Ahh - I hated see it end that way - she did a lot for him. I hope you do write more. It is so sad the situation that both of them are in.

Poor Severus - what he has to endure - I liked the scene in the Headmaster's office more than the book. Great job.

Great chapter - I can see that even though Dumbledore left the evidence that he had not counted on so many of them dying and no one taking up the cause. Cannot wait to learn of the memories - great story.

Well - she has some faith in him but not total since she is a little affraid of him. Great idea with the key and the safe - onto Hogwarts.

Great first chapter - so detailed that I could see the whole scene playing out before my eyes - great writing.

Please update on this...this is so good

Intriguing.

Thank you for the update. I look forward to more soon :)

I always love to see Severus' humanity emerging in a very canon way.  This was wonderful.

You write mysteries incredibly well.  Now, I am left wondering if this is a work in progress (which will be updated quickly) or a finished story (which, again, will be updated quickly).  I must admit that I am left breathless.

I think one of the reasons this story is drawing me in is that you have captured Hermione's emotions so well.  Your Hermione's private thoughts echo that which I find myself thinking and feeling on many occasions.  I found myself subconscioiusly clicking on that 'next' button and then clicking back, remembering that I wanted to review. 

You portray the darkness of Azkaban so completely; I was enthralled by the descriptions.  I apologize for not reading this sooner.  I am sitting here with my coffee with my eyes glued to the screen.  (And I think I will procrastinate working a little bit longer and go on to the next chapter.)

Now I really want to know what her new Patronus is! I love the feel of this story.

I'm glad to see you posted here :)
As I've already told you, this chapter is really really interesting. I wonder why Snape is so harsh. Can't wait to read the next chapter!

Excellent start. I am intrigued and can't wait to see what's coming.

so she's angry, it surely means more interactions between them, just for our greatest delight of course

Wow.... My trust lies in the Ministry of Magic. Well, he had to say it, although I certainly don't have MUCH trust in them!  I'm glad he's out and glad that Minerva did the right thing in the end.  I do wonder how you're going to move this into the "romance" stage, when they are both reluctant to be in each other's company.  And how's he going to get money to live on??  Thanks for the new chapter!!

you certainly know how to maintain the suspense...

great work. now i can't wait to see what's in the pensieve! hehe

I can't wait to see what's in the box!

This is really good.  So interesting, in fact, that I've put off doing my home work to read it.  Don't worry, I'm going to do it now.  I merely want to compliment you, and beg for another chapter to be posted as soon as you can.  Live long and prosper, Titania
