    I've always loved this story. Harry seems very real in it. Seeing Snape and Lupin's relationship through Harry's eyes is sin interesting in your fic, it seems mysterious to the reader as well, just catching one or two moments that illuminate why they are together.

    There's a few stories that I've kept track of in the hope that they might be finished one day, it's so nice that yours is continuing. Thank you.

    I look forward to the next part!

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm glad you like it so far. I definitely enjoy writing it.

    What a nice treat to see a new chapter. I feel so bad for Harry and you are really making me hate Ron and his brothers.

    Author's Response: Thanks! Don't hate Ron and the twins. Even Harry admits to himself that he would have been horrible to Hadrian. They haven't actually done anything to him, yet, and Harry has no real evidence that it's him they're plotting against. In the next few chapters Harry and Ron will get to have a private conversation and readers will get to see what's been going on behind the scenes for Ron. It's too easy to forget that Harry isn't the only one having a miserable time.

    Ooh, so glad for an updated. Oh no! I hope that the jinx on the position won't kill Lupin in the end, but not all of them died, did they?

    Anyway, I am worried about what the Weasleys are up to and worried that they are trying to frame Harry with the book's disappearance.

    Curious to see what happens next.

    Author's Response:

    Ooh, great guess! Harry will be afraid that's what they're up to, too. He's getting really paranoid, not knowing what they're up to.

    The jinx on DADA always had the quality of a runaway rumor. Everyone knows about it, but no one is exactly sure what it does, other than make it impossible for anyone to teach longer than a year. Malfoy doesn't have the whole story either, of course, he's just retelling the version of the rumor that he knows. The jinx is real, but if even Dumbledore couldn't remove it, how can anyone (who isn't Voldemort) say they know the truth? Harry's guess is as good as anyone else's when it comes to Lupin being in danger or not.

    I've been interested in the jinx for a long time. It's one of those things that are kind of slippery. Just when you think you have an idea about how it would work, you remember something else and it wrecks your theory. I wrote an little essay about it once, but ended up not posting it because it was incomplete. I think I'll dust it off and post it on my lj now that I remember it.
