kinda quick with getting married but I think it suits these two well. I'm so happy! :) Can't wait for the next saga!

Author's Response: Thanks! I will start publishing the second part now!

 Report Review

Nice work, but too little Snape/Celena moments in it...hoping for more :D

Author's Response: I hope the next chapter will reward you. :)

 Report Review

Great chapter again! Already looking forward to part 2!

Author's Response: Only one more chapter left to this part...

 Report Review

Oh, I hope that Snape will get to the point of telling Celena how he feels...the story only has a few chapters left, so I hope some romance lies ahead of us :) and he's trying to protect her :))) very cute!

I wrote you an e-mail and I hope you got it!

Author's Response: Oh yes, don't worry, the last chapter is very romantically intense, and all that has been brewing up under the surface between those two finally comes out.



 Report Review

I can't believe there are only 2 chapters left! Finally Snape is having to face his feelings, now if he'd just man up! What is with Demona? I can't wait to find out about her link to Snape and the Death Eaters.

Author's Response: I'm afraid that you'll have to wait for the sequel to find out about Demona. It's practically completed though. Thanks for reviewing!

I'm sorry I didn't review earlier but I had a terrible headache today and couldn't even finish reading last time I tried...

Once again you have introduced a turn of events. I like how you always add new components (like Snape being followed) into the story. That keeps it fresh and surprising!

The awkwardness between Snape and Celena is cute but I think it won't last long. They'll hopefully be making up soon... Fleur will see to it I guess :)

I'm utterly sorry but I couldn't find your gmail account. I'm not even sure I understood the directions how to find it correctly. Maybe you could try to give me another hint? I'm sorry for not getting the last one ;)

As always I hope that there is more to come soon! Lovely chapter!

Author's Response: Obviously, they will have to come to terms with what is happening between them soon, because there are only 3 more chapters left!

My gmail account is fanfictionspaceATgmailDOTcom. I can't write it the normal way because it's not allowed in review threads.

Another great chapter! I do what to mention what a great job I think you are doing with Fluer's dialogue. The broken English/ French is done well and she quite frankly cracks me up! I love her.

Author's Response: I adore Fleur too, because she treads the thin line of being cute and girlish, but not vain and silly as she appears at first.

 Report Review

Oh Dennis is so cute in is protective-affectionate way towards Celena :D I bet he's going to try soemthing stupid and "protect" Celena from Snape...not that had any chance of succeeding, but he would certainly try, wouldn't he?

I'm glad this update came so fast, this story really has me hooked and the awkwardness between Snape and Celena is just funny :) I wonder what McDonovan was trying to get from the forest or the castle...there must have been some reason for him to come there.

I'm glad you want to take me up on my beta reading offer. Are you registered on the forums? I'm not really into leaving my personal e-mail address in a review threat where everyone can see it, so I suggest you send me a personal message on the forums. They are are very easily accessible and my penname there is sarina, too.

I'm already waiting for the next chapter and speculating about what is going to happen!!!

Author's Response: Thank you for leaving such long, detailed reviews! I loved the awkwardness between them too, it was so much fun to write, watch for more of it in the next chapter.

I tried registering on the forums but it didn't work out for some reason. I might try again, but in the meantime, I have a gmail account as fanfictionspace so you can email me there.

In reference to my last review I was referring to Snape and Celena kissing! :).

This chapter adds more mystery! However I am anxious to read what these 2 will say to each other when they are alone after the kiss.

Author's Response: You will soon find out, as there are only 25 chapters!

 Report Review

So we finally got some romance from these two :)

I already expected that because I saw that you had updated the warnings for this story. The kiss in itself came so fast I didn't realize it before it was over...and Celena's reaction of running away is going to provide loads of drama, right? There will be the awkwardness when they meet again, Snape's hurt about Celena's obvious resentment of that kiss because he thinks that's the reason she fled...

About the Elder Wand, did you rewrite the passage where it is mentioned after Deathly Hallows to include it?

Lastly, I wanted to ask whether you would like a beta reader for your story. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your English, but you have a grammar mistake every now and then. In case you would like a beta reader just contact me on the forums (my penname there is also sarina). In case you don't want a beta just ignore this part of my review ;)

I'm very happy you updated and I can't wait to read about the fallout of the events in this chapter!!!

Author's Response: Well, as we know Snape, he is not someone to get all wishy-washy; but even though I didn't write this moment from his perspective in a very detailed way, he is most certainly confused and caught off his guard with his feelings, which have been all bottled up for many years.

About the Elder Wand - yes, most certainly. It was one of the few minor changes I made to the story.

I think I will take you up on the beta reading offer, thanks. :)

 Report Review

FINALLY, it's about time!

Author's Response: I posted the chapter a week ago, but had to wait two rounds for validation because it was rejected for a technical reason at first. Next chapter awaiting validation.

 Report Review

Snape was secretly over joyed to help get rid of Timothy! Part Dryad! very cool indeed!and of course Snape knew, he's too smart for his own good sometimes.

Author's Response: Yes, Snape was of course glad to put Timothy in his place! Thanks!

 Report Review

A dryad? That's cool. I also thought of the Bowtruckle and the Beauty Balm incident...Before I read the last chapter I read the other review that had been left for it and so I realized there was something about Celena being part-human and soI dived into the chapter and was excited at the end what might be Celena's ancestry. I'm glad I know it now, it is a really great chapter again and I can't help but wonder whether Snape eavesdropped a little before bursting in on Celena and Timothy :D
A little disturbing though that Timothy came to see Celena. I guess there's some unknown thing why he married Alexa...maybe it's connected to Voldemort?
And of course Snape knows about Celena's secret.I think he has been doing some background check on her and Timothy, because he is not the kind of person to read the gossip column on the Daily Prophet for fun, is he?
I'm already waiting for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Timothy was never meant to play a huge part in the story, I mainly got him in as an example of arrogance and vanity. Celena always had misgivings about agreeing to marry him, which is partly why she bounced back so quickly.

Next chapter is going to be an exciting one! Thanks for sticking with Celena.

 Report Review

HAHA, I knew she was part dryad, after the hint that you gave me in your answer to my review. YESYESYESYES, I KNEW IT!

Hold for applause.

Sorry about that, couldn't help myself. Good chapter.

Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you're liking the story.

 Report Review

What's going on? I'm so anxious to find out! What is she, and why does she compare herself to Fleur?

Author's Response: Celena, like Fleur, is part-human - she has one non-human ancestor. There is a clue as to what she is in one of the first chapters. For more details, wait for the next chapter, which is currently awaiting validation.

 Report Review

Hmm, I guess Celena is some kind of flower person? It has got to do with the way the beauty balm worked on her, right? I already wondered about that back then...hope we will find out about that soon :)
Great chapter!!!

Author's Response: Yes, the Beauty Balm was a clue. Thanks for reading!

 Report Review

Mystery! Like Fleur humm.. Veela? Something else? I need to know! lol Have I told you I like this story?

Author's Response: Thanks! Nope, Celena is not part-Veela, that wouldn't have been very original! Keep reading.

 Report Review

Yay, so glad to read more :)
This is really, really cool and the story keeps getting better. I'm impressed how many details about Lily's and Snape's relationship you guessed! And you even thought of a very powerful wand like the Elder Wand...do you have a magical connection with JK Rowling? ;)
Waiting for more!!!

Author's Response: Thank you! I was really surprised myself, after reading DH. And don't forget the murder of Scrimgeour!

 Report Review

Dang it! Just when I thought Snape was going to act like a person! Very intresting twist with Merlin's ward, bravo once again.

Author's Response: After reading DH, I thought "I wish I had done a different plot than with a superpowerful wand", but I was too lazy to rewrite! Glad you like it anyway!

 Report Review

I'm always glad when you update! This chapter is really great, I love it. Celena was right about raising her wand, but of course she will have apologise and Snape is not going to make that easy for her *snickers* can't wait to read about it!

I also guessed that Snape had something going on with Lily before DH came out. I told a friend about my idea and she didn't buy it, but DH proved me right. I mean, Snape had to be a good one, because he had a lot of opportunities to kill Harry and he never took them. Plus he saved Harry in his first year. Plus a million other reasons. Besides I wondered whether we were ever going to get the rest of the memory where James tried to undress him. It was clear that there was a part of the memory that came after that and Snape was really,really,really furious about Harry seeing it and didn't want him to see the end of it. Aw, in some way we all love Snape, don't we?
And your story is great, so I hope the queue stays as short as it currently is so we get a new chapter by tomorrow!

Author's Response: Thanks, I'm glad you liked this chapter, it's one of my favorites!

I knew there was a lot more about Snape that we didn't know at the end of HBP, when he killed Dumbledore. Something about it just didn't make sense, I knew there had to be some sort of plan and then I started writing this story.

 Report Review

I am so glad I found this story! Updated so fast too! I'm giddy with excitement.

Author's Response: Thanks! The novel is actually completed, and I'm working on two sequels.

 Report Review

I wanted to make sure to comment about the dance scene between Snape and Celena it was just great! I loved it, so awsome!

Author's Response: Thank you! It's one of my favorite scenes in this novel.

 Report Review

This is good! Great plot thus far. Can't wait to sww what comes about the picture that fell out of Snape's desk.

Author's Response: Thank you! Keep reading - Celena will find out more about that old photograph in the chapter after next.

 Report Review

Oh, Snape's always so furious when somebody gets into his personal life...but I would definitely like to see him diving for something :D might be funny.
I hope Celena won't have to pay a price for seeing that. Plus, I wonder what Mr Creevey is going to think of to get Celena's attention back...

Author's Response: Just a note: the enite novel was written well before the Deathly Hallows came out, and only slight changes were made later, so this particular plotline (Snape/Lily) is less of a revelation, but I was rather proud of myself for guessing correctly (like many others, haha :D)

 Report Review

Ah, I wonder what Snape told McGonagall.Certainly he exaggerated and pretended Celena shouted the secret through the entire bar. I think he is envious of her and I really hope she will pay him back in due time. Harry always tod Hermione and Ron stuff about the order and nobody was angry about that (except for Snape maybe :D)...Can't wait to see with anger and give Snape hell when she gets the chance. She should really join the Order, she would be a great help and if I were inher place I would be curious, too. Besides she has had a lot to take recently and it's time something good happened to her. You really write Snape in character, he is all his cunning self! But I think Celena is strong enough to handle him...
Anyway I'm all excited for the next chapter!

Author's Response: In the next chapters, Celena will start discovering the human side of Snape, which will make her perhaps even more curious than what the Order is up to. Part of Snape's antagonism towards her is definitely because he holds a grudge against how easily she stepped into his shoes as the Potions teacher, with how little experience she has.
