I got quite a chuckle out of Lockhart making himself partially bald when trying to remove the stench of a butt-load (pun intended) of dungbombs having been lobbed over his head. Which was further added to (my amusement that is) by reading of Sal's recommendation to him in the journal to use egg whites and URINE. Too effing funny!

Wow, the WHOLE power structure of Slytherin has shifted - too cool!

400 points and detention every week until Christmas? Serves the little snot-knocker right!
;P

Oh man, the audacity of the creep to demand that his classmates choose him or Sally/Harry; then to so obviously lose is hilariously humiliating. Boy, you done effed up! LOL
;P

I like how Severus was encouraged by things beginning to turn around at Hogwarts, and then his aggravation at it falling apart due to Malfoy and his bookends interfering in Severus' duel with Hermione.

I was surprised that the Weasley twins basically confessed to being the ones to have placed the gigantic book, written by Slytherin, in front of the Slytherin common room.

Wow, Neville actually asked Sally to help learn the torture curse. Wonder what he will do with it.
o.0

Oh no! Neville is going to ask Hermione to help him learn how to cast the cruciatus curse?

It is a brilliant idea to have the house ghosts help to teach the students about the founders of Hogwarts.
D

It was good of Hermione to advise Lockhart away from showing his lack of dueling skills, and to instead coach him on something simple to teach at the first meeting of the dueling club.

Oh my goodness, is it that the teaching staff of Hogwarts is actually beginning to admire, and seek advice from Lockhart? Quick! Check out the window for flying pigs! LOL
;p

OMG! Hermione is to clever by half with her successful mission of actually getting Lockhart to become a better teacher; not to mention her giving him a side quest of standing up for Salazar Slytherin, and his works, and reputation - brilliant!
D

Thank goodness Hermione got her hands on the diary before too much damage could be done by either Ginny or Tommy-boy.

*ROTFLMAO*
I'm expecting Lockhart to have kittens upon reading, "'Hello, Gilderoy Lockhart,' it read. 'I am Salazar Slytherin.'"
;P

The sorting hat's song was straight forward in its listing of the houses qualities... as it should be.

I enjoyed Hermione and friends' banter regarding Lockhart.
;p

I got a chuckle out of Hermione having made an impression on Mr. Brogins in her handling of some unsavory type characters last summer in Knockturn Alley.
;D

.-.-. F.Y.I. - errors found needing correction - thought you might like to know:
1) "Br. Borgins, she realised, seemed to be an..." ["Br. Borgins" ought to be "Mr. Borgins"];
2) Also, there appears to be at least three different spellings presented in this chapter of the word "Knockturn".

Hermione's parents handled the Dursleys in a very diplomatic, and charming way - well done.
:-)

My guess for the stalker is Dobby the house elf.

I like what you did with first year; especially Hermione/Sally's efforts to bring her name into better light, drag Slytherin house of of their ugly ideals, and network with students from other houses.

Well done - keep up the good work.
:-)

It is brilliant that Hermione still has her previous self's animagus form, even if the colors have changed due to her being different physically.

It was good of her to have assisted the Headmaster in his confrontation with Quirrellmort.

Hmm, it is great that someone as knowledgeable as Sal was able to put the clues together to come up with Moldyshorts having made at least one horcrux.

Well done - keep up the good work.
:-)
