Well done thanks.

Another Awesome tale! I loved Draco as a donkey! Laugh till I almost cried. Marietta is a lovable minx and thanks for sharing her with us. Thanks for giving Sev a family.

Oh, my goodness! What a wonderful Christmas, and such a great carol. (Severus can cook in my house any time!) What a magical way to end this story.

You know, the moment that Marietta was discovered would have been a _really_ good time to mention how much she loved the kitten plates. But not even that would have pleased Umbridge, I expect. Good chapter!

What fun bath games! I want that tub, and I want it now!

Well, she is a normal child, that's the trouble... And Severus did do the right thing, even though it was hard.

And here I thought _all_ cats could walk through walls and turn invisible when they want to...

Very good chapter, I'm amazed Dumbledore's office is in one piece. I'm glad there's a potion for too much candy, though.

Good for Marietta! And good for Snape, too. Although Albus was not wise-Marietta, in his office, for 45 minutes accompanied by lots of sugar.(shudder)

Glass of water, potty, repeat as required-boy, do I know that routine! Cute chapter.

A four year old alone for half an hour in Trelawney's room? I'm amazed anything was standing (and it would be neat to hear the 'predictions' that Marietta makes).
Cute chapter! And no, Severus won't get the tests done till Marietta is safely asleep for the night. I can see _that_ with my Inner Eye!

I'm glad Marietta was there-just her presence helped him with his grieving. {hugs}

Well...the school survived Umbridge. It _might_ survive Marietta. Maybe. As for her screaming, Sprout does have experience with mandrakes (although I once witnessed a troop of Brownies killing a pinata-the bats declared this town a no-fly zone for about a year after).
Cute chapter!

A four year old girl with too much sugar and who may be showing accidental magic at any time-hey, yeah, piece of cake! (giggles
But it was good of Snape to offer, even if he'll be seeing a trauma psychiatrist for the next few months after this...

Great opening chapter-now I need to go back and read all the Arista stories! Marietta's a sweetheart.

Great chapter! I loved the Christmas Carol and the jewelry. At that rate, Sev might make more money selling jewelry than teaching at Hogwarts.
