He has problems with trust, giving and receiving affection but it sounds like he's mending. I'm glad to see your take on his life. I'm looking forward to reading more of your work.

Nice ending. :)

oh yes.  i'm so glad he was able to let her go.  thanks so much for this emotional drabble.

I'm glad he let go of the past finally. He deserves so much  to be happy.

Yeah!!!  I worried for a bit - you did a grand job with keeping it far from predictable!!  Thank you so much for a grand read!

excellent - but will next chapter's goodbye be for HG or LE????  thanks for such a great time -

Brilliant ending. Thank you.

so true so true.  thanks

Yep, she does understand, doesn't she?  Hopefully Severus won't chalk it up to 'silly girl' romances.  He was a teen when he fell in love with Lily.

For once, I doubt she can compare what she felt for Ron with what he feels for Lily. But it can help him it's worth trying.

True.  She knows the feeling, even though she has not had the length of his experience. :)

I am enjoying the conversation between Hermione and Severus. He needs to talk about how he feels and what happened! You are getting right to the heart of his feelings.

I'm so glad that I started following this story. You have a gift, an art of saying so much with so few words. This was probably the most emotionally charged chapter I've read and you did it so simply and eloquently. I'd give you 10 stars! **********

Oh, ouch that must have hurt, being made to see his realtionship with Lily truthfully!

Listen Severus, here is someone who truly cares about you. Lily wasn't white and certainly not as pure as you paint her in memory. It is time for him to move on.

Oh nicely summed up, except forgot to mantion 'and hated her son because if it,' part.

Beautifully truthfully stated and yet, so sad the feels that way.

 Oop. Hit the truth right on the head, didn't she?

LOL lived the Mr Super-Death-Eater-Spy-Man, bit. His robes even act like a super hero cape.

She's right you know. He should lern to live and love again

Excellent!!  Thank you so much for your work!

There's a thought.  :)

Good question, hope it opens his eyes.

Looking forward to the next post.

Certainly doesn't sound like someone who understands.  :)

Its very interesting to read.  I like your writing style.
