omg that was so terrible of Ron!

OMG. that was awesome. your idea about the different styles of magic was amazing, really creative. and I like how the wizarding world was less tolerant of homosexuals than the muggle world; that is quite the opposite of how its usually portrayed and I think it made for a very interesting story. Poor Hermoine. thanks for writing.

Dear God. Stunningly evocative writing, concise, cutting, and poignant with a profound message for humanity while skirting the edges of pontifical. Oh, and the gloriously tragic, epic narrative, in which two enemies cross words only to fall in love and go up in flames at the stake to save the world.

"'You fear Muggles so much.'

'As individuals? No. But they, like the pureblooded elitists, are close-minded xenophobes who will destroy that which they do not understand. By the time they realize that we are merely human, we doubtless will be so few in number that we will disappear.'"

How chilling an observation Snape makes, one I wish JKR would have paid more attention to when the story was yet in her hands.

Your imagery...leaves me in small, hurting, laughing pieces. When Severus Snape's pointed, vicious tongue splatted wetly on the floor, I cracked up in mingled revulsion and surprise. My roommate told me I needed to get my head checked. I, however, just think you're brilliant.

The "ocean of love" deep in Snape's core is somehow not sappy and only too beautiful in its believability, an accomplishment not to be scoffed at given the cynicism in the rest of the story. I think it works precisely because your writing understands so well that Snape gives the impression of everything to the contrary. Snape is an aggregation of hatred and practicality and asperity and purpose, underscored with passion, ridged with implacability, and you've painted that to the letter. Against such a backdrop, that infinitesimal dollop of sweetness in him is strikingly real.

Oh, and Harry, so easily neglected and left in Snape's shadow. If I may make this guess, just judging by his characterization, I'd wager you think quite highly of him, find him as remarkable as Snape. Because "In Principia" has convinced me of that, and I do need convincing on that front.

I could go on and on because I've always been prone to gushing, but honestly? I have no idea why I love this story so much. It just found a place with me. Thanks for that. :)

O.O *Is lost for words*

this was a truly scary story, or the idea behind it. i loved that there is a logic to principia and how extreme it sounded.. i almost wish it were longer but the shortness actually is quite refreshing. its scary how people act when they are afraid.. funny how they are willing to be openminded about muggles, but not open minded on one of their own. i suppose its all about power. wizards know the muggles are weaker (or that they feel they are more superior) so they have nothing to fear but Principia(ns) are stronger so they have to fear them.

This story is so sad yet so perfect never should the world be so narrow minded ... it only goes to show even heros fall when minds are small

awh, thanks so sad. why do they have to die?

Oh, so dark-- intense-- I can't even decribe it. It's just that the Pricipia and Snape, and-- RON!?!?! *keels over and dies*

"...the only thing faggots are good for is burning"

*shudders* Scary...

Oh dear me, that was... That was amazing. It was extremely well-written, and vaguely haunting. Well done indeed.

I have never come across a story such as this before. How did the idea come to you? It is very well, not exactly for a story but for an idea. Thank you very much for writing. *bows*

Wow...This is the first fic that I've read with such extremes regarding preference in it. I have to say it was well-written but not entirely believable. I always figured that the only reason Wizards wouldn't like homosexuals was because they wouldn't produce children - something the wizarding world is in desperate need of. I also would never believe Ron capable of killing Harry like that - Snape, yes perhaps. But I would think he would be at least a little remorseful even if he thought it was necessary.

Anyway, it was a good and new outlook on this. That I've read insofar. I enjoyed it and I think is a wonderful example of how a one-shot should be written.

Take care and keep up the good work

Wow. This was too good. It kept me away from the bio essay I have to write, and now I'm all ready to go kill Ron and his homophobia. But seriously, this was brilliant. I'm not used to seeing good fanfic, but your writing was amazing. The only thing here I'd take issue with is... Harry/Snape? Argh! *brain melts* I mean, if you needed a slash pairing, why not Hermione/Ginny? xD fine, fine, I'll be quiet now (though I think HG/GW'd be awesome...) But, good work.

well..i'd say Ron was a SOB but i dont think that of molly so...

Ah ... lovely. Wonderfully done. Well written, interesting and clear. Well done.

wow... interesting. I liked it.. it was a twist on the cliched happily ever after... because there was no real ever after. It was a bit crude, but I liked it. It hit on the racial and discrimatorial tendancies of the world in a fine print sort of way.
