great chapter.  I knew Ron the dunghead would eventually show up and blow his gasket about the turn of events.  he's such a prat.  anyways, i can't wait to read more!

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

LOL. Poor Ron. No one seems to like him. However, I intend on making mine lovable...if not a bit hard-headed.

LOL I like Harry and Hermione zapping Ron when he got out of hand.  He needed it. :)

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

Awww. Yes he did deserve it. But he improves through the story. LOL

OMG I'm So glad that they cursed Ron before he could do something truly stupid.  He's such a spaz.  I'm so happy that he actually listened to the whole story.  But in the end I thought "Open Mouth, Insert Foot" when Severus walked in!  Haha, too funny.  Great Chapter Dear.  ~ Brena

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

No matter how old Ron gets, he will always be a bit immature. LOL. Still, I like him and prefer him to be likable...if just a bit hard-headed.

beautiful!  loved hermione and harry both zapping ron!  thanks so much

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

Ron has always been hard headed, but not unreasonable...at least in my line of reasoning.

This was a great chapter. I really enjoyed the mental image of Severus giving Sebastian a bath. Very cute. I'm so happy to see Hermione being so comfortable around Severus for their child. I was also jealous of how Poppyy could just fix her up after the whole child birth thing. It seriously makes me wish that poppy could fix me up when its my turn to give birth! Anyways I'm off to read the latest update. Much Love ~

LOL. Sometime I also wish we had magical healing. Some thing I would like is permanant relief for arthritis...sigh...but then, I do have some decent meds for that.

Oh, how good of you to continue this.... I already feared you might have given up on this story. I've already read the old version several times and this one is even better!

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

Oh, I havent given up on this, it just takes a long time to get from my beta reader, then through the submission process here. I have to have patience though. Something that I am sorely lacking sometimes.

“Indeed,” came a silky voice from the doorway. "It is."I smirked at that line. I do hope Hermione fall's in love with him. Look forward to more.

I kind of loved that line too. LOL. Love? Keep reading.

I just got caught up on your story, and I really have to say it's quite excellent. What a painful and harrowing time Hermione must have had, trying to decide what to do after that night and then again when her parents threw her out. I have a feeling at some point either Severus or the boys will be having a few choice words with them for not giving their only child a chance to explain what happened, causing her so much anguish and suffering in the process. So far, only the few current residents of Hogwarts know of little Sebastian's existence, but I imagine it will be tough to keep him a secret once the rest of the students return. Well done, and I already added this story to my favorites!

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

Thank you,

Im glad that you are enjoying my little story. I think you will continue to like it and be surprised at all the things about to come to the surface. Please keep reading. It's about to get good.

I had lost this story but was so glad to find it back, and even with two more chapters. Great ones, indeed. Looking forward to Severus' attempts at wooing her! will he get advice from AD and PP? Which would be the even less useful ones? Sebastian is a tiny bit too vivid (for his age, I mean). But then he's magical. I'm not sure how rapidly they develop. So he might indeed astound us? So far it's you astounding me with your wonderfully descriptive but sensible writing. Keep going!!

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

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

, I am happy that you have found me again. I am equally grateful that you are enjoying my little story. I have to admit that I have no clue as to the development of infants, seeing as I have never had any and have never been around one long enough to know the age responses. Still, I am using my imagination, even as sorely lacking at it is in that department. Thanks again for the review, another chapter should be up in a matter of days.Red

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

I've had such an image in my head while writing that scene. I'm glad it came out as I intended it to.Red

I would have sold my soul for magical maternity care during any of my pregnancies... I really love the slow comfortable way Hermione and Severus are interacting. They're still a bit tentative...but in a good way. Excellent!

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

I want their relationship to develop slowly, I think it gives them a more believable romance. Red

It's really good so far. I think what I like best is not only the way you characterized everyone, but also the fact that Sebastian wasn't an accidental 'the contraceptive didn't work' baby. The two of them are too sensible to leave that to chance.

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

Thank you Banshee (I love that name). I appreciate you taking the time to let me know that you are enjoying my story. I hope you continue to like it and letting me know.Blessed beRed

Such a nice chapter.  I'm glad things are working out, even slowly.  Love the visual of Severus giving the baby a bath.  New update soon?????

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

I'll have a new update soon. My new beta reader likes take her time and go over the chapters well, but it's well worth the wait.Thanks.Red

This story is simply adorable. And mind you, I am not too fond on SS/HG, and definitely not fond of babies. And still!I am glad you are giving Severus some peace. ... and his expression held nothing. No anger, no hurt, and no pain ... was a truly beautiful line.Thank you for sharing this with us.Happy Holidays. /M

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

Thank you. I'm glad that line touched you. Red

This was a very nice chat.  I hope Severus stops kicking himself in the ass over what was done to him.  But that could take some time.  Its just Hermione could really use his attention right now, not him being all stuck in his own head.  I can't wait to see whats next.  Cheers! ~Brena 

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

Self forgiveness sometimes take twice as long to do as forgiving someone else. Im sure he will forgive himself in time.Red

I have read this story several times before, and I still love it! It's one of the best! I am glad you are posting it here. Are you changing it at all? I hope not, it was fine the way it was!

I am not changing the important parts, just redoing the editing and adding. I hope you enjoy the updates.Red

Red ~ I remember starting to read this story over on Ashwinder a long time ago.  I loved it then, but then due to the set up over there I lost track of your updates, and never got to see the ending.  So, I'm just going to re-read and finish it over here on TPP (posting lots of reviews along the way).  I loved the whole idea of story and can't wait to finally see the ending!  Lots of Love  ~
