You are positively evil,oman... LOL. Love the story so far, keep up the great work! P.S. - i wonder if I'm the only one who's kept tabs on the meaning of the dreams and such.
Author's Response: I sure hope people are paying attention. There is a point to the dreams, visions, the book...etc. I am pleased to know that you are following along. Thank you so very much for taking the time to review.###Liz |

God, I hate Malfoy. I'm glad she slapped him. Snape's a horror, but still fascinating. I must admit, I don't know what the difference is between a witch and a sorceress. If you explained it, I must have managed to miss it. Nice use of incantations.
Author's Response: Oh well...I think I explain it in later chapters. It is my version of magical lore and is probably completely wrong, but it is my story so I can make up whatever I want :) Basically a Sorceress does not need a wand to do magic like witched do. Just a way to make Ellie powerful and free of a wand. And something else that will be explained later. So I am glad that you like it so far. I shall hear from you soon, I hope###Liz |

Excellent opening chapter. I love the way you transition between the past and the present. Your writing flows very well, and another fine introductory poem.
Author's Response: Thank you. That will probably be the only poetry in the story, except in chapter 20 or so, but this story has a very diffferent feel to it. This story has many past/present transition scenes. I hope you enjoy them. I loved writing about Snape and Ellie when they were students.###Liz |

1). I never worry too much about canon, because face it, this is fiction. It's your story, so tell it how you want it. 2). WHERE THE HELL IS MY SEVERUS? 3). I'm so hooked on this story... and you make it so compelling.
~Lisa
Author's Response: 1) I am glad someone said it. Some people get very mad about deviations from canon. Why? Isn't that the whole point? 2) Severus is...you will have to wait. 3) I am happy that you are hooked. 4) Sorry I took so ling to respond. I was out of town this weekend. Thank you...updates will follow shortly. ;) Liz |

No! Not angst! This is going great, can't wait to see it continue.
~Lisa
Author's Response: A little dash of angst never killed anyone. If it makes you feel better, know that things will improve again...for a time.
Author's Response: Oh I have been meaniing to ask you something...Did you see the odd little limerick in the beginning of chapter 10? Just curious. ;) Liz |

You diverge from canon in the sense that you treat the conflict between Snape and James too lightly. (Plot point why didn't Snape contact Ellie through the diary to verify she wanted to meet him at the Whomping willow?) What about Snape's worst memory? Although your story is about Snape and Ellie, you might be shortchanging it by not giving James the attention he deserves-that is he was once a git but redeemed himself. The story of James and Lily could be related to yours. I had no real problem with Ellie telling a lie to prevent Severus from being expelled or their subsequent rendezvous in the dungeons. The inherent "sappiness" is actually natural to the story.
Author's Response: Point taken. We all know how nasty James and his lot were to Snape. There is no good answer as to why Snape didn't write to Ellie and ask her about it. Perhaps, Black was taunting him...maybe Snape was just being careless...maybe Snape was distracted...I know how stupid people can be when they are infatuated, maybe that was it.
This is only a fantasy based on the marvelous works of another...it is falwed, but hopeful likeable and entertaining.
Thanks for reviewing and giving your honest opinions :) Liz
Author's Response: I hope it doesn't freak you out that I keep responding so quickly. I hust happen to be editing chapter 16 right now, and I do so love getting reviews!!! |

One thing you do well is portray Snape as a mixture of someone who cares and a jealous git. I suspect that just before she left she must have promised Snape something that she could not fulfill making it more difficult for him to trust anyone.
Author's Response: :) She zonked him, all right...but it is not what it seems!!! |

I do wonder what she sees in Snape. I mean he is somewhat of a coward isn't he. As a Hogwarts student he obviously liked her but lets Malfoy run his life. Wouldn't she wonder about his motives now that they all know she is a sorcessress? How does she know that he likes her for herself and not her power? Still a good mystery
Author's Response: Tricky, isn't it? Power in all it's glory...heh? I always thought Snape was a bit of a prick for not admitting his feelings for Ellie before he found out she wasn't a Mudblood. Remeber that at the time having feelings for such a girl could be dangerous...even scandalous. I think his feelings for her border on obsession but she feels the same way. |
