I almost laughed my dr pepper all over my computer at the "Oh, that's awful!"  upon the hair charm.  That was totally hilarious and realistic! Thank you again and again as I re-read this story!

Your fanfiction was really awesome. I liked the scenes with that demon, it reminds me to the trilogy of bartimäus. A really naughty and shrewd demon. :) Of course the price Hermione paid was horrible, but the way they managed their live together compensate all of it. It´s just one of the story someone can read and felt happy of thinking how sweet love can be. :D Thank you. Best wishes

Wow, this was simply fantastic. Hopelessly beautiful, though much more cruel and dark than most stories I choose to read. Thank you for saving the prompts to the end - knowing about them beforehand may have made me miss out on this story. I was thoroughly moved while reading. Thank you.

Lovely lovely - but did she ever get eyes, or not? (Part of me doesn't care at all, of course.) :)

That was really beautiful!!! Congratulations for a wonderfully written fanfic! Iloved every moment I passed reading it, although I have to admit I was scared by the parts of the presence she felt in the room. I even cried when they discovered she was blind and couldn't hear him... Thank you for the chance of read this. Kisses =] (Sorry for the bad English...)

Silly Dee (me) forgot to add a bookmark, and also forgot what the story was called, so after sitting up til 3am (remember me!?) I didn't get to read the rest of the story till now.  HOWEVER we are reunited once more!! This story is brilliant, and I love how they found a way to speak to each other.  Also: I love a man with long hair too.  It's such a heart-wrenching idea that she would give up her sight, but not only that not be able to hear him.  Just terrifying, eh? Anyway, huuuuuuuge thankyou because it was WONDERFUL. 

Okay wow!  You made me cry.  I don't often read H/C, Angst, Dark stories too much. But I couldn't stop reading this story.  It was beautiful.  Thank you for providing such a sweet and powerful story.  

This story is so touching it brought a lump to my throat more than once. I really did enjoy it. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us.

This is such a wonderful, well-written story.  Somehow I missed when the story was updated with the last two chapters, but luckily I saved you as a favorite author.  So when I checked on the story that way I was happily surprised.  It was refreshing to have the story focus on Severus and Hermione and their relationship with the other characters more in the background.  Also, I liked how Hermione grew closer with Lavender and Cho.  This is realistic to what can happen in real life when those we are closer to take us for granted or push us away for whatever reason.  Thank you.

This is an incredible story! Thank you so much for writing it and working so very hard on it. When it was over I just sat back with my mouth open in wonder at the ride I just took! So many brilliant little details and surprises. I was so filled with elation at the end with your solutions, I really could not see a way around any of that! THANKS!

Wow!!I mean, WOW!You made me laugh, you made me cry (a lot.. sniff..), you made me smile, despair, hope and spend the hole night in front of my computer. Which means I'm rather dead on my feet (or in my seat? ) right now, but that was so worth it! Thank you for a wonderful read!

Though a happy end always makes me smile and sleep well, it is refreshing to read a story where the sun is not always shining. It is a happy enough ending for my taste. Let's call it a cloud shrouding the sun. Anyway, I loved your story. Hermione's dry wit actually made me inhale my tea. I read through half the night. Afterwards I immediatelly looked up what other stories you've written. The princess of Gryffindor was on my reading list. Now I've moved it to the top position.

I generally don't review, probably because I usually read only finished ones (and yeah, I'm lazy, too), but this story is simply too good. Your portrayal of the characters is quite unique - Snape seems slightly more open, softer around the edges, human, flawed. His gratitude, the need to let someone in - as they say, "dying changes everything" - and you' ve captured it extremaly well. (the "eyehugs" thing had me smiling stupidly for quite some time).Yet, in his own way he remains strangely noble, elegant and dangerous. I liked your Hermione - somewhat lost, longing to belong somewhere, to be useful, wanted, needed - and yet still very intellligent, determined, headstrong, capable of great sacrifice. The way mutual respect, gratitude and compatibility morphed into friendship and then love was shown believably. The storyline was very clever, and quite unpredictable - apart from Ron-Hermione breakup and "eye for eye" I was unable to guess anything at all. You mixed angst, humour, horror and romance  very skilfully - bits of situation humour or witty remark during the darkest moments were real treat (my personal favourite is "wet deamon" comment). All in all, it was a woderfull story. I hope you post more stories sometime;)PS. I really think you should consider writing some orginal fiction. PS2. Sorry if my English is random mix of American and British English with strange phrasing all over - I'm still learning, and it shows.

I'm awed. Your story is absolutely fantastic!

Fuck Ron! She'll get over him then she can send him to Lavender. There's no need to hurry home now, though. I'd be sleeping next to Snape's bed on the floor if it was me. Poor dear Snape. I hope the pain medication starts working for him. Hermione needs this and he does too. I don't know what Ron needs. I think maybe a prescription for Medical Marijuana. He needs to chill for a while and think about things in slow motion. He's a jerk, but he is also a boy. Just a little boy, so I'll give him a little slack. Just a little. 

How can she even leave? I suppose he wouldn't want her to camp in his room but maybe she should anyway. Who else knows he's alive? Is it a secret? I hope others don't find out. Like the Skeeter bitch. I bet Harry will want to see him. She needs to keep everyone else away from him right now. I hope she doesn't tell the boys. I don't want them to visit him while he is like this. Wow, this is sad. But I'm really glad he's alive. Hermione will get him fixed up. 

Was this the end?  This has been a wonderful story.  I enjoyed it evry much and eagarly waited for each chapter.It was quite a different sort of idea a brilliant one.  Good work!!

What an amazing journey this story has been to read. Its amazing how you used all of those prompts to create this masterpiece. Thank you for a updating regularly and for a great story.

As if Voldemort could rule in Hell, he doesn't have the backbone for it. I loved the story! I'm rather sad now that it's over, but I believe you said something about having a few other stories on the backburner? If so, I can't wait to read them. And all's well that ends well, Severus and Hermione get their happy ending (I'm really glad the prompt provider doesn't have a soft spot for sad endings). Thank you so much for sharing your imagination with us!

very good!  They are finding lots of ways to cope with the situation.  I couldn't imagine how that would be possible but of course so many things are with magic!

And you got the bonus points too! Evil author... Thanks so much for writing and sharing this; I got such a kick out of this story! You rock!

I've run the full range of emotions during this chapter and had to read it in sections.  It broke my heart that she could hear that jerk of a wizard Ron but not Severus.  Foul!  That stupid demon, that was beyond a reasonable agreeement.  ~snickers at self~Aurette you've written a remarkable story from all the prompts you were given.  Thanks to DRT for her prompts!  You're a genius in pulling them together and writing such a suspenseful story.  This one is going into my SSHG Hall of Fame, loved it!  This is one of those stories that you read again and again.  Thank you both.

I was stunned when I realized Hermione couldn't hear Severus.  When the Balion Bardo said that they would enforce the price she had agreed to in order to save Severus I thought they meant to restore her hearing... what they REALLY meant was they would let her hear the voices of everyone EXCEPT Severus.  Because they had allowed the Demon to exact a greater price than the one he had agreed to, I was delighted to find out that ultimately Severus decided to sell his Dark Arts books.  I hope the Balion Bardo found this absence of "balance" was annoying enough that they would have regretted their decision for a short while at least.

When all was said and done, Severus and Hermione (with a little help from their friends) found ways for her to get around these limitation– to see and hear everything to do with Severus.  I loved the use of Muggle technology from the "brand-new bit of archaic technology" called a cassette player/recorder to cell phones so they could talk.  Severus' lecture clearly showed the depth of his love for and devotion to Hermione, and I got all teary-eyed as I read it.  The most beautiful of the sentiments he professed was 'Hermione, you said once that you needed to belong, needed to be wanted. I would very much like it if you felt you belonged with me, because I want you very much…'  *sigh*

Thank you for having Harry, Ginny, and Ron visit her in St Mungo's so they could hear and understand that the place she wanted to be was with Severus.  Ron's behavior wasn't as bad as it might have been, but I'm still glad Severus pinned him to the wall.  Poor Ron.  I hope one day he will find someone he can be happy with.  Harry and Ginny took Hermione's decision with more grace, and in the end we saw that they were most interested in her happiness.

This is such a lovely story.  The trials and tribulations Severus and Hermione were willing to face to be together were daunting and frightening, but they way they reacted to each one of them was so well written.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent for story telling with us.  By the comments that readers have left for each of the chapters, I think it's safe to say you are a prodigious talent.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A Thousand Points to your House!

PS- Hermione recording Severus' vocalizations during love-making was inspired!

I read the entire story from start  to finish and all I can say is wow.  This is probably one of the best tales I have read, Severus and Hermione's relationship is wonderfully fleshed out, and their progression from acquaintances, friends, to live partners is breathtaking.  I'm partial to dark and agnsty with a happy ending and this delivered that and then some.Thank you for a gripping and fantastic story.  

*holds hands palms up* "Princess of Gryffindor in this hand; "Yea, Though I Walk" in the other. *makes weighing motions* PoG is a little heavier due to being a longer length, but YTIW is a little better in execution. All in all, they're both keepers. ^_^
