You know, I have been a very bad reader. I've been reading your stories since about the middle of your 9 part series, and have yet to leave a review. I think that your stories a very entertaining. I really enjoy them. I'm glad that Hermione finally came around.

GO, ELI!!! HEHEHE, I love that Elf. So, are we going to see Harry's and Ron's reactions to Cassia??? Oh, and Molly's as well! that's gonna be priceless, I bet! I was kinda hoping Severus would have to donate blood or something to help Hermione's recovery, but it worked all right. Please continue!!

ch 38 - uh-oh, Hermione may not accept a proposal like that... not if she thinks he's just proposing out of duty or something. Good luck, Severus! Poor Eli, getting hit by Mrs Granger like that.

I really like this story, you have made Snape very realistic. I really like the way you have used the ancient gods in this one. I would really like it if at the end of the story you would jump forward a number of years and show us Snape and Cassia interacting as adults. I think she should be snarky like him! Keep up the great work.

Hi Ms Figg! Re: chp 29 and the pound notes. In the U.K. they still have paper money! But the smallest note (bill) is £5.Then it's 10, 20, 50, & 100. Though a £100 Note is something u wouldn't see 2 often. The U.K. coins are (p = pence and 100p ( pence) makes up 1 pound same as the U.S. dollar is made up with 100 cents) 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2. Love this tale can't wait 4 chp 40! Yippee only 4 days 2 go to HP and the OTP movie is released. Am soo excited! The previews and trailers look great!

The U.K. has paper money! But it has notes in £5, then 10 ,20 ,50 and £100. But it has all its smaller denominations in coinage including £1 and £2 coins. the Pound sterling is made up of 100 pence so the coins smaller than £1 are ,1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p (p= pence) Hope this helps! Can't wait 4 the next chapter! Only 4 days 2 go a Order of the Phoenix movie! Roll on 12th July! Am so looking forward 2 seeing it!

the best thing about not being at home is that I actually don't check 'the burning pen' at least 4-5 times a day and that when I log on, I actually have at least 4-5 chapter to read :)))) I knew that Hermione would wake up in the end, but I'm really glad that Severus didn't look like a 'love-struck fool' when he confessed his love... I guess we have to thank Eli for that :) and yeah... about the video I posted :) when I read hg/ss fanfics, I never see Emma in my mind, but it's not because I think it's inappropriate or smth... it's just that I have my own vision of her :) but I don't think I'll even hesitate if I have a chance to have sex with Alan Rickman... who cares that he's 42 years older than me :)

That was good, Jeremy and Ernie blaming it on the weed: "Because I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiigh!" Nice ending and I wouldn't have minded one bit if Eli had bitten Molly. What a bitch she was in this one! Great story- loved the end. :) LK

Great story! And you know the Molly scene was in character. You kow what HG tried to do (scARED OR not) was nasty. I hav sons and I'd be every bit as angry as Molly at a woman who tried to trick my son like that. Molly would also have suffered in th elong run once the truth came out. MW was just being protective. Love Eli!

There were parts with younger Hermione but I think that the choice of song and the way the clips were used with the artwork using a more mature Hermione made it less...how can I put this...disturbing. lol.

Welcome! Glad you liked it, I'm planning to do another HG/SS soon... but finding the right song is so hard. Female voices don't seem to work at all, and most male voices just don't seem right. David Gray is one of the few I've found so far that work. GooGoo Dolls and Nickelback work too, but there are already plenty of Iris and Far Away HG/SS videos.

Reviewer: Hi hon. I'm afraid I'm a bit off my game lately. Life has a way of sucking you dry sometimes, so I'm in a bit of a slump right now. I have to finish Sahara before I start on the next story, and the muse just doesn't want to come. :(( I've been spending the past few days editing and uploading stories to fanfiction.net just to do something writing-wise since my mind isn't focused enough to write. I'm waiting to see the doctor to see if my meds can be changed. I think they've lost their kick and as a result, so have I it seems. Problems I usually can deal with are weighing me down pretty roughly and I just have to go slow right now until I am in a better state of mind. But I'm about and as soon as I get my groove back I'll be churning them out again. ***

Absolutely brilliant story - enjoyed it very much. Thank you. Very emotional towards the end, it's not many books that get to touch me so deeply that I shed tears not just once but on several occasions. I got totally lost and caught up with the characters that I began to 'feel' like them. Very enjoyable and well written, also liked the bit of humor to balance things - I chuckled out loud. Thank you for a great story!

I absolutly love this story, the gods and goddesses, the Fates, Harry's bedwarmers, the whole nine yards. Poor Severus, he didn't stand a chance, but it was great entertainment watching him fight the inevitable. That little Eli, he's just full of surprises. Thank you again for the entertainment.
