A great end to the story!  Everyone lives happily-ever-after, with the exception of Lestrange. >:)  Which I am perfectly okay with.  Good luck with your future stories.

yay! a happy ending!  but couldn't we have made umbitch miserable, too?  i begrudge her every drop of happiness.  wonderful story.  thanks muchly for sharing you talent and vision

finally!  i think his punishment and hers would be best served by putting them in a cell together!  terrific update.  thanks muchly

So, can the two of them get a bit of alone-time now? Please??? Great chapter!

I was so glad to see Dumbledore apologize to Severus and happy to see Severus graciously accept it. Maybe Severus can finally forgive himself.  It was Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful to see Umbridge and Lestrange get draged off to a jail cell, hopefully together.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

Great job Harry capturing Umbridge and Lestrange, and doing it so quickly.  I Love how Severus kissed Hermione one more time after they were interrupted, that was sexy.  

This chapter was so well thought out loved the trip to the ministry.  Taking the cat plates was a great way to keep umbridge in line.  Loved the way Hermione changed the plate before she sent it back.

This is the best chapter yet, very romantic.  Hermione and Severus are perfect for each other, I love the way they interact. Harry is being wonderfully helpfull.

Such a sad but sweet chapter. A truly beautiful love story.

I wish they would use Umbridge as the test subject for the reversal spell instead of the mice.  I am enjoying this story so much, I can't wait to read the next chapter.

I hate seeing Severus like this, it breaks my heart.  I hope Harry gets the information he needs from that horrible Umbridge.  Another perfect Chapter.

Shame on the ministry, they have taken away the best part of Severus.  This is terrible.  I know Hermiony can fix this, she is such a clever girl.  Thanks for another wonderful chapter.

Oh, good.  It's all getting sorted out nicely! :)

Oh dear, Lestrange isn't one to be underestimated, isn't he? But luckily Severus isn't either.He found Albus, rescued him, got Albus's blessing so to speak and an apology as well. That should lift an enormous weight of his shoulders.This was a really good chapter. Well done! 

Wow, that was a speedy trial.  It's good to see Hermione and Harry are suspicious about the outcome.  Hermiony will figure this out and have everything as it should be.  Another wonderful chapter.  You have a great pace going, keep up the good work.

Oh no, that vile Umbridge woman again.  She is so horrible I hope she gets whats coming to her. Maybe she will get sent to azkaban prison.  I love the way Hermione and Severus are opening up to each other.  This was a great chapter.

Dolores Umbridge YUCK.  I wish the centaurs still had her.  Great chapter even with Umbridge in it :-) 

It's wonderful to see that Hermione still loves to champion a cause.  Harry too.  I hope Dumbledore has a real good reason for not coming forward after everything Severus did to help defeat the dark lord.

Lestrange had a few tricks up his sleeve for Severus when he came to find Dumbledore, and for a minute I was worried that Severus' strength would fail, but I shouldn't have doubted our Potions master.  He handled the hexes and curses nicely.I was glad that Albus was able to see how he had used Severus and others in his plan to defeat Voldemort.  His apology to Severus was a long time coming, but it seemed to be just the thing to ease Severus' mind.Umbridge and Lestrange will get what they deserve!And all the charges against Severus have been dropped!  Good, good, good!  Now I think Severus and Hermione deserve a bit of snuggling and snogging time, and probably some good lovin' would be welcomed.  Doncha think?This entire chapter has put a smile on my face!  Beth

I'm glad that Severus got an apology from Dumbledore; I always thought that if Albus had lived he would have done just that to all those he used.  I think he still would have thought that he'd done the right thing in the end, but he would have been sorry that it had been necessary in the first place.  Having all these years to think about it, though, Albus has probably realized that it hadn't actually been necessary after all.The Toad is dealt with, Severus is pardoned, and Albus is back--I can't wait to see what's next in store for our intrepid bunch!

I really want to do something horrid to Umbridge.  I have read my favorite demise for her, though.  Have you ever read kbinnz's story Harry's New Home?  She has the best Umbridge death ever.

Well done.

Seems to me that this chapter had very little fan fare.  I suspect Severus approves. :)

I'm so thankful that Severus wasn't injured at the LeStrange house when he found and restored Albus.  I held my breath hoping for the best!  Looks like things will be getting a little better for Hermione and Severus now that he is a free man.  Maybe she will get a few more kisses out of the deal or perhaps something even better... hmmm.  Great chapter!  :D

excellent.  Umbridge, that rotten toad!!  I'm so glad she's going to get her comeupppance.  Lestrange, too!
