    “So, Sebastian, at least you and I aren’t alone as new professors,” Switch exclaimed, “misery loves company after all.” Severus decided he didn’t like him. “Tell me, I haven’t heard of you, what have you been doing have you been abroad?” Severus decided he outright disliked him.- Best ever. I can just feel Snape's hatred for the man with each passing word. WONDERFUL! XD

    “Are you by any chance related to our Harry Potter?” Severus decided he didn’t much like Flitwick either.- Poor man! XD

    I find these new teachers interesting, especially this Blenheim...he could be a bit of trouble...though I don't know why, just a feeling. Parkinson and Malfoy are disgusting together. >_< Draco can be okay, but the two of them together is just gross. But I'm interesting in where this goes...

    Another goody! :D

    Author's Response: Writing Snape trying to socialize is far more fun than it should be.

    I find Malfoy and Parkinson a hilarious, and yes, repugnant, villain couple.  Stalk was one of my favorite almost OCs when writing this.  He made such a excellent Slytherin head of house.  Like throwing the cat amongst the pidgins permanently.

    Hmm, very interesting ending. I wonder if any of them...read malfoy and the others will follow, will comply.

    I can see Harry eventually breaking up with Ginny. He doesn't like her insulting Snape...doesn't matter that he once did the same thing with a vengeance. I know she went through hell the last year, but so did Neville and he doesn't seem to be bleating too badly about it. Sad really, I usually love Harry and Ginny but this Ginny doesn't seem very nice and Harry is too pro-Eileen. They are not on the same page.

    You said in a review reply that Harry was quite powerful, but he is still fairly clueless in class...well, certainly comapred to Hermione. Of course, who isn't. It must be galling though to have to transfigure butterflies and upside glasses into potted palnts after what they have done over the last year.

    I wonder if Belby is the fraud that Severus thinks. I would say yes.

    Can't wait to read about the first DADA lesson with father and son in the same class.

    Author's Response:

    Seeing as you have the whole fic in front of you to read, you might want to stop speculating about things that are answered therein, especially as my answers are public.  I will say that I try to keep everything pretty close to canon.

    Power =/= finesse.  Harry has power, and he tends to (as canon tells us) get good marks, and also eventually get the spells he's supposed to learn.  Hermione gets them a lot faster, and tends to have a lot of finesse.  Neville methinks has a lot of power and even less finesse.  Since I'm postulating that there are a lot more spells on the course curriculum than the ones we see, which is the logical conclusion to reach given Harry's growing spell knowledge throughout the books and also the sheer number of useful spells the average Hogwarts graduate knows, if Harry follows the canon pattern, he would be competent at those spells as well, especially as he's better at Charms than Transfiguration.  Harry, also, I can't see caring much.  After the war, he feels a little bit dissociated, and doesn't realize it.

    Oh yes, Belby is quite the fraud.
