So glad he comforted her. Despite her hard reactions, she knows him and that he's not the bad guy.

Oh wheee! This is so much more satisfying and exciting to read than the original DH. By far. <3 

This story skims canon as closely as Second Life. Perhaps even closer. And the same as Second Life I find myself scared that you might decide to follow canon to the bitter end.The fear is not nice. Not at all. With Hermione hugging and kissing Ron every chance she gets, the fear only increases.Is this going to end as canon? Please make it deviate.

So wonderful! Wish the updates came faster, of course, but I know I musn't be greedy :(I'm a little disconcerted by all the flirting Hermione is doing with Ron, despite her crush on Snape. Loved Ron's knight with the jaunty cap.

Yay! What a great chapter! I love how angry she got with him, pushing him to the ground and all. Her little 'invitation' at the end was wonderful...she misses him I presume. :) Great work...can't wait for more!

Another great chapter! I love it!!!!

sorry, i seem to be running out of superlatives in refering to your story.  at the risk of repeating myself this is a wonderful update in a terrific story.  i'm so entwined and enthralled.  thanks and smoochies forever

wow

amazing.  Your attention to detail makes this all fit in so well with canon.  I'm enjoying it so much!

Really didn't expect them to meet what a suprise! I think the reaction from Hermione about being 'Snapes Mudblood' can be taken as positive or negative personally I want postive, I think she just found it a shock. She obviously wants to see him again. Great chaper.

Oh my. Well I wasn't expecting them to meet. And he does too deserve her forgiveness, he's too hard on himself.I wonder about her thoughts on being chosen by Snape as her "Mudblood"? I think she really doesn't mind as much as he think's she does. But the flinching she did is questionable...I'm glad she got to relieve herself emotionally on his lap. She really needed some big old comfort, and he did the right thing.Anyway, I love this story, I can't say it enough!

What a wonderful chapter!!!

Wow! Severus can definitely let his feelings show when he wants. I found it amazing that he's so in love with Hermione that he was in a complete frenzy until he found for himself that she was alright. I know Hermione was giving him a chance to meet with her, by telling him what time she'll be running on the beach. I hope he meets up with her.

Excellent chapter. I'm glad they finally got to see each other. I knew he wouldn't rest until he had assured himself that she was alright. I can also understand her anger, but I'm glad she forgave him. She has no idea the pressure he is under or the tightrope he has to walk. And it is much worse now than it was when Dumbledore was still alive.

I love the restraint you write into Severus and Hermione's relationship.  They are both prickly sorts and this kind of slow development is very in character for them.  It's fantastic that you've managed to get up to this point in DH without them making any overt declarations.  I really like that Hermione still calls him 'Snape'.And I see Severus is utilising his new power of flight extensively. 

Yeah!!!  You know I am doing a happy dance.  I absolutely loved this chapter.  There is something about their relationship in this story that I just really like.  Ironically enough, I can't seem to be able to define their relationship.  They are not romantically involved, although I think that the underlying emotions are there.  They have definitely moved beyond mere teacher and student.  I would consider them friends, but I can't see them getting together on the weekend, hanging out at someone's place ordering pizza and watching movies and the like.  They don't seem quite that friendly... and yet things seem to run much deeper for them than traditional friends.  I am way over analyzing things :)I really like Jocelyn as well.  And... I think she may become more important as time goes on.  While canon Draco was never 100% into the Death Eater thing, I think your Draco shows a little more reservation in siding with Voldemort's crew and would probably not do so at all if his parents weren't in the mix.  I think even though he is such an antagonist to the golden trio, he has some redemptive qualities.Being able to have her emotional breakdown with Snape was probably very helpful for Hermione.  Not to mention that the possibility of getting info from Vector had to make her feel better about the task at hand.  I hope he takes her up on her roundabout offer to join her on the beach in days to come.  I think they are both going to need someone to draw strength from in the days to come.Well apparently, there is no limit to how many characters you can use in a review, but I ought to stop rambling and leave some room for others ;)  Can't wait for the next update!

very good!  i'd be more vocal if i could get my brain to function properly....it's very late.

They communicated a lot without actually saying anything there. Sweet chapter. :)

I love how you clearly show that Draco is having second, third and even fourth thoughts about being a Death Eater.  You also did a great job showing the family's desperation.

oh my oh my.  that was ever so much more intense than the original.  well done!!  smoochies forever!

Draco is helping, good! :)

excellent!  I look forward to more.  I love that I can bookmark this so I can check in for updates now and then.  I love the details from DH and the way you've worked your own details within it.

wow, this story is great.  It is complicated and intriguing and I keep on reading.

Good old Ron.  His strategic mind is working again.

I like the 'thinking' Ron better than the clueless twit JKR gave us.
