Oh I can just imagine Snape handing out cartons of milk but you forgot about the graham crackers or is that an American thing?

Oh poor Harry! Just when things were starting to look up a little! And as for your Chapter notes, I'm very sorry to hear that you won't be posting anymore stories. I most certainly always look forward to reading the new chapters. Did you update all three chapters in one day? Because this is the first time I got a notification that you updated after your previous chapter...Does that make any sense? Another thing is that a lot of reviewers don't always leave reviews because author's don't respond to them. I have had personal experience with leaving reviews and asking questions and not getting a response in return. I'm sure you've had similar experiences as well. But for the future, I do hope that your readers will leave more reviews because I really enjoy all your stories and I look forward to every chapter that you post. Don't give up on us entirely! :) Hope to hear from you soon
Things are decidedly not looking up and I'm starting to seriously worry that you actually meant that they're going to stay down there for 21 days! That's seems pretty impossible! I really hope everything turns out alright and I'm really enjoying Severus's gradual change in feelings towards Harry...I'm hoping it leads to somewhere paternal (hinthint) ;) Anyways you did a phenomenal job as always! Moving onward!

Sorry for not reviewing sooner, but I resd fanfiction on my mobile and reviews are complicated to write on the device. Nevertheless I really like this story and I hope to read more soon.

Loved it. Don't be discouraged by the low reviews. It is Spetember and that usually means back to school among other thigns like work, though there's always work. Once everyone's settled into their routine, it'll pick up. Your story has always been interesting and intriguing. So please don't stop posting, I for one would be grieving for such a loss. Update soon
You know until I read another person's review I did not even realize that your native language wasn't english. (And yes I have been on your ff.net page. In fact, its bookmarked.) You write very well for not being a native of the language, probably better than some native speakers. Even some who write here and definitely better than some on ff.net. Yes, I agree an beta might pick up things like names mispelled such as Blaise (Looks over at another review for this chapter), however name spelling have never bothered me since different countries spell names differently. (For example, my grandmother's native country occasionally leds her to spell my name as Aleksandra, not Alexandra.) So I unconsciously believed that was just how the name was printed in whatever country you lived in. (I mean words are spelled differently from England to the US, let alone in non-english speaking countries.) *shakes head* Back on topic.
As for reviews dropping off. A lot of people are currently going back to school, starting school, going on family outings for holidays, and other things that are going on in their lives, so it makes sense around this time a year that reviews drop off. Especially in stories go off of the recently updated page soon. On ff.net the person wanting to read the story only has to page back to the date it was entered. Here, after 10 days they have to re-find it. Even if this isn't the case, the site has a lot smaller population on it than ff.net.
I'd be sad to see you stop posting here, despite reading your stories on ff.net. Plus I'd love to see how this community perceives the Room of Requirement story.
Did you know I did not even realize that you answered reviews on the review page in a review you post? Honestly I rarely read author's pages except to find stories I really like or to connect to series stories. Never occurred to me.
Now on to my review of the story. I laughed when I read the part about the teenagers taking naps like pre-schoolers and Snape thinking about passing out cartons of milk. I wonder did that story of yours come out of that particularly comment or is it the former breding the latter? I gained a better understanding of how you perceive how Harry looks in this chapter (i.e. how tall he is and how old he looks.)The Merlin story was cute and reminded me slightly of Mary Stewarts' series about him.
I'm assuming that Ron is the one who threw the beetle eye in Harry's potion? Is there a way we can punish him severely? Too bad spells don't work down there since it would be wonderful if a three fold spell could be used on the boy. Has your evilness made Harry permanently blind?
Looking forward to more.
(PS- I learned a long time ago to go by how many people read and favorite or just plain read my stories rather than review. A lot of times I've found people here don't review until the story is finished but read it faithfully until that point when they feel they can review. Any way you choose to see it is fine. Just know I'm looking forward to more. *grins*)

I think the falloff in reviews might be due to a combination of the slowness of the plot with your uncertain command of English. Please don't misunderstand: it's fantastic that you write so well in a language not your own; I certainly couldn't. And I understand that the constraints of the story's situation limit the possibilities of varied action. But the repetitiveness of the scenario makes what was at the beginning a charming idiosyncrasy start to get a little wearing. I suggest you get a good beta to smooth out your syntax, coordinate your tenses, and correct spelling mistakes (such as of the name Blaise). It's a good story, don't give up on it.
