*NOW COMPLETE* How in the world does Hogwarts come to be doing a performance of The Phantom of the Opera? And just why is Snape so pissed about it?

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
*salivates over new chappy*I (of course) love it - but I never for a minute doubted I would. Still your writing is enthralling and keeps me anticipating more. And where I am willing to beg I doubt it would be any use. Goodness knows you aren't idle by any means. *wipes screen*Thank you for the wonderful finale to that long journey - I just know they are going to win! 
Love love love it!!!

I've been impressed throughout this story with how you are able to describe rehearsing or performing the same play over and over and yet make it different each time. It was interesting in this chapter to see the whole performance from Severus's point of view. And it just added to the whole of his emotions as he realizes he's been accepted by the cast. I thought this chapter was very well written. I'm looking forward to seeing how they fare and how the outing of Severus and Hermione's relationship is finally resolved.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
You have no idea how happy you made me just now. LOL I was online with Lotm agonizing over trying to do just that: describe these scenes AGAIN and somehow make them different and engaging. *headdesk* I'm so glad you felt I succeeded. *beams* And thank you for such a lovely review! :)

Yippee!!!!!! I've just got back from hols in the wilds of Scotland (serious wilds... no mobile signal, no internet, no cable) and I had a feeling while I was away that this fic had been updated, and I was right! Excellent chapter, I was holding my breath a couple of times and got a bit of a lump in my throat in places as well. When will Sev realise that people really like him now he's let his more neglected character traits show through? I'm glad Mrs G has reined herself in. Everything is looking up at the moment. Just need Albus and Sev to bury the hatchet and all will be roses. Great chapter!

Whoa! Another AMAZING chapter...I am SO LOVING THIS STORY!!! 
Im happy that Hermione and Mrs. G made peace, but how are the Grangers going to take Severus and Hermione's relationship. Gads I hope they will accept it!! 
Loved the Apparition into BOX 5 at the end of the play, I literally melted into the keyboard! LOL!! I'm still very pissed at ALBUS...he just needs to Apologize to Severus...That barmy old coot makes me want to wring his neck!! 
I'm still sending each chapter to myself and printing it out, I have 2 notebooks full, 4 inch notebooks BTW!!! Oooooo!!! YES Dear, that is HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS STORY!!! 
Now then onto the Question at hand.....WHEN WILL THE NEXT CHAPTER BE READY?? LOL!! (((HUGS)))

I wonder who will win? Not really, Hogwarts has it I'm sure. I know life has been busy but a vacation to HP con is hardly a good excuse for making us wait so long, just kidding of course, I have already lurked at your LJ page thanks for sharing your pics. It looked like everyone was having a wonderful time.Loved the chapter as always. Can't wait for more.

So glad you saw the pics from Portus. It was definitely something I wish everyone in fandom could have enjoyed. Thanks so much for the continued support! :)

Ah, well. The outcome of the competition was never in doubt in my mind. Don't remember now--what prizes will the winning school bag? *dazed* but enjoying the story immensely even with the wait. Felt sorry for Mrs. Granger--methinks Hermione was bit too hard on her. They're rightfully proud as anything for their brilliantly talented daughter and her school.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL The winning school gets 5000 Galleons toward developing their new curriculum starting the following year, where the others have to come up with their own way to include new curriculum without that gift money. As for Hermione and her mum, at least they've gone past the awkward part now and can move on. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)

Lovely preview of marital bliss for them *crosses fingers*. but her glamour that made her look more like Wednesday Addams is a bit squicky (a good idea, realizing that the older relatives of her classmates might recognize her and "out" them before they decide. . . . ). And yes, the Performance we've all been waiting for is in sight!! ::huzzah::

Each Chapter leaves me waiting on the edge of my seat, trying to figure out what will happen next. I just keep hopeing that their relationship wont be discovered before they are ready for it to be! Fantastic writing, and please hurry with the next chapter!!

Oh, lovely! I was a bit worried that the final peformance would feel a bit anticlimactic after all the buildup of rehersals, but it went off smashingly! Once again, you've given us a "play" full of romance and intrigue. Thanks!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
I was worried about that too! I actually said to Lotm, "How can I manage to write these same scenes AGAIN, for, like, the fifth time in some cases, and not be repetitive and boring?" *writhe* So glad it worked out. LOL Thanks as always for reviewing! :)

yeah! another exciting, emotional and fun chapter. - that means the kids and I will be listening to and singing Phantom songs all weekend again- as we always do when a new chapter is posted, or when I'm wishing a new chapter is posted... I'll have you know that my 5 year olds can do a very good version of "Angel of Music", "Music of the Night" and "Point of No Return"...thank you!!!

This was a fabulous chapter!!! When I saw that you had posted a new chapter, I was beyond thrilled...and that was about 5:00AM to day. I only had time to reread the previous chapter to refresh my memory, and half of this new chapter, before I had to begin getting ready for work. Couldn't wait to get home from work to finish it.I love the entire thing, but my favorite part is where Severus and Hermione Apparated to Box Five at the end of the play:"Their kiss was long and deep, and they had to consciously drag themselves back to reality when they heard the buzz of conversations fading as the audience left the house. Breaking apart and blinking dazedly at each other, they realized their mistake. Quickly smoothing hair and wiping faces, they straightened their clothes and then Snape Apparated them to the wing."*melts*Great writing, and you have made this reader so very happy by posting this new part of one of the best stories I have read! Thank you.Beth

*gigglesnort* Oh, man. When McGonagall tried to get Snape to smile . . . I could just picture his deranged look. It made me laugh tons.

This is the only fanfic I've waited so desperately for, and now I can't believe it's over! This piece of fiction, in its entirety, is beyond amazing. You've out done yourself with this mammoth beauty, and you should certainly consider a mild bout of rest and recuperation before embarking on your next voyage into the world of writing -- you've certainly deserved it!Thank you, well done and bloody-hell-that-was-brill,

*beams* Wow! What a lovely review! *blush* I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much. I'm kind of itching to write something, but nothing's biting at present, so we'll see what eventually comes out! LOL Thank you so much for reviewing! :)
Oh my god.... 4 years... has it really been so long? Wow. You have us all enchanted. I know I held my breath at certain points throughout the performance. I was truely bewitched ;pI look forward to the results, though I can't help the feeling of forboding... which I hope is just my evil angst side perking up. Where'd my fluff hope go? (Just incase you're wondering the angst - would be that Hogwarts is disqualified or loses marks because of Snape leaving or something like that... which would SUCK... but you wouldn't do that to us poor readers... would you? *begs you not to*)I look forward to the next chapter... and now I'm off to bed as it's gone 00.30 and I've still got to walk home from my parents. *sighs*
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Does that prove I'm a real witch then? LOL You DO have an evil angsty side, don't you? I'm mean, but not THAT mean. *snerk* Maybe. *shifty eyes* ;P So glad you're still enjoying it, and thanks so much for reviewing! :)

What a fabulous performance! I bet they are feeling fairly bittersweet about the performance. Riding the high at the moment, but when they have settled down they will realize what they will be missing without rehearsals and will be disappointed it is over so soon. I like Dumbledore's bio for Severus, though I think it is somewhat rude that he announced Severus' resignation in such a manner. It would have been more polite to make the comment at dinner in the Great Hall.

Re: Dumbledore's bio--You're right, but the old man just doesn't get some things, obviously. *sigh*Re: being let down now that the show it over--I know I always had a hard time coming back to reality after a show was over.
