I so look forward the girls night. And I'm glad Heemione stops things with Ron early enough. I'd love it if it were Sev who took care of that for her.

I can't wait for him to wake up and realize who has been brewing his potions. Maybe she'll earn a nice comment this time.

I've been keeping an on this for a while now and I'm glad I've the time. That seems very promising.

That cure seem very dangerous. I hope she'll come out of it with everything: her magic and an engagement ring. *wink*

looking forward to more chapters.

When Severus patted the bed beside him and sat and read with Hermione, I thought, "My goodness, he's accepting this calmly."    Perhaps Narcissa is very persuasive.     Or maybe it's those complimenting auras.One must feel for Ron, and even for Hermione, giving up her first romance, her first idea of romance.  Good job. 

This is a very good tale.  I love how much you have thought things out.  I like people to add something imaginative and magical to the Wizarding world.  You are doing a wonderful job!I really have to agree with you that Hermone and Ron strike me as the WRONG couple.  They would do much better (IMO) staying freinds than becoming sweethearts.  I don't see Ron (as many Fan fiction writers do) as insisting that Hermione stay home and raise a ton o' kiddies.  But still, they do not seem well suited for life-long companions.  I think Harry would make a much better life partner for Hermione.  He seems closer to her spiritually and temperamentally. Sorry to be rambling.  Anyway, this is a delightful fic.  five stars.

I am glad Hermione ended it with Ron. He is just too thoughtless and reckless. I knew it had something to do with that wand. The cure sounds worse than the curse. Trust that evil, twisted woman to come up with something like that.

So somthing is draining Hermione's magic? Could there possibly be a connection to the evil things Bella's wand did to this new predicament?

Interesting that the Malfoys are so concerned about Hermione's health. Is it just because she has had a long, emotional day that he aura is so thin, or has she put a part of herself into the potion she brewed for Snape?

Interesting that Narcissa has a knack for auras. I hope she sees something in Ron and Hermione's together that will show them they are not ment to be together "that way".

I am glad Hermione has found some sort of companion in Narcissa. Both women need to heal in different ways, ways that the males in their lives would never understand. Narcissa seems to have had an enlightenment when it comes to Hermione. I hope it lasts.

I love your Malfoys. The way they are so determined to stay with Severus and see him through this bring a new kind of humanity to them. I hope Hermione is ready for lots of hard work! I wonder how appreciative Severus will be when he realises the know-it-all is the one who brewed the potion to save him?

I am so glad Severus managed to ensure someone would go back for him. At least he has the chance at survival.

Glad you put them together. They flowed nicely.
What an interesting connection they have. Loved her little slip about him loving her. That would be a natural concern.

Then there's Ron... need I say more?

Very nice chapter.

Their growing relationship is so lovely.  Yay, for Hermione, breaking up with Ron.  He took it very well. LOLBut I'm scared about the dark spell draining her magic.  The cure doesn't sound much better than the disease.  Ouch, WritterMerrin, this is getting angsty!

I'm loving this!  What a nice chapter.  I'm glad things didn't get really ugly between Ron and Hermione.  It is rare to see a story where Hermione and  the Malfoys actually get along rather then them barely tolerating each other just to placate Severus.  A nice change.  Will be eagerly awaiting the next chapter!

I'm glad the breakup was relatively painless.

Good chapter, the break up was touching.  I'm glad Hermione is realizing that Ron isn't in her best interests.  She needs more than he can offer.

I like your Narcissa.  I think it is quite a stretch that she would be so friendly with Hermione so soon but it is actually done well enough that I am on board with it.  Girls night was a fun way for them to begin to bond and for Narcissa to give some inside info on Severus.  I like the dream and hope  that it is really them conversing even though he says they won't remember much of it.

Another intriguing chapter. I'm glad that he is not witholding his affection. I'm also very glad that she has put her feelings for Ron in their proper perspective.So the cure for this curse could kill her... Why am I not surprised. Leave it to Bella to come up with such a horrid and cruel spell.

omgosh!  Just when Hermione and Severus have begun to form an attachment, fate steps in and gives them the whammy.  It's such a tender moment when she ponders whether or not they should even try to do the separation if it would mean living without him in her world.  *sob*  His response to her was just lovely.  Fantastic update. :D

Great update, I loved that the Hermione/Ron is now over officially, and even more do I love that Hermione has stated her claim on Severus and made her intentions clear:-))

This is wonderful. And I loved the longer chapter.
