)
This chapter was another welcome addition to the story. I am having difficulty understanding Severus' guilt, I assume that he just basically feels guilty for being who he was/is. I hope that you are going to write a bit more about the play soon. I especially like the chapters in which play practice occurs, simply because I love Phantom, and, well I love Snape.Elen
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Re: Snape's guilt--well, this time, not only is he still guilty of having a relationship with a student, but said relationship has progressed QUITE far, so, not only is he keeping secrets like that, but he's also deceiving McG, who has just leapt to his defense with AD. If she's stepping up to the plate to be his friend and ally, he's guilty that he's going to be deceiving her for the duration, and with her star pupil, no less. Along the lines of something he thought a long time ago, the more you care about someone, the more you worry about whether or not you'll hurt them, and, conversely, the more they'll be able to hurt you. It's all rather a lot of turmoil for him, since he's spent so long with just AD as his mentor and friend, with no other outlet for emotional attachment. We're going to get some more details about the performances/competition soom. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
*grabs nearest pitchfork and flaming torch and heads after Dumbledore*Damn you, woman! That was close. I really thought Minerva knew what was going on!I do feel sorry for Dumbledore, though. Now he has an irate Slytherin and Gryffondor against him. Mwahahahaaaaaaa...Great work! Keep it up!-=Liz=-
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!!!!! Whew, for a moment there, I was afraid you wer comign after ME with that pitchfork and torch! I have a sneaking suspicion that AD will eventually learn a lesson... *shifty eyes* Thanks as always for reviewing! :)
Yay, update!
Hrm...I hope those "prospects" Minerva is looking for aren't also of the female sort. Hermione wouldn't like that much, now would she?
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*facepalm* Oh lordie... LOL I can just imaging Snape telling McG that she's acting like AD, and she'd throw a fit. *snerk* Thanks as always for reviewing! :)

Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
ROFL!!!!!! BTW, I have a VISIBLE bruise on my knee!!! It actually was visible already before people were leaving. *snerk* And how's YOUR concussion? LOL I had way too much fun. Thanks for coming *cough* and bringing your aunt! And thanks, of course, for reviewing! :)
I <3 you. I'd fallen a few chapters behind, but this was brilliant to read today as I'm recovering from being sick. I can't wait until the next chapter.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!! I'm glad I could give you something to help you feel better! (And I'm glad the blistex is helping, too. LOL) Thanks as always for reviewing! :)
I simply must say...it was REALLY worth the wait!
I can't wait for the next chapter...I'm addicted to this fic...
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)

That was AWESOME!!!Now I really can't wait for the real thing!!
Author's Response: LOL!!!!! Hmm, somehow, I just don't see any of this sort of relationship happening in Book 7... *snerk* I know what you meant, I'm just being a dork. ;P So glad you enjoyed it, and thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Well, I'd say neither of them will forget this night too soon. WONDERFUL CHAPTERS! The long wait was not for nothing. I love how it all went from Snape's mental collapse to Hermione shooting him, from Dumbledore's actions to the plans of the future and finally playing, experimenting and loving. Things got really hot here!!!I love this story, which is quite a strangee since I really don't ship SSHG, but I can't wait to read more what will happen with play and Dumbledore and all.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*happy dances* It really makes me happy that you are enoying it so much, especially since you're NOT a SS/HG shipper. LOL If I can manage to hook you without a predisposition to the pairing, then I really feel I accomplished something. ;) Thanks as always for reviewing! :)
That was um, SO FREAKIN HOT to say the least. Worth the wait, indeed. Your chapters never fail to dissapoint. Please, more more!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*grin* So glad you enjoyed it, and it didn't disappoint. LOL Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
OMG! OMG! OMG! Where the f*ck was I when you updated... normally I'm right there... but this time... *shakes head*
And wow!
I'm sorry, I normally end up saying something as short and simple as that, but wow.
I really hope Hermione can figure out a way for Severus to leave without them having to throw their relationship in people's faces. *Sigh* Albus really is an arse. But at least Hermione and Severus are happy with how things turned out *snort*
I very much look forward to your next update, impatient as I always am *grin*
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
