Definitely different ... I can't wait to see where you take things from here, Great beginning!

This is quite interesting.  I don't think I've seen this premise before.

That was really cool.  Severus is annoyed in death as he was in life.  LOL.  What's up with Hermione popping in like that.  I'll stay tuned to find out!

Very good start am interested to see where this leads.

I really enjoyed this, especially the dark element of *what if it goes wrong?* which made it quite tense. 

That  was fantastic! A lot of effort would have to have gone into this! It was so believable.

Very sweet.  You do an excellent ob of writing so as to evoke emotion. 

Thank you!


Looking forward to what else you have to write!


:)

Aww, a cute story, though i wish it were longer and followed more into the future with them. I kept wondering if he would be brought back, or if they'd fail after falling for each other, and hermione would eventually kill herself to be with him, like the original owner of the stone had. I'm glad it worked out happily. :)

I'm sorry, but through this chapter i was remembering the stuff from greek mythology, and the odyssey, stuff like "don't let the dead come too close for they will suck the life out of the living" and "if they get the scent of blood they will overwhelm you" and other things, things where the dead become so obsessed with the warmth of life that they forget themselves.  I was sure that when snape felt hermione's warm hand he would go nuts and not let her go.  oh well.

Aaww... I love this ending!  Thank you for making me happy.  I have found myself imagining what their lives would be like in the years to come, so you have definitely left room for an epilogue or sequel should your muse ever decide one needs to be written.Well done!Beth

I just now caught up with this - really great story line - thanks for all of your hard work!

that was wonderful.

Yay, it worked!  You had me nervous there for a moment when Severus mused that he could possibly go into an 'endless' sleep.  Not what I was hoping.  But it worked!  Yay!  And they told each other their feelings, too. 

What a lovely gift for your readers.  I love a happy ending.  Just the right amount of humor and tenderness.

what a wonderful story! So tender and beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

I very much enjoyed your story!  I'm a happy ending junkie (real life has enough angst!) so am glad they're together.  Hope you don't mess that up in an epilogue   .  Thanks for your work!

Ahh. Such an amazing story. Lovely!

A perfect story in just 5 chapters. Do feel free to write an epilogue though hehe.

Now, to tell everyone... :)

That was lovely, so very glad the potion worked.  Is this the death of SnarkySnape and the birth of Well-adjustedSnape?

So why do I feel so scared?  (when everything appears to be so wonderful).Hoping the "other shoe" isn't about to drop---and remember I'm a sucker for happy endings!

Who would ever guess that a simple black rock could be so powerful?  To be sure, the Resurrection Stone was powerful, but I think it is the Witch and the Wizard who are using it that are the truly powerful entities in this equation.I am thrilled that her potions and charms have made it possible for each of them to be in each other's world.  Now if his potion works, they can be together in life.  Dare I hope?  What ever happens, I want them both to be at least contented, if not deliriously happy.I was beside myself when they were able to hold each other, and I really liked it when she kissed his cheek.  I wonder how it felt to Severus.  Only five days to go before they (and we) will know if their efforts will be successful.  I will be sorry for this story to end after the next chapter, but I must tell you what a wonderful, sweet story you have penned.  Thank you for sharing it with us.Beth

Oh, I hope with all my heart that their plan will be successful!  It is obvious that they are falling in love with each other.  When Severus told her that he hated his existence my heart just broke for him.  "I spend everyday waiting for you to call me. All of the people I loved during my lifetime don’t want to spend this life with me.”

How awful to not only have died, but to have nothing to look forward to for eternity!  When he lifted his hand to touch her face, I held my breath, hoping that they would at least share the sense of touch.  But he turned away and confessed his unhappiness with his life after death.These potions, the one he is brewing to cheat death, and the one Hermione will be brewing to bridge their two worlds, are a long shot... but if any people can pull this off, it is these two.  Not only are both very talented, but they have the added incentive of wanting to be together.  Severus has already told Hermione that he spends every day looking forward to her visits, and she has realized that she obsessively loves her nightly visits with Severus.  I hope this works!

Great chapter!Beth

What an intriguing story. I really like the plot and premis. And my heart was also pounding at the end of this chapter. I just hope that she doesn't do too much damage to her soul to bring him back. Perhaps his renewed life will help her to heal if it does.Great job. I anxiously await your next post.

Closer and closer they become! :)
