yea, I know he was fairly dead in DH but really, you would have thought that between the three of them, ONE of them could have checked him or something! Jeesh. Well at least this isnt one of those stories where she berates herself and tries to atone for leaving poor SS to die. Really! Good for you, doing something outside the box!

*Snicker* I neer have read any Hermione Big Bang's because I didnt realise they were a 30th birthday bash challenge..My mind was (and usually still is) in the gutter! I really adore this story, it is about one-sided admiration and respect turning into mutual compassion, care and,eventually, devotion. This is truly beautiful and heart-warming from start to finish. A remarkable fic for everyone who loves and/or ships SS/HG. Bravissimo!

Im gussing with the finger-shaped bruises in the thigh area...they sexually defiled him, didn't they? How awful. Thanks for not making us witness that.

Good enough, she was close enough to the absolute truth anyway-- closer than anyone else alive considering she knows about the Horcruxes and Snapes vow. I also like the fact that this wasnt a barely-not-azkaban-bait hermione throwing herself at an extremely charming romantic Severus. That is absurd. You keep it real. Well, as real as it can be anyway.

She seems to have nearly figured out all the secrets entangled within the Unbreakable Vow. I wonder if she will figure out immediately, or beforehand, that he will kill Albus. This is a beautiful story and probably closer to actuality than what most write, Not that I don't enjoy nearly everyone's stories immensely! It's just that everyone has their own distinct 'writing fingerprint'. Amazing direction on this one!

I really enjoy the realism this is written with. It has been a long time since I had the pleasure of reading one of your fics. I dont read WIPs--until they are no longer such. I like this direction, I hope she is going to be "in on" the big Avada dumbledore secret, no one ever does that. hmm.. guess I'll be finding out soon enough. Great story! Kudos to you, Sunny33!

Great chapter.Merry Christmas

*sighs and cries... that was Beautiful (kindly notice the capital "B"!)  I am sorry, in a way, to see it end.  It was such a good story, that anticipating the next chapter was something to look foward too.  However, now, I don't have to stop and wonder.  Have a very merry Christmas.  I look forward to our next journey.  Sara

Aw, nicely ended!  Too funny on them making their own plans before their daughter's out of the house.

at last, indeed!  this was a lovely and enthralling story.  thanks for sharing your time, talent and vision.  christmas and holiday smoochies

A wonderful story with a story-book ending. I really enjoyed this tale, sunny. And I liked the twist that Hermione was telling it to their daughter on her wedding day. It made it more personal.Great job.

Lovely.

Brilliant, couldn't have wished for a better ending!!

I loved this story amazing job Sunny, it was a wonderful Christmas gift to escape the drudgery of getting the house ready for tons of company in a couple days.

Since the beginning I've wondered if it was Hermione telling her story, or mayb. Some great grand daughter or something. The only question left is who is marrying this girl: Scorpius or James *snicker*
