Aww, Severus is so dang cute when he worries about Hermione. I hope that he is the one that will eventually be romantically paired up with her.
;D

Severus' continued concern for Hermione is heart warming.
:-)

Interesting gathering. Since Sal did not reveal herself to those at the gathering, I'm wondering when it will occur.

I'm wondering if Hermione/Sally will use a disguise, or her own identity, when meeting with Lucius.

CAN'T WATE FOE YEAR 5!

so I definitely feel like Theo recognized Hermione's perfume in the last chapter. and that, with the offer of sanctuary there is large potential for him to observe Slytherin and see that yes, she may have several other similarities to Sally that he would recognize being a good friend of her's and as someone who also has affections for her he probably paid more attention to smaller things, like smell or movement and way of holding oneself. or Sal's preferred way of steepling her fingers together

I liked that Hermione asked Severus for a dance, and that he offered his services to aid her in her political endeavors.
:-D

Ahh, teenage angst, how I do NOT miss those days. LOL
;p

Harry was clever in the spells he used during the first task.

Thank goodness for his friendship with Anthony, for Anthony's knowledge, of the language screeching from the egg, saved Harry and company months of research before the second task.

Well done - keep up the good work.
:-)

Poor portrait-Sal being dragged along to the various Black family portraits, like a prized pet to be showed off. LOL
;p

Clever of Hermione to have changed the two "S"s on the Silver Spindle sign (to match her abbreviated signature) so as to marked her territory... beats peeing on something. LOL
;P

LOL, oh man, that scene at the tea shop was awkward for poor Hermione.

It was good of Crookshank to tell Harry of the dragons.

WOW! Slytherin gave Phineas access to his portrait frame in the Chamber?

Just stumbled upon this story a few days ago and I haven’t been able to put it down. Wonderful job so far, and I can’t wait to read more.

So Blaise is interested in Daphne; Theo and maybe Neville are interested in Sally/Hermione; and Winky is interested in joining Hermione's family/household.
:-)

Hmm, well, at least Cedric won't end up being the unwanted spare, and killed.
;p

I have a great big smile on my face from reading the encounter between Harry and Crookshank the snake.
:-D
