I really did enjoy this fic. So what exactly is that stuff suppose to do?

Author's Response: hey!! glad you're liking this story, sooo, about that 'stuff' I assume you mean the glowy silver, blue and green liquid...I'm afraid I can't say now what they do per say....but know that everything about that hall and the room have some sort of significance in some way or another...the secrets of the hall will be revealed in time, 'fraid I can't say more than that now! :D thanks for reading and reviewing! 'tis always appreciated

love it!!:) update soon!!

Omg! How the hell does everyone theorize that Snape had to kill dumbledore? That hadn't occured to me and I'm on the internet looking at blogs where people say they're not surprised at all about Lily's and his friendships.

Author's Response: Well, for me it was a refusal to believe he was truly bad. But if you're still reading...most of Hermione's theories in the next few parts are basically where my thinking came from. And as for him and Lily I hadn't thought about until I saw a predictions for DH quiz somewhere and one of the questions was Who was the boy that Petunia was taking about with the coming home with frogspawn after she met him. The choices were Snape, Lupin, James, or Sirius...technically everyone assumed it was James and after she started school but the book didn't say she was already at Hogwarts and James was Pureblood...Snape on the other hand was halfblood and Spinner's end is in a muggle neighborhood.

Heyy: I just have 1 last que'stion for you. Are you finished with this story?

Author's Response: Feel free to ask any questions you want...it means someone is reading and I assume enjoying it. I had almost no feedback for the fist 12 or so parts, it was rather depressing. But to answer your question, no I'm not finished. It'll be 30 parts (or 29 and an epilogue technically) so I'm close and the entire thing is obsessively outlined. My goal (and I've been doing a decent job of it recently) is to post at least one part a week. However I am occasionally slow to post here, but it's always up as soon as it's finished in my fic Journal (http://shannons_fic.livejournal.com. And thanks for reading this, it's my first longer attempt at this pairing.

I really do truly praise your writing ability and editors and know that I don't usually say this lightly. It could use some other aspects of help, but your descriptions are quite accurate and SAFE if you know what I mean. Lol. I've noticed you've written the story (well at least the first chapter) in dialog form or whatever it's called. Lol.

sweetness!!! ha!!!

Ok wow like I've just noticed most of these stories were centered around Hermione and Snape and how she greatly admires him. What I really wanna know is first, how do people, so many people scheme them in love and to narrow the topic, why she's looking so forward to talking to Snape.

Author's Response: Hi missvelachik, thanks for stopping by to read and review. Personally, I like Hermione/Snape because they are well suited to each other. I think they can relate on many more levels than Hermione could with Ron. If you find you like the pairing, you'll have tocheck out more stories to see how people have fun bringing them together. It often seems to be a relationship that grows out of first: tolerance and then: respect. Anyway, in my story, Hermione thinks she just respects Snape for all he did for the cause, then she finds out he will be her mentor, and that excites her for a couple reasons. On the surface, it is because of the intellectual gratification. As she'll realize soon enough, she's drawn to him for a lot more? Thanks again for reviewing. I hope you continue to enjoy the story =)

I can't believe that everyone was against Hermione when she broke things off with Ron and since when does everyone start calling her Mione in their fics? I've noticed it in several.

Author's Response: Yes, Ron, Harry, and Ginny were all upset. Ron?understandably so. Harry, as we'll see more later, is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to postwar life. Right now he thinks that everything should be happy and perfect now the war is over. He lost so much that anything that does make him happy, he wants to hold onto it. Like the friendships between himself, Ron, and Hermione. The trio. If anything threatened that, it would shake him up a bit. And Ginny's just being the protective sister (of any of them she has the worst reason for being mad if I do say so myself!).

I'm not sure how long the 'Mione thing has been around. I used it there because it is common in general for people who are close or intimate to shorten a name or call them by a nickname. You'll see other fics that have developed *fanon* nicknames for characters. I thought it would be appropriate for Ron to call Hermione that. However, I guarantee you that Severus Snape will not be using "Mione" whatsoever! =)

Yes, I think there should be a sequel and I can't believe you wrote in Snape's character to reveal so much of his past. It is extremely unusual, you know.

Author's Response: Thanks, and there still might be. I want to finish the other fic first...or I've been threatened by someone that she'll fly here to beat the crap out of me if I start any more projects before finishing the ones I have, would be more accurate. And yeah, I do realize it was unusual.

Ew and you never finished the story? So not cool. Jk, lol.

Author's Response: hey! no worries no worries, this story will DEFINATELY be finished...perhaps somewhat slowly, but completed nonetheless. anyways, thanks for the review(s)!! :D

Ok so what exactly is your user name on fanfiction? It'll be a lot easier for me to find that way.

Author's Response: it's Moonlight Shadows and my username is liveforthedream.
Enjoy!

I do like this fic you have written from Snape's point of view. I am working on a story, but I can't copy it somehow. Keep writing other stories!!!

Hmm I would be able to give a better opinion without theorizing on how this is going to end up based on the disclaimer.
