<i>Exactly, which would explain why he was so determined to have her read about werewolves in PoA, well, one of them! He was pointing it out to her! </i>um, i always thought he wanted to point it to the class as a whole to hopefully get lupin sacked. though then he'd point it out to many classes as well...but if it was just for her what is the point? to have her further not support the marauders back then? because her brush with lupin was short-though i suppose there could be more to come. to cover his back to make sure she knows now so when she goes back that time back then doesnt alter? or do you mean in her present time because he is worried about her since that would be her last time in the past and thus he doesnt know how the events in his present will play out either with lupin or with an escaped black running about.  

Poor Hermione. Not only did she have to "touch it", but had to do the heartbreaking task of harvesting the foals organs, then fight off two bullies. She sure had a hard day.

ahhhh, finally some thought to compare the marauders of this time to what she knows of them in her time.Jelly-Brain Jinx - damn does that sound extremely dangerous.but her confronting lupin here about his being a werewolf makes it seem unlikely that she'd use the same words in the future. and how does that bode for when they all curse snape when he comes in. well, i guess this could change the future as we know it.but oo- i wonder what severus' thoughts will be on her knowing that lupin is a werewolf and that it was a secret she kept. 

well there goes the lupin slip. wonder if there ever will be a black or potter slip but it seems she might have that better under control since they are less likely to be brought up in conversation. but we'll see.ohhh cute, i like the time spent between them. i like hoe snape is finding  out things about himself when hermione thinks he isnt. i also like how he doesnt want to let her go and is trying to stretch time as much as possible.error: now i am to assume that Renee Lupperger is a boy as the use of masculine pronouns is in effect. however therefore his name should be Rene as the added e is to make the name feminine.

Love this story so much!!

I just have to say how much I am enjoying this fic, it just drew me in completely and I had to read it all in one sitting.. of course now I have to wait for new parts *sighs*

The "peeing incident" was very funny!  I am looking forward to seeing how Hermione and Severus' relationship will mature.  Great chapter!

Well, that was a heart-stopping nail-biter!  So much jam-packed action in one chapter!  The humor of Hermione's toilet woes, the poignant sadness of the unicorn encounter, and the action of the fight with the Marauders.  More sadness for Severus to see his friend's impending departure again.  Oh, the agony, mystery author!  When we we see them reunited in their present time, and more specifically when Hermione is of age?Another great chapter.  Keep them coming!

Oh. man, that was close. I'm so glad they managed to squeak out of it, but when will their luck run out? They've got to stop playing with fire!

I felt so sad during the whole fallen foal situation. How sad! And for the parents to watch the organ donation from their child... I hope they come up with something really awesome to do with the remains.

Thanks again for this wonderful story! Much Love ~ Brena

Omg. What a great update! I love seeing how their relationship keeps developing. Its so sweet how he doesn't want to let her go back! I also loved the back rubs! too bad she's so young! I'm off to read chapter 15! That's probably the only benefit of falling behind, not having to wait for what's next! Much Love ~ Brena

This chapter is filled with drama, sadness, and humor.  I don't know which made me laugh more; Hermione's having to pee, or Severus trying not to notice Hermione's feminine gifts when his white shirt revealed them.  Poor Severus, he really likes spending time with her, and now it's time for her to return to her own time.  I wonder if Professor Snape will recall this adventure to the forest and the battle they fought with Potter and Black.

Speaking of Potter and Black, I think it may be hard for Hermione to have to listen to all the good things people (especially Lupin and Dumbledore) tell Harry about his father and his godfather without saying anything... especially if they are criticizing Severus.  I believe she will seriously doubt the goodness of Lily, too.

The way you wrote of the death of the Unicorn foal was so well done.  I could feel Hermione's sadness, and the mare and stallion sensed it, too, by the way they responded by letting them harvest the organs so that Severus could brew healing potions.  If Severus hadn't already realized Hermione's essential goodness before, he would certainly have understood after this incredibly rare gift the mare and stallion had made to them.

The dueling between Severus and "Mulciber" against the three Gryffindors was well written and had a very fast (and believable) pace.  Severus handled himself well, and if he hadn't been worried about Hermione he might have given as good as he got.  It had to irk him that he had to Obliviate them on the outside chance that someone would have been alerted to the presence of an intruder in the castle.  Wouldn't it have been lovely if he could have hexed them into next week?

I hope they will be able to spend a little time together before Hermione goes "home."  Severus knows that this will probably be the last time he sees her until years have passed. 

I truly do love your story and look forward to each and every update!Beth

Yeah, well, I've never thought Lily was the saint everyone seems to think she is in canon.  And no, James and Sirius aren't very nice.  Poor Severus, losing his friend to time.

I can't help but think this is going to alter Hermione's future interactions with the adult Lupin and Black, which may make Harry and Ron wonder when she goes back to her own time... Also, it would be interesting to see if despite being Obliviated, this incident and Hermione/Mulciber dressing him down about his behavior turns out to be the unconscious catalyst for Lupin to start to change his ways.The unicorn encounter was heartbreaking and very well written.  Will the results of their harvesting come into play in a future chapter?  Don't say if it will spoil a surprise, but I'll be reading and waiting to find out!Sounds like Hermione will be going home again soon...

Wow! It was very close that she'd been discovered. And Severus seems very disapointed that she has to leave him. I am really curious to know how she will interact with Professor Snape once she'll be back in her time.

Another tense and heart-pounding chapter. I was on the edge of my seat.I was a bit surprised that Hermione would let slip some of the things she said to Lupin. I know it was the heat of the moment, but she should have known better.It will be very interesting to see how the adult Severus treats her this time when she gets back.

I wonder how this will affect her in the future. Nice chapter.

She has Sirius and James pegged! :)

Well, that was practically a disaster. But I really enjoyed the encouter with the unicorns. Well, it was sad, but touching in a good way.

She has every right to dislike all of those Marauders. They're not the heroes Harry thinks they are.

Oh dear. Hermione is letting to many facts about the future slip out. At least now we know where she learned all those jinxes and other spells. I just hope his keeping her ther a bit longer doesn't have any consequenses.

I enjoy this story so much...I know you are trying to imply that Hermione learned everything she knew from Snape--but she has demonstrated ability to learn spells from books, such as ocular reparo.

Do now he is thinking how best to invent a potion he has created - no, will create - and Hermione has already used on him to heal ... I love Time Travel stories :-)Oh, she let slip too much. I wonder how it is going to change her future, or even her past. Will there probably be no Professor Lupin whe she returns?Again, I like how easy they are with each other. Well done.

Showing her relief when he entered the classroom really was sweet. Too bad nobody else seemed to have shown their concern for Snape.I'm glad I have another chapter to read this evening :-)

I'm so glad he's helping her with DADA.  They do work well together.  It's so sweet the way they look out for the other.  I also like that you show how gifted Severus is at Potions.  His back pain balm ~how I'd love to have some myself at times, lol~ and acne potion tweeks are spot on with what he's doing with his life and eventually bring him to Voldemort's attention.  Good thinking to build on it in your story.  Loved this chapter.

Thank goodness Hermione has to stay hidden or there would be no more Mauraders.  Too think that some of Severus' potion idea actually came from Hermione herself.  Another good chapter.

I wonder if young Severus will think that Hermione is worried about her safety because Lupin is her teacher? I ope he doesn't do something reckless because of that assumption.
