This is very interesting. Her obsession with times and dates and numbers, I can see it as a way for her to remain sane in the beginning, but it's only turned into her being more insane.

I'm enjoying this story so much!  I tried to wait til there were so many chapters i couldn't read it it all in one go, but it was too good to put down so now I just devour and wait, devour and wait.Delicious

This is such a somber beginning with Hermione being in a cell recounting her memories of better days.  The memory of Snape's aftershave just a kiss away... and where is our Severus?  Eh?   Where is our Severus?Beth

You really evoke their pain and distress, yet manage to do so in such a tender and poignant way. I look forward to what happens when they move location.

It feels so utterly bleak, yet i can't help feeling hope for them. Beautifully written.

I am completely captivated by this - you have given them such an original voice. I don't know where you are planning to take it, but I'm going to enjoy finding out.

I'm finding this haunting/awesome/beautiful. I'm looking forward to the rest.

this is a strange story, have me captivated though. Looking forward to where you will take us.

you have captured my attention - looking forward to more!!

Wow -- I am looking forward to the healing of these very broken people.  Excellent start!

Oh, yay, I am so so happy to see this one here! ~squees~

Great start!

Tough conditions. Who is left to vouch for her?

Sounds hopeless, but where there's independent thought, there's hope. :)

Wow. The epilogue was amazing. The whole story was... Really truly amazing

Thank you, thank you for this amazing, soulful and more often than not, heartbreaking story...!!!I´m sorry, I didn`t review from chapter one on, I have to confess, I often forget about the praise for all the wonderful authors out there...call me lazy if you wish...I read your entry before on lifejournal, cause I hate reading WIP`s, but when you posted it here, I reread. I rarely read a story that enthralling as yours. Fantastic writing and 5 stars for you! (...even if I had to cry sometimes...;-) )

Amazing. A brilliant, fitting conclusion- and your invention of the naga actually works, better than any other new magical being I've read in fanfiction. Well done!

This was a great read, sorry to se it finished - nah not really. Your comments and telling of their later lives was very enlightning and wonderful to se they had good lives after all those awful years. I liked the way you explained their very different ways of coping with the long imprisonment, interesting tactics and beliveable I think. Looking forward to more works from your hand.

This was an incredible, incredible story! The story itself was tragic and angsty and psychologically violent in some regards, but through it all, gave the impression of some sort of underlying mission that you really didn't understand until you read all the prologues.  I think the postscript is just as important to the story AS the story itself.  The way you told it - in diary form, really didn't lend itself to too much backstory or everyday detailing.  That's not a bad thing - it WORKED. And worked beautifully just the way it was. But for one to really understand what happened to send them to prison, where all these people were, what was going on in Wizarding society at the time beyond the snapshots, you really needed to write the end notes the way you did.Amazing. And I'm really amazed that I picked up on the two points that I did without researching anything! The fact that Armita Agan was Nagini - well, actually WHAT she was, took me by suprise.  I didn't think to actually research Naga.  I just went back in and theorized from your clues that she wasn't "normal".  The slithering, the hissing, the NAG part (thank God I remembered Riki Tiki Tavi as good as I did!), it all fit.  And Lucius came to Severus' side to vouch for him after all.  With his prior attitudes, I really didn't see that one coming. Lucius is always portrayed as power-hungry and not willing to dirty his hands with plebian chores, so I really didn't expect him to have anything to do with any common-prisoners such as Hermione and Severus. Even though at one point in Canon history, Severus and Malfoy are seen as friends, but that doesn't always equate as two people being close or staying close through life. It's good to see he could put aside his biases for a while and do something good for his friend.  And to find out that they stayed in a polyamorous relationship with Draco for the rest of their lives?  Unbelievable. Well, I know the only reason I find it unbelievable is because of Canon and for the simple fact that in our society, you don't hear of such things happening (TLC channel notwithstanding), though they probably do happen more than we imagine.  In the context of the story though, it's entirely plausible. Draco needed somebody, they were there. They knew him and he felt the safest. Why need to look anywhere else?  They were family.  All a family.  Again, thank you so much for this amazing epic! Five star review for you!!!

Fantastic!  A friend had recommended this story to me and Im so glad this person did.
