You are to be thanked, honored, hugged, and showered with adoration for getting us this chapter ASAP!  Thanks for not keeping us in suspense.  Your solution was quite unique, and (best of all) it only took one scene so they could be reunited quickly.  Poor Sev.  Time to start cherishing their time together :)

Ok, Shark averted!  Very nice twist

YAY!!!

I'm glad Severus finally got an apology from Lily (about time) and that she was able to set things to right for him. Knowing how long he had waited for his Hermione to come back, I couldn't imagine Severus passing up the opportunity to return to his love.

So Lucius is dead and gone ... but now we get a visit from the Weasley Wanker?!

Oh the HORROR!!!

(big sigh of relief)  yay!!  I did feel a bit anxious at Lily's warning, as if Severus was going to get offed again sometime.  careful, Severus!  poor Draco, but he did know beforehand that his father's death was a possibility.  I hope the Order supports Draco in his grief and as he remakes the Malfoy family reputation.  okay, you are forgiven -- chocolate moose for you!

What a wonderful life insurance policy.  If Harry and Snape weren't friends, I bet it would irritate Harry to no end that he indirectly saved Snape's life.I'm glad Snape came back, not ready for this story to end yet...unless you say it's over, at which point I can't argue. =)Looking forward to the next chapter =)

Severus lives!   Woohoo!!!!!!!   You sneaky thing, you!  That possibility totally came out of left field -- never even saw it coming...Of course, now that Hermione and Severeus are reunited and Lucius is dead and Severus has been brought back to life...I think it's high time for a few lemons, don't you???

Nope, never saw it coming that way!  But it was good, and I'm glad Sev's back in the land of the living (although if it had been me, I would have twisted the knife for one more chapter before bringing him back... but I'm a meanie, so it's a good thing I don't write any of these)!  So, Lucius is gone and Severus and Hermione are back together; it would seem that the end of this story may be near, unless something unexpected happens.  I've really enjoyed it, and hopefully a little sequel with everyone's kids will pop up in the future.  I'd love to see how a child of Sirius and Petunia's would turn out! 

Quite forgiven.  I like that Harry's life debts were repaid that way.  It was nice.  And I'm glad that Lily acknowledged that she was at fault also.

Nice surprise.  I liked the way you brought Severus back.  I had not even considered Harry's life debts being repaid by Lilly.

Of course your forgiven! What a brilliant idea. Glad to see him back where he belongs. No more shocks now, my heart can't take it lol.

Thank you for bringing him back. That was so clever to use the 'life debt' angle to bring him back. I'm loving the relationship that they have. =]You're amazing, dearest!*hugs*Rhiannon

You killed him?  Seriously?  Wow.  I wonder how you're going to work this one out to be a happy ending.  Please update again soon.  Much Love ~ Karen

Ahhhh I thought it said this story was complete! And then there is no more one more chapter... I feel like screaming.  IS there going to be one more chapter soon?  I must know!  Must!  What happens!!! 

poor hermione...having to kiss lucius!  great update, take two!  thanks so much, my deb                                         (me blowing kisses)

Well, that certainly was unexpected.  I had wondered how such a dumb idea could work out in their favor, as though Lucius could be beaten in his own home, but you had that all figured out all along.  I have a couple of ideas for solutions, and they both involve Time Turners. 

Wow!  That is harsh!  But there's got to be a way, or you wouldn't have written these forty chapters so far...  Hmm.  I can think of a few possibilities of how things might be put right somehow.  First, there's the obvious re-use of the Time-Turner.  Second, there's Severus' words to Harry all those years ago when he started the duelling lessons, that intent determines the outcome of a spell.  What happened when Hermione cast that uber-Avada Kedavra?  In the back of her mind, she wanted Severus to not be dead; could the spell have taken the life force from Lucius and his flunky and given it to Sev?  Third, Severus is always going on to the first years that the art of potion making can allow you to "put a stopper in death".  Finally, we have the amazing basilisk Strengthening Solution which appears to do more than what it says on the tin.  I'm going to have to read over the previous chapters to see if I can glean anything from them as to what is going to happen!

Moose, huh?  My sister was bitten by a moose once.  No, really!  She was carving her initials into the side of the moose when...

(The people responsible for leaving this review have just been sacked.  The rest of this review has been completely redone at the last minute and at great cost.) 

Great job!  Moose or no, I expect a new chapter in short order! 

OK, I'm meaning no offense here but I'm just feeling like you're revving up the story-cycle to jump a literary shark.  And sharks are way scarier than moose.  Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

So, I was going through my emails today...and noticed that I never actually left a review for this chapter.  I left one for 38 and not 37...whoops.  You know I think you're awesome right?  This story is amazing.  :-)  Much Love ~ Karen

So sweet.  And I like this more even form of everyone, less hot/cold dramatic.  It's very sweet.  Sigh.  The story is going to end soon, isn't it.  Things are wrapping up so nicely.  Crapola.

I love how she revealed her true self to Severus.  And I can't wait until Harry gets it.  That was too funny where he admonishes her for running off... yeah, she did run off, but probably quite a bit farther than he imagined.

I never stopped loving you.  I would have killed you if you did.  Fantastic parting shots!  This chapter was all sorts of wonderful.  And I think it was truly necessary.  I'm just so sad Severus is insecure about the othertime line.  Hermione is just going to have to show him how much HE means to her.  Not the other bat of the dungeons.

This hits the mark.  It fits the bill.  It's just perfect.  Wee!  Reunion is so sweet.  Perfection.  Bravo

Oh no!  And this is why HG/RW just doesn't work.  But Potions not Arithimancy?  I am worried

Ugh!  Make it go away.  I'm so ready for the Final Battle and Hermione's return.  Only Hermione's not going to show up after the Final Battle.  She still has a few years after that.  Now I'm getting cranky.  Now I want the sweetie at the end.  Impatient, I know.

Oh no!  *covers eyes*  I can't look!  His cover blown!  Nonononono.  You are killing me woman.  Killing me.
