I am glad Molly is so supportive of the two of them. I'm sure it must be a relief for Hermione to have a mother figure to be able to pore her heart out to.

Yes, Livvy and I'm going to die from want also! I'm totally gobsmacked everytime I read another chapter from this story. It's just getting better and better. And now Sirius is eyeing her up too. Splendid stuff! Bloody hell....two young blokes delivered me some furniture today and one looked liked a young Remus and the other a young Sirius.....Honest to God! This way to the bedroom boys.......whoa, down girl! I think it's official. I'm reading too much fanfic and not getting out enough. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx. 

Another great chapter Livvy.  I was so excited to see that you had updated.  I'm so looking forward to the wedding but at the same time upset that we are at OOTP (my least favorite of the books, I wasn't a fan of the angsty whiny Harry).  I'm sure you'll find a way to make me love OOTP.

I love this story!! I'm glad you finally uploaded a new chapter! :) It was really interesting! I had totally forgotten how Hermione had thrown off the Imperius Curse!.. I can't wait to know whats going to happen!! How will Harry and the others react when they know about Hermione's true identity? And what about Voldemort, is he planning something??!I can't wait!! Hope to read more soon! :)

Getting closer... to chapter 45!  I like your portrayal of understanding Molly.  I've read a lot of harpy Molly, so your change of character was nice.  Another great chappie.

Maybe Severus can come up with some sort of potion after the war that will advance Hermione's bodily age to that of her mental age.

Well I am glad the Hermione is out in the open as far as the Order goes.  I think Molly will be a good sounding board for Hermione.  And poor Severus.  JK did not write what happened to him the summer after Voldemort returned I can see him being used and abused by the Dark Lord.  Hermione's birthday can't come soon enough for our star crossed lovers.

Good grief, year four has been excruciating!  I don't know how they can stand being so close but so far from her b-day.  I like that she has Molly to confide in.  Great chapter as always.

Voldemort severely punished Severus for not showing up at his rebirth.  Thank goodness Hermione was well prepared to care for him.  I'm certain it is his love for her that fuels his determination to maintain the fiction that he is loyal to the Dark Lord.

I really enjoyed Molly's recollection of the things Bill had said about this girl he attended Hogwarts with who was Professor Snape's assistant.  I had to laugh when Molly said that the members of the Order used to talk about this Jessica Irving who trained with Kingsley and Moody.  How good it must feel for Hermione to have someone to talk to who knows about her past and her long time relationship with Severus.  And now Molly knows that she and Severus will be married on Hermione's 16th birthday.  What a relief!

I thought it was uncalled for when Moody asked Hermione what she did to throw off the Imperius Curse.  When Severus asked her about it later, I was afraid that she would blow his top.  Even so, earlier in the evening when Dumbledore told the Order about Severus and Hermione and their upcoming marriage, Sirius' reaction came close to pushing Severus over the edge, but he managed to curb his emotions and simply put Sirius in his place with his trademark remarks.

I have to wonder if anyone is aware of the little "bug" Hermione keeps in her room... does Severus even know?  It's a good thing that Hermione has all the control over the newshound, or she would be telling the world about everything she heard and saw take place between the two lovers.  Please tell me that this war will all be over before the promised year of silence is past, otherwise that opportunist reporter will tell it far and wide that Severus Snape is loyal to the light and is married to Hermione Granger.

Another great chapter, Livvy!  I can't wait for September 19th to arrive.  Oh, if Rita is still in residence, I hope Hermione puts her jar someplace where she can't observe the festivities on their wedding night.Beth

Oh wow!!

Quite the intriguing chapter. I'm glad that she has Molly as a confidont and that so many of the Order accepted her and Severus' betrothal. What in the blazes is Sirius' problem though, that he couldn't get his eyes off her? I mean, Remus is expected, and Moody was a git, but Sirius is going to be a problem, I think.ANd Severus, git, a bit of fooling around isn't goign to kill you! *snerk* or could bepending on how randy you are.

Only two more months before S&H can wed!  It will be tough to keep Harry and Ron in line this year, and Umbridge.... eeks!  Thanks for the new chapter, and I'm already worried about what they'll do with Umbridge on the loose.

Yes, that last sentence captures my thoughts exactly... Great work!!!!

When do they tell Harry, Ron etc about Hermione. When they marry, or later? It's going to be even harder for her to sit in his class once they are married! :)

Brilliant deductions on behind the scenes action. Sirius, Severus, Rita-in-a-bottle. This is the stuff that makes "Just Harry" interesting; figuring out what the adults were doing while JKR was writing about the boring little boy!Do you think Hermione could patent the In A Bottle For The Summer Diet? Surely Rita lost weight being confined and only having leaves to nibble! Or might the British see that as cruelty to bugs?

loving the story so far- absolutely fabulous

excellent. 

I am glad Hermione is the stronger of the two of them> i could only imagine Severus' reaction when he sobered up and found he had done what he had vowed not to do! She is much stronger than me!I love how you ended the chapter. Hermione could not let her beloved go off into known danger without saying goodbye.I wonder if Hermione will take the bug with her to Severus' chambers. What a sight that would be, and she would not be able to write a thing about it!! 

Yay, this was a great chapter, but I'm really looking forward to leaving canon again! Really good work!

I am glad Hermione can put her past hatred of Sirius into the past. She has to realise that what he went through would change a person drastically.

At least Sirius was able to admit to Hermione that he knew about her attempts to help the Muggle girls. I wonder if Snape is going to be satisfied with just being togetherN or if he is going to go off the rails again with jelousy?

excellent!  I can't wait for more updates.

That was great. But you are really going to make us wait 5 chapters?

i never really liked sirius that much.  great update.  thanks so much

Thanks for posting the update - you've written a really compelling story - one of the best time traveler stories I've read yet.  Keep up the good work!!!
