You are both an excellent writer and quite evil. Well, maybe evil is too harsh. I started reading Tears-HBP and stopped at the final chapter of Tears-DH.  I suppose you get no amount of pleasure by producing an exceedingly well written story just to end it on a cliff hanger and disappear for years. Are you sure you're not a wand waving, gay centenarian with a predilection for outlandish robes?

Reading this a second time and very excited for the possibility of a third installment! This is one of my favorites, your writing is beautiful and believable. You seamlessly weave this story in with canon, it's fantastic! Very eager for PT3! xoxox

Dude it's almost 2012.
Part 3 please.
Awesome take on the story. Please finish.

I can't wait for the sequel!  I agree with previous reviewer - RST already!  ;)

I really liked the scene with the Horcrux.  Very well done!

Oh, now that is gorgeous.  Just breathtaking.

I read your other reviews, and although I love this story, I agree that you did not quite make it clear that she knew Snape *had* to be the one to be there.  The way it's written, it seems like she knew he was in the tent.  I had assumed she was just faking sleep, but in that case, if she wanted to talk to him so badly, why didn't she?  Now I know (from your other responses) that she just "knew" he was there because she knew he had to be the one to show Harry where the sword was, but I think you could have made this clearer.  That said, again, it's a great story, and I loved the Phoenix Song, too.  I'd have to say these are some of my favorite HG/SS stories!  I'm so glad you are posting them.

You tell him, Hermione!  Old Bastard Dumbledore.  :(

I like how you've got a logical solution to the whole dead/coming back to life thing.  Awesome.

NOOOooooOOOooooo!  Don't die Snape! 

W00t!  Congratulations on the om nom nomination!  </silliness>

Go Team Snape/Hermione! 

Awesome chapter! 

Neville is teh awesome and I wish JK had spent more time on him and Hogwarts.

'“Be careful, Severus,” remarked Albus’ portrait unnecessarily. “You’re treading on dangerous ground.”'  Well, I'd have smashed a hole through his portrait at that.

If it were up to me, Hermione would be team leader.  Book 7 would have been better that way - thank goodness for your fanfiction!

Ron and his chess pieces are made of EPIC WIN. 

Oh, Hermione, you'd need to hit him over the head with a cluebat before he got it that you want his company!

Aunt Bellatrix?  Oh, dear, poor Jocelyn...at least she had the sense to contact Snape!

Looking forward to the next chapter! 

Did I miss a chapter somewhere?  I was a little jarred with this chapter - it seemed to jump forward - but maybe it's me misremembering Book 7.

I'm glad you've taken the angle that Draco was being deliberately obtuse in not IDing the trio.  I always tholught that Draco was being intensly intelligent in the way he handled that scenario is Book 7.  If he said it was Potter then Voldemort would be summonded immediately and they would all die - if he said it wasn't Potter then they woul,d all be killed anyway.  By not being "sure" he was able to prolong their lives until something happened.

And I love how you've shown Draco starting to own up to the task of being a big brother.  ^_^

Oh, holy crap Voldemort is creepy, getting all Superman/Peter Pan on Severus.  "Think happy thoughtssssss, Ssssseverus!  Only then can you fly!"  Creepy! 

Good old Hooch, proving once again that Lesbians are smarter!  Or something.  XD

AWESOME chapter, yet again. 

Oh excellent!  It's a good thing Hermione is friends with Kingsley - now the information can start flowing.

Blow Voldemort up?  Really?  Really?  While I imagine that would be fun I don't see how that will work in the long run, Mr. PM.

It's awesome that Vector and Snape got to met up and exchange information!

Its a good thing Jocelyn handled herself well in front of Voldemort and didn't do anything I would have.  Like gone up to him and sat on his lap and hugged him and called him Grampa Voldie and told him what I wanted for Christmas.  Nagini would have been well fed at least.

Severus Snape is surrounded by idiots.  Dangerous, dangerous idiots.  ^_^

But at least now he has Grangers hair and the trio has the sword.  And thank goodness you've not made Ron a complete idiot!

Another excellent bridge chapter!  It's a good thing she only used half the dose of anti-venom, isn't it?  Can't wait for the next chapter! 

I like this chapter!  So Hermione was awake when Snape took her hair.  Too bad Ron get's the anger taken out on him, although I suppose he does redeem himself after their escape.  Dumbledore is seriously an asshole and Harry falls for it every time.  Every time.  The boy does not learn!  Good thing Hermione is around. 

Oh noes!  Detention in the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid!  Well, it could have been worse: Snape could have sent them to Honeydukes with 50 galleon gift certificates each.  XD

I like how you've used the Deluminator as a point of connection at this point.  Very clever!  Also, Dumbledore is a f*cking asshole. 

A nice bridge chapter to move throught the transition between Grimmauld Place and ::sigh:: the woods.  I hated the woods.  But I have a feeling you'll make the woods worthwhile! 

"Dread scratched across the back of Severus’ neck like a feather."  Love this line.  Love it.

One of my favorite chapters so far.  I do so love Daddy Severus.  Good play to let others assume that she is Lucuis' bastard.  I wonder how that will play off in the upcoming chapters? 

Yay!  You tell 'em Miss Granger! 

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE WRITING A 'NEXT INSTALLMENT.'  or, that you've threatened to.  biiiiig happy face here.  I will be waiting with baited breath.  in addition to the continuing adventures of Severus (especially the founders' wards) and hermione (and her parents), I really hope to see what happens to Draco and Jocelyn.  I absolutely fell in love with Jocelyn, and I can't wait to find out where she goes.  Thank you for such an utterly amazing and well-written story.  <3
