He is a slick bastard, isn't he?  Good though that he didn't apologize for the kind of man he was just that she was treated like shite.WWSD?We shall soon find out.  Thanks for reading and reviewing.

You think?  In my head Severus is a winner everytime.  :D  We appreciate your review.

He does have many resources at his disposal. Thanks for R&R.

Actually, I was referring to his nature.  He throws money at everything else to get his way such as the Ministry.  He has a habit fo buying his way out of trouble.

We certainly hope so.  :)

Soon!

Now we cannot in good conscience give away our story, now can we.  :)Thanks for your review.

We had soooooo many of these ideas when we wrote the original, but the two-day time limit didn't allow much room to elaborate. We are attempting to rectify that now.Thank you for your kind praise. We can only hope you continue to enjoy the story.
