This was a great story. Very entertaining and yet realistic. I think you did a wonderful job.

I am loving this story so far. I think the plot is great and goes about the time turner story in a new way. I love the development of the characters too. I'm amazed that I've stuck through so many chapters, but the story is worth it.

“Okay, remember that after Harry defeated the Dark Lord, he went away to hide and gather his strength. He went to Albania. Well, why the hell Albania of all places? I think he must have talked to the Grey Lady or the Bloody Baron, found out about the Diadem and retrieved it with the help of Wormtail. Now, Severus, no tickling while undressing me, I’m trying to talk! I think the night he came here to apply for the Defense job, he knew he wasn’t going to get it. He is many things—but stupid is not one of them. I think he hid the Diadem here, already a Horcrux, and we are going to—FIND IT!”

Awww you made Tonks and Hermione friends! *has always loved Tonks* *dances happily* This was a very interesting chapter! And I really like the Hermione-Molly-Tonks trio x).

I love the way you keep integrating new Hermione to the original story - like it really has been this way all along x) It's brilliant! I only feel bad for Ron, Harry and her parents x.x I wish she'd tell them the truth. I know it'd cause a lot of problems, but were I Harry, I'd feel like my friendship with Hermione has been a bunch of lies :(.

That was a wonderful fic!

a million gazillion points to your house. i seriously cannot love this story enough. i read through the whole thing in a night and 74 chapters just wasn't enough! please please say there'll be a sequel?? pretty please?

I loved this story! The ending was perfect! I'm a bit sad it is finally over, but hopefully we'll hear from you in the future with another excellent story.. .. The little one speaking Parseltongue left me wondering though, is there gonna be a sequel?Anyway, as I have already said, this last chapter for me was the perfect closure. Congratulations Livvy!

beautiful

For the record I would have been with a drunken, smelly snape.. at least in the shower ;)

AND Hermione finally caught Rita YAY! Make sure the beetlebitch gets what she deserves! ;)

I was worried at first when you said this chapter was mostly cannon. It turned out I had no need to worry at all. You used the perfect amount of quotes and still kept everything moving along nicely from Hermione's POV. My heart was breaking for Severus and Hermione at the end. The whole situation is scary as hell and I kept thinking "What if that was Brett (my husband) going off to get himself killed?" So scary! Please update again soon! Much Love ~ Brena

Hey again. I'm so glad I'm finally catching up. Omg, I loved the scene where Hermione works out who Moody actually is, it was just perfect! I also loved Severus' commentary on how they forgot to tell the map to separate between Sr & Jr. Haha! Much Love ~ Brena

Oh, wow, how touching. I seriously love hearing the two of them get out the crap they've been holding onto. I also love how bad-ass Hermione is when dealing with Ms. Skeeter. Thanks for the lemon slice in the middle, it was very much appreciated! Much Love ~ Brena

Hey Livvy. I'm sorry I'm so behind on reading/reviewing. Lots of RL drama going on with me. Anyways, this chapter was awesome. You've got a lot of really fantastic things going on. I am constantly impressed with Hermione's ability to call Severus on his shit. I also love the tentative friendship that is beginning with Sirius. I'm happy to see that they both haave owned up to their past mistakes and pre conceived notions about eachother. I'm off to see what happens next. Much Move ~ Brena

Yes!  Skeeter's in for a rude awakening for sure!  She's such a horrible woman, I can't stand her one bit.I have loved reading this fantastic story and can't wait to see where you will be taking Hermione and Severus next.  :D

And the bug misses out on her exclusive story.

I enjoyed Severus and Hermione time. Glad she's finally almost there.

And it was interesting to see what happened while the four competitors were in the maze. Nobody gives that much thought.

Another wonderful chapter under your belt.  At first I was a little leary about this story but now I can't wait for updates.  I love how you have incorporated the books into this story and brought them out in a different perspective.  Poor Severus he has had to wait so many years to be with his Hermione and now Voldi is back.

Another wonderful chapter Livvy.  I'm so excited for Hermione's birthday... :)

You've done a great job of integrating canon into the story!  I like the way you denoted the quotes from JKR's book, and it fit perfectly into the narrative.  The way you describe the the third task was brilliant without going into so much detail.

I loved when Hermione went to the dungeons to check on Severus and found him drunk as a skunk.  He was so funny going on about her pink knickers and watching the revels.  "I have read and was fortunate to have friends to demonstrate the pictures. I can’t wait to try it out. I am sick of wanking. Let’s have a bit of fun, ‘Mione.” “Would you help me and bring me off?”   “You want me, Hermione. Touch it, just touch it,”

Oh my lord, she was so good to make him drink that sobering-up potion.  I don't know if I could have been so noble.  LOL!

I'm happy that Hermione ran after Severus as he left the infirmary to go to Voldemort.  I don't think she could have stood to not see him before he left the castle.  I don't know if he will really make it back to Hogwarts by tomorrow, but I hope he will... and I hope the Dark Lord hasn't punished him.  Whatever happens, at least he has set the wards to his rooms to recognize her wand.  She will be able to wait for him there instead of trying to sit in the Gryffindor Common Room and pretend that she isn't terrified.

And she will have her little "bug-in-a-jar" to occupy her time until Severus returns.  That should bring her a bit of fun.

I'm really looking forward to the next chapters, Livvy.Beth

As much as I ADORE this story, I find the love declarations a bit over the top x.x  They're all so absolute and poetic - they sound sometimes more like quotes than real dialogue >.<.Also, since their kiss, they have barely talked about anything but having discussions about their eternal love for each other //making oaths - and while it IS nice and passionate and hot (very much so) it'd be nice to get some normal dialogue// plain, everyday conversation - even small bickering :) After all that's what they fell in love with!*keeps reading* I'm totally hooked x) You are such a good writer!

Wow. I really want to hex Lily into an alternative dimension! I don't really know how Hermione and Severus could stand her in the past year x.x It only reinforced my belief.. Innocence can indeed be a crime.This story has been so interesting so far! I can't wait to finish it! It looks like it's going to be so much fun.

I really really like your portrayal of Lily here. How she's so obviously caught between so many different people and bogged under a lot of expectations while trying to grow into herself as well. I definitely can see this happening where she loves Sev and knows how much he needs her but eventually it becoming too much to handle. Anyway, yes, this has been a great insight into the character for me since I always thought she was a bit of a twit for walking away from Sev like she did (but in this kind of case I can't really blame her). Lovely story so far! I can't wait to read more.

Bravo Livvy. It's 00.45 hours and I really should be asleep but this chapter was just so rivetting. I really can't wait until her birthday when they can get it on properly again. You have been so talented throughout this tale in the way you have managed to weave canon so effortlessly into your story. Or is that your special forte.....that you just make it look easy? Well done anyway. Best wishes, Love (a very sleepy) Ali xxxxxx.  

gotcha!  terrific update.  thanks muchly

four more months!  i know the feeling!  it's 7 1/2 for me!  great update.  thanks muchly
