6 chapters all at once and the 7th the next day--I'm being spoiled this way. So please, more, more! And soon, soon!

Developing very well - although from a plotting point of view imo it would have been better to itnroduce this society briefly earlier in the story, and have its significance become appaerent later.

But hey, if JK can leave introducing the Hallows until the final book...

Well, well, where to from here? And whose handwriting is so familiar? Quite interesting.

I was quite surprised at the sudden intrusion of Hermione into the story. Only one student from each school every twenty years? I don't suppose the last one was Snape, unless he's been Obliviated since...

Without reading anything yet, first--I'm so thrilled you're writing again! You haven't disappeared! I've been checking intermittenly without much hope of hearing anything more on Snape or the Malfoys or sirens from you and after years of not going onto , and on a rainy day...

Now I'll read!

This continues to be interesting and unusual. I really have no idea where you're going, which makes it all the better.

Good to see this back, and a very interesting development - I don't think I've ever seen anybody speculate before about what curse-damage might do to an unborn child. It's all coming together really well.

The setting is convincing, except for the reference to people leaning on white picket fences: these are almost totally unknown in Britain. British wooden fences are usually a different shape, and are almost always left as bare wood and then stained or creosoted in a dark colour - tan, brown or green or occasionally even dark blue. You might see one white fence in ten years.

There are a few minor Britpicks, and two typoes you might want to sort. Since we seem to be seeing the narration as through the eyes of various British characters, usually Snape, it should be "fridge", not "ice-box". Here, the ice-box is the little extra-cold bit inside the fridge that you use for e.g. making ice-cubes.

Since the bit at the front of the house is referred to in one place as a front garden it shouldn't be referred to as a front yard in another, if we are seeing them from the p.o.v. of a British character, as here those are different things (a yard has a paved, concreted or bare earth floor).

Putting a tray of cookies out is possible but unlikely: here "cookie" is used to refer to a specific type of moist biscuit, which is not usually home made, as it's a thing firms sell when they are being consciously American. [And would Eileen have a smile and rosy cheeks? She was described as sullen and pallid in her school photograph, although I suppose she might have grown out of it.]

The typoes are simple - "it's on accident" should obviously be "it's an accident", and you've got "illicit" (which means something like "secret and illegal") where you means "elicit".

Well, it's pretty bizarre so far, but not too much. Enough to make me rather curious.

Vivid and original.

"as usual, Dumbledore was trying to tell him something without actually telling him".

Yes. There seems no way Dumbledore could know that Hermione was going to steal those books on Horcruxes, so he must have left them around in his office for Snape (or Minerva, but she was less likely to read them) to find. This suggests to me that he wanted Snape to work out about the Horcruxes without Dumbledore directly telling him. If Voldemort ever found out that Snape knew about the Horcruxes and that Snape knew *Dumbledore* knew about the Horcruxes, the fact that he didn't warn Voldemort "Dumbledore knows how to destroy you" would prove he wasn't loyal to the Dark Lord. But if he can swear "Dumbledore never said anything to make me think he knew about this" and feel as if he's telling the truth, that's not so dangerous, and it doesn't matter so much if Tom finds out he worked it out about Horcruxes by himself.

Something seems to have gone wrong with this sentence - "adept at reading past the mischevious sparkle ([cut]) in the Headmaster's never spoke freely in the office" - and with "the nugde from Snape".

Now that was creepy - and genuinely surprising! I can't wait to see what happens next

Wow, that's almost a horror story at the end of this chapter! Creepy, and I don't see much as truly creepy.

Very well written. Hope to see some more soon.

Is she a Squib, maybe? The fact that she "died" at seven suggests it.

This is splendidly well-written. My only quibble, and it's a small one, is with the decription of house elves as having "interminate" features. The three elves who are described in detail - Dobby, Winky and Kreacher - have very distinctly different features.
