Again, THANKYOU to my reviewers! Here's some replies to the things you guys have written, since I've had SO MANY reviews I cant just stick it at the end of a chapter anymore, because I know how annoying it is to have to scroll through that stuff! Forgive me if I leave any of you out; I just can't really remember where I left off with replies, because I addressed some of the points in the end of one of the chapters, which took care of some of the reviews….but anyways….just email me if you want to know something, and I'll be happy to tell you anything you want to know!

Athenakitty: I must say, it is amusing to read your reviews, because it actually makes me go back and think about what's supposed to happen, and I don't do that often….but to answer your questions…..Yes, Harry Was going to drop Divinations, as some of the classes become optional in the seventh year. But as he did not take two whole years of the classes, all of his seventh year classes are mandatory. Snape suspects a lot, because he's brilliant, of course, (giggle) but he can't quite figure it out. Harry's patronus changed because, basically, his whole magical essence has changed from his new magic skills. Hermione will be suspicious, but she will restrain herself for a few chapters yet.

Harry can't play Quidditch anymore because he was off the team for two years, and they found a replacement, naturally, and he can't just come barging back in. I think I might make the new seeker Ginny, since we haven't seen much of her yet…..sorry, everyone, I just haven't been able to fit her in, really…..Dumbledore wanted Snape to teach Harry Occlumency so that he could be defended against Voldemort, obviously, but it didn't go to well! ;-) And Snape is going to be confused for a bit, but maybe, slowly, grow a new respect for Harry. They won't admit the attraction for a long long time, as I hate those stories where they just fall into each other's arms and start madly making out. I mean, come on, they hated each other for years. They aren't just going to suddenly stop. They might have sex, I don't know. I'm not too good at smut scenes, and you can't post them here anyways, but I might attempt to make a scene far, far later in the story, and people can email me for it….and no, Snape has given up on Occlumency with Harry. Harry already knows all there is to know. ~~~Thanks for your review!

coccinelle-rouge13, potter-man1, MarsMoonStar, potterlover2004, DaughterofDeath, Lady Shang, Weed, ccs rox, stayblue, blue dream1 Jesss1, NightShade: thank you very much, all of you! I hope to add more chapters as often as I can.

Wink at J00: Lol! Yes, there is slashyness! (Is that even a word??? Lol) I'm glad you like it!

Lillinfields: Glad I could make you happy!!! I live to please.

Saturnine the Possesive: Yep, you know now….keep watching for updates!

Nikcole: I do agree with pretty much all of what you said. Especially about the grammar and stuff; I hate it. I mean, I read some stories that have a really good, original plot, but the grammar is so bad I just have to stop. Another turn off of mine is stories that have underrated reactions and too easily gained or won powers that can do anything. For instance, in one story I read, and I am terribly sorry if the author is reading this, but it needs a bit of work. It's a great plot, just needs some toning down! But anyways, Harry got these all-powerful powers (lol) that can do anything, and he cures Lupin of his lycanthropy with a touch, and Lupin just 'smiled gratefully', and Snape did pretty much the same when freed of his Dark Mark. I mean, come on, people! It's too easy for Harry, for one thing, and a werewolf would NOT just 'smile gratefully' when freed of the curse.

Sorry about that, it's a pet peeve of mine. But annyways…..no, the slash will not be all snog sessions and steamy sex. (ooo, look, I can do alliteration! *claps hands*) I do agree that, while PWP does have its place, I do want this to have a plot. And No LotR elves will be added, because while I do like LotR, I am not all that familiar, and I don't know where I would fit them in. You're right about the magic…and thanks everyone for the bold/italics thing! So useful!

Jewelclaw: Yes, Sev will find out, and I think I might write the entire next chapter like I did the dream sequence, like Harry's telling it but at the same time reliving it…..or do you guys think I should just have him tell it? Or a bit of both??

Sylph-san: No, I wasn't actually in the hospital, I was there for my grandfather….he had a ruptured aneurism in his stomach (if anyone has the faintest clue what that is!!!) and died…. :'(

Quickjewel and Mandy: Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!

Samantha: You got pretty much exactly what I was going for, or will be going for in the future! Haha it's so funny to see a confused Snape….I liked writing the book burning thing….*snigger*

Maximum Poofy-Queen of AU: I understand your pain….I like Hermione/Snape, but I gave up on writing them….Love the name, BTW.

Cassa-andra: Camping, hmm? Sounds…..hot, at least where I'm hailing from. Good luck! (even though you're probably already back now!)

hermionita: I will try very hard to et some R/H in there, I keep meaning to and then getting distracted…..the Harry/Snape will go very slowly, so you don't really have to worry about that for a good long while. I really have been trying to make Harry different and changed, because, I mean, he's been living in practically a whole nother (is that even a word?!) world for two years. Glad you noticed! And I am tryin to get more Ginny in there, sorry to all you Ginny fans!!!

P.D.: ok!!!! Lol ;-)

Willow26: I've always found the idea of new and different magics intriguing myself, and you should read the Mirror of Maybe by Midnight Blue! *hats off and bows deeply to goddess of fanfics* Even though her story isn't here anymore!

Pose:  YAY another chapter! Keep updating I love it!

Sirius's Secret Lover: glad you like it, and I hope your question was answered above.

Skip: Yes, I'm going to go more in-depth, and some of his powers migh…..*slip* hehehe…

bramblerose-proudfoot: glad you like it! Yes, I've been trying very hard to accomplish the imaging, and I've worked on it a lot, and I'm trying to get some things published, which is why my grammar's usually so unnaturally perfect. Lol!

Hereditis: thanks a lot! I'm glad too!

TheSilverLady: *fights very hard with hand not to make obscene gesture* forgive me for that, everyone else…it just kind of….pops up where it's least expected….like smelly uncles…but there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, I have a few very good friends who are gay…but if it's the whole Harry/Snape thing, then it's OK for you to be against it, everyone has their own opinion about characters…I just have a thing about homophobes….;-D

ANNNNND last but not least…..to my MOST faithful reviewer, whom I love….*huggles*……..

GOLDENSNIDGET!!!!!!

You leave the longest and most consistent reviews, and you actually reviewed FOUR times for chapter six! One every day for three days straight, and two for one day! It's great to see your reviews, and I really hope that you aren't deterred by the slash! It's great to know you're there checking for updates as usual!! And I like your story BTW!

Anyways, I hope to have more updates soon, people! I love you all!
