Wonderful, lovely romance story and a tricky way to successfully reduce the age difference. Thank you so much!

This was an amazing story! Such a breath of fresh air! I hope you are enjoying your time as a new mommy :)

In those moments I would swear that should a second chance come, I would embrace it completely. And here you are…”  ~sniffle~
To say I was surprised with the result would truly be an understatement.   - hee hee, can't wait...

I love this premise, Sev thinking he'd be safe from hell forever, because no one could love him. sniffle.

“Hermione, all those portraits feign sleep all the time. Why would I be any different?”  - ROFL

The man was brilliant. Scary, but brilliant. - nice parallel

So Harry really did just want to see her, wasn't in trouble?

aha, the plot thickens. ~wants to cuddle Sev too~

“Severus? What are you up to? You’ve not been awake for an entire day and you’re already plotting?”  hee hee :)

“Severus? What are you up to? You’ve not been awake for an entire day and you’re already plotting?”hee hee
I was wondering about the stray Lestrange. Nice to have that wrapped up, and a very satisfying ending.  We know how loyal Sev is, heart is going pittapat.

Lovely!

those diary entries, just heartbreaking. really well done.

I let the door hit the wall with the familiar, comforting slam that it used to have in my past. - aww, warm fuzzies. Giggling hysterically over the secret drawer password.

I really enjoyed reading this story - so sweet.  Thank you for sharing it!

awwww thanks honey.  This was beautiful once again.  Thanks for being made of awesome yourself!

Lovely ending!  Thank you for writing this.

Good finish, Brena.  Congrats on the arrival of Bean. :)

Again I congratulate you... May your son grow and thrive in the love that you have for him. I love that newborn smell. So sweet. My youngest is three.  Enjoy him, they really do grow up so quickly.

B~Congrats on your move.  I hope it wasn't too strenuous.  Also, keep your little bundle safe. *giggle*

The story is lovely.  Severus & Hermione are my all time favorite pairing.  You've written them well, and I am enjoying the story immensely. I was so pleased to see the update.
Thank you again, and take of you...and your little love~Elou

I really enjoyed this story. I thought your pacing of it was just right. I also hope this isn't your last story. Congratulations on your son.

A Boxing Day baby! How wonderful. And to finish this when you're still trying to work out how to be a mum? That's dedication. Good on you. It's a good story and a bang up ending. Can't wait to see more from you. ^_^

Yay!! Good story, albeit a short one, but hey, you have to start somewhere! You're very talented so I'm looking forward to a lot more work from you!
