abuseThis story, in a way, gives off a rather "Disney" aura, what with the silly little snakes and "Griff-Gruff" the Griffin. The humor too, is alike.

abuseLoved it!The two snakes were AWESOME. Loved how you put in their dialouge even at the serious bits in the story XD
Really hope you write a sequel! Is Hermione preggers? Is Harry evil? Do snippy and snarky get to eat alot of food? So many questions! There must be a sequel!
Well done, excellent writing!

abusezomg, what a fantastic story! squee! Draco and Harry are adorable, though I have to say I've never seen Harry as anything NEAR dark. His sense of right and wrong, good and evil, others versus himself is way too strong. Just wanted to say that you are an AMAZING writer, I couldn't stop reading the second I started. Thank you SO much for making my day!

abuse"Could be the most evil wizard pair since Grindelwald and Dumbledore surfaced as Symmetrius"

Gotta say that that line made my absolute LIFE. I LOVELOVELOVE that line.

Awesome fic, fantastically evocative and whilst the idea of Hermione and Severus isn't one I'm all too keen on, I've gotta say you've managed to sway me! Lovely writing overall, although the lack of breaker-lines is somewhat unnerving. Also, some of the paragraphs are a bit too big which makes for harder reading and detracts from the overall genius that is your story.

There's a bit more I should say, but, it can all be summed down to: This is one supercool story!

Love Eti.

abuse...That was both disturbing and entertaining. Hermione and Snape are of course having a lot of hiccups in their relationship. ^>^

Once again, a thorough review is in order.

abuse"They had both aged twenty years in about as many minutes." That is a very nice line. ^>^

Aww, that kiss was way too short.

I suggest that you check this chapter over for typos, along with all the other things I've mentioned. ^>^

abuseYour first two paragraphs are built with only one sentence structure. It makes it quite awkward. I would recommend some compound sentences, the use of a semicolon, and possibly the long dash.

'Your': possessive of 'you'. 'You're': you are.

'Waved': to move something about, usually in an airy fashion. 'Waive': to dismiss. This is a legal term.

'Site': a physical place, a location. 'Sight': the ability to see. Also, can mean something startling that one sees (What a sight he was...).

Okay, here's the deal with lay/laid/lain/lie:
There are three verbs that people confuse a lot. First, there is the verb 'to lie' (as in, to lie down. It doesn't help any that there's the 'to lie' that means to not tell the truth... but that's a different verb, too.). The verb 'to lie' (down) is conjugated in all its forms at the following page: http://conj./conjugation-english-verb-lie.html

The verb 'to lay' is a verb meaning to drop or put down. A hen lays eggs. I lay things out on the table. It is conjugated in all its forms at the following page: /conjugation/english-verb/lay%20.aspx

Finally, the verb 'to lie', meaning to tell an untruth, is conjugated much like the first 'to lie', only the participle is 'lied' instead of 'lain'.

Watch out to keep your verb tense uniform. For example, you've written: "The house elves had already made his bed and took his laundry." You've got the verb 'had made' followed by 'took', which is a serious inconsistency, since the two actions presumably happened during a similar time frame. So it would be either: "The house elves had already made his bed and taken his laundry," or, "The house elves had already made his bed, and had taken his laundry," depending on whether the two actions were simultaneous or sequential, respectively. Personally, I find the former to be more fitting. It's up to you, though. ^>^

There are a few others, as well.

When writing ellipses (...), don't type spaces between the dots; your word processor should recognize it and space the periods out automatically--and that will keep you from getting that two-line effect where your ellipse gets separated onto two lines. It's one piece of punctuation, so it should stay together.

Anyhow, that's all for this chapter's lectures from me about grammar and such. Consider this a retroactive bit of advice for the last few chapters that I've reviewed without corrections or advice. Grammar, after all, applies everywhere. ^>^

All of that aside, nice chapter. I like the Hogwarts mascots. They provide a good amount of much-needed pandemonium. They're kind of like a substitute (for plot and purpose) for the Weasley twins. ^>^

abuseLoved every word of it, great job :) You are good, really good, I liked your characters :) I'm a bit sad about Sheldon and Rune, but sacrifices has to be made, and it's better to write off newbies than the old stuff :P

abuseYour dialogue got a little hard to follow when it was full of asides and commentary from the snakes...

Aside from that, amusing.
