Nice to see they have a better idea of what her affliction is and that her magic is just hidden. I loved the interchange at the end. He fully deserved that swat. :)

Good set up for solving the mystery. And I like how they are looking after each other. Interesting how this time the Malfoy repentence seems absolutely genuine, unlike last time.

Nice to see Hermione warming up to her one contact in the WW. And I can see her POV of not letting anyone else know she's alive. I can also completely understand Severus wanting to take care of her because I think he is probably partially or wholly responsible for the potion that left her magically impotent.

LOL Nice to see they both have as sense of humor. I do think he is right that she needs time to be young and stupid before settling down. Her comments about who he should date were priceless. She should have mentioned Minerva though. LOL

Yay!!! I know, repititious, but that's my initial reaction. LOL I love how she was almost recognizing him but not quite and just when she was going to approach him he was gone. Quite sneaky how he revealed himself to her, though if some guy stepped out of a doorway late in day to surprise me I might scream bloody murder. Nice to see her regaining some touch wiht the magical world and I hope that Severus can succeed.

So close yet so far for each of them. Hopefully Snape's decision to return the following day will pay off. :)

Yay!!! Snape remembered and Hermione noticed the coin. If only she could send him a message letting him know where she was. It's nice to see the hope.

Nice to see that Snape is still human and that he was affected by the deaths. I have to say that I just loved the mention of Potter Place and recommendation that Hermione avoid it. LOL That was really wonderful little nod to the community.

Yay! Snape's cleared. Now he just needs to recover enough to remember Hermione. And it's good to see her coming to terms with what has happened to her. Hopefully she won't have to play Muggle for too long.

Nice snapshot of the rebuilding. I like the Harry took up Hermione's mantle in trying to clear Snape, finally doing the research and other legwork that he should. it is a fitting tribute to her. I do hope that Snape, when he recovers, remembers about Hermione and can find a way to help her. I hope that the Muggles haven't taken her Galleon away because I think that might be the key to finding her.

Oooh, I like this. That is nearly a fate worse than death. She has nothing or no one. I do wonder what was up with the Galleon Snape gave her. I know it's significant, but I can't wait see how.

WOOT!!!!EXCELLENT!!!I look forward to the epilogue...

Beautiful... just beautiful.I love that you managed to keep them friends for so long, on such a personal and intimate level without adding sexual intimacy to the mix. Having Ron be so unselfish and mature was a pleasurable surprise. Very well done!

YES! Woo-hoo. I had hoped this is what would happen when Severus made the comment about maybe in ten or twenty years.

Sparkly? Oh boy... I don't know where this is going, but it ought to be good!I liek that you have managed to include most of the canon epilogue information, even if it is set up a bit differently. I hate that Snape died.

I love the friendship those two have, and though I love a romance between them, I can be happy that they are just friends.

Oh no... another baby. Poor Hermione! Not because she is being "replaced", but because she will definitely agonize over whether to proceed with the reversal if there will be any chance of damage to the fetus.

Oh dear god... is it relly that simple? Ingenious... positively ingenious!

Lol... I can totally picture Snape standing there shaking his thing around. Great visual you described!

ROFL! I love Hermione's little quip to her dad, and Severus flirting right back to her.

The banter between the two of them is so pleasant to read. Very well written.

Fabulous! I love how they are both learning to be real now that they have found each other.

Oh my god... how cruel! So close to each other.

Yay! He remembered, and has sent her the hope she needs. hermione is strong and will fight her depression until someone comes for her, as long as she knows someone is coming.

He didn't notice the comment about Hermione dying... I wonder when he will remember.
