The plot thickens... First time reader!   Great read up to this point.  Looking forward to the next chapter.  Cheers!

I'm glad that James was nice to Nicoletta. 

Nice to see James sticking up for Nicoletta.

ohh what will happen?  i look forward to more.  thanks

I was really hoping to hear more about Hermione's condition.  All well, such is life.  I thought it was a cute touch to have his daughter think he was upset about her House.  Most little girls want to please their daddies so it fit really well.

Evil cliffie!!!  I'm betting that little girl will remember those cards and have some difficult questions.  Very enjoyable.

Now while that was an interesting piece of information, I guess I have to prepare some Howlers right now! I want to know what happened to Hermione and the baby!

Oh, my goodness!!  Now, that's a cliffhanger!  I can't wait to read more.

Nooo! You are evil x2! Who attacked Hermione and why? Whuch house will Nicoletta be in and how will her new friends react now they know who she is?!

Let me join my voice to the chorus of "EVIL CLIFFIE!"I certainly hope you'll be updating soon. We don't know who you are now, but keep in mind that we will!

Not one evil cliffie - but two! How could you!! You must update so we can know which house Nicholetta is in and who attacked Hermione!!!

I can't wait to learn what the other kids think of her now that they know she's a Snape. What did their parents say to them about Hermione?And what in the world happened to Hermione? It must be a wizard/witch in her home, right? How could a Muggle break into something warded. Hmmm. Looking forward to seeing what the heck happened. Definitely not good for a pregnant woman to be bleeding, near death, on the floor.

OMG! I hate cliffhangers! Please hurry back and let us know what happened! That attack came out of left field, I can't even begin to think who could have done it and why! I hope she didn't lose the baby!Grace

Oh my God!What was this, who harmed Hermione and why? What about the baby?Was the attack planned, did the culprit know Hermione would be alone?What about poor Crooks, hopefully someone will remember to pick him up before he starves.What house will Nicoletta be sorted into, and how will the other students react now that they know she is a Snape?Please hurry update, you can't leave us in agony for long, leaving cliffhangers like this!!!!

good cliffie!  a nice mystery to add to your tale.  I am enjoying this.  I'm glad you decided to take up this challenge.  It seemed so unlikely to me, but you didn't let that stop you!  I guess you're braver than I.

Oh no, this is horrible! I hope she will not lose the baby - although it seems hardly possible. Please update soon!

OH, MY GOD!!  That is an EVIL place to stop!  EVIL!!!  Who came in?  Why did they hurt her?  Will the baby be OK? 

OMG!  What a cliffhanger!  How horrible - I hope you don't leave us hanging for long!  Great chapter though!

Evil Cliffie.  Anyway, I am enjoying this story, and I can't wait to see where you take it. 

Who has attacked Hermione, and why? Mysterious author, you are getting mysteriouser!

This was great!

I wanted to wait to see how things were going and I have to say I am hooked. You have built up a couple of mysterious events and the relationships between the kids are also intriguing. I usually don't like to read about kids, but this stuff has the whole gamut of adult and children's issues. I am looking forward to  reading more!Livvy

No offense but there are times when I really hate cliffhangers.  Please update soon.

Uh oh! A properly evil cliffie. This doesn't sound good for Hermione.Looking forward to more!

Oh now that wasn't very nice.  ;)
