*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! :)

Reviews for Phantom of Hogwarts
wow this story is so darn long. i have been putting off reading it because its so big and long and a wip. someone said that it isn't even halfway done yet it already has 52 cahpters. it's just a little disheartening for us who are just now trying to jump on the train for a ride.Is there any recommendation of what chapters are the most important to read so that i can catch up more quickly without reading through all the extra stuff? when do you think it will be over? is it true about the halfway?
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Um, if you don't want to read a long WIP, then I wouldn't recommend reading this fic. As for which chapters are more important--I honestly couldn't tell you, as I wouldn't have written them if they hadn't a purpose to the progression. As for how far it is, I can say that it started on October 31 in the fic 'verse, and it's currently at February 6. The performance happens April 6. Now, does that mean that it'll take the same amount of words to get to that place as it's taken to get this far? Not necessarily. As it's gone along, some chapters cover many days, and some chapters cover only certain parts of one day, and a few chapters are needed to cover the entire day. It varies, depending on the events that are happening. I'm sorry you find it disheartening. Not surprisingly, I would view it the other way: if I see a very long fic, and I want to read it, I start, and if I like it, I know I have something I enjoy available to keep my interest for a while. I used to be able to update once a week, then once every couple of weeks, then a few weeks, and then it's actually hit a month a couple of times now, but I'm always striving to be able to update sooner, I just have more claims on my time now than I had when I began. *grumbles abour RL getting in the way, LOL* If the amount of fic is too daunting, then I thank you for taking the time you have already to give to reading this far. If you decide to keep reading, then I hope you enjoy it. Either way, thanks for reading, and thanks for reviewing! :)
I'm so sad it's over... but yet, glad I've gotten to read the end!{{hugs}} you've done a marvelous job, my dear, and I've enjoyed reading and chasing after you with this story!Well done! And of course, a large thank you for not abandoning it!!!!!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
I could never abandon this! I couldn't do that to all you lovely folk who supported me all these long years. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
I can't believe it's finished! 6 years of reading this fantastic story. I loved the ending! At least I know it's not quite finished yet, I have to go back and read it from beginning to end now! =D
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Awww, I hope it holds up on a reread. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Fantastic ending!!!! The ending is rightfully served just like a real movie!!!! CONGRATS to the author for making such a fantastic story! Every considered writing romance/musical stories featuring a tall dark sexy man? If you already did, could I please have the title? :D
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!! You're so sweet. I'd love it if I could ever see something like this as a movie, but alas, earwax. ;P As for having written anything original like this, I haven't, but if I do, I'll be sure to let people know. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Wow Great Chapter..I have to be honest tho I didnt think hermiones parents would act as bad as they did I thought they might have been shocked at first but then be okay with it i dod not expect them to get angry .... O well I cant wait for the next update...Erica
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Well, I was basing this reaction on how my parents reacted when I announced my engagement (to an older man--8 years). LOL Actually, my mum waited three days before she lit into me. They just acted kind of blase when we were on the phone about it when we announced to them. ;) Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Response from SweetIntoxication17 (Reviewer)
LOL I guess I was expecting my moms reaction lol. I am also engaged to an older man 11 years, and my mothers co worker, thats how we met actually...and when we told her she actually too it pretty well LOL:)
Still going great! I hope I don't have to wait as long for a chapter though:)
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
We'll see if I can manage to get another chapter finished before Azkatraz. Unfortunately, we'll have guests for 5 days of the next couple of weeks before I leave for the Con. *fingers crossed when not typing* Thanks so much for reviewing :)
this was a very good chapter, more like what I was expecting
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*beams* Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reviewing :)
it took me a few days to read all this but it was worth it!i love this story and cant wait to find out what happens, plz update soon
lol
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
Wow! *beams* I can imagine how long it took, and I'm so pleased you've enjoyed it. Thank you so much for reviewing! :)
I can't quite believe how long it's been since my devotion and love of the story, and it's use of Phantom of the Opera began!This was just a lovely ending, that left me welled up by the end. The epilogue was touching, charming and simply perfect for the characters, which I myself, feel I have grown up with! It was honestly beautiful. I'm so sad it's over now.. the fic I have been most loyal to since I joined TPP.You must be very proud of this story; it's just wonderful. <3x x x x
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*blush* Aww, you're so sweet! I'm so glad you enjoyed this long journey. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
WOW simply wonderful GW. Has it been 6 years already? well you know what I'm going to have to do now. Start at the begining again. lol you took us on a great adventure and I thank you for that. Looking forward to your next one.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!! Yes, six long years. *headdesk* I'm glad you enjoyed the whole journey, and I hope it holds up on a reread! Thanks, as always, for a lovely review. :)
Everything about the wedding was perfect, their choice vows and the place for their honeymoon could not have been better.Hermione's wedding dress is beautiful, and I would love to have been a fly on the wall to see how lovely/handsome the wedding party was. I'm sure Fred and George managed to take a few "surprise" photos of the people present. Like maybe at the reception? I can see Severus and Hermione standing close beside each other and enjoying the sight of all their friends and family... and if we could see them from the back, Severus would have his hand square on her butt. Don'cha just love that man?I loved knowing that both of them were welcomed at Hogwarts for the play with James and Albus playing their roles. And the icing on the cake would have to be knowing they'd be back next year to see a new performance of Phantom of the Opera! Well done.I have been enthralled since I began reading the first chapter, and this Epilogue was as good as the preceding chapters. Congratulations on this achievement of epic proportions. It is an engrossing and entertaining a story, and I thank you for hanging in there and making our little corner of fandom a brighter, happier place.I thought you'd like to know that when I saved a copy of this story in Word, it ran to 916 pages... Times New Roman, 10 pt.These flowers are for you. 
Lots of hugs and good wishes to you and yours,Beth
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*sniffles* You have left me some of the most lovely reviews... thank you so much! *beams* Once I wrote the description of the wedding party, I had a little fantasy of commisioning a fanartist to draw that scene... LOL I ended up having to split my Word docs into 7 parts, since once they got too long, it became unwieldy to find stuff in them. *snerk* But, I used Arial 12 point, so there were even more pages! Thank you for your continued support all this time! :)
The dialogue rang very true in this chapter. And, of course, Hermione's curiosity would get the better of her and make her want to be a fly on the wall, or a concealed person behind the couch in this case. Looking forward to more!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*squee* It makes me so happy that you thought the dialogue rang true. *beams* Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for reviewing :)
What a chapter! Hermione's parent's reaction was pretty much what I would have expected, and in view of Dione's earlier liking of the Potions master, I wasn't at all surprised that she was the one to adopt a more accepting position of their daughter's news. The whole scene rang true! I'm really looking forward to your next update. Well done!

Oh my. I will say this for sure: you do not disappoint. Hot and hotter and hotter yet. Now excuse me...my toes have been curled for so long, they have cramped. Though I don't really mind. ;)
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL!!! I hope your toes go back to normal. *snerk* Yeah, This load of hot may have to last for a while, so stock up. :) Thanks so much for reviewing, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
what a satisfying ending! thanks so much for all your hard work and for sharing your time talent and vision. mega mucho smoochies! (ps, has it really been six years?)
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*bounces* Yay! I'm glad it was satisfying, after such a long build-up. LOL And yes, I joined the Ashwinder site on June 30, 2004, and posted the first chapter there on August 5th, 2004. *the mind boggles* ;) Thanks for your continued support all this time! :)

This is a beatiful ending that really took this story back to its roots. I really loved reading it. The wedding vows were perfect for our favorite couple.Congratulations of finishing this epic piece. We may have disagreed on some of the turns but the journey was well worth it.Well done!
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
I tried my best to have it come full circle, referencing important things sprinkled throughout the whole story, so I'm glad it seems to have worked! LOL Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
Wow, this epilogue is fantastic. I really fit into the story. I am glad that Severus was able to finally go back to the school to at least see the performances. Thank you so much for taking the journey and bringing us readers along.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*blush* Aww, I'm glad you liked the ending too. Thanks so much for reviewing! :)
This has been a wonderful journey, and as much as I loved the happy ending, I do feel a bit sad that the journey is over. Then again, I will now have the pleassure of starting to read the whole story all over again, it has been a few years since I read the first chapters:-))Take great pride in a job well done, I hope we will enjoy many other stories from your hand and mind.
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*blush* I'm so glad you've enjoyed this epic journey. I know I'm gonna feel a bit lost when it all sinks in that I'm done! LOL I hope the reread goes a bit smoother, as I edited and reuploaded everything right before I finished it. Thank you so much for your continued support all this time! :)
I loved it! Especially since Phantom is one of my favorite plays! This was a whopper of a story, but it wasn't boring at all! From beginning to end, it was exciting and hot! It's a shame that they decided against kids. Each his own I guess. At least they have their godchildren to spoil! I will definetly be looking out for your next story!Grace
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
LOL "A whopper of a story"--you said it! ;) I'm glad you enjoyed it, even though they didn't have kids (my agenda there, sorry). And thank you so much for such a lovely review! :)
'The silence following their recitation was profound ...' and your readers shed a tear or two! Silly me, it took me a line or two to realize what they were quoting, and then I got all choked up over it. It was perfect. Your story was perfect and I thank you for your dedication to writing and finishing it. It's been a joy to read. 
Response from Good_Witch (Author of Phantom of Hogwarts)
*blush* Aww, now you're gonna make me cry! LOL :D I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that the ending worked. Thank you for your continued support all this time! :)
