This was an incredible story!
I loved it! I enjoyed it a lot.

I've discovered FFI last year and read hundreds of stories, and this one is one of my best favorites. You write beautifully.

And I am so glad you found a way to complete it, misturing short notes and full text at the end. It feels great to go like this through the end.

If by any chance you wrote others texts somewhere, I would love to read them

Oh this story is amazing ! You created such a great intrigue ! I absolutely enjoy it

Oh I love this story!
And this poem is beautiful ! I love your style and the quotes too !

Loved your writing! I really appreciate that you posted the sketch of your story for the last two chapters. I was getting nervous as I approached the end, knowing the story wasn’t marked complete, so it was wonderful to know the outline and some vignettes of the rest of the plot.

Hamlet, Pronce of Denmark mentioned!

Loved this

While I do enjoy your story- I don’t think that the “accustomed to rejection” Snape you’re describing and the unusual teenage lothorio you’ve created jive well together. Snape with all sorts of girl friends is already throwing me for a loop but to then also still say he’s always rejected? Why include the “girlfriends” persona at all?
I like your story but Snape is very OOC and it makes the story a little hard to get into.

im pretty sure i read this years ago, will read when i finish current fic.. so excited

Thank goodness I found this on someone's list. I am starting to appreciate more original and creative quality stories that challenge both canon and fanon. I will never favor the Granger/Snape match, but I totally support their friendship and the concept of, but not the title of inner circle of Hogwarts. I also wish Harry could have melded with Hogwarts and Ron could have paired with Millicent. Harry needs a believable happy ending. But you have gifted us with beautiful writing and a full template, so I can move the characters around to my liking in my own mind. Black/Lupin is an inspired match if there ever was one. Maybe the reason I prefer Hermione with a minor character is that she reminds me of the ultimate Mary Sue or self insert in so much fanfiction. There is nothing in the Snape character of the books to inspire the devotion of fan fiction writers. It is all from the genius of the late Alan Rickman. You have written an amazing tribute to his skill.

I liked the story and very well written. But it's too much OOC for me

Loved it. Thanks for writing.

Well, it is wonderfully written. If only it was less ooc (often very annoyingly ooc) and well, less of everything except quality. One book doesn't need so many twists, it's distracting, and doesn't give the reader a chance to enjoy them.
But thank you for your work. I'm sure it's just author's 'growing pains'. The important thing is that you are a real author, you've got talent for it. Good luck!

It's a very odd feeling. On one hand, it is wonderfully written. A bit too many ups and downs for my taste, but that's just me, the narrative is gripping. I enjoy reading and would like to finish it. But on the other hand there are plenty of things that ring false in themselves as well as to the original. The way they react to Harry's behaviour, which seemed unnatural from the start. At first it looked like a typical Harry bashing, but clearly there is more to it. In which case it is extremely odd that people reacted the way they did. The level to which Snape changed and ways in which he changed. How annoying Hermione is most of the time and how little people react to it. The marysueing of muggle ideas and Ron and Hermione. Way overboard. All grown up wizards are idiots, you just need a couple of 17yearolds, and all the world problems will be resolved. Etc, etc.
But it's a testament to how good it is written that one can ignore it most of the time and keep reading.

I know you wrote this story only after GoF but even then, the characters ate so Zooc. It seems like Hermione had been friends with Snape since years to have a conversation like that with him. It’s just vague...

3rd time of reading & I enjoy it every time. This is wonderful, with so many excellent ideas - Hogwarts' Warden, the appearance detracting charm, the House of Mirth, taking the focus off Harry & moving it to the ensemble.
Thanks so much for writing, & for finishing it; even your notes are better than some completed fics.
Thank you
