Wow.  You can just feel the tension between Slytherin Severus and harridan Hermione.  Just when I was beginning to think someone is trying to frame Team Mercury, you put a twist to the end.  I'll have to wonder until the next chapter.  Nicely done.

Hey, Blue Artemis! You'vve done an excellent job continuing this very fun story line! I was happy to see Severus & Lucius actually kind of admitting they're behind it all. I can't wait to see what happens next! Much Love ~ Brena.

Cute tale. (tail?)   Somehow I doubt that it is all as simple as it seems.  Good job on the second chapter.

I loved the interplay between Severus and Hermione. Oh, yes... Can I have the blue-spotted kitten if she doesn't?

Sounds like more Slytherin deviltry is afoot.Let the games begin... or rather, continue.

Could it possibly be... Severus? *Crosses fingers*

Sneaky, sneaky!  But will she think them so clever when she finds out?

Nice job, Blue! *applauds*

oh god, severus with a kneazle on his shoulder and a kitten, that image nearly killed me i was laughing so hard!!! love this! can't wait for the next chapter. great job!!!

OOOOH, how very slytherin indeed.  But they are no match for our leading lady... I hope.

I will be sticking with this story. Looks to me that the Malfoys and Snape are certainly up to no good. Good luck to Hermione!

What fun!  So it sounds like Severus and Lucius are behind the antics after all.  I look forward to seeing how they get Hermione next time.  Good luck, JoAnne

Good chapter. I love the banter between Severus and Hermione.

So they are behind it all. But I think they are trying to win more than Quidditch...

Oh, Blue, I really liked this chapter.  I lurve the way you described Severus' voice.  And I especially liked the playfulness between Hermione and Severus within the chapter.  Very nice, indeed.

Well, thank goodness she's divested herself of Ron! Now why do I think that Lucius is playing at sabotaging the Quidditch teams, but Severus is more about playing with Hermione? It's a game of wills and Slytherin tactics. What's a poor Gryffindor to do?

Gah, Ron begging for tickets!  Laughable that the Parkinsons didnt' have one for thier son-in-law. I suppose they don't like him all that much LOL

Severus is so smooth in this chapter, voice and actions. I'm galled that Severus and Luous are behind all these actions.

This was very fun.  One concrit however - I wonder if their part was made just a little...too...clear this early in the game.  They've spelled out what they plan to do and now we are looking for it.  *shrug  It was enjoyable to read.  Sara

Brilliant.  Hermione is certainly at her best in this story, and I love the pun in the title.

this is very well written, interesting plot. like to see how it develops. well done

I have a little inkling as whose voice it might be. I'm thrilled. Also I've noticed a little thing about Draco. Isn't he supposed to have grey eyes and not blue ones? Just a thought.

Oooooh! Corruption and foul play at the Intergalactic Quidditch Cup playoffs! Malfoy makes a perfect sports team owner and Snape is delightful as the not-so-silent partner. At least, I have no doubt we'll be hearing quite a bit from him about Hermione's barely-supported accusations. I can't wait for the next installment!

“I don’t remember your being overly tedious about rules, Miss Granger, but that aside, I do not recall ever having bought or owned a Snidget in my life.”^ LOL  What an amazingly selective memory.  I know this is Lucius and not Draco, but Hermione is the most overly tedious person about rules that we all know.  Awesome.  ^_^Not so sure I see Hermione being all gung-ho about Quidditch of all things (though the Ethics Committee bit would be right up her alley), but looking forward to what I trust is Severus's involvement in future. ;)

I liked how well you described the scene.  I could really see what was happening in the match.  And you've dealt Hermione (and us) a lovely surprise in the way you've introduced Severus.

Fun chapter.  I never realized how much I wanted to see Percy in a harrowing experience.  I wish Lucius had better timing though!  I look forward to your next chapter.  Thanks, JoAnne
