So he has survived but clearly not out of the woods yet. ((worries))

So glad that one of them was brave enough to say something.  It would have been tragic had they just gone their separate ways.  Think of what they'd have missed.

What a maroon.

Fascinating development! Snape got a pardon,  the potion is working, and something else is developing as well... ;o) And of course, he isn't ready to accept it.

Ooooh! Such language! And I think he's trying too hard to drive her away. Go get him, Hermione! ^_^

OOOOH! Snape can be such a Pain in the Arse! How ungrateful.

I think that it's lovely that he's developed feelings for her, but his insecurity with those feelings are going to drive her away if he's not careful.  And it seems like Hermione doesn't want to let him go, no matter how hard he pushes her away.

This is a very well-written story, and I am truly enjoying your portrayals of both Hermione and Severus. Looking forward to more updates to this story.Thank you very much.

I think you've painted a great picture here.  Severus getting the same treatment that Sirius did is a very apt comparison.  Also, I don't think the Ministry would be functioning well at all right now.

Now that's the Snape we remember! The one who wants people to use their brains as well as figure out how he is using his.  Hermione just had to light a fire under his arse to get him fighting again! LOL!

Really like the start of this story. Looking forward to more.

This is great - and I love the title

Poor Severus... I like your more matured Ron a lot, which is a nice change as he is far from being a liked character.Thank you very much.

Poor Severus, fighting both his physical ailments and, from the sound of things, a pretty severe bout of depression as well. Understandable, considering both what he's already been through and the uncertainty about what lies ahead.  As for the dead/surviving Death Eaters, given Kingsley's behavior, I'm sure it's a very, very good thing that Hermione and the others found him before anyone else did. Even if Severus doesn't think so right now. 

oh no.  That didn't go well.  Poor  things, all of them.  I can't wait to see what happens next.

A right summation of his predicament, isn't it? I'm sure Hermione will do what she can to bring back his fire. ^_^

oh dear.  Poor Severus.  So glad he's alive!

Very interesting and well written first chapter, I am very much looking forward to read more.

Intriguing beginning, looking forward to more. Thank you.

Nice start. Just the right amount of tension and ambivalence, in my opinion. Of course, the cliffie probably helped with that. Was there a reason you killed Lucius when he survived in DH? Am waiting for the next chapter. *taps foot and looks at watch*

ooh, this is going to be a very good story! 

lovely lemons!

dammit!!! Booo! cliffies suck!! post up post i want more! Great great read!

Well of all the innopportune times to black out.  Poor guy.  But they're moving along and hopefully will figure out a permanent cure. 

I am really enjoying this story.  Severus and Hermione's research regarding Nagini and the antivenom kept pulling me in, trying to figure out a solution for them.  I like the realistic way their relationship has been developing up until this point and am anxiously awaiting the next chapter!
