He did.  He really didn't have much of a choice.  St. Mungo's will hopefully patch Hermoine up to be as good as new.

Lol.  You quoted my favorite part.  I guess I'm not most people, because I love to sing along with it.  I suppose having performed it before has nothing to do with it at all.  Singing along to classical choral pieces just seems normal to me!  (Maybe we're both bonkers?)  Beethoven's 9th is another good one.  Thanks for the review.

Well, I would love to do as you wish and finish this fic immediately, but I don't think that the admins would appreciate all of those chapters uploaded at once.  However. I hope I can brighten your day a tiny bit by informing you that the next chapter is waiting to be validated.  I certainly hope that the world can wait a little longer until this fic is completely finished!  Thank you for your review.

Believe it or not, Severus' reclusive behaviors are the last thing on his mind right now.  He'll deal with that after this major emergency.

I'll admit that I too hate cliffies.  But we authors live to befuddle our reader's minds, I think.  I have sent the next chapter to SW, so, it won't be an incredibly long time in between updates.  Recluse and St. Mungo's don't really jive, do they?

Thank you so much.  You never know what's behind that closed door!

Good and bad things could come from all of this. But everything will probably work out in the end.

Thanks!  He's protective, definitely.  It comes out a bit rough from him, though.

Thanks so much.  I always love a little excitement in a story.

Thank you so much!  I'm not sure that Severus and Hermione fully expected to see him there either, but there he was.  At least Severus did the bugger in.

Lol.  Yup.  Maybe it could be used to prevent teens from starting to smoke in High school.

Yes, it is.  But will he let himself do so?

Okay, so I went a bit overboard with the Monet.  But her real money comes from her quests.  Some of the books she has uncovered are worth a Monet in themselves, so you can imagine that her reward for finding one would be quite large.I'll fix that maitre d' thing.  I could have sworn I looked it up, but I find no evidence of my spelling anywhere.  Lol.  Must have been dreaming.

I'm-a workin' on it.  Thanks for the review.

Of course more is on the way.  As for the library, it certainly would be nice to have one around.  It would be nice to have magic too!

She's in a bit of a mess, isn't she?

Some of the best things in life are unexpected.  I'm not sure if this qualifies, though.  Lol.  I'm rushing to get the next chapter up.  Thanks!

I think her admissions helped him a great deal.  Thanks!

I think we all want to find someone who sees us as we truly are.  Someone who looks beyond our human frailties to see the true person underneath.  If anyone deserves that, it's Severus Snape.  Thanks, hon.  Glad you liked it.

Join the club... I too am an unashamed crier.  I bawl at movies constantly.  My husband just shakes his head.  At least I have an emotional 15 year old to share my crying jags with.  We just look at each other and give one another watery smiles.  Lol.

Well, I guess bookworms attract.  Probably because they're the only ones in the library all day.  Ron, Harry, and Ginny are adults now.  Hopefully grown-up too.  So, I wanted them to be supportive of Hermione.  Thanks, kizzy!

Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it.

Finished... yes.  It's a bit sad to leave two people you've gotten really close to, but, life goes on.  I'm not out of story ideas yet, so you'll be seeing me again.
