I love the last words of Snape in this chapter!  It put such a good picture of an irate Minerva in my head.

Somebody's going to have heart failure when they find Hermione in Snape's hospital bed. If it's Ron, bet his face will turn far redder than his hair.

Sweet Merlin, I LOVE IT!!  Cheers to Rosemerta for smoothing the way and hmmm, I wonder who will catch them?  More, soon!!!

LOL.  I think they're good for each other.

Very nice. now just do something about the engagement...

Ah, too bad she's engaged to Ron.  Severus is right in his musings.  Hopefully she'll go back and drag that stubborn git out of bed.

It's nice to see a more mature Hermione who won't let Severus' acerbic attitude get to her.

LOL, her reaction at the end was funny.  I've reacted that way in a few instances myself.  It's the "I'll show you" response.

I am really enjoying this. Seeing an email telling me it had updated earlier made me exceptionally happy. 

very good.  Oh please write more.  Thanks for putting the poem in.  How sad.  How awful for Oscar Wilde.  The poem is perfect for Snape.

Ron?  She's engaged to marry Ron?  And The Professor is right there in front of her? Nahhhhh... she'll come to her senses.Even though Severus is his usual bristly self, it's clear that he wants better for her than that she relegate her future to becoming whatever Ronald Weasley wants.  However, trying to help Severus Snape is rife with its own kinds of troubles.  Her attempts to provoke him into trying to help himself were roundly met with derision, but by wordlessly leaving him to stew in his own juices perhaps he will reconsider everything she said... and perhaps she will think on what he said about her decision to marry... Ron.Very nice!Beth

As much as I do like the character of Hermione both canon and fanon, there was just the one thing that I could never stand.  She is so desperate to fit into the wizarding world she would marry a person so far beneath her intelligence AND courage.  Let's hope that your Hermione will come to her senses very soon and drop the rock!!I love your Snape...you make it easy to feel what he is feeling.  Can't wait for the next update!! 

what an amazingly facinating story.  i guess it's what is called hysterical paralysis.  i look forward to how this will develope.  thanks and mucho smoochies

Hummmm.  I wonder if Severus realizes that he systematically drove away all of the other potential caregivers until the only one left was Hermione?Perhaps he didn't mean to, but that's what he did!  YAY!Beth

Hermione taking care of wounded Snape!  It doesn't get any better than this!Thank you for translating.Beth

Oh excellent!  Yes, keep writing.  I want to see the next chapter!

Poor Snape.  He's horrified now, but Hermione is a good sort.  I expect she'll take good care of him.  I love stories in which he survives the war and the good side has won.

I loved the premise of the story and your version of Hermione. I can't wait to read more. Bravo for a wonderful start.

it would be very logical for her to pursue medicine since she was raised by two dentists.  Great start, look forward to more!

Perhaps they will come to understand each other. If anyone can tame him, it's Hermione. She's smart enough to appreciate his desert-dry sense of humor, and she's self-assured enough to brush off his taunts.I look forward to more.

I really like the story, hope you update sooon.

This is an excellent start. I'm really enjoying Hermione as she is written, and I hope she can hold onto her confidence long enough to do him some good:) Your characters are well-written and I find them quite believable. Keep up the good work:)Brava!Fizzabella

Bahahaha, Snape is brilliant, and oh, my, the way he justifies his words to Poppy, I can just imagine it! Love it!

"Only when I breathe." LOL :)

Great first chapter I hope there is more to come.
