I'm feeling like Nicoletta awaiting the answer to her father's decision!  Shame on you!!  Just kidding!  ;-D  I'm thinking that since she's such a neat kid, she'll end up winning the other adults over.  Maybe the Weasley kids will be better people than their parents.  Great chapter.

Well, now, things should start to get interesting!Nice update.Thanks for sharing.

Nice chapter - I like how the story is progressing!

Hmm. I wonder what the next day will bring, indeed! And I'm really liking this story.

what will Harry and Ron think about Severus teaching their children? No doubt they will have an opinion.

Some of your dialogue is a bit stilted and in other places it sounds natural.  Other than that, I'm enjoying this very much and looking forward to more.  I wonder if by chance Ron and/or Harry will be teaching there too?   Thanks for writing!

I'm so glad that the news was a new baby.  pft on Harry and Ron for snubbing Hermione!

This is quite interesting. 

Very interesting. I am anxious to see what the next day does bring! 

Great update!

Good chapter, I think it's interesting that Severus will be teaching again.  That is a plot bunny to run with.

I'm so hooked on this! Bravo, mystery author!

Ooh, evil cliffie! :) I hope the kids can look past or ignore their parents' wishes and be friends. I hope Nicoletta is in a house with at least a few of her new friends, and not isolated. Look forward to more!

Nice set-up! I like Nicoletta - very much her parents' child! :D

Oh about war and stuff so she won't get a distorted version of it from strangers?I love that you called one of them Emily. I can't remember if it's a JKR-given name or not, but I've always liked the name. I'm not sure why but it's always one I turn to when naming children in fandom, even if I don't use it on paper it's in my head.I suppose Hermione ran into Harry & Co. then? And from the looks of it, it went badly.

Looking forward to seeing Ron / Harry acknowledge Hermione, punks!

take that, you swinsh ginger-haired louse!!  great update.  thanks and mucho smoochies

Ron!  Of all the Aurors in all the Ministry, it had to be Ron?This is worse than an evil cliffie!

Oh, evil cliffie!Off to read next chappie.Wonder who the evil-doer is?  Malfoy?

Just found the story tonight and read straight through. I like how all the kids are becoming friends. It's great James stood up for Nicolette. Even though a lot of people are separated from their spouse due to military commitments, work, etc., I hope Hermione will be able to live at Hogwarts with Severus. Can't wait to see the next chapter. Great job.

It's been awhile. I wanted to ask if you were going to finish it! It's a great story, and it would be ashame if it were abandoned!

Oh dear... well, at least she's still alive!Severus took Nicoletta's sorting well - that was good to see. And it was great to see her new friends sticking up for her already.

Well now that was a shocker...who did it? And what will Nicoletta do now that she knows a little bit more about her parents? Update soon!

oh my gosh!  evil cliffie alert!  great update, thanks

Oh noes!!!!! Who did it!!?? WHY!!??! I'll be anxiously waiting to find out!!
