Thanks again. It would be nice to think we had an excuse for buying useless soveniers. LOL.

Thank you! I've had a lot of compliments on the idea of jewelry portkeys.

Thanks. I always notice when authors describe such details, so I wanted to do the same.

Yes, Severus is up to a bit of spying. It's reluctantly though. Thanks again for your comments.

Thanks. My biggest self-critism of this story was that it lacked the depth I would have like it to have. So your comment means a lot.

Thanks again. I do think Walt Disney makes a perfect wizard. He certainly brought a lot of magic to life for us muggles.

Yes indeed!

Thanks. Yes, Hermione was quite proud to get one up on Snape.

Thank you yet again. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you. I had another reader object to the idea as elitist, seeing as advance quidditch training would create yet another area muggle borns would not have the opportunity to experience. To me it seemed like a good nitch for Ginny. Plus in my reading it seemed like most pure-bloods, or other kids growing up in the wizarding world, were supposed to be home schooled. If so it seems that pre-Hogwarts education/activities outside the home were few and far between.

Thanks. Any positive input on my writing style/stucture thrills me as a very novice writer.

I've been reading your comments as I go along and I noticed that your regret was this story wasn't as 'deep' as you wanted it to be.  Not all stories have to be 'deep' to be enjoyable, in fact, sometime I pick stories that are light and fluffy because they are so.  I take it this is your first story?  You did a great job.  My first was The Bridge, it was 513 agonizing words long.  I am now working on my first multi chapter story.  Just the fact that you wereconfident and skilled enough to do a long story first run out says a lot.  Don't be hard on yourself, this is a fine accomlishment. 

Awww, you've made my day again! Thanks for your words of encouragement.

Thank you for this and all your lovely reviews. I do agree about Hermione. It probably wasn't true to character, but it helped me establish her being in a bit of a personal life crisis and needing a change.

You are too kind with your compliments, but I'll take them anyway!

Thanks again. I always think Snape would be pretty awkward in such situations, and I can't imagine Hermione being too brave around him at first.

Thank you.

LOL! That was one of my favorite ideas for the story. Makes sense doesn't it?

Thanks! I did have fun with that and making Eisner an evil wizard. LOL.

Yes, it was his fault. Good thing he had some tricks up his sleeve.

That's cool you thought jewelry would make good portkeys. I don't think I had really thought it out until I needed a way for them to escape. Then it just seemed to work. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.
