I hope Snape remembers Hermione when he isn't sleeping!

An excellent take on the prompt.

I know you intended the ending to be serious and befitting of such a tragedy, but I am just in one of those moods, and as soon as I read Snape's "Never stop believing" line, I immediately started singing Journey. Thanks for that. That's awesome. Really. But it was a great start to this story, and I am sure there won't be any more Journey-outbursts in later chapters.

I like this "new" Snape. He seems to be the mentor Hermione needs at this time, and he is willing to also be the emotional and physical connection she needs.

Fluffy - I like happy endings.While I am glad your portrayal of Ron was outside the 'Ron-the-jerk' box, I think it was a bit over the top.  Call me cynical, but I have some doubt that such altruism exists where a person's ego, emotions and children are concerned.In any case, it was a fun and interesting story.  Thanks.

Yay! Very happy for our couples. May they live happily ever after. I love that you didn't portray Ron as a prat, he was a great friend and strong man to realize the situation. I have enjoyed this story a whole lot.  Well done, looking forward to the epilogue.

Private research, huh?

How sweet, they both fell in love with each other around the same time. Ron was a very selfless friend to let Hermione go to have her happiness. It is wonderful he found the woman for him so soon. She had probably been waiting in the wings for him, as Severus had been for Hermione.

A lovely ending (or almost-ending) to a great story! It was so good to see Severus and Hermione finally happy together (and Ron finding his own happiness with Luna, too).

This was a great story! I enjoyed every chapter.

The end of a sweet story. I just love 'happily ever after'.

This was a great story and I enjoyed reading it from start to finish. I could not put it down even though I was tired; my body was telling me to go to sleep, but my brain kept telling it to wait til I finished reading. I just had to know how it ended.I can't wait until the voting is over so that I can find out who you are, read your other works, and put this story into my favourites (I will be reading this again, that much is certain. I mean, how could I not? It was and is fabulous). I also wish that I could give you more than 5 stars, but alas, that is all that is available. Just know that on my rating system you deserve an 11.

I never expected that out of Ron. He has shown real maturity and is letting her go so that she can be truly happy with someone, even if that person is not him. I have read a lot of stories to where he is an immature arse, hell, I have even written one of those myself, but what you have done here is refreshing to see. Brava, dear, brava!

Excellent chapter, and I'm looking forward to the epilogue.  Of course I'm also NOT looking forward to the epilogue, if that makes any sense.  I really have enjoyed reading your story.

*Sharply inhales* That was one hell of a chapter! Ron knows, I know he does. Hermione is in love with Sev, I can so see it.

"Lovely. Just the sort of bedfellow I need: soft, small, and silent." This was priceless; I just adore your humour.

Wow, she is stronger than what she was before. How cool is that! Also, I love how you put Sev in low slung jeans that would be a sight, one that I might be tempted to take a picture of.

Hermione's reaction to Sev petting the one-eyed snake was rather funny. Surely she couldn't expect him to not find a stress reliever, he is a male after all. Mmmm... naked Severus, what a sight that would be.

Very enjoyable and all wrapped up nicely. Thanks.

I like how you came up with the idea to bind her magic, instead of simply stripping her of it completely. I'm just speculating here, but maybe this will be easier to solve  once they find an answer sense her magic is only bound and not gone entirely.

A wonderful ending to the wonderful story I have delighted in following from its beginning!  You have written with the utmost understanding of your characters and have given me hours of contented reading... for that I wholeheartedly thank you.I am looking forward to the epilogue... after the voting, of course.  Will there be any Snapelettes in their future?  Any little radish-loving children in Ron's and Luna's future?Well done, Oh Goddess of the Quill!Beth

I love how they tease each other and how they seem to have a natural chemistry with one another, which is quite refreshing to see.

Yes, we do love the deliciously snarky Snape--he is too irresistable! I especially love the thought of him clad only in a damp towel.

I am pleased that Hermione is now living with Sev and that he is going to help her recover her magic. I love this story more with every chapter.

Congratulations on finising your story!  Thank you for sharing it with us. Good luck!YOu did a good job with this, it was enjoyable from the exciting start to the ending with friendship overriding jealousy.  I agree with Debjunk that the story is better for their not having had sex while she was still married to Ron.  and once more, thank you for not making Ron a jerk.
