Do you know quite how deliriously squeeful you made me with this review?  I most definitely blame you *tries to stop squeeing for two seconds to point accusingly at you*  And I’m thrilled that I had a part in your brother’s education!  Mornings are always a hard thing to learn but they do happen rather frequently so I suppose the sooner he discovers them the better really ^^  And any time I can help with future kidnapping attempts just ask, I would so hate to cause any fixable problems ^^ (should I send through my house’s blueprints sometime? XD) – and a body bind except for the hand would allow me to write wouldn’t it?  Well, the whole arm really, unless you put my laptop on a very odd angle... although I suppose... and how could you?!  Ransoming muffins, that’s just cruel.

Wow, it’s taken me so long to update that I sincerely hope you aren’t still on the edge of your seat.  That would really hurt, and you could end up with an unfortunately placed crease too.  Oh the horror!  And don’t be nervous, with the way I write what could possibly go wrong? ... hehehe... ignore the possibly evil laughter... it wasn’t me... really...

Hehehe

Lol, okay, now I’m genuinely laughing.  I just love that your guess about the potion is basically that because I’m writing it, it will be awful for Harry... I mean, you aren’t wrong, but it still made me laugh ^-^  and is it already bad for Harry... hmm, that is the question (well not really, but it sounded good ^^) hehe, and if that bird was on a recon mission I think it may have failed (at least if it splattered into our window... if not then it may have died from the heat... see, I’m not always a morbid, slightly disgusting person, it must just be my writing ^^) Ooooh, you could come out with your own line of balaclavas too!  You know, something a bit more fashionable than the current trends in robbery and kidnapping.  Pin stripes for the corporate mugging, pink hearts for the romantic type... could make a fortune!  And if a bunch of Snapes kidnap me over my fanfic I’ll know who to look to (haha, I’ve figured out your master plan, and all it took was you telling me... oh...)

Hehe, we’re still drinking egg nog actually so hopefully Antonomasia wont morph into a Christmas feel-good fic because of it *lmao... yeah, this could totally be feel-good ^^* - it is yummy though, you should try it... never know, it might improve your Christmas fic writing and or kidnapping skills... (maybe I should write to the company, get them to put that as a warning on the carton ^^)

That’s because Ravenclaws are just naturally better though ^^ - and unsorted definitely doesn’t count, especially since people are sorting themselves out now... hahaha... I know, that attempt was horrible, no jokes from me... ever... ^^  I was surprised by the amount of various houses as well actually, as it is at the moment there are 3 Gryffs, 6 Ravens, 5 Slyths and 4 Puffs... interesting stats really, especially on here ^^

AWWW! *Hugs you ‘cos how can I possibly not?* - Well in that case how could I ever even think of not trying to get published someday?  I’ll save you a seat (whether real or in my head... don’t worry there’s loads of room in there ^^) at my one day possibly maybe book signing ^-^ *fives more points because you just totally made my day more squeeful and somehow managed to motivate me... again... so your fault ^-^

In the meantime I suppose updates (... like the one that is so extremely overdue... sorry sorry sorry ^^ please don’t spontaneously combust or ransack the house when you kidnap me or anything!) will have to do ^^

Thanks, and I hope the New Year brings lots of muffins and cookies and other good things... like Snape masks. ^^

I’m so glad I’ve managed to get you to feel so much!  And for some reason so many of my multichapter fics in any fandom ends up leaving people with this desire to see someone dead ^-^  weird.

 It really is the next chapter that most things come out, cant wait ^^. 

And your potion guesses, Oh they were fun to read ^-^  Well, I’ll tell you that you get ten points for the initial guess about the potion’s purpose... well done ^^ - and as for Umbitchacitus... nice, v. Nice ^-^ an extra four points (you earned quite a bit with all your reviews and good answer you know ^^)... that way you know that that unusual number compared to the rest is all yours ^^

Hahaha, a rock thrown at my window by all my irritated readers over lack of an update I would believe ^^

Puff on my wonderful reader, and thank you so much for taking the time to read the whole thing so far, it must have been a bit gruelling, I’ve been told it’s not the happiest read (who would’ve guess with ‘torture’ in the warnings ^^)

Ah, not to worry, heaps of people still seem to like cats coming out of that chapter – after all, it isn’t a cat’s fault Umbitch is so twisted.  And I’m glad it wasn’t too bad... even if it was... and wasn’t... ^-^

Oooh, Pansy Parkinson?  Did your costume work well?  And really you answered A question, so that should be good enough right?  Five points anyway ^^

I’m glad I have you on tenterhooks... I think... or perhaps not, is it painful?  If so, sorry!  And yes, I think reviewing with “HOLY EFFING HELL HARRY DONT GO” will work... why haven’t I tried that in reviews before ^^ And he’ll catch a break next chapter!  Yay, finally, the big break I think the readers (and me) need... possibly more than Harry ^^ - and I think you’ll be surprised how very unpissed Snape will be... with Harry... when he *cough* finds him *cough cough*... hint btw, not asthma attack ^-^  - and there isn’t a whole heap more umbitch can do... but she will try... but I’ve been good and made it as pain free as possible for anyone reading!!!  Like removing a splinter (with a kitty cane and a blood quill) – a bit hurty but once it’s gone we get lots of mush... I suck at analogies... unless that’s what splinters are like that with you in which case I meant to say that ^^

Thanks and sorry it’s been so long, hopefully it’s worth it ^^
