Aww. It seems like life has seriously sucked. I hope that you're feeling better now.
As always, I absolutely loved the update.

I'm sorry to hear of your current job situation, I hope you'll find a new job you like soon.

Great chapter, although Hermione's behaviour worries me. Is she really so stupid to think that Severus won't figure out that she gave her virginity to Harry shortly before marrying him? She wants a wand-bonding that connects her emotions, but has she even considered the consequences. After loosing Lily to James Potter, his wife having sex with Harry Potter while the have already been engaged - I believe Severus to be the kind of person who would ensure that Harry will never have sex again - he is good at creating spells and potions ever again, and he would put some wards around their home that would injure Harry, if he ever tries to visit Hermione.

He would consider her bahaviour in this chapter the worst sort of betrayal  and although he can't hurt her and he can't divorce her, he would find a way to make her life miserable.

Oh, I am so happy that you're back! Believe me, I completely sympathize and understand about RL issues keeping you from fan fic. Since the birth of my now one-year-old daughter, I've not been able to do anything but read fan fic (I'm looking to jump back into writing soon)... That being said, I hope you know that (and I'm sure all your readers will agree) this amazing story and your incredible gift with writing is well worth any wait!

Lovely story- Did you know that in being descended from the ducs de Guise, Snape would also be descended from Lucrezia Borgia?

Welcome back!  I'm sorry your life has been such a roller coaster; I hope good things are on the horizon for you!  I am very excited to see a new chapter of this AMAZING story up -- keep up the fantastic work!  Although I must admit I did scream GAAAAAH! when I read the last bit; please PLEASE tell me some clause with the upcoming marriage will stop Hermione and Harry ruining their friendship!!  Looking forward to the next chapter so much! 

Wow. I can't wait to see what you do with the next chapter. Seeing this update in my mail was a delightful treat.It is a cold day for a normally part of the country (40 degree drop in twelve hours) so I needed a lift. Take care.

Lovely to see you back. Sorry to hear about the problems you've had, and I hope they are on their way to being sorted out.

Chapter as usual was great.  Snape is perfectly drawn, and Hermione has a nice mix of feisty and unsure. :D

I haven't read this chapter yet, but I just wanted to let you know how EXCITED I am to see it updated! I love your stories so much. I'm planning on re-reading this story so I get the full impact of the new chapter. I also want to let you know that Unlikely Connections is another favorite story of mine. I've read up to "The Mambo" over at Ashwinder and I would love to see another update for that story. I hope you RL settles down soon, both for your sake and the sake of your stories. I'll continue to read the end, and then wish for more. :)

After all, we must share things among family.” Well if that doesnt raise goosebumps then nothing will. Ewwwww

I love this story so much! So glad you are back. Would loooooove to beta for you. can Brit-pick, cheerlead, & am a prof writer & editor. Please email me if interested: poisoneaters@gmail.com

The reading of the names is hauntingly profound as I sit here crying as if this is a real event!! Well written Lady! I have not done a lot of review lately but I had to stop during this chappie and give you the praise you deserve!! I honestly would have loved reading or seeing this in the perspective book or film!!

Oh how I wish there was more to this story. I'm falling in love with this poetically penned masterpiece! I knew it wasn't finished when I started to read it, but it has such an intruiging plot line and I do hope you continue this piece. I realise it has been a while since you updated here and your muse may have flown off somwhere but in the interests of my self-indulgent imagination, I hope that you continue this one. Pretty please with a cherry on the top? And cookies... I can make cookies....

I just tumbled into this story, and I'm quite looking forward to more. :)

It's been awhile since I read a new chapter, so I was pleased to come back and find two waiting for me!  Great developement so far.  I'm curious to see how Harry and Luna work  out - obviously, in the movies, they would work out fine.  I can't quite recall book Luna, tho.  Hmm.  Keep the chapters coming!  And thanks for dealing with the Marquis.  Prat.

*Not necessarily in that order*


Is that subtle enough for you?  I hope you will continue this as it is a fantastic read, and I can't stand the thought of never knowing how this all turns out!  Pretty Please *looks at you with sad puppy dog eyes*

This is a very well written story, which I have enjoyed very much. The description of Hermione's arousal in this chapter is worth re-reading, and the general plot has taken a very interesting shape. However, the fact that it hasn't been updated in a couple of months makes me wonder if the author has been cornered in a dead-end alley... I hope not.

boy, the marquise is a snake, a sneaky snake but i'm glad severus took him in hand!  faboo update.  thanks so much

I love Martine, she is a breath of fresh air in this odd family.  I hope we see more of her.

This is a wonderful story and I am enjoying it so much.
 
  It seems like there will be some romance brewing in the near future.

Awesome first kiss.

Oh, I can't wait to see how this weekend turns out.

Amelie is a wonderful character, I am enjoying her new friendship with Hermione. 

The weekend with Severus's father sounds like it will be horrid.  I hope everything goes well for Hermione, she has had a rough couple of weeks.

If they continue to fuss with each other over every small detail their married life will be exhausting.  

Delightful chapter.  

It's good to see Hermione finally show a little spine where Severus is concerned, I hope she stands up to him more in the future.
