  5. F you for diabling anon comments on our live journal...I''ll find somehwere else where to post my GREAT review..while I am NOT asleep

  6. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 26 Review reply to loves evil tom: I am glad you are enjoying this fic thus far! Ah, dark humor is my favorite, too, all the way up there with sarcasm. =) Thanks for the compliment! *giggles* Yes, she did kiss him first ... though without too much experience. I am happy you find Draco in character. His POV was surprisingly easy to write, so I have to admit that I had a lot of fun writing them. Therefore, I am glad you enjoyed it, too. I am glad you found the turn of events logical. Thinking of getting jinxed will certainly be easier on the mind than the other tortures that might happen. Merlin forbid Draco start hyperventilating on the floor because of that . *nods* That was quite the train of thought I was thinking along, too. The last time they consulted a professor, they got sent searching for Horcruxes on their own without professors assisting them. So ... perhaps not the best idea. And yes, Tom has been keeping up a wonderful facade around those *cough*gullible*cough* professors, so it would probably harm the four transfer students more than help them. Glad you liked how Tom dragged Hermione to his Dorm. *giggles* Well, he did do what the other primitives do to their mates, too *shifty eyes*. Yes, Hermione is definitely going to be ... troublesome. But we shall see. After all, Tom is never going to admit that it is rape, due to the properties of the spell he had used. Glad you liked how Hermione Cruciated Tom. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
  7. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 26 Review reply to missprez2007: Thanks for the compliment! Ahh ... Harry, Ginny, and Draco’s reactions should be ... interesting. Thanks for reading and reviewing, and I will try to update soon!
  8. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 26 Review reply to Deea101: Glad you liked the smut! Mmm, I changed it now. Thanks for pointing it out to me, since this scene was more of a sudden idea thing. The problem with AFF is that they only have a limited amount of characters, and they won’t let you add more codes if your original summary plus codes exceeds 240 characters. Mm, don’t worry about it. I don’t mind constructive criticisms and/or debates, as long as they’re not flames. In regards to the questions you have mentioned in your reviews, I actually do have my reasons for writing them the way I did, and I would like to point them out. Please be assured that I do not mean to push my opinions on you, and even if you do not agree with me completely, I will not take offense. I just wanted to state my reasons here. I figure it might be easier if I just bold your questions and answer them, so be prepared for quite a slightly longer review: “I find Hermione's actions in this chapter absolutely laughable. Alright, so Draco tells her that he's being tortured for hours and what does she do? Tells a teacher? No.” - This might have seem like a feasible plan, but when it comes to the Potterverse, this is actually something they never did after the first book. During the first book, if I remember correctly, they have gone to look for McGonagall to tell her about the Sorcerer’s Stone, but she did not believe them and ordered them to run along. Now, I do believe that this incident must have caused quite an “impression” in their eleven-year-old minds, since after this, you hardly see them running off to teachers when something happens. Yes, Hermione did suggest for Harry to go see Dumbledore when he was being tortured by Umbridge, but did he? No. But the important part of this was that Hermione had not bothered to seek out a teacher, too. In the following year, Hermione had not bothered to report it to a teacher when she was suspicious about the Half-blood Prince’s book either. Therefore, it will be illogical for her to find professors, here in the forties, when the teachers are so obviously under Riddle’s thumb. Hermione knows that. And Dippet was known to be incredibly fond of Riddle. Even Gareth and Joseph told them that the first day they arrived in school. So, finding a teacher will not be an option. “Tells Harry and Ginny and asks for advice? No.” - This might have seemed like an option in other situations, but not for Hermione during this time. She had just gotten into a sort of argument with Harry and Ginny because they were trying to control her from going to the library. If she had gotten them alert about Draco’s torture, they would have even more reason to restrict her. Not to mention the fact that she could not reason with them why Draco would be tortured. She does not want to tell them that she had snogged Tom. Another thing that might worry her is Harry and Ginny’s reactions. Would they really care about what was going on with Draco? Harry had wanted Hermione to ignore Draco since the first day they had arrived in the forties. There were no reasons for Harry to change his stance. In fact, he might just laugh it off as something that would happen to Draco everyday anyway for being in Slytherin House. Makes a plan to shove Veritaserum down Riddle's throat while Dippet is in the same room? No. - If I remember correctly, there is actually an antidote to Veritaserum. There is nothing stopping Tom from taking the antidote before the Veritaserum was slipped into his drink. Especially considering the fact that he would be awfully suspicious if Hermione tried to pull him to the Headmaster’s Office. There is nothing stopping him from lying, and as I have mentioned, Dippet is awfully fond of Tom. The use of Veritaserum is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, and so Dippet will most likely be unwilling to use it on his favorite student just because of some random accusations of newcomers. And according to harrypotter.wikia.com: “Despite being the most powerful truth serum there is, it can still be resisted through different methods, including the taking of the antidote and Occlumency, and it is no more reliable for wizards than a polygraph machine is for Muggles, and for the exact reasons. Because some wizards and witches can resist its effects and others cannot, Veritaserum is “unfair and unreliable to use at a trial”, and thus cannot be used as definite proof of guilt or innocence. Another weakness is that the victim only states what they believe to be true, so the victim’s sanity and perception of reality also factor in during interrogations. This is the main reason why Barty Crouch Jr.’s testimony was not credible, as he was clearly insane.” Another thing that is troublesome is that Tom can always claim afterwards that Hermione Confounded him to say things that he did not mean. Being a former student of Durmstrang (as Hermione and the others were pretending to be), it would be something that was believable to Dippet. And no one liked to believe that they are wrong. So, Dippet and the professors would rather believe that their previous opinions of Tom was correct, and these four new students are troublemakers. Instead, she goes to TALK to Riddle! She wants to REASON with the future Lord Voldemort, the guy who already killed Moaning Myrtle and split his soul, the guy who will kill countless of innocent people in the future! I know Hermione is an idealist but this is bordering on stupidity. - I certainly would have agreed that under normal circumstances, this would have been considered stupid on Hermione’s part. However, she had been under stress (breaking up with Tom, Harry and Ginny coming back and keeping an eye on her, the Slytherin Banshees, etc.), and Hermione had been known to be rash when she is stressed. When she was back in third year, she knew what kind of influence Lucius Malfoy had over the Ministry and Hogwarts. Yet, she still slapped Draco. When it comes to her friends, she is willing to sacrifice herself and take chances. And then she enters a room where she sees a tortured Draco collapsed on the floor. My first reaction would be to run and call a teacher. Or try to stun Ridle when he turned his back and run with Draco's body. But nooo, she tries to EXPLAIN to Riddle that Draco is a human being and doesn't deserve this. For crying out loud, she's trying to make a guy who killed his parents see the wrong in his ways! No wonder he crucio-ed her, that's the only in character reaction in the whole bloody scene. - Actually, she would not have been able to run out of the common room even if she had wanted to. Tom was pulling her throughout the length of the Slytherin common room, all the way up to his dorm. So ... running off to find a professor or hexing Tom were not actually options here. Additionally, Hermione ... well, she is not very practical all of the time. Recall the times when she had tried to get everyone else to see her point of view regarding house-elves, when it was obvious that wizards, witches, AND house-elves did not want all house-elves to be free. But what did she do? She continued trying to trick house-elves into freeing themselves. She was certainly not being practical here, and everyone tells her that. But she does not listen. Another part that bothered me: Draco's thoughts during the interrogation. I mean, if he tells Riddle about the future that could bring doom to the whole Wizarding World and the deaths of countless people, possibly including his parents. But he's more worried that Hermione will hex "SNEAK" onto his forehead.. Sigh. - Actually, I thought that those points were more like a given. Draco knows these facts already, and he honestly did not want to think of those more horrifying consequences. These were actually the reasons why he had not heaved in the first few times he had gotten Cruciated by Tom (the scenes that I had not written out and were mentioned by Draco to Hermione). However, I did not want to be repetitive, in regards to Draco’s reasons, because he would have undoubtedly thought of these things in his previous encounters with the future Dark Lord. So yeah, I'm sorry this wasn't a nicer review, but if didn't like this story so much I wouldn't have bothered to write it (if that makes sense). If you feel like posting a reply (nice or not) I'll be checking the your review reply page, also Deea101 is the name of my lj account. - Meh, don’t worry about it. I do appreciate that you have taken the time to write a long review. Hopefully, I have cleared things up in regards to why I had written the chapter this way. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
  9. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 26 Review reply to Mr. Galion: No problem! Ahahaha~ I am glad you enjoyed the torture scene. *giggles* Well, I cannot say she is *completely* evil, since she was provoked ... both times. Although the second one would have worked better than the first. Buahaha ... ROTFLMAO! Well, it is kind of gross if she does bite a flesh out of Tom. Eh ... she wants him to feel pain, but she’s not that much of a masochist yet. LOL, well, their situation is kind of ... complicated. Hermione thinks it’s rape, but Tom doesn’t. So ... I will explain more why in the next chapter. *giggles* Now, I don’t think Hermione will like it too much if Tom were to tell everyone about their relationship, especially with Monkey Wrench and Carrot Stew back in school. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
  10. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 26 Review reply to magentasouth: Thanks for the compliments! I am glad you liked Tomione scene and Draco’s torture scene! Tom ... *drools* . Although I would have to admit, I do not want to be in Draco’s shoes. *shivers* I will try to update as soon as possible. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
  11. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 25 Review reply to Mr. Galion: "Wee Thank you for the email." - No problem about it! "I saw that and just had to read." - Hope you've enjoyed the chapter! "Thank you for the quick update." - No problem. "How many people can go pinning after Hermione?" - That's what Draco's wondering, too. "After my last review been thinking of her as princess Leia and was wondering if she'd kiss her own brother. Then I realized she be an only child. V.v Oh well's Kissing Malfoy in front of Tom will have to do.*chuckle* It was just for sweet revenge. >.> Alphard stealing a kiss in front of Tom would work too. Like right after a quidditch match. who else can she manipulate Tom into getting rid of until the secret is so obvious that dense Harry has to see it." - *giggles* Well, Tom is definitely jealous right now, especially when she called it quits with him. Not a smart move to do to a future Dark Lord, but *snnnrks* I doubt Harry sees through it, too. "Oh I have a solution to your Cliffe! Draco stands in front of the Dark Lord. Tom: "Draco you will not hang around my girlfriend" Draco: "WHAT?!?!" Tom: "Crucio" Draco: "She's a mudblood" Tom: "Don't call my girlfriend names""Crucio" Draco: "She has muggle parents!" Tom: "She's a witch and that is all that matters" "Crucio" again Draco: "Owwies" Tom: "Now treat her like a princess"" - *gigglesnorts* "No idea where to go from there. Which is probably why my stories never leave the first page. Oh wells" - No worries. I laughed pretty hard when I read it. Great scene . "Thank you for the update. Wish to read again soon." - No problem. Thanks for reading and reviewing, and I'll try to update soon. ~Serp
  12. Prisms of Darkness - Chapter 10 (Maelstorm II) Review reply to mrequecky: Glad you enjoyed the chapter! Thanks for reading and reviewing!
  13. Prisms of Darkness - Chapter 10 (Maelstorm II) Review reply to magentasouth: Thanks for the compliment! I do hope future chapters will be up to par to what you have in mind. Thanks for reading and reviewing! ~Serp
  14. Well, I was innocent, until I met the Corrupter. Well, no matters, as long as we're working towards letting our Lord win. *snnrks* You probably know about me and my opinion of sex. I mean, I completely agree about the murder, torture, and stuff. No, that won't give scars. Just like those seemingly innocent fairy tales we tell children. *rolls eyes* Not yet. *gigglesnorts* You'll know when there's smut. Thanks for the compliment! *blushes* Yeah. You really, really do love Dwaco. *snorts* ~Serp
  15. Somewhere in Time - Chapter 24 Review reply to ViolettMichelle: "This is an amazing story." - Thanks for the compliment! "I've never read a Hermione/Voldemort story, so I was kinda iffy about reading this, but I'm so glad I am." - Not totally sure you've boarded the ship yet, but nonetheless, welcome to the Tomione ship . "The pacing makes it more realistic. Not like other fanfiction where the charactes are head over heels in the first three chapters." - I think it would be hard for Hermione to put down her personal differences when she first meets Tom, so she would have to experience the other sides of him, the charming and intelligent side of him. Tom, on the other hand, would need to feel an interest towards Hermione before he starts becoming obsessive towards her. Therefore, I've chosen the slower pacing, so I'm glad you liked it. "Please update soon ?" - Hope you like the new chapter, since I'm guessing you've gotten the link to here from the newest chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing! ~Serp
