This just keeps getting better.  :)

Amazing story, I'm hooked and eagerly look forward to your story updates.  Hermione and Severus need each other on many different levels.  I can't wait to see how this plays out. 

Oh, Severus. What a sweetheart. Or something like that. Any man who says, "Take care of yourself" is adorable. No matter how snarky he might be. Lovely chapter. Keep up the goodness. I can't wait for more. I'm on pins and needles until the next chapter.

I'm glad he has a plan.  I guess I will just have to trust him as well.  I have read this all in one sitting, and in case you haven't noticed, I am out of chapters.  If you could please fix that promptly, I would appreciate it :)

Wow, what a huge thing he has done for her, making that vow. but truly he is leading a shell of an existance, so if he met his death in trying to save her, would that really be the worst?  They have bonded very quickly, but I suspect if you are the last two of your kind, in any situation, that is a strong catalyst to bring you together.I enjoyed the moment where there was a little lighthearted banter.  In the midst of such horrible insanity, they are still able to glimpse moments of happy, even if it is a dulled version of what it used to be.The fact that she feels weird and confused about going to bed with a man without having sex, really encompasses just how warped her life has become.  And in the end, where they end up doing the activity that he was supposed to have bought her a night of freedom from, it again made me hopeful.  I really hope for a happy ending in all of this, but I'm not sure I can yet define what that means.  I guess time will tell.

Excellent closure on their promises to each other. I hope they are both successful! Cheers!

really interesting take on post-Voldmort.  i'm looking forward to where you take this - thanks for all your time and effort

I am a little late starting this fic.  Honestly, if a fic is too dark or depressing, like post war Voldy victorious, I'm not always on board with that.  But I decided to give this a go, and am really enjoying it.  I haven't reviewed yet, but this chapter was really moving, so I thought I'd take a break to unleash my thoughts.I really liked the entire interaction between Snape and Hermione.  Their lives are so desperately sad (although we don't know much about what Snape has been up to).  What a scary experience on both parts, and while neither wanted to be in the position they were in, they were at least able to be miserable together.The last interaction between them, when he wanted to give her something, was really my undoing.  Such raw emotion.  Her, "I keep nothing" really struck me as so sad.  But at the same time, those last minutes between them made me feel hopeful.  It seems an out of place feeling, but is there nevertheless.If you don't know by now, rambling usually means I really like your story.  Off to the next chapter...

Very nice update. I hope the next one is coming soon.

It sounds like Hermione and Severus have given each other something to live for in a world which has lost all light. Something beautiful is growing in the Darkness, but is it enough?I'm really quite fascinated with this story. I look forward to seeing how Severus manages to save Hermione, and himself in the process. :)

Oh,I loved this chapter!I can't wait till Severus can get her out of that place.Thay need each other because that is the only why thay can be whole.

Neville's group reminded me of Robin Hood and his outlaws of Sherwood

Preamble: I grew quite critic of DH in recent years. I believe that Dumbledore should have started to look after the Horcruxes earlier, and that, if Snape's role as a spy was worth a Knut, he should be used to get information from Voldemort about the Horcruxes. I don't agree with canon at all about Snape ignoring everything about the Horcruxes.So, I'm glad to have him on the chase here, even if he looks a bit too heroic in his achievements ;)

Malfoy a spy! And killed! Draco and Narcissa gone too! Gosh, that's interesting.

“It’s not you, Peaches, honey. He just isn’t into redheads.”Auch. Cruel remark! ;)

It's nice seeing her resolve to stay safe (as she can be) and keep herself healthy.  The trust between them is equally endearing.Looking forward to the next chapter!

I love it.  I can't wait to read the next chapter!

I have a question about this story. Are her parents alive and well living in Australia with no memory of their daughter? or are they amongst her incredible losses?Still loving this story!

That mutual trust is going to take them a long way. :)

He is a quick learner! :)

"I am profoundly grateful for your gesture, but I find that I want to.” I looked into his eyes to stress what I was trying to say. “I have never wanted to before."  That says it all really. :)

Oh no, not another vow.  What has he got himself into this time?

He didn't look for her before because he thought she was dead.  Makes sense. :)

Great chapter, just the right insight into how she is thinking. :)

Very moving.  I wonder what will happen next? :)
