I LOVE this story, and I hope you aren't dangling that carrot just to have us cry out!  PLEASE PLEASE O PRETTY PLEASE!sapphire_pheonix's response: Okay--I know this is sort of uncouth, doubling up on my own review, but... seriously--how can I mark you as a fave author if your are hidden before voting. 

:) Severus Senoir was right, it was all working out just as it had in his past, jsut as it had to lead him and Hermione together. :) ~sigh~ I do feel heart-broken for young Severus though, having to wait all these years to finally know his wife again. But I'm considering it a happy ending all around, despite the waiting and torment that Severus will have to go through in the process. Excellent story.

Whoa!! I can see yoSnape's point - and older Snape's given early - of how difficult it would be to know you will have a wonderful life with this person who sees you only as her teacher and a sort of mentor for many many years to come. No wonder Severus resented her for a bit, and no wonder young Severus resents her now.

This is trully a wonderful story. I loved your ability to write both the younger and older Snape's so well, defining the younger, more selfish version and then the more mature one.

I am a little confuzzled. How could the younger Snape have physically aged so much in just one month? Was it just the fact that he was pining for a new love, or is it at all possible that the older Snape switched with the younger one?

Great ending! Wonder if he ever tells Dumbledore who it is he is pining for now? :)

I would love to see how Severus and Hermione get together and fall in love. It's still not quite full circle yet. Wonderful story, I enjoyed reading it!

Uh-oh. I am speechless

*Scuttles off to next chapter*

Young Severus seems to be so bitter about Lily. Leaving him and marrying a pure blood, that he is putting his prejudices about Muggle-borns onto Hermione.

I can't wait to see what he makes of her now he knows some of what she has gone through.

I can imagine some of Hermione's frustration. Not only does she have a younger, yet very different version of her husband in her home, but then a irrisponsible and vaguely pathetic Ron blames her for all his troubles.

Hee hee. Young Severusus has been listening happily to his older self being yelled at an thougroughly berated, and now he need to watch out or he will be getting his ears boxed!

Phew. At least the younger Snape had started to see reason for a bit.

It seems like certain things are meant to happen in this timeline, and whatever the elder Snape does to prevent them, they are going to happen anyway.

Thank you very much for sharing your words. Very enjoyable read.

Surely not THE END! I thought for sure you'd sneak a hot threesome in there somewhere.. XP

I am so totally in love with this story—and both Snapes and Hermione!  You told such a beautiful and deeply moving tale of two men who are one and who are both deeply in love with their present and future wife.The way you portrayed Older!Snape and Younger!Snape was perfect, and I found myself grieving for the younger man as he had to leave the woman he had come to love as much as his older self loved her.  I predict this will become a favorite of many readers and will one day appear on the computer screens of many more.  It is brilliant!Thank you for sharing this story with us, and I can't wait to find out who you are.  I wonder... will you be writing more about these people?  •  I'd love to more about what happened to Hermione and Older!Severus after his younger self had gone back to his own time.  •  I love to read more about Younger!Severus when I saw Hermione when she came to Hogwarts as a new student.•  I'd love to see how Older!Severus proposed to Hermione, to find out more about why she said she was horrible to him.

•  I love to read anything you'd like to write about this amazing plot.

•  Thousand Point to Your House!  And some flowers:  Beth

Please do one more chapter of when he eithers sees her for the first time in the great hall or when he proproses.

I really, really enjoyed this story - I don't think I've ever read such a time-turner story like this before - this was brilliant, wonderfully written and just fun to read (I loved how well you blended humor with the most serious of moments).If you do plan on showing 'The Wooing of Hermione' (since I bet most of your faithful readers are very curious as to how she refused him initially!) you've got you first reader set up!

It seems to me like the younger Snape has a bit of Marauder in him.
Typical of older Snape to unintentionally put ideas into his younger self's head!

I really enjoyed this story.  I would love to see the other side of it, Junior devloping into Snape and how the relationship with Hermione began.  A very good twist on time turner use.

I loved it! Written very well and I absolutely loved it!

I really, really loved this story.  It expressed all my conflicting emotions about Snape/Hermione love stories I read.  Sometimes, he's great and flawed and I'm excited to see them fall in love.  Sometimes, he's written as flawed and twisted and he doesn't deserve Hermione.  You managed to encapsulate both these kinds of stories within one.  And I still managed to feel sympathy for Junior and his problems - despite the fact that's he's a sick bastard who shouldn't be kissing Hermione in the kitchen.There's so much wrong with Hermione and Snape and young Snape and they are such interesting characters.  My one complaint is that there wasn't more.  Excellent story.

Wow, cool ending. The circle is now complete and is going to repeat itself. I've enjoyed this story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

really interesting.  weird.  I like it.

Love the story, and your Snape. Both of them!

And hate her he did, at least for a little while.

wow!  what a ride!  great story.  thanks for sharing your time talent and vision.  smoochies forever
