I am an avid Harry Potter fan. I am currently discovering the pleasure of writing my own fan fiction.
I am pragmatic person who yearns to be an optimist, but I know better. I think maybe I am related to Severus.
Northwest born I now live in the midwest.

I read this one straight through and loved every word. Well done...
This s such a good story, I was sucked in so fast that I ended up finding t on the sshg exchange to finish reading it. The relationship between Severus and Hermione is very poignant. It is not often that I'm nearly moved to tears by the written word. <3 Great work!

Very intriguing. I look forward to the remainder, and your Hermione's insistence on all the little details. It's so very true that funeral rites need to reflect the person and their family to be healing rituals too.

I could do with some baklava right now....but, I think I'll pass on the Moussaka and stick with Spanakopita and some stuffed grape leaves (I LOVE Greek food!)

What an amazing story. I'm glad to hear it is already finished and I hope it gets through the moderators quickly. I also hope Severus finds a happy ending.

It has been taking about a month per chapter
Response from Phyllidia (Reviewer)
Eww, that's quite a while. But at least you've written it already. Is it posted elsewhere? How many chapters is it if I may ask?
Response from irishredlass (Author of Letting Go)
