This is wonderful enough to make me want to visit a seedy little bar-- except your Snape wouldn't be there to offer life advice.

Very interesting start. I'm looking forward to reading more!!!

I have loved all your HG/ss stories and this one has started really well...more more soon!!!!!!

I'm so happy and excited that you've starting another fic! I'm loving the drama already! :)

Now that's an intriguing start! I'm so glad that you decided to give us another piece of your excellent writing.

I have to say, this is one of my favorite fics from the Exchange. It is beautifully written and pulls the reader along on an emotional rollercoaster, or should I say ferris wheel?

Good Lord, you're a fabulous writer. It is such a gift to be able to open a story with just enough exposition to suck the reader in, but still leave so much mystery that we're crying for more chapters.

Oooh! Intruiging! I love it so far!

Wow- great read - this piece is intoxicating - you have a great plot and you've done wonders with your imagery - keep up the good work - can't wait to see more!!

marvellous, you are back, as ever  in fluent language, a joy to read and a new topic, too. Who wants more? Me....xoxox

Welcome back, sister!There are about 30 other things that I need to be doing right now - chief among them going to bed - but I was so delighted to learn that you'd started another story, that  all other plans have been mercilessly abandoned.  What a *delicious* idea.  I have often wondered how Hermione's parents ended up;  at this point, I've read so much ff on the subject that it actually takes me a minute to remember that JKR probably would have given them back their memories, seamlessly, so as to better wrap up her larger tale.  Your path for them is far, far more interesting.Talk to you again soon!Cheers,Christina

I'm torn between waiting anxiously for the next chapter to post and rushing over to LJ and the rest right now. I turly like reading (and reviewing) here on TPP best due to the ease of seeing responses, etc. but boy have you made it hard to wait. lol Will Severus let her walk out? Will he stop her?? What might he say to her now and why did she let him just waltz through her mind like that? So many questions and the answers just a click away... ~sigh~ I will try to be patient and wait for the chapters to come to TPP, but my reviews may end up scattered all over the interweb before the entirety of the fic is posted here if it is a long one. :)

What a lucious beginning, Lariope! I can hardly wait for more.I can see Snape quite clearly in his fortune teller role, only granting readings when he has built up enough energy to suffer through all of those endless hours with the public. He finds his strength from within. These sessions tax his reserves, but he is strong, or he was until Hermione showed up at his door...

Wow, what an excellent, original story!  I hope you update frequently, because I'm REALLY looking forward to more.

facinating!!  what a phenominal story.  i really love the fact that you've examined what happened to her parents and how they dealt with what she did.  great stuff.  thanks so much

Ooh...fascinating premise! I cannot wait to see what happens next!

what a sexy f***ing cliffy!  Lurve!

Wow. What an amazing start. I love the originality of the idea behind this fic. I am most intrigued and completely hooked already. Of course, because it is YOU, I knew that it would be phenomenal. I eagerly await the next installment dear!

I really, really, really want to read the next chapter of this.

That was wonderful. I didn't realize until I saw your name how much I've missed reading your writing.

That was so sweet and kinda sad at the time. I am not sure whether to be sad for them, or happy.

This...was awsome. Beautiful. And should certainly be longer. <3

Not a "love at first sight story" for me but a wonderful one after I looked at it a little longer. At first I could not imagine a world in which even a noncanon Snape would dress in the way you described it and work as a fortune teller. But - and honestly I  normally decide very fast if I continue stories - I could not leave it. I had to read further. And after I finished I was still a little bit disturbed, not of the ending but of my opinion of the whole thing. And now even after some days I thought about it again and had to come back to leave a few words. I think you have the very rare talent to convince people of your stories even if the don´t want to. The same thing happened to me witzh Second Life. So please convince me further. I´m looking forward to read some more of your stuff.

A wondeful and unique story, so glad that I found it!  Really wish there was a sequel, so that we could see how/whe/if Hermione ever finds her way back to Snape.  :)
