That was sooo sad and soo sweet and I really hope she won't let herself be pushed away!! Great chapter!

‘I love you, Severus,’ she murmured, her fingers tangling in his hair.

Clever girl. Please, Severus, don't pull away from her.
Thanks, Subversa, for the chapter!

That was so  bitter-sweet -- or better stated, sweet-bitter! I hope you can make things work out for them.

Clever girl figured him out.  But will he be clever enough to accept her love? :)

oh wow!!  poor man!

OmG, this is so sad. I'm happy that she figured it out on her own, which I figured she would. But this was just heart-wrenching. they finally come together and he's going to bail out on her. Stupid man. I hope they work things out soon. Much Love ~ Brena

So revealing, so beautiful, so sad.  Happy ending?

beautiful chapter--oh Severus, why must you always be so proper. 
Can't wait for the next installment!

Oh gosh - trying to pull the "noble git" one again, is he? I hope you won't let him get away with it.

Oh, no! It was so beautiful and then Severus has to go and be "Oh, woe is me! We can ne'er be togetherrr!!". Poor Hermione. Man, I'd hex him. He needs to listen to Luna more than Hermione does. Look with your heart, you stupid man! (LoL.) Other than Severus' spectacular mistake, this was a beautiful chapter and I'm sad that the story seems to have taken a turn for the angsty. There's still hope, though, right? *crosses fingers*

Thanks so much!

Men are sometimes so dumb!!! I hope that he will not do what he has intended... No...

come on not now!!!! another snape "I will leave her for her own good" response?!?!?! I hope you don't let it drag on too long, but then again your writing is so fantastic whatever you do will inevitable be the perfect decision. I will leave my qualms about cliches aside and trust your able mind. I cannot wait for the next chapter...why is it whenever you are writing a story it is always the one I am the most excited about reading...?

keep up the wonderful work! update again soon!

Ah, poor Severus, has to be seventeen again or die a terible death.  LOL!!!  Maybe Hermione with him this time he won't make the same mistakes he did the first time.

*sigh*  what a lovely christmas.  thanks so  much

Go Neville! And yes, Severus, contentment can be normal. That first embrace when they first see each other that morning took my breath away with the intensity.

I'm not sure I can see Severus with a gold bracelet, but it is a powerful image, as is them asleep together on the couch in the common room. Albus has to know they're getting up to stuff, just the two of them, totally unchaperoned.

beautiful!  thanks!

OMG This was so cute!  I loved how they decorated their own tiny tree and then sat in front of it all night.  It was so cute and very mushy.  I hope that he tells her soon.  Much Love ~ Brena

Gads! I wish Adin/Severus would throw his scruples in the lake and just shag her already. But I have a feeling that he'll turn back into Professor Snape soon and then he anad Dumbledore will have to find a way to explain Adin's sudden departure to a very hurt Hermione.

What a sweet chapter.  Young romance is in full bloom.

What a wonderful Christmas they had!  Will Severus/Adin need to spend the entire school year waiting for a cure?  I don't think I could stand the suspense!

*‘Is it smut?’ he asked, with a perfectly straight face.*

LOL  That was great.  I am looking forward to Adin revealing himself.  I'd like it if Hermione discovered it herself, so Snape isn't yelled at or hurt.  You've made me care so much for the poor guy.  I love this story.  Please give us more, soon!

Wonderful, but what if Dumbledore finds out about them.

happy christmas, indeed.  *sighs*  nice touch with the gifties.  :D

does she know yet?

How sweet!
