I really am gonna start keeping up with reviews. You are all so great so here we go:
Chapter 1 Reviewers:
Lei Dumbledore: Thanks for the praise. I will update soon! :P
Diagonalist: That is the most unique name I've seen. There should be more Severus-Harry interaction soon.
Tima: I will!!
Chapter 2 Reviewers:
Lee Lee Potter: Sev is a good slinker isn't he?
t.a.g.: I'm looking forward to writing it!
Lei Dumbledore: Thanks for coming back!
Tinker: Ooh…you made a new word! I love doing that!
Iniysa: Exactly how do pronounce that? Thanks for reviewing!
Amber: Snape does seem to make a great black panther doesn't he? It just seemed to fit him.
Chapter 3 Reviewers:
t.a.g.: Welcome back. Glad you're sticking with me.
Lei Dumbledore: See above. Glad you like it.
Lee Lee Potter: Another repeat reader. The Dursleys will be back, and let's just say they're not going to be happy people once a certain someone gets a hold of them. Not telling, that'll ruin the surprise.
Blaise: Wow, with emphasis even. Thanks!
CokeFreak: Like the name…and hey yourself.
Saavik: As before, Snape is perfect as a panther.
Chapter 4 Reviewers:
Fair Lady Ravenclaw: More on its way!
Lei Dumbledore: I just love loyal fans…I'll have to dedicate the next chapter to you!
Saavik: It does fit! HA! Take that Marauders!
Chapter 5 Reviewers:
Barbi Bee: Why thank you! I had a wonderful holiday…hope you did as well.
Radcliffe-Lover: I've seen a few mighty good ones…you just have to hunt for them.
Zol: Continuing!
Gablock the Harted: Interesting name. Yes, there is much to be answered.
Lei Dumbledore: *creepy singsong voice* She's ba-ack.
Phoenix Flight: The Marauders aren't the only smart ones…Sev's a Slytherin after all.
Grey Malfoy: Yes, update soon.
Mikee: No, thank you. And yes, Severus as a panther.
Saavik: Must remember to dedicate a chapter to you as well. Yeah, the "hit by a bear" is priceless. It just seemed like a Snape thing to say.
Littletiger: thanks, I will!
Alecatq: I love Severitus challenges as well. Though, after the 100th one, you start to see some similarities…my other fic, "The Last Sorcerer" isn't a Severitus challenge, but Snape and Harry do get along. As well as in "Christmas Reflections." Oops…sorry for the shameless plugging, just thought you'd like them.
Chapter 6 Reviewers:
Lei Dumbledore: Severus Snape is my favorite character. He's so complex.
Iniysa: Welcome back!
Jarvey: Ah, one of my ever-vigilant reviewers. Originally, his wand was supposed to be broken by the Dursleys, but as I was tired and sleep deprived, I overlooked it. I am sorry for the confusion. I fixed it so it flows better.
Kateydidnt: See above and thank you both
Tantz: I'm on your favorites? I am honored…mental note: dedicate chapter to Tantz.
Chapter 8 Reviewers:
Teri: Glad to have you on board!
FireSenshi: *bows* I thank you as well.
Sylvanus Snape: Nice name by the way…I'm glad you decided to read it. Sometimes the summaries can't tell you everything or how good it's going to be.
Saavik: Thanks! I love Diagon Alley…it's one of the most interesting places JK created (next to Hogwarts, o' course).
Chapter 9 Reviewers:
Kateri: You like ME? Whatever for? Tell me so I can do it again and get more people to like me!
Selke: Betcha thought it was another Lockhart didn't ya? Secret Lupin is going to get really confusing once school starts.
Jliles: Thanks, and it was an unplanned twist, but it worked out.
Takari4ever7: Ya know, in the beginning, I was appalled by the idea of Snape as Harry's father. Now, I can't get enough of it. It's a great story line with so many possibilities. Remus is gonna be around for a while, so stick with me!
FireSenshi: Next chapter, coming up!
Eris wannabe: I plan on it!
Alecatq: I just had to put the bouncing ferret in there. Draco is my second favorite character (I'm a pureblood Slytherin), but I think he deserved that one. GO MOODY!
Dracoqueen456: Rest assured, I do not write slash, so have no fear. I don't like Cho Chang, and Padma? She seems so…so…floopy. I can see you're a Ravenclaw though. I'll try to include one if not both of those characters for you, no promises, but that I'll try.
Ok, now for author's notes. My office is down to 2 people out of 6, so the two of us have to take on many additional duties. So, I may not update often. But this fic is one of my priorities really, and something I enjoy, so I may update often! Was that too confusing for you?
For those of you reading "Christmas Reflections:" I am going to try and write another chapter soon, but it may not be out for a while. I'll see what I can do.
Those who reviewed Chapter 10: You're reviews will be in the next chapter. I'm going to try and keep that up.
Thank you all for reading! Without you, I'm just blowing hot air!
Yours, in the name of Salazar Slytherin,
Rickman's Girl
