Severus has made such a huge, grievous mistake in the way he's treated her! I know Ginny won't let him forget his stupidity, and I hope Dumbledore won't either.

This is EXQUISITE!  Clearly J.K. Rowling has nothing on you! I have been reading this story from the beginning, and it has become an obsession. The TRUE romance, the passion! It is incredible!!!Please! Hurry with the next chapter!! I can not wait!!! Truly, truly excellent! One of the best stories I've ever read, by far!

Thanks for the great story!

Beautiful ending to a delightful story.  Thank you for sharing it.

What a wonderful ball, can't wait to see how their evening ends.

Oh, I'm so happy for Hermione, she deserves good things. 

war is hell, so glad it's over.

Wow, Ginny and the Dark Lord, what will Harry think, Will she tell Harry everything?Loved the ending, Severus can be sensual and even sweet when he wants to be.

Well done Ginny, I'm sure you'll have nightmares for a while about what you had to do to get the information, but it was for the "Greater Good".

I hope Ginny keeps her cool around the creepy Dark Lord.

Wow, potion brewing at it's best.

It's good to see Hermione and Severus making progress, but I think she will need time before anything serious happens.

I love the Ginny/Voldemort angle, very inventive.  I hope Snape gets Hermione sorted out soon, before it's to late.

Very powerful chapter, I love it.

It's wonderful that he can heal her physical scars, lets see how he does with her mental scars.

It was good to see Dumbledore include Snape in healing Hermione, he was the cause, so maybe he is the only one who can help her.  

It's about time Severus saw what his harsh words have done, and did something to help Hermione heal.

Severus needs to take a long look at Hermione and see how much she has truly changed since the attack.  He also needs to take responsibility for his part in these changes. 

Seeing Hermione like this is heartbreaking.

It's no wonder she is cutting, she has been victimized twice, and the second time it was by someone she trusted and respected.

What a truly horrible night, poor Hermione.  Severus needs to apologize.

Snape seems to be a day late and a dollar short - again.

I thought Ginny was a touch O/C in the earlier chapters.  I am beginning to understand now.

Is he going to go easy on her now?  I don't know.  There are still quite a few chapters remaining and you do have an "angst" warning.  I'm all over the conversation between Ron and Hermione.  You have Ron speaking in a plural sense, “...You’re our mate, and we love you! ... We don’t want to lose you.”   That's exactly the way I believe someone with the emotional range of a teaspoon would carry a conversation!On to chapter 8

Simply a fantastic story.  I loved the premise from the beginning....you are right, this is the first time I have read a fic that had Severus refusing to harm Hermione after she had been captured.  I loved the characterizations you had of all the characters.  And as much as I loved how you portrayed Severus and Hermione, I do have to say I loved your portrayals of Harry and Ginny the most in this fic.  Thank you so much for sharing this!
