I wonder how many other DE hideouts they will find before arriving at Riddle's lair...dum de dum dum!

They might should listen to the old man, but then Harry....oh well.

I've just read up to this chapter in one sitting. It's a really good read, looking forward to more. Excited to hear you have so much written and ready to post soon.

Oh no.  Poor Snape.

Oh man, you sure can write!  I love these stories where Snape is a wreck in the beginning.  I hope they get themselves sorted out, though.  Anyway, I'm intrigued and very much interested in reading the next chapter!

Oh, we are gettiing closer!

poor hermione.  i've found it's easier to forgive people that hurt us rather than those who hurt the ones we love.  wonderful update.  thanks so much

I think this was a necessary chapter. Hermione needed to confront her feelings regarding her parents murders. In the beginning of your story she had run away from her life because of it. Perhaps her confrontation will help her go forward from here.

Your mistake is to our benefit. I enjoyed the chapter. It shows a very human side to Hermione (not always the goodie two shoes) and a wise and compassionate side to Snape/Raven. They both have their demonds, but they will help each other confront them.

THose house-elves are very handy! :)

I liked this chapter very much.  The interlude with the Gypsies gave them a chance to rest and learn things that might have taken them days of searching to uncover.

I'm glad that Raven kept Hermione from taking her revenge on the Death Eaters.  Though they deserved it, Hermione would have been very sorry for it afterward.Nice work, and I'm looking forward to your next update.Beth

yikes, I hope she doesn't leave him again like that.  good thing he had the quick sense to call Dobby.  wonder why those Death Eaters were there....  thanks for updating!

I would be in a constant state of panic if I were Hermione. Talk about the stress of knowing her love, Raven, will soon melt back into Snape. Ugh! I worry.

OMG another camping trip!! Thankfully this one is not nearly as grim. Im worried about their trip. It seems like such a needle in a haystack.

Oh, I'm scared for what the future will bring!  Scared, but hopeful.

Your previous chapters have been no less visually interesting than this one :) I like so much tenderness between the characters; I wish Snape would be as tender, but, of course, with his (in)famous shade of sarcastic wit... Your description of places is so appealing! Please, keep writing!

They are both so damaged. This is going to be so difficult.

Very nice chapter, I found it quite enjoyable.

I like this story! Severus without memories could be a more sensitive man. It's a good idea.

"She placed a bowel of oatmeal"I think you mean "bowl"! :) Great premise!

Gorgeous chapter, I really enjoyed it! The memories are shocking but necessary I think.

How horrible that his mother would request that he kill his own father at the tender age of five. No wonder he joined the DEs. But if the abuse continued as he grew, he would have probably killed the man without his mother's urging. Your version of Tobias is truly bad to the core.

Nightmares for Hermione and bad memories for Raven/Severus as a child.  Maybe he should forget "finding himself".  You torture me with angst, G.  Update soon, I'm begging.

Your story is really giving us the feel of Severus' background and going a long way to explain why, after being brought up trying to avoid the wrath of such a cruel, hateful and ignorant father, he became the person he was. As such is getting deeper and deeper and just better and better! :-)

I'm actually glad she had a nightmare so that he could comfort her, instead of Raven always being the one in need of Hermione's help.  Here's hoping they have a plan in case they encounter any Inferi -- brrrr!!  Thanks for updating.
