Waking Up

Hmm... I actually do think Hermione would make a fine Slytherin too, given the right circumstances. So, for Grace to be sorted into Slytherin (coupled with the fact that she is also Severus`s child afterall) is not a surprise. I had thought at first that she might be sorted into Hufflepuff (which actually would describe both Hermione and Severus in some aspects of their particular personalities). :)Thank you for a wonderful ending to a lovely series!

Every time I'm so sad for their loss it brongs tears to my eyes.

How sad and sweet.

This is wonderful.

a beautiful elegy.  thanks and smoochies

So he made it through the first year.  Good one down and nappies will be over soon!

Oh, he was so numb he lost track of time, and life. Poor guy. Poor Grace, handling this without her father.

Deep loss once agian. I'm gald Minerva was there to get him to pull himself together.

  *sniff* Sad, but who is the hand...

I don't know how you can write like 100 words and have me weeping.  Give yourself a pat on the back for that one.  :)

Brought tears to my eyes. It's so hard to see him strugling with the pain and at the same time trying to cope with it for his daughter's sake.

Now he is ready to begin a new life with his daughter. And he won't ever be alone if that is any consolation.

He keeps kicking himself when he's down.  I hope he can pull himself out of this depressive hole soon.

I really, really wish for him overcome his sadness and deal with the loss. I'm sure that little girl will be the exact replica of her mother. And as painful as that might be, he could find comfort in watching her and raising her in her mother's spirit. Merlin help that man when she'll become a teen.

Time to don the daddy hat!

Awwww.

*sniff* Very well done. I find this particularly hard to read as I lost a dear friend this year whose husband now is in the same place as is Severus.

Author's Response: Awww I am so sorry if you are finding it troubling.  I truly apprecciate the review.  There is more to come. {{hugs}} Irish

I'm glad you decided to write more. even if my heart's aching while reading.

*Sniff*  How hard it will be at first, to love the baby.  She's such a reminder to all that he's lost.  And that choice of tomb... eerily depressing.  Once again, lovely.

Tissues please - you're making me weep.  Elegant use of a few words to paint a lovely picture.  

That's terrible. I can't imagine how he must feel. After allowing himself to love again, he must lose her so soon. Of course there's the baby but won't he resent her for taking his life's love away? I should hope that Hermione's last wish will help.

Oh, the angst!  Droxy's a bad influence like that! :)

 Oh how sad. Of course he will. And savagely killl the one who hexed his Hermione.

Well done!

Yep, that was angsty all right.  And death-filled.  Kudos on packing lots of emotion in only a few words.
