Awwwwww!!! How sad, i'm feeling jellous of Katarina! lol.
I wish my school had balls~ *tear*
Author's Response: Yes, the students in Hogwarts are lucky! And their Balls are wonderful. But Katarina will not enjoy herself at this Ball. Wonder why... ^^ At least, until... *biiiiippppp*
hahahah malfoy!! bald! yessssssssss!
Author's Response: Hehe... Yes, the little prat deserved to be shaved! Now he'll remember that Neville is not a Squib! LOL
ohhhh this is getting good! i can feel it~! lol
Author's Response: Thanks! The scene of the first kiss in the library was in my mind for a long time! I wanted that scene to be surprising for everyone (including the characters). ^^
Hey, i know you wont reviews, but now im too into this to review. lol.
Super good! fabulous! Wonderful! Gotta read!
Author's Response: Hehe! Thanks a lot for your comments and your support! It's very encouraging!!! *grinning*
I was so happy to read this chapter. In JKs book where we see snape's memory, i wished it would go on. I wanted a book just on them. GJ.
Author's Response: Hi! I had always wondered what had really happened to Snape that famous day he'd been attacked by James and Sirius. Had James or Sirius taken his pants off? The response is definitely NO! (It would have been too cruel). Fortunately for him, Katarina Burns was there to help him!!! ^^ Oh, and if you like flashbacks and memories, you'll be happy. There are lots of flashbacks in my story! Hehe!
This is my fav chapter so far. I realy like how u developed the personality of Burns! Cant wait to keep reading.
Author's Response: Hehe! Glad that you like Burns!!! ^^ Thanks for the review! It's great to hear about readers!!! (few of them review on Lumos)
It's very good. I at first was judging based on JKR... because i thought i was reading her work. Now thinking of a "non-professional" author writing all this is very good. I was gonna say that they got on the train fast. But then u probably dont wanna write a 1000 page book like JKs. lol.
It was fabulous. Definitely loved big brother, the vampires were awesome. Good Job!!! (I wanna continue now... lol)

Author's Response: Hi! Thanks you very much for your comments! For information, my story has now 627 pages ^^. I wanted to write my own version of the sixth book. It was a challenge, since I'm not English, but French. I won't read HBP until my story is finished, not to mess up everything. I can promise you a lot of mystery and surprises in the next chapters! Hehe! Hope that you'll like the rest of the story! ^^
I feel sorry for Kat and Severus. Friends can be such pains in the butt sometimes! Severus' Dad should be brought back to life and killed, again, for telling Severus to join on his deathbed!!!!
Author's Response: Hi! Thanks for the review!!! Yes, Kat's friends were not very kind with her... And Severus' father was a really horrible person to ask his son to join the Death Eaters. Grrr! He ruined Severus' life because of his own foolish dreams...
Anyway, more about Severus' choices in Chapter 32! ^^
Oh, I hope Dumbledore is right!! I can't believe Kat thinks Severus gave her the Love Philter, but that would explain some things, I think. I'm glad you're not reading the HBP until after! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Hi! I've just submitted Chapter 31! Burns is convinced Snape gave her the Love Philtre, but she had her reasons... (really good reasons) Hehe... Can't say more, but... more about Snape's choices in Chapter 31! ^^
Hey! I'm back! Sorry it took me so long to read and review, I was rereading previous HP books before I got my HBP and then I had to read that one, too. I didn't forget you! I can't wait to see what happend at the ball! Severus needed to be kicked in the head for being so stupid! Of course, it was perfect Severus mentality! Narcissa?! Poor Severus! I look forward to reading more, as always!
p.s. I do realize this story is kinda AU, but you do follow the canon.... I hope you're not gonna follow the newest canon in regards to Dumbledore in this story! It would really mess up my day. That's all I'm gonna say just in case you haven't finished the HBP.
Author's Response: Hi! I haven't read the HBP and I won't until my story is finished (yes, I'm very brave ^^). I don't want to ruin everything with ideas which are not mine. No influence. I resist to temptation! I'll post the following chapter as soon as possible. I was on holiday, so I need a few days to come back to the story... ^^
now i got it kat told snape that she loved him & he dumpt her what a basterd & that is whya she hates him
Author's Response: No, that's not why she hates him. More soon! Thanks for the review! ^^
haha what a brat snape is (as we dont know) & kat what a poor girl but she did tha wright thing she went to tha ball with black
and oh thank for this wonderfull stoyr i hope u can finish it soon
Author's Response: Hehe... Thanks for reading and reviewing! I'll post the next chapter as soon as possible! Promise! ^^ (I've written at least 45 chapters)...
Ok, I'm finally getting an idea of what Severus did to Kat or at least what she thinks he did.....? Maybe? I wonder what Burns is gonna make the Trio do for detention? I can't wait to see!! Thanks for updating regularly!!
Author's Response: Hi! So you're starting to understand what happened with Severus and Katarina...? Hehe... I'll update at soon as possible. In fact, I update each time I have a review... So I just need time to read my chapter a last time and add all the codes (italics, center, etc.) It's bloody annoying! I prefer writing! ^^
What a little whiner Malfoy is!! (What else is new! Ha! Ha!) So was Burns mad at Harry and gang or all of them? I think just Harry for getting caught and kinda beat. I love Neville getting points for Malfoy's hair!! I love this story! You do such a good job of blending past and present! I wish more people would review, but for some reason most people don't on this site(Lumos). If this story was on Ashwinder, (and a Severus and Hermione story, of course), you'd have a ton of reviews because you're an excellent story teller! But I really like Burns as an original! Anyway, keep up the good work!!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! It's very, very encouraging!!! ^____^ Yes, people don't review much on Lumos. They read, but they simply don't want to post a comment [Grrrr!] (but I have put a spell on the story, so people who don't review will have big pustules soon! Hehe... ^^).
About your question: I think that Burns was especially mad at the Gryffindors for getting caught and not having followed her advice in fighting. It's not all about Harry. Burns probably thinks of the day Harry and his friends went to the Department of Mysteries and fought against the Death Eaters. Burns knows that when Death Eaters attack a group of people, the victory doesn't depend on one person but on the whole group. The students must be ready to fight if they have to. They were lucky the first time...
Ok, now I'll post the next chapter! Thanks again for the review!!!
Yea! Food Fight! way to go Kat!!! always up for a bit of fun, I agree with her - 10 more pts to Neville for wounding Draco's pride! ha, ha, ha!!! hmm, wonder what the punishment(s) will be???
Author's Response: Hi! The punishment? Well, a part of the the response in Chaper 28, and the rest in Chapter 34! Hehe... ^^
Author's Response: P.S. "ChapTer." Damn edit button! X___x
I LOVE the fight scene!! Way to go Neville!!!! I'm awfully glad Severus is working on a permanent cure for Remus, poor guy. It must be hell to spend life locked up in a cage in a shack you've never cared for to begin with. At least Sirius could roam around the house when he was confined. Keep up the great work and lets see what comes up next!
Author's Response: Hi! I've just sumitted Chapter 27 to Lumos! It was Neville's day in Chapter 26!!! With a good wand, even a not-self-confident student can produce miracles and bald Draco Malfoy! And yes, that's sad for Remus to be still locked in a cage. Poor man *sniff* But... there's still hope for him! ^^
I love it! Malfoy with no hair!!! Keep up the good work!
Author's Response: Hehe... Thanks for the review. Since I've seen the "Harry Potter" movies, I'm obsessed with Draco's hair (in the first movie, he has a really strange colour, half-blond, half-orange ^^). I wanted to hurt his ego a bit... ^^ More about that Draco's hair in Chapter 27!
Author's Response: P.S. Damn, impossible to edit the Author's response and correct the "that" I forgot to erase! I feel like Dobby when he hits his head on everything!
Oh, come on!!! So close to the answer!!! You're killing me, you know that, right!? Excellent as always, even with no answer! :P and your welcome! :)
Author's Response: Hi! No clear answer for the moment... ^^ but there will be clues throughout the chapters. In Chapter 28, you'll start to understand what happened. I say "start to understand," because everything will be more and more complicated...
Dobby wore a sweater Hermione recognised as having been knitted by Mrs. Weasley. A big ?R? was placed in front, so it must have come from Ron.
She makes his sweaters maroon, not blue.
Author's Response: I know that Mrs. Weasley knitted maroon sweaters for Ron, so it's not a mistake. I deliberately chose the colour blue. Why couldn't Mrs. Weasley have made a blue sweater to Ron for a change? Is there a rule for sweaters? Maybe Ron said he'd enough of maroon or maybe Fred and George teased their mother about the sweater colours? Or maybe Mrs. Weasley didn't have enough maroon this year and used blue instead? Or maybe she just wanted to change for once, to make a surprise to Ron... ^^
What did Severus do to Burns? I'm dying to know!! Update soon, please!!
Author's Response: Hi! You won't have the answer right away, but at least Chapter 25 will be posted very soon. I've submitted it to Lumos yesterday. Thanks for the review!!!
you are welcome. i realy do enjoy the story. i cant wait to read what happens next. you have got me waiting in antisapation (i think thats how you spell it)
