I'm already almost crying now, knowing what is in store for them. But I'm looking forward to reading that part again nonetheless. Lovely chapter!gab

Its a nice thing that you can still love a story even after reading it elsewhere. You know what is coming up, but still are anticipating reading it again... I SOOO Love that.Red

That is not going to be fun, poor Sev and Hermione.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

Oh yeah. The next chapter was a very difficult thing to write, but I think I managed to get it done well enough. I hope you despise reading it.

This is moving along nicely. I loved Hermiones reunion with Minerva in this chapter. I really could feel her emotions here and I totally would have run at the witch too! Hugs are Awesome! Anyways, Severus looks like he's in for a wild ride next. Can't wait for more! ~Brena

You can say that again, he's ready to get the shit knocked out of him...figuratively....that is.Red

You're killing me Red Writing Hood, making me wait to find out the whole story concerning Lucius/Severus and Hermione. I had thought it was going to come last chapter, and then certainly this one. Hoping you post Chapter 10 soon.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

LOL...sorry, I'm working on getting it up. Its not to my satisfaction yet, and its a pretty long chapter. I hope it will be worth the wait.Red

Harry's going to fall off his chair. Will he - once more - blame Snape for everything?Oh, I live this story and can hardly wait for the next chapter.Cheers. /M

S'funny - I don't usually like fics where the author tacks on an epilogue giving Hermione and Severus children, but I love 'Severus finds out that he is about to be or has just become a father' fics - this is a splendid example. I'm really looking forward to more. I hope that Harry can be persuaded to be reasonable (but I'm not holding my breath).

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

I think you may be surprised how everyone in this fic acts. Please keep reading.Red

Oh wow! I think I'd prefer a holiday with a Blast-ended Skrewt than to tell Harry. I don't envy Hermione at all! Again, love Snape as the 'dad of the year'. Such a departure for him, though hoping there's some snark left in the old boy yet! LOL

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

Oh, I hope I didnt make Snape TOO out of character. I want a bit of snark in him. Hummm.Red

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer is he. It's nice that Severus is being so tolerant of Harry that makes it easier for Hermione.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

I think he's smart enough to figure it all out...eventually LOLRed

A room in the dungeons, but not in his suite. Good compromise.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

I wanted the two to be near Severus, but not share the same chambers. I thought this would be ideal.Red

I'm glad it was was Harry and not Ron. That would not have gone well.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

Well, everyone seems to want to write Ron as hot headed. I hope I can give him a bit more maturity...I hope.Red

Please write more! This is very well-done. As a mother myself, I can really relate to Hermione's feelings of exhuastion and sadness.

Thanks, glad that you are enjoying this story. There is much more to come.Red

I love how you've written her breakdown when faced with returning to Hogwarts. Its so real and honest and powerful to see her fall on her knees in dispair. I know he's trying to do the right thing, but returning to the scene of the crime has got to be frightening as hell. Thanks again for a wonderful chapter. ~

Another great chapter. Love this story! Can't wait to see how the relationship between Severus & Hermione goes and can't WAIT to see what happens with Lucius. Hope to read an update soon.

Response from Red Writing Hood (Author of A Secret Worth Keeping)

Ohhh. Lucius. Lets just say that he gets his in the end. but you have to wait until chapter 48 to find out. LOLRed
