I miss this story! please update soon!

“You can’t toast with Gillywater,” McGonagall informed her with an alarming giggle, and Hermione suspected she’d just made up that rule." I literally busted out laughing at that line! Gold!

Mmmmm Snape! ;)

I love how Neville visited Snape and read to him when he would go see his parents!

I love that you have Draco teaching Divination, and his theory behind it! Very original! I also love how in character Neville is, and how Hermione wonders how he's not already taken; my thoughts exactly! :)

I apologize for not reviewing each chapter, but I did heartily enjoy your story. I had not read any SS/HG stories prior to this one as I had been somewhat off-put by the pairing. But your story has made me more amenable to their coupling. Most likely because in your ever so clever story weaving, you minimized their vast age difference. I have to say, for this being your first foray into fan fiction, you did an excellent job. Had you written fiction of any kind prior to this? I will be quite surprised and impressed if you say "no." I think one of my favorite aspects of this story (other than the gratuitous smut) was the high level of angst that permeated it. I love angsty love stories. No sooner than I would think that all was gravy between Snape and Hermione, then you would pull the rug out from beneath them. Add the fact that you managed to do it several times without it seeming to be overkill. Aside from the romantic aspect, you had a great plot with the idea of their being a wizarding gene and Malfoy's plan to wipe out all muggle borns. Also, the way you wrote about all the scientific aspect showed a real understanding, lending more credibility and finesse to your story.You did an excellent job of keeping Snape in character especially in the more romantic scenes, a task I would think is quite difficult. I also really liked how you wrote Daco. You made a much maligned character quite likeable. It was nice to see him in such a positive light.Overall, a wonderful story that I thoroughly enjoyed. My only regret is that it ended ;)One last thing I thought I'd mention. I found your story as a result of coming across the drawing, of Snape and Hermione beneath the horse chestnut tree, on deviantart. Just thought you might like to know :)

You did a great job of making this a very informative chapter with lots of background history presented in a very clear and easy to understand way.I'm glad that there aren't any more secrets between them and that they can now move on and slowly, but surely, get back into a comfortable relationship with perks.Bummer about Hermione's friend and former professor from college being killed due to his inability to successfully rediscover Hermione's work on the gene responsible for Muggleborn having magic.Well done--keep up the good work!☺

This chapter was beautifully written even if it was full of tear inducing and heartbreaking angst/drama.UGH‼Well done--keep up the good work!☺

*::fanning face::*Holy cow--their dancing the Tango in their rooms, even if without music, was hotter than He££--very sexy indeed!;~D ARGH‼  Lucius Malfoy should be hung until unconscience, disembowled but before he is allowed to die, he should then be drawn and quartered as punishment for having both threatened Hermione, and for ruining her relationship with Severus.Well done--keep up the good work!☺

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm--deliciously detailed, highly erotic, breath takingly beautiful exploration and expression of their desires and facination for the other.  Damn!  I SO WANT TO BE Hermione!  You know?;~D Extremely well written--keep up the good work!☺

I like how they are getting along and becoming more comfortable with each other.Hmm, by Hermione's reaction, to the mentioning of Lucius Malfoy's name, I take it that he did something to her that she hasn't gotten over the fear of... rape perhaps?Dang Peeves!  He just had to interrupt a delicious moment (that was so very erotic and romantic) between the two--ARGH!It is fantastic that Hermione and Severus confessed their feelings/desires for each other and have agreed to try to not hurt the other or expect love to come of their being together.

WooHoo--they are heading for the bedroom--brilliant!

;~D *::pouts and gives puppy eyes look::*Too bad we aren't allowed to see what they get up to in there.Well done--keep up the good work!☺

*::shivers with the hebee-jebees::*
Bertram is even more creepy than I thought to have tried to take advantage of Hermione by kissing her when she was vulnerable, and using their meetings as a way to get into her pants, heart, or whatever.

Ok, I have some new theories on the toe-rag:
1)  He is looking for specifics so that he may go back in time to prevent Voldemort losing the war.
2)  He is contemplating being the next dark lord and looking for the pitfalls to avoid falling for them.

~*~*~
WOAH!  Severus must have it real bad for Hermione to have gone so ballistic over catching a glimpse of Sleezoid-Bertram trying to score with Hermione--romantic and scary at the same time... you know?

Well done--keep up the good work!
☺

Hermione is a lucky lady to have Draco as a friend as he is caring and sweetly protective.

Wow, I never expected Severus to have come looking for Hermione and to have actually notice that she had been missing for eight hours.  It was good of him to have apologize to her for his callused treatment of her after his having gotten her off in the alcove.  It was kind of sweet that he was jealous of Draco and how passionate he (Severus) was in his desire to find her and talk to her.

Well done--keep up the good work!
☺

*SQUEE*
OMG-OMG-OMG--that was so freaking sexy as all sin how they got so hot and bothered (weeks worth of tension building between the two helped, of course) by arguing with each other, that they took it into the hallway; resulting in their passionate kissing, his getting her to admit that she wants him desperately, ending with Severus' dexterous usage of his fingers to aid Hermione in reaching a screaming orgasm--lucky lady‼
;~D

Too bad that after the fireworks he went back to being a cold-hearted prick.  I understand that he was reverting into his teaching persona, due to his having a class still in session that he had to get back to, but still it had to hurt Hermione.  You know?

VERY well done--keep up the good work!
☺

Ok, it sounds like Severus is perhaps a bit jealous of the attention that Hermione is receiving from other men such as Neville and Bertram.

Bummer about Hermione having nightmares due to her discussions with Bertram on the war against Voldemort.

With Hermione's reaction to the news clipping about her former potions professor (at the university) taking a position of employment at Arglist Industries, it makes me wonder all the more what the heck she had gotten up to while in their employment.  The types of things that I can come up with is breathing life back into the dead; whether it be parts or the whole body.  OR trying to cure some sort of ailment only to cause horrific side effects.

I'm wondering if Bertram is a plant from Arglist to gain her trust and try to rope her back in somehow.  You know?

Well done--keep up the good work!
☺

I like how Severus kept an ear and eye upon Hermione both on the way to Hogsmeade and at the table within The Three Broomsticks.  Well, they got some alone time together, even if it were only due to her stubbornness during the drinking challenge.

He was quite the gentleman to have shared the hangover potion with Hermione.

Well done--keep up the good work!

I like how despite Professor Snape giving Hermione crap about not finding it necessary to look over her lesson plans and other materials he took them anyways--sheesh.
LOL

~*~*~
It was kind of creepy that he chose to observe Hermione's class, but also cool that he was present to have witnessed the content of the following quote.

'Hermione gently leant across the table and angled her chin over the cauldron. Then ever-so-softly and ever-so-slowly, she blew on the vapour and watched it float away, revealing the perfect silver potion churning in the bottom of the cauldron. Her face alight with triumph, she looked up and met Snape’s gaze. With amazement, she noted that for once he wasn’t frowning at her. There was a look of blatant interest in his dark eyes that sent her pulse speeding and skipping through her veins like a hummingbird searching for nectar.

If she could have seen herself, Hermione would have been surprised by what a lovely picture she made, leaning over the cauldron with her face flushing prettily amidst the billowing vapours. It was an image that did not go unnoticed by others in the room that day.'

Too cool!
:D

Well done--keep up the good work!
☺

I love the description of Hermione's dress and robe which sound gorgeous, along with her hair, the leaves, and her boots too.
:D

*::chuckling::*
I love the interaction between Hermione and Severus in this chapter--great fun to read.

I thought that it was fantastic that Severus was checking Hermione out at the feast, in Minerva's office, and then later on in their apartment (his bedroom).
;~D

Well done--keep up the good work!

Wow, this story is absolutely amazing. I urge you to write more asap because otherwise I might have to hunt you down and force you to do so. haha, jk. But seriously, please update as soon and as much as you can.

Poor Hermione to be troubled by such worries, doubts, and fears from the past and uncertainties of the future.

Well done--keep up the good work!

Another great chapter.


I was cackling when I read of the first years going into Slytherin most likely due to word of Professor Snape's awakening from his 14 year coma; I don't blame them.


I wonder what types of things were going on at Arglist to have caused Hermione to have done the damaged to all of the samples and documentation and research notes.  It was good of Minerva to have offered Hermione the potions position.

Now then, I'm wondering what Minerva would need to talk to Hermione about at 2:00am.  Hmm, with Hermione having three bedrooms in her suite... could it be that Minerva is going to ask her to give one of them over to Professor Snape?  Ooo, the possibilities.


Well done--keep up the good work!

Fantastic first chapter!  I love how you have developed the characters and given us a glimpse into their background history of the years since the final battle.

I'm rather intrigued as to the story behind Hermione's employment at Arglist as she seems to be spooked at the thought of the place.

Hmm, I wonder how it is possible that Professor Snape has aged a day during his 14 year lie-in (coma) at St. Mungos.  I'm also wondering if Hermione's being compelled to snatch his memories from the pensive could be related in some way.  Perhaps they (the memories) will be useful in his recovery if he has any blanks in recalling his past.

Well done--keep up the good work!

Just finished reading "A Murder of Crows" and all I can say is, that I loved every little bit of it! And still do! Just great.

I'm really curious to find out what happened to Hermione at Arglist that would cause her to destroy everything. I wonder what message Severus has for Hermione. No doubts that's why McGonagall wanted to see her immediately.

this is great!! I'm so glad you kept hermione true!
