Poor Hermione.  I love the way she got Severus and Remus to interact and I can't wait to see what changes she wrought. 

I'm very much enjoying this story. Your characterization seems to be very close to my imagining of both Severus and Lupin at that time in their lives.

::gaspy breath in::  Well, sure, no cliffhanger this time, just pausing for breath in the middle of a gripping story. Pausing for breath, then pleading a bathroom break.  Then deciding to make some coffee.  And some bread.  Yeast bread.  Then running out for some Chinese food.  Then stopping for coffee and a chat with friends.  Then days go by...

I wonder how the future has changed due to her actions.  Will things be different with her emotional revelation?

That was scary in the beginning!  Poor Lupin - I am glad that it all worked out (Whew!).  I am guessing that Hermione really screwed up time...if nothing else, Ron will no longer be a considering factor in a potential relationship between Hermione and Severus.  Maybe?  Am I warm?  Hmm...Great chap!

Wait just a second, missy. Just because there's no "cliffhanger", per se, doesn't mean that you haven't just torn our hearts out and stomped all over them. Just like Severus's heart.

I will, of course, continue to read this incredibly well-written and wonderful story. But I am very sad at the moment. (of course, as an author you want your readers to have rather distinct emotional reactions, do you not?)

Great story!  You really have my heart bleeding and my stomach churning for Severus....I can't wait to see how things in the future have changed as I'm sure they will. 

This story has me so intrigued...please update soon!

Your story is so intriguing that the end of every chapter is a cliffhanger, intentional or not! I really want to know what her own natural time is like... and hopefully Ron isn't a part of it!

ooooh, more!

And now I understand why it was said that their situation had to get worse, before it could improve. Woo! What a chapter. Glad to see that the next is already in the queue!

I never imagined that a jacket glowing could mean hope - but hey - I'll take it!  Sort of a sad chap, but not really - I liked how everyone got closer due to the circumstances.  I also have to applaud you for coming up with one of the most creative ways to do away with a character.  It positively screams James Bond! - if there were werewolves in a James Bond film - I could see the villian using this method to do away with James and his lovely female companion.  Trust me, I am giving you a high compliment.  Great chap!

LOL... even if it's not a cliffhanger, I'm still eagerly awaiting the next chapter as if it were. :D

Absolutely Loved the dream sequence!!!  Glad the Aurors didn't find the phial...can't wait to find out what they wish for. 

Kiss her through the bars!!So, I just started reading this story and what a place to leave me at!  I can't wait for your next chapter and hope you post it soon!!!  I've really enjoyed your story.  I love how you are weaving the canon facts in with your own future in mind.

OOOHHHH.  Very nice.  Tense, suspenseful, sweet.  And a glimmer of hope!  Very nice.

Absolutely brilliant chapter!Not only is your plot fascinating but your writing is excellent too!Please update soon.

Noo.... don't stop now! lolI love your story..I'm completely hooked, so please update soon. :)

Oh wow what a good chapter - whatever is in Severus jacket better working fast because if Lupin is whimpering - time to change is not far away. I cannot wait for the next chapter - I am on pins and needles - yikes.

That was a sweet chapter.  The circumstances were horrible, but the interactions were really quite lovely. 

What a creative way to kill people. If found out, they could always claim that they didn't know Remus was a werewolf, especially since they never asked for their names.Now I'm really curious as to why Severus's jacket is glowing. Hopefully he didn't forget about something he possessed, because then he'd feel rather stupid. Maybe his thinking of Dumbledore is going to protect them. If they do wind up in front of Dumbledore, I wonder how they're going to explain Hermione.I'm glad that Severus has started realizing that Lily might not even care what he's up to. She did, after all, choose someone other than him.Please update again soon! I'm dying to know what's going to happen next. What a cliffie!

A glowing jacket? Hopefully a means of communication to get help, but of course for drama's sake the rescue must come as close to the full moon as possible.

He should have kissed her through the bars.

I honestly am not seeing a way out of this, tho I've been racking my brain since their predicament was revealed. I absolutely love this story, so I know you'll get them out of this somehow, but... Hand to hand combat with a werewolf. Yikes. Please tell me that help is on the way! (now see here, you are seriously stressing me out!)

lulabelle72's response: I have thought and thought and thunk, and I think I know how they're getting out. But I'm not telling you. But I think I know. If so, it opens another entire can of worms.

first, i loved that crazy dream!  and at least it let you get some serious funny in before all the serious drama started.  then, once i realized that it was intended that remus should eat them, i thought maybe i should wait to read this chapter until after the next was up, so i wouldn't have to suffer through the evil cliffie with no relief.  but of course i can't resist this story, with your wonderful writing and characterizations, so i kept going, and i'm glad i did.  in the midst of everything, i'd forgotten about the starglass.  now i'm begging - please don't make us wait too long for the next update!

uhoh...do I sense upcoming spilling of secrets?! Great update and riveting prose as usual. Keep em coming!
