And unluckily she ended up with some muggle :-/

I really like your story. Really. It's not something I usually read, but I liked the uncertainty, and the feeling it was just the beginning. I don't know. It's lovely.

Oh dear. Famous last words!

I don't know why, but this story charmed me :) It's nice to know what kind of life Eileen had before having Snape. And Abraxas' role, I didn't see that coming :) It's a refreshing thing, to read about the less popular characters. Thanks for the nice read :)

Really cute. Love seeing such dedicated writing go to less popular characters.

This was stunning!

You do marvelously with a character only barely mentioned in the books- you give her flesh and blood and feelings.

She's snarky and rude- I can see where Severus got those traits from!

You do a wonderful job portraying the horribleness of her life. It sounds incredibly boring.

Abraxas Malfoy is a little different than I've seen him characterized before, but I still like it. He's demanding and proud- a true Malfoy :)

I enjoy Eileen's innovation about slipping away. Abraxas is an idiot!

"No matter what their fathers wanted, Eileen had long ago made up her mind that she was never going to marry Abraxas Malfoy. No: she would rather marry a muggle than end up married to him."

I'm a firm believer that the ending makes or breaks a piece. This ending is wonderful because it's got a lovely bit of foreshadowing thrown in. I would actually like to see this continued... maybe meeting Tobias Snape?

So, all in all I really enjoyed this. I think the characters shine through beautifully. You've got a nice, fresh style and a wonderful eye for an interesting plot. Good job, and I hopefully will read more of you :)

LIKE

very good reasoning on why a proper pureblood woman would run off with an abusive muggle

:D

Loved it

ha, and of course we all know what happens next...enter tobias snape!
eileen seems very in character, which is a bit of a strange thing because we don't actually meet her in any of the books...okay, maybe 'in character' wasn't the best phrase to use...let's say she 'made sense'..yes, that seems to fit. very well written, and i can just see this tomboy dressed up in a dress, scowling her head off whilst being asked to dance by a malfoy with the charm turned on full blast! a very good drabble, and i really think this could be developed into something more...perhaps you could follow it up or something.

Short but sweet; I really enjoyed reading this. Somehow, Abraxas and Eileen being connected like that (even if it's hate on Eileen's part) seemed to make sense and I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed as being canon.

The last line was also great - totally perfect in hinting at Eileen's future. Thank you for the good read!

I've never read anything like that, and I really enjoyed it. The last line left a strong impact considering what Eileen wound up doing. Great job!

Be careful what you wish for Eileen... Interesting idea. A cool follow up would be her father's and maybe Abraxas' reaction to her marriage.

Ah, the hereditary Malfoy charm.

Hah.

A very original take on Snape's mother, and incidentally an explanation of one of his ties to Lucius (almost-brothers). Your version of Eileen Prince has many interesting possiblities.

Oh my God! When I saw this, I nearly died from happiness. Seriously, BEST CHARACTER COMBINATION EVER! Abraxas was HILARIOUS. Oh my God. I loved the thing about the drink spiking. :D I also liked the way you wrote Eileen. It seemed... in character, which doesn't really make sense, but... still. She made sense at least, and that's what's important.

But, yeah, fabulous. Great work. :D
