I just have to say this is my favorite chapter(so far)!I love the restaurant, very creative.  The agitated plant, no veggies on the menu, Cormac...and the quill.  Definitely the best part is the quill.  Made me snort out loud (thought I woke my son!) lol

OH I love that Snape's first reaction was to fulfil his scientific duty.  That rings very true to me.  I think any scientist would feel like that.

Thanks for a wonderful tale filled with magic and imagination.  I have enjoyed it form start to finish.  here are five stars to add to the five I gave you* * * * *

Oh, NO!  The mice died, even the one who took water.  I used to give my college buddies a big glass before putting them to bed after a party, so I thought maybe he'd discover that Desdemona had survived.I really liked the part when he thought about Marcus Belby and his work.

another excellent chapter.   I was happy to see Hermione holding her own.

I love this!  Mrs Carmichael, then a wonderfully imaginative restaurant, and, (just when I thought it couldn't get any better) Cormac the Uncoouth!And how cool that mentioning a salad or vegetable upsets the plants!  So funny!  And the pen that works like Rita's! LOL  Thank you so much for this!

wonderful chapter with magic, an unscrupulous businessman,  and discussion of 'heroes' in the Wizarding world.  This is an excellent tale.  do you each write a bit and then e-mail to the other? 

This has been wonderful wonderful wonderful to read.  Where can I find other stories from the Shattered Wands Universe?  :)

I'm glad they found each other.  I hope Dumbles rots in hell.

Very nice ending.  Hate to see it end.  Great work and greta story.

Ouch!

When I was young I used to think scenes like this in books and plays were contrived, because logical people would talk things out sensibly.  Then I became a youth and heard all the raving from my lovesick friends, and I thought them mad.  But now I know that most people really are that goofy.  So what with Dumbledore's love-spell (and maybe even Severus's recent coma-from-hell) it is natural that he would resent it. 

This is such a great tale, and I am glad to be getting back to it after all this time.  You have such a wonderful imagination, and a very interesting take on ruthless Dumbledore.  Thanks for sharing this !

Whew! That was awfully close. Great nail-biting finish. :)

This was a delight to read. I loved the ending and his words of professed love. Perfect.Thanks for sharing.

YAY!  Excellent.  Of course you've left me craving MORE, but generally, this is the best one can hope for in a truly great story.  Some stories just go on and on losing sight of the initial goal of the story.  Some stories just take a terrible turn or they start out good and turn to crap after a short while.  You've maintained a good story and ended it well.

I'm glad they're finally happy together. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this wonderful story. PS : Is there a way I might coax you to write an epilogue if I offer chocolate cookies? *puppy dog eyes*

:O I need the next part to this story! It's fabulous. Can't wait for more. :) 

"The Customer is Always Right and Other Fallacies: Dealing with Demanding Clients in Today's Market."That really cracked me up.  I'm loving their exchanges.

Oh I do hope you'll continue.  I want to find out what will happen when a cure is found.  I just KNOW one will be found, though perhaps not if Severus works on it alone since he's stalling.  AGG.  I LOVE this story.  Please please keep writing.

I laugh every time Yorick is called "chicken".  It's just so wonderfully silly and yet seems such a perfect thing coming from Snape.  A falcon and a chicken have much in common but falcons are beautiful and graceful and probably more intelligent than chickens.  These things are sometimes difficult for Snape to see, so Yorick is not all that different from a chicken to him.  Or maybe it's just one little tiny bit of frivolity he allows himself.  Either way, it totally cracks me up.I'm glad Snape and Hermione are friends again. 

oh NOOOOO!

Yay!!!  Of course it would be required for someone to need Snape, to care about Snape to break the rotten spell.  Dumbledore just never, EVER, thought it would happen.  HAH, he underestimated some people.  Poor Severus.  Ooh, that Dumbledore!

ohhh, I have NEVER hated Dumbledore more than I do right now.  The thing is, it seems so close to canon...I wouldn't put it past canon dumbledore.  AGGGG.

Oh wow!  Can't wait to read Severus' reaction to her saying his real name!
