Perhaps Hermione should have taken her parents to StMungos to visit Nevelle's parents, them maybe they would have understood what she did for them. Ron kicked to the kerb .

Hermione is begining to realize, that there is a world of difference between sex and making love.Ron is an insensitive clod, but Hermione is not making any effort to get him to change his ways. Seeing her bleed for a month, time after time, should have let him know he was doing something wrong, but no he is just too thick and selfish, the sooner Hermione leaves the prat the better. 

Loved this fic so much! Great job, Eugene was sublime, ss/hg interaction was fabulous. This was all kinds of Wonderful!

Your Hermione is so strong! And wise! Even though she's so young. I guess a war can do that to people, especially women. I mean, Ginny was strong also.

I can understand her need to be cherished, I think no one should settle for less but unfortunately a lot of people does.

Eugene was a lucky child to end up with them as parents. So..a Gryffindor...poor Severus :)) But I know he'll accept that. I wonder what Hope will be? :D

I loved reading this story. Thank you!

Lovely,powerful story!!!

Like a lot of other people Harry is attacking others, because he is feeling gulity himself. 

Interesting.  So now Hermione is master of the elder wand, right?  Yep, that's the way it works.

A fascinating and believable characterisation and understanding of Snape, as well as being a well-crafted story with lovely writing! Thanks so much.

I loved it, it has an interesting plot, and fair writing and character development, though though some of the characters could have had more depth, Eugene especially. If you write a sequel, can it please be about Eugene, with a bit of his backstory?

I KNEW THE SLANG!! yay!  (i'm american, so was happy about that)

awesome

a very touching story, it has been a pleasure to read! I loved it from the first chapter to the last...great style!

Outstanding!

I am loving, just POSITIVELY ADORING this story! This is AMAZING. Wow! *And I can soo see Severus akwardly having a man to ten-year-old 'sex talk' Heheeeeeee

Ginny always was a little bit#h. lmfao

So, what the heck's the holdup? Hermione is determined and stubborn. Why hasn't she just went and got Snape's memories back? And WHY would Harry not have immediately been over after she owled Ginny about him? Strange directrion. I wonder whats going on at the Burrow. This is very intriguing.

I love the way Hermione is with these children and the way she tells stories. I think only Eugene is a wizard but it almost seems like a surreal 'otherworld' where all those who died in DH are back as children again. and Yaay. Bout time she finally gets yelled at by Snape. Id take a mean Snape over a dead Snape any day!

I chose this story to read first because of the many reviews. I feel you have kept the characters, well--in character wonderfully. I was sorely disappointed that there was never a 'true' epilogue in DH, I think all of us would have liked to have seen the real reactions of people who are so well renowned they are almost alive. Congrats on your close to 400 reviews and I applaud you. I am going to try and see if I can figure out who you are before voting closes. Excellent work!

how very characteristicly pratish of ron.  i'm glad severus is healing so well.  lovely update. thanks muchly

Ah, Ron's a jerk. You'd think he'd have gotten the hint a long time ago.

It was nice of Harry to repair Severus' wand. And I'm glad Severus was able to repair a little of Harry too.

Good for Severus to put aside his personal feelings in order to help Harry.

So typical of Ron though. No thought of anyone but himself.

I am glad Hermione has been able to convince Severus that he needs to see Harry and help him put his guilt aside.

I can just imagine Severus gloating about his potency over a Weasley!!

I hope this truly signifies the end of Severus' obsession with Lily. He now has so much to live for in the present with Hermione and Eugene, he must stop living in the past.

Poor Hermione. Not only is she dealing with Severus' guilt and depression, but just when she thinks she is making a breakthrough, he goes back to the Lily in the mirror. Good for her though. Breaking the mirror was probably the best thing she could have done.

I am glad Hermione is so patient with Severus. He needs gentleness and reassurance so badly in his life.
