| It is very well written, and I understand the conclusion, but unlike the uncomfortable feeling I had all the previous chapters, somehow I don't feel it. It feels like Severus was forcibly changed into something regular, so he would fit into a typical box now that he doesn't have the excuse of spying that gave him the right to be different. While he was far from accommodating sunshine, it feels that he lost some of his individuality along the way. It didn't feel like he was actually changing the house, etc. At least for me, it didn't feel like he was opening up and adding to this house's life because of it, because he allowed some of him individuality to shine through, it felt like he was stripped of anything that prevented him from fitting in, so he would be accepted as soon as he became standard, like everybody else, but not a minute before.
But as I said before, it was very well written and quite realistic for the most part. |

| Why didn't Hermione say any of it beforehand? She knew it wouldn't lead to good results and it would be sporting to share her opinion after he shared his. It sounds a bit like a trap to make him suffer during the ball and then to basically guilt him for not supporting her. I just don't see the point of it. If she is so mature at her ripe age of 19, why can't she tell him: I don't want to go, but I can't afford to because I need it for my efforts to succeed, I would be thankful if you decided to support me, but you don't have to if it's too much for you. I understand that the author needs the drama, but I don't quite see how it is justified within the story. |

| You are very good at creating an uncomfortable feeling in the reader. But some things seem a bit over the top. Like Hermione playing her music, and invading her neighbour's privacy, but expecting him to deal with it. Anyway, there seems to be a constant feeling that Snape is expected to completely change and if something isn't comfortable for him, then it's purely his problem, while all the other live their lives the way they want.
As to the elimination of the system of houses, l've seen this idea a number of times before, but it is never convincing. I don't believe Malfoy as he was in school would be any more inclined to side with Harry if they lived together. People manage to hate each other just fine even living in the same dormitory. People also tend to creat alliances for something or against something whether they live in one dormitory or not. It would be far more important to teach them to work with each other from day one whether they live together or not, rather than change a regular school structure and expect miracles.
Sorry, I guess it's just a sore spot for me. |

| I love how you've written Snape. Such innocent presumptuousness! He reminds me of a cat! |

| Like that he uses her grapefruit shampoo. And that he can't get a grip on her musical choices : D I understand that. It's how I feel about my husband's predilection for PENTATONIX. THAT I can NOT understand. Sorry, Pentatonix fans. Sorry. |
