Well, its taken me a while, but I finally finished it. I am SO sad to see it end. You are a wonderful writer, and I hope that you continue writing (About Severus!!).

I can't wait to find out: 1) what happens to Albus and his ghost? 2) Will Voldie escape? 3) Will Voldie finally die? 4) What about Ima and her followers? 4) Will Hermione and Severus have fun in Chicago and will Severus have to wear Muggle clothes to the Museum of Science and industry? 5) Will they marry? 6)Will they have a baby that steals Voldie's magic or will Voldie possess the Snape's child?

Personally, I think they will have a love child way before they had planned to have one.

Please hurry up and write a new chapter. Feel free to make it many more chapters as you have so many ends to tie up.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Spicy (who wishes she were one tenth as good a writer as you)

i have barely scratched the surface of this story, and am greatly looking forward to the rest of it, but i wanted to stop here and drop you a quick line or two. i realize that it has been over three years since you posted this chapter after the death of your father, but i wanted to extend my deepest condolences to you in your loss. i am truly sorry for your loss, and i hope that the past few years have eased your heart.
this is an excellent story, and i love the thought you put into the character development, as well as the incorporation of "muggle" aspects. i am astounded by the amount of effort you have put into this work of art, and i am looking forward to continuing this fantastic journey!

It's ok. We forgive you. ;)

I just finished the last posted chapter and absolutely loved this story. This is the first Harry Potter fanfiction that I have ever read and I am now hooked! I love SS and HG together. I look forward to the time when you will be able to return to this story.

Well I just thought I'd put my input in even and say while I still love your story (Im really on ch.50), I think the 3rd person point of view was better. But thats just my opinion and in general I like reading stories from 3rd person mostly anyway. For some reason... 1st person point of views bug me... I think it reminds me of a diary too much. haha ^^'But other then the sad switch to 1st person your story is great so far and I love your Severus! :) And I really liked thw slow development of the relationship between Severus and Hermione.

Okay, i know I'm pretty hypocritical for asking since I'm horrible about taking forever to update my stuff but...

are you going to keep going? Please say yes. I can wait patiently but I just wanted to know that you were going to continue.

I have to say that this story is truly phenomal. I eagerly look forward to the day when you can update this. I understand your inability to write lightness and fluff when real life is anytthing but. Writers of your caliber are an inspiration for the rest of us wannabe's. A very big Thank You! to you, and to those whom have collaborated with you in the engineering of this amazing story.

Hi-- I'm one of your faithful readers that has been keeping up with this story since nearly the beginning. I recently stumbled across it in my bookmarks link, and started wondering why it hadn't been updated in nearly a year, when I saw your profile. I just wanted to say that I am so sorry for your loss, and I hope you and your family will be able to make it through this.

Obviously fanfiction comes far behind real life, but whenever your muse for this story returns, whether in another year or more, there's a lot of your loyal readers out here that will wait patiently for whenever that day arrives.

Hello,

I have been slowly reading through your story and it is WONDERFUL. I realize when you were writing this you were a firsttime writer but it is GREAT! Your Severus is very lovable. maybe not as snarky as some, but I like to read the different interpretations on FF of Severus and how each writer finds a different twist. Yours is VERY attractive to me! You have a fine talent. I am on Ch 50 now and have a long way to go but I hope you continue it eventually. Best of luck!

Hello Hypnobarb,

I've just finished reading 115 chapters of Looking for Magic. It took me a good few months, but I'm so glad I did. It really is one of the best books (if that's the right word) I've ever read. I'm very sorry to read about your sister, but hopefully in the future you'll be able to return to this story. I'll certainly be waiting for you when you do.

Thanks for all the time and effort you put into this,
Lauren

I absolutely adore this story, in fact, I just went back and re read the entire thing (instead of doing trivial things like eat and sleep) I can't wait for the next chapter, hope it comes out soon, I need to know how it ends!

I just finished reading this story...it took me about a month, but I have really enjoyed it :) I'm sorry about your loss and I won't pressure you to write again. But I do hope that you will find the motivation to write sometime in the future and finish this great story! You have a wonderful fan-base that will welcome you back with open arms :)

I was wondering if you were going to update soon or at all. This is my favorite fanfic to read. I have been following this story for three years.

I haven't felt the need to review every chapter. I've actually finished through chapter 115. I did review that and then I read your Personal Information. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and I hope that you are beginning to feel a sort of healing and feel at peace. There is obviously nothing that you can do to rush the tide of emotions that comes with the death of a loved one. Especially with one that is as trying as Leukemia. I hope you are well. Good luck.

This has been a long ride so far. I have really enjoyed it. Wow, 115 chapters and more to come. I do hope that you plan on finishing this WIP. I noticed it hasn't been updated since January. Hope to see an update soon. Thanks for sharing your talent.
