Oh this is just way to wonderful.

It's very cute. I like your placing of everyone in houses, and how they didn't trust the non-trusters even after they trusted them *giggle* if that made any sense at all ;)

Thanks. I had several reasons for dividing everyone into different houses, the major one was that their differences is one of the reasons that the Scoobies were so strong a group--they each brought something different to the table. And yes, it did made sense in a very tangled way about them not trusting the wizards despite the fact that they were willing to trust them in the first place.

Just because Willow didn't start it, doesn't mean it wasn't her how made the 'mind'-link, after Buffy gave her a signal.

There are many possibilities, I just gave my favorite two theories on it. Thanks for reviewing

Interesting. I like it.
Oh BTW it's not "gies", it's "geas"

My husband is into all sorts of Earth-magic stuff and AD&D gaming, and is always correcting my spelling on magic lingo. ;-)

Thanks. And thanks for correcting me, my wiccan friend read it before I posted it and didn't notice it.

A very interesting way to consider the Scoobies as adults. I can't say I'm terribly fond of the wizarding world, but they have been fighting, however incompetently or misguidedly (take your pick) for a long time, and paranoia is highly contagious. While I would be interested in reading more of this verse, I am glad you didn't rely on the hat to show the order members were reliable because the Scoobies would have no reason to trust the hat.

So.... where did Remus learn Hebrew?

Thanks.

And Remus knowing Hebrew was an inconsistency on my part, since its been so long since I updated I forgot I had him getting the gist of what was said, my outline said he recognized praying and thought he'd mistook the spell for a prayer. Thanks for pointing it out.

Interesting, i do like this but some of the characters reactions seem a bit toned down or low-key.

Still on the whole a very nice start :)

Thanks. Part of the reason the reactions are toned down is I don't want this to slide completely into the realm of bashing; as it is my dislike of the wizarding society in general is showing through.

Very interesting story, I liked hearing about how and why you placed the Scoobies where you did.

//“What makes you think we’ll trust you?” Buffy asked.//

I'd definitely like to hear the hat sort the Order members. Wonder if he'd placed them in the same houses? If the Order wants the Scoobies help with Voldemort, they'd need to prove their trustworthiness, after all...

I think the Scoobies wouldn't trust a hat, escpecially a magical talking hat that belongs to someone who forced them to spill their secrets.

“What makes you think we’ll trust you?” Buffy asked.
* snicker *

Well the Order didn't tust somene who helped them out, so why should the Scoobies trust someone whot forced them to spill their secrets?

'Now the shoe is on the other foot' or 'the other foot has dropped'. I think it is the first saying. Anyway I like it.

Yes and thanks.

And now for the truth spells, Willow-style!!!! Excellent!!!

Yep.. the Scoobies allowed the Order to 'interigate' them and now its the Scoobies turn to interigate the order.

::cheers:: As good as I'd hoped, I love the quotes, perfect. Keep up the truly excellent work.

P.S. - Can I pout about Baraq? I've missed that one...

Thank you, as always, I appreciate your reviews. I'm glad you like it. Feel free to pout about Barag, I was earlier, I hope to update it next.

Cool story!! I can't wait for when Willow puts on the hat.

Thanks. She'll be soon

Dedicated to me? How awesome! Thanks. I liked the Giles chapter, and I'm sure Willow's will be just as interesting. Thanks for finishing the story. It would have been a shame to let one so good stay undone.

Your welcome. I figure since I have four WIPs I will update the oldest first, so Barag should be next, then Muggle Cousin, and such.

::chuckles softly:: I think your purposely making me wait to here what it says about Willow. Excellent work, as always your writing brings a smile to my face.

lol. Personally I think Willow would have been the last to go, especially in light of her past. I'm glad your enjoying it. Hopefully it won't take me as long to write the next chapter, but my muses tend to disappear for long streches of time or come up with something completely different that wouldn't work in something I've already gotten started.

I say have Willow do some aura reading on the morons. After all, if They have a right to know if they're trustworthy, so are the Scoobs. If they refuse, I expect bloodshed. Lots of it.

As I've said before it will be quite likely that the Scoobs will return the favor in one way or another, and I am planning to have Willow leave a parting gift with the hat.
