I enjoyed this story immensely. From the opening words, to the very last of it, you both captured my imagination and led me through this beautiful story wonderfully. Thank you!Love Sonia :)

I am sorry for not reviewing each and every chapter of this beutifully crafted story. The whole plot as it moved twisting and turning grabbed me so much I have read this story over the last two days as its appeal made me not want to stop reading. I love your characterisation of Severus in this snarky and swearing post war story. The whole scenario of Dumbledore putting a curse and also poisoning Severus to me seems very plausable and I do like what you wrote. The eagle for me stole teh show his Chicken lol and the antics of the bird to get SS and HG together was hillarious especially the bird taking that last letter without consent and giving it to HG. Wise bird.

I do realise how good it is to have a superb beta reader and wish I had one as good as yours. I do hope to read more of your stoires and have favourited your stories here so I can read more. Really enjoyed this one and take this review to equal 100 or more reviews. I am blind and prefer to review after I have read teh whole story. Mainly due to my screen reader misbehaving at times and losing links which can be very frustrating when you are in the middle of a most enjoyable read. I shall look forward to seeing your Severus Snape in future. I know you wrote it a while back but for me a newby to SS fic it is so good to read a well written piece of work that obviously took much research over months if not longer. I do appreciate all your hard work. So thanks so much for writing and sharing this with me. Claps hands with appreciation. Janette from Scotland

I can't stop smiling everytime Simon/Severus mentions his "chicken". I call my pet cockatiel  "chicken". 

and what a joy it was to read...funny, exciting, frustrating, err, stimulating, and finally the happy ending.  mere words are inadequate for the thanks i wish to give you for sharing your time, talent and vision.  mega mucho smoochies

Hey ladies, this was a nice finish to a great story.  I think that the "I'm not good enough for you" drama is truly typical Snape, but I'm glad that it didn't drag out forever.  I don't think this needed an epilogue.  Instead of ending, this story is really just beginning.  I must admit that good old Yorick will definitely be missed.  Nicely done!

That is rather bad for authors to put such a cliffie. I hope it won't be too long for the next chapter. I don't really fear that Severus will die but one never know. Plus Yorick may ignore his masrer's command and SEND the letter. That would be great and should provitd a lot of fun with an angry Hermione flying to save her love.

Nasty cliffie.

So let me get this straight.  You spoil us rotten with a bunch of chapters coming hot on the heels of each one before it, and now you wait until we have a real cliffhanger to have a slight delay?!?!  You gals never struck me as evil before... :)Still, this was a great chapter.  While I didn't necessarily think that Hermione's version of the antidote would be the one, I sure didn't expect our furry friends to die.Severus is in rare form here.  I love how annoyed he is that she is brewing so well, but then he decides it is ok when he realizes that his superior teaching skills probably played a part in her abilities.  His will is two lines long.  It's kind of funny in a sad sort of way that that is all that is necessary.  And his note for her is so matter of fact, you'd think he was explaining why he had to suddenly go out of town for the weekend, not why he had inadvertantly killed himself.  I do hope his thoughts are correct because if he dies she will surely find a way to save him just so she can kill him herself.  Looking very forward to whatever is in store for these two.  It has been a long journey and I am certain it won't end badly for them.  Um, right?

It says "unconscious", not "dead."  I have to take consolation in that fact.  And in that you've done 32 chapters so far and would not have come so far to have them be kept away by something as silly as death at the hands of a potion.  I look forward to more.  Truffles - Sara

Gasp..OH NO This is not good...PLEASE PLEASE tell me Severus survives and is alright, that the spell is broken...Hermione just has to find him in time....Is worried now....SNIFF!!!!  WELL DONE!!!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear! And you leave us this way??? How cruel. He simply MUST survive and be cured. And I must admit that if this were my story, I would have left you hanging there as well... Muahahaha!Post again SOOOON, please.

Evil Cliffie!Somehow I fell off the notice list and missed half the story. Glad I found it again.

ahhhhh!!!! evil cliffy! update coming soon????

Oh no!  Well, maybe the pain killed the mousies?  Their hearts do run awfully quickly- maybe, like rabbits occasionally do, their hearts just stopped?  Poor mice, poor Severus, and... *crinkly eyebrows!*

That was fairly incredible and you are leaving us here for a few weeks?  Sigh.  Well, RL definitely takes precedence, but I will still be waiting anxiously.

Still calling her Siren.  It makes me cry every time he does.  Looks like Severus is going to have a purifying trial, and we will have the trial of having to wait to find out what happens.  I loved the way they teased each other in this chapter.  Only one chapter to go?  So I guess it's going to be worth the wait ;)

If he doesn't die she's going to kill him! :)

OMG OMG OMG....oh noo, don't die severus.  What a CLIFFIE!  OMG.

I hope help will arrive in time...!

poor mices!ah sev ~rubs his back and eats an ice pop~ every little thing comes right in the end, eventually ^.^ one way or another.at least you aren't like that one Sev in that other story! he royally messed everything up for himself and his hermione...now he is one sad panda!

What a lovely date!  Well, except for the Malfoy encounter, but they managed to emerge from that relatively unscathed.  I want them to cancel the rest of their lives, and spend 24/7 on research.  The answer has to be there and if anyone can find it, it is they.  Keep on churnin out chapters... I'm anxious to get them together for real, and for good.

oh, my...she did handle them perfectly.  wonderful update.  thanks and mucho smoochies

Sigh.  You would think Draco would grow up.  But apparently not.

I love it.

Lorenzo had better behave! :)
