I really enjoy this story. Making the Japanese teahouse culture a central component was, in my opinion, a stroke of genious. It is hauntingly unique and though I have just stumbled upon it, I look forward to seeing how this story progresses eagerly. Thank you for sharing such an intersting piece of work :)

I must admit that though I love Phantom of the Opera, I have read a lot of fanfiction involving Hermione singing it and I feel it is almost overdone? Other than that, I have the utmost respect for you story writing skills.

It is a great pleasure to read something this different and I am very excited to see it continue.

Hi, I totally love this story and especially the last chapter was incredible. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant, brilliant story. I love the way you portray the characters, although I feel that Draco seemed a bit OOC in this chapter; at least in the movies, it's made clear that he didn't really like being a Deatheater because he didn't enjoy hurting/killing people. Now I know his desires for Sakura/Hermione is to be expected, I didn't quite expect him to be that... forward. Especially since Snape is the leader of Britain now.

I have to say this one is better than "The Five Winters". It feels much more serious, since Hermione is in a sort of life-or-death-situation here. I mean, she's going to have to reveal her identity one way or another. I can't wait for Snape's reaction on that! I also think it's a bit odd someone hasn't realized she is Granger, although I suspect they think she's with Harry and Ron, as you stated in a previous chapter.

I have to say this story is almost better than "The Five Winters". It feels much more... "action"-oriented if that makes sense.

I love the japanese words you've put in here and there; glad you've researched about that. I find it amusing that Hermione's "codename" is "Sakura", which is the same as the kunoichi (assasain/ninja/shinobi) from Naruto. Because in a way, Hermione is also an "assasain", since she planned to kill Severus.

Oh, and the part

""But the Sorting Hat contemplated putting me into Gryffindor before it ultimately sorted me into Slytherin."

WHAT?

"I see." "

was absolutely ADORABLY FUNNY! Laughed out loud in the middle of the night XD

Im loving this fic. I found it yesterday and can't stop reading. You have create an awsome Hermione

I finished the chapters at one shot and honestly I love this story! It has a really unique story line and I hope Hermione will realize her feelings for Severus soon. Please keep updating!

I just discovered this story, and have a few chapters before I'll have to wait an update, but I'm loving it so far! I wouldn't have thought the tea house thing would work, but you've made it happen :)

wow! super awesome update! haha. Oooh! I thought Draco would recognize that Sakura was really Hermione! Hmm. I wonder who the first person will be to figure it out? haha. Severus is going to be so mad!~

BUT! What Draco said about his fantasy? Ha! Will Hermione realize he meant her? haha.

Thanks for the update! Keep up the awesomeness with TWD and TFW~~~!

Ooooo, the plot thickens! I wonder if Severus noticed Hermione's... er... Sakura's discomfort at returning to Malfoy Manor?

Thanks for posting again so soon.

bravo bravo mi amour.. you done such a good job i cant wait for an update

Again, great update! can't wait for more!

*gigglesgrins at Sakura kissing the cheek of the Lord of Britain in front of all guests*

Something tells me Draco won't give up that easily... and might he start to suspect who Sakura really is? That strange face twisting and all..

So glad to see a new chapter! :)

When I saw this had been updated, I did a little happy dance! Glad to see that you haven't abandoned it: this story is probably my favorite Harry Potter fanfic, and one of my favorites in any genre.

Anxiously awaiting more,

Warmest regards

K.S.

I'm glad you haven't abandoned this story. Looking forward to the next update!
