    ::collapses in teary giggles:: YES!! I now love birds...! Good Harry--he did what he was told, and let Snape handle Umbridge! Well--mostly. ::satisfied smirk::

    Of course, now *Ron* needs a good whalloping... Ah, well. He's certainly in character (I'm remembering fourth year--ooooh, but I wanted to smack him then, too!). I don't know if I'd prefer Harry to deal with Ron, or Snape to get involved; there's *such* potential for personal mayhem there! ::settling back to wait faux-patiently for the next chapter::

    Author's Response:

    Oh good, I've converted you! LOL!

    Yeah for once he actually LISTENED . . .mostly to Snape.

    Oh he does indeed and Molly might just give him one . . .or maybe Hermione.  Uh, if Severus got a hold of him . . .there might be some serious bodily harm done, especially if Ron started badmouthing Harry.

    Your patience has been rewarded, for the next one is posted1 Oh and thanks for the instructions about the yahoo group, I will see about getting one set up!

    Oh, I forgot something. What on Earth was that thing that killed/ate Umbridge?
    A Stymphalian Bird? Did you come up with that or did you find it somewhere?
    I thought that it was a wonderful way to kill off the Toad, by having her eaten by a gigantic bird.
    Another thing, does Hagrid know that this thing is in his forest? ;-} I was just wondering if it was another one of his "pets" ;-}

    Author's Response:

    No, it comes from Greek mythology, it's not my creation.  More about it will be learned next chapter.

    Yes, hagrid knows, but the Stymphalian Bird isn't anyone's pet.

    So happy you liked her demise.  I was originally going to have her eaten by a griffin, but changed my mind when I remember the Stymphalian Bird.

    Okay, this review is going to be a long one. ;-}

    First off, I love the line: "Now Umbridge would learn the truth all students knew-screwing with Snape was like baiting a Hungarian Horntail-either way you ended up dead."
    When I first read that I almost fell off the couch. Absolutely Brilliant!! I love it!!
    How do you come up with stuff like this? Incredible!

    I have to say I was supprised when Umbridge tried to get away by running out of the castle. Great twist, I really wasn't expecting her to do that. ;-}
    Also I have a question, you said that "she (Umbridge) threw back her head and let loose with a magically amplified banshee screech." Does this mean that the High Wicked Bigot actually had creature blood? This might explain why she is so against them and some of her looks too. ;-}

    I also loved Minerva worked it out so that Harry and Severus could work together and spend more time with each other. Her line though: "No need to thank me. I think this is both what you need." I can imagine Severus and Harry's expressions right about then. Too too funny. ;-}

    As always, Superb chapter. And I can't wait to see what happens next.

    Leilia

    Author's Response:

    That line just . . .popped into my head.  It's sheer improvisation, I don;t know where I get it from.  It's not planned. 

    It could indeed and you'll find out more about that next chapter. 

    Yes, they would have both been giving her LOOKS!

    Thanks so much and the next one;s up now!

    Oh this was wonderful and SUCH a fitting end to the toad--devoured by a HUGE preaditor bird. And I do like Minerva's detention.

    BTW--when do we get to smack Ron across the back of the head? Soon please!

    V

    Author's Response: Glad you liked.  And you can do THAT anytime you like, LOL!

    please update soon! Let Umbridge get a taste of her own medicine... her bad medicine

    They certainly did - so wonderful. The catharsis at the end had an especially nice build up - I keep expecting it happen and expecting it to happen, but the place you gave it was very nicely timed. I'm looking forward to Severus' confrontation with Umbridge. Will she find another 'crime' to blackmail him with? Will she go to Azkaban? Will all the owls gang up against her and all dive-bomb her at once until she runs out of the school? I hope you update soon!

    Author's Response: I wanted the catharsis to come in at the end of the chapter, after they had finally talked and Harry had forgiven Severus, because then he would feel comfortable leaning on Sev emotionally.  Sev's confrontation with Umbridge ought to be great fun! You'll see what happens to her in the next post!

    Author's Response: Your wish is my command! Thank you!

    Great chapter! I loved it when Severus hugged Harry and called him fledgling. Such a beautiful moment.

    Author's Response: Aww, I loved that part too!

    When I don't think you can surprise me any more, you do. When Sev called Harry "fledgling." I was smiling and crying at the same time, I was so moved. This chapter was perfect!

    Dancingkatz

    Author's Response: Thanks that makes me feel great.  I wasn't sure if it was too mushy, but I guess not.  Sev calling him fledgling made me tear up too! And now you can see what happens with Umbridge!
