I love them just leaving like that. It was cool.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I'm glad you liked that. Thank you very much!
Okay, wait a minute I thought chocolate fed the muse. Now I am confused. What am I going to do with my stores of dark chocolate if it won't fee my muse? Well done as always, my friend.
Nice ending to a really nice story. I've enjoyed this very much.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I'm so happy you liked it! Thank you for your wonderful reviews!
lovely ending :)
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Thank you, I'm very happy you think so!
awesome! awesome :)
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
*blushes* Thank you!
I love the idea of a doberman sized bat.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
LOL. I guess it was unexpected - for me as well - but it seemed to work.Thank you for your review!
Doberman sized bat r o t f l!!At least he finally admitted his feelings - and she hers!Loved the escape and thankfully neither girl lost thier heads. I love how you are writing Luna and Hermione. Thumbs up!
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Aw, thank you, you made my day with your kind words!
You know if you keep mentioning chocolate I am going to have to send you some. Well done again my friend. Even though I did not get an update email.
Hmm a Bat does that mean his will look like a giant birds nest? Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
LOL! I had a care package from Germany and have been munching chocolate like crazy. No wonder I mention it at every opportunity.*snickers at the gian birds' nest*
I haven't been reviewing every chapter, but I will tell you that I have thoroughly enjoyed this story thus far. While most seem OOC - I love it! The friendship between Lucius and Severus and the burgeoning relationships with each of them and their respective witches...it's wonderful! I love stories where these "dark wizards" aren't so dark after all. :) Can't wait for your next update! :)
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!I don't know how much out of character it all is. The events take place after canon (aside from that epilogue that should never have been written), and I could imagine Lucius to have become a different person after realising that his son was more important than loyalty to Voldemort. And of course, as far as Severus is concerned, we know him mostly through the Harry filter.Of course, I can blame Lucius on everything - he was the one to whisper the plot to me as soon as I finished reading the prompt. :))Again, thank you for reviewing and for sharing your thoughts!
Very enjoyable story. a bat patronus? how funny. Especially when it is 'the size of a doberman.' I agree with Nightshift's previous review, it's great to see the ladies getting themselves out of a jam.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I'm so glad you still like it! Thank you for all your wonderful reviews!
Luna's alternate form is of limited use for the most part, but could be very useful in a few situations. I like the change in Patronus, and the fact that both girls used their intelligence and their initiative and thought their way out of the trap. Herr Rowle is doomed to be disappointed trying to trap them. However, Hermione is going to run out of money if she keeps having to replace wands.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I think no matter which form an Animagus takes, it will be limited.LOL@ Hermione running out of money. There's a reason why the Ministry pays its Unspeakables before they even start actual work. :-))Thank you for a lovely review.
So cute - he went searching for her... then told her to strip and go take a bath! Then offers to set a Tracking Charm on her... loved that. sneeky..
I can't imagine what Luna's Animagi form is - a whale? Wouldn't fit in the bathroom - destroy the tube yes, but would also knock down the walls too. A dolphin! That would be cool!
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
*grin* Well... if she'd died of pneumonia, there would've been a lot of explaining to do, lol.
*grins some more* The current chapter will tell all. What else can Luna be, though?
Thanks for your lovely review!
. . . Cliffies are evil, you know. I'm new to the story, but I've been reading as much as possible to catch up. I love your characterizations. Lucius is a little unbelievable, right now, but I hope you'll explain that eventually. You have wonderful alpha and beta readers, and the story is very interesting. I hope to see more soon!
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Cliffies are addictive. :-))
I'll admit I didn't take much time to explain Lucius' change of heart. I simply think that wars can change people, especially those who are "near the action" so to speak. I thought it was fairly clear in canon when he cared for his son more than he cared for his Lord that there is definitely potential for him.
Thank you very much for your review!
Response from kittykat91419 (Reviewer)
Hmm, I guess I thought Narcissa fit that description more clearly than Lucius. I admit I'm not a big fan of canon books 6 and 7, and I've read enough fanfic that I definitely have books I prefer over canon (yes, books, anything over 1000 pages is no longer deserving of the title just fanfic, especially when there are fewer grammatical and spelling errors than in the canon books). I should probably go read canon with more attention than "as fast as I possibly can."
I can't wait to read more! I'm sorry that I do not review as often as I would like to. More often than not I end up having to copy/paste fics into an e-mail and read them while I'm at work. I will say that I am very much enjoying this fic. I just have one question though. What is supposedly in the Ark that makes it so important to occultism? I have always been under the impression that its contents were limited to religious artifacts such as Moses's staff and the tablets the Commandments were written on. I know the plotline is based in history as I have read some about the Nazi's obsession with it so I am not questioning that. I just do not know the details on why they are wanting it so badly.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I love every single review and appreciate you taking the time to leave one!
Ah, the occultism of the Ark... *grins*
According to some, it contains occultum, aka white gold powder, which can do various things to one's inner knowledge. It is said to aid enlightenment.
I am absolutely tickled pink with your words, especially as lots of readers only saw the reference to the Indiana Jones movies (which I have yet to see). There is not an awful lot of information out there, and the majority of that is more likely speculation than actual information, but yeah, it has to do with the path to enlightenment and knowledge of all, which of course, would aid the nazis quest to take over the world.
Thank you for your review!
oooo another evil cliffy. Didn't I talk to you about these?What an intimate way for Severus to illude to Hermione that he is interested in her. For Severus Snape to allow one entry into his mind is indeed a high compliment. What must Hermion be feeling?Well DoneIrish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Umh *blushes* It's an addiction. ~nods~
I think Hermione felt somewhat confused, but overall, more like the queen of the universe. :-)
Thank you!
Now I am not sure about reiviews being better than Dark Chocolate. Where are your priorities woman! It is a refreshing change to find a story that allows for relaxed interaction between Hermione and Severus so often they spend all the time at each others throats or working up to the next conflict.Well DoneIrish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
Teehee, wait until you have a few chapters posted and then decide if chocolate is still better. :-))
I tend to shy away from conflict...
Thank you for your review!
Oh, my. Well, at least there was a bit of a plan.
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
LOL! I promise that everything will work out fine in the end!
Thank you for reviewing!
Oooo so Luna was right! Nazis are alive in Germany.I am really having a hard time picturing Ron with Milicent. Wasn't she a bit of a cow (literally).Well done my friend! Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
They are, even if some people deny it *snerk*. LOL
Very little is known about Millicent in canon. So she becomes another character we can run away with. That's actually a tempting thought...
Thank you for your review!
Severus knows her birthday? I find this very telling indeed. Oh and the poor girls what a shock they have had Professor Snape alive and well and as Snarky as ever. I am so glad that he has not lost his Snark! Well Done Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
I'd love to have played fly on the wall in that scene!
Oh, we can't do Snape without Snark, now, can we? :-))
Thanks for reviewing!
Okay, what is it with Herr what's his name? Is he a throw back to WWII? Why is it that the Ministry has chosen Malfoy of all people to keep tabs on the girls and why, for that matter, do they need to be looked after? You have given me more questions than answers, but I like it I like it! Well done again. Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
The war has changed many people, and the fact that Kingsley is now Minister has also helped. Lucius has his skills, be they for good or for bad, but finally he's applying them for the right side. :-)
Thanks for a lovely review!
Who's that knocking at the door? Also, just why is the Minister so interested in Hermione's path of study? I figured that she would be more suited to Advance Mathematics or History. Well done again! Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
All answers will be revealed shortly. :-)
I chose chemistry because I have no idea about mathematics, let alone advanced maths. And when I started to write, I wasn't quite sure how much detail I'd need for that. LOL
Thank you for your review!
Argh! I was right not a single update Notification and now I am many chapters behind. Can I trade places with Hermione, please? I want to go stufy in Germany. I still wonder what could the Minister be up to? A job that pays you to party? Well done my friend. Irish
Response from karelia (Author of No Music More Enchanting)
It should all work now (did you get notified about the next chapter? ;-) )
Wouldn't it be nice to study in Germany, with no care whether or not you pass or fail, with full salary... *sigh* LOL
Thanks for your luvverly review! ::hugs you::
Sorry, but I had to rush straight on to this chapter without reviewing the previous one. It's your own fault when you leave cliffhangers like that one. Now, are they going to get away with taking a night off for frivolity and alcohol, or is Rowle going to make them wish they'd stayed in the palace?
Whale? Walrus? I don't think either a dolphin or a porpoise would break the bath... I guess I'll have to wait and see when I come back from giving my eyes a rest.
Now, we know Hermione Transforms into a bird, but just what kind of bird is it, not a pigeon, I don't think or she'd have had no trouble being inconspicuous.
