Reviews For the Secret of Slytherin
Author's Response: The sequel, Geas of Gryffindor, is available on ff-dot-net. As it wasn't a story with Snape and Harry as the main characters, I wasn't sure it was appropriate to post here.
Thanks for all your reviews, and I hope you'll join me as I post future fic!

I adore Draco, you made me ship Drarry even though this isn't even a shippy fic, Ron is awesome and I'm so glad to find someone who doesn't Ron-bash, everyone's in-character, and the premise of the Unsorted House definitely reminded me of a very strange fanfiction plot that's been stewing in my brain for several weeks. I love it when that happens, because I'm too lazy to actually write it but I still get the satisfaction. Ten points to whatever-house-you-are/Unsorted House Author's Response: Thank you so much! The sequel is posted to ff-dot-net right now, because I wasn't sure how kosher it was to place a story here in which Snape and Harry aren't the main characters. Thanks for reading and reviewing, and I hope you'll join me as I post future fic!

So firstly I would like to say that you creeped me out for the first 15 or 16 chapters of this. They were drenched in a prevailing darkness, sense of mystery and an overwhelmingly strange feel of things not right and indeed seriously wrong. The images painted by your words were so vivid that one could hardly help but feeling echoes of the emotions woven within the threads of the story in themselves. Secondly, Draco. Good heavens man (in reference to human kind on a whole not yourself as a person as I am unaware of your gender). I was on tenterhooks and, I am mildly ashamed to admit it, for only the briefest moment for a very simple reason. There was no anxious wondering over how Draco could be dark and betray them all because I didn't realise fully until you told me and was indeed completely believing in Draco's innocence until you did see fit to tell us (masterfully done by the way) and was then promptly in denial until you had finished redeeming him. However I certainly never saw that coming. Actually I wonder did you even see that coming when you started out with Harry casting Imperio over Malfoy? Thirdly, while I was initially, and not without cause I might add, well and truly creeped out for reasons unknown at the beginning of the story by both the characters and the happenings within the story itself, the characters and the plot both were written beautifully and I, unashamedly, admit that I am well and truly enamoured with your story. I will doubtless be going back through it a few times to reread favourite parts. Here I end with another apology for the length of this review. Something I am fairly certain is meant to be a short thing and yet I could have gone so much further pulling apart the plot and characters till it resembled a university thesis paper more than a simple review. I blame the length of my rambling on my lack of sleep and as such, inadvertently, on you. Sorry. So yes, in summary awesome work, awesome story, loved it to bits and blame you for any trouble I might get in should my mum find out. Till next time, The Girl in the Corner. Author's Response: I hope your mum did not find out. In all seriousness, I am beyond flattered. And to be honest about Draco, I knew he could go either way from the beginning. However, I wasn't sure WHICH way he was going to go until a few scant chapters before the reveal. I like to be unsure myself, you see, to lead readers in both directions simultaneously. And to create characters who are struggling, themselves. If the character is struggling, writing from paradoxical two-points-of-view helps convey this. :) I should let you know that there is a sequel on ff-dot-net called 'Geas of Gryffindor' which I think you will enjoy. Happy reading!
