omg.  HOrrible HORRIBLE death eaters!  Poor Severus and Hermione.  I'm so sad for them both.  Excellent story.

A remedy?!  But things are going so well!  Of course if the remedy is to stay as close to each other as much as possible then that should be fine. 

I'm having so much fun reading that I hate to stop to review!

LOL.  Oh but they're so right for each other despite the fact that they will come to this conclusion only after a great deal of kicking, screaming, hemming and hawwing.  Silly silly people.  This is a fun story!

Oooh, I can't wait to see what happens next!

Well, that was a very productive conversation.  LOL.This is fun!

LOL.  Ooohh, dear.

Wow. I'm finding this story so beautiful. I can't wait to see where you go with it! Thank you so much.

I think this was a a much needed occurance in terms of their relationship.  It's unfortunate that Hermione had to lose her parents, but she will need Seveurs more than ever now.  And he seemed to know just what she needed there at the cliff and when they arrived home.  There is still hope for them.

I think he might be getting a clue... :)

So sad, and yet such beautiful sentiments at the end from Severus.  He truly knows what she is thinking.  Lovely chapter.

Oh poor Severus isn't coping with this at all well, but the news that Minerva will bring is going to be truly horrible I feel

This is a wonderful story!  The Lifebond is an intriguing idea and I love how you are developing Severus' and Hermione's relationship.  The insights into Severus' background, and how he developed his Occlumency skills fit very well.  But, oh - Hermione's parents attacked by Death Eaters?? I am biting my nails in suspense!

Oh my, I am guessing, but so hoping that I am wrong, that the four Death Eaters went for Hermione's parents? Cowards as Death Eaters are, Voldiebutt included, it will be logical to think so. They attack those who are weaker, always making sure that they outnumber the ones they attack and think they are grand and brave when killing children.I am guessing that this is one of the first times Severus have ever been told that he is forgiven for anything? I will be biting nails while waiting for the next update!

I don't know how I missed this story, but I've just spent the past hour catching up. Talk about intense.And now there's Madam Pomfrey's news about her parents... Rowle and his sick band of compatriots got to them, didn't they? *Shudders*At any rate, I'm saving this story to my favorites and waiting to see what happens next.

Whew,  that was intense.  More? :)

What a gut wrenching chapter! And now, I have no doubt that the DEs at the beginning of the chapter have killed or kidnapped Hermione's parents. Yet more heartbreak for our favorite pair.I hope you update soon!

Eternally fused and the best he could come up with was an apprenticeship? boy, is he in for a  surprise. Or at least I hope he is. That was great!

Well, WE all know it's going to help them!  LOL

“You know Shakespeare?”  What a hoot!  Six months!  Yes!I'm glad that Severus is going to help Hermione, and I suspect that staying with him will help her to learn to sleep again.  I wonder if along the way he might just find that his symptoms don't improve as well.Perhaps they'll even visit Gus O’Connor’s pub for Guinness and some good Irish music.  Well done!Beth

Finally.  Now they can sort things out. :)

I am really enjoying this story very much. Keep up the great work! 

Soooo, THAT'S what happened.  Something tells me that our Severus and Hermione won't get off so easily from this magical mingling of their blood.  Will their ponderings make cowards of them all?I'm looking forward to your next chapter.Beth

This is a really interesting premise. I look forward to the next chapter.

I wonder how they will get along without eachother?  Just how strong is the Lifebond, and what about this dramatic change in their magic, now that their blood has co-mingled?  I hope that more than just their blood has a chance to co-mingle.You've done well in keeping the characters in character.  Severus is as snarky as Firewhisky is fiery.
