Can't wait to read more!

It seems like years and years ago that I first read Caramel, but I don't think I had ever started reading the sequel, whether it was still unpublished or whether I was being WIP averse, I don't know, but I'm here now and I'm hooked, even though I know nothing of the other half of the crossover. Anyway, I have it bookmarked now, and I look forward to more, whenever the muse might oblige. It's been a wonderful way to fill my time this Christmas Day morning while hubby has been busy in the kitchen. Thank you. 

I'm hooked. Absolutely hooked. But you can't just leave it there! What happens next? Is Mr Granger alright? And what about Severus? We all need more if this awesome tale you're
weaving!

Good stuff. More please!

I'm loving this so far.  Thank you for gifting us with your writing. 

Yay for a sequel! :)

super story, glad you are updating again

It sounds like Mr. Granger had a relapse of some sort. I hope it's nothing damaging. It also sounds as though Mr. and Mrs. Granger are wiser than Hermione when it comes to picking a mate for her. I hope she eventually listens. And it's good to see that the families are all close.

So extremely happy to see you back. This new chapter certainly doesn't disappoint. Will be happy to await new updates.

So thrilled to see an update! You have me pulled right back into the story. I like your realistic approach to the time needed for the Grangers to reassimilate - physically and mentally. I hope Mr. Granger's relapse isn't too bad. Poor Severus! Hermione is certainly dealing with numerous issues she can't understand the root of. I'll be looking forward to your next update, as real life allows. Cheers!

Great to have you and the story back! It`s always good too, to have Hermione`s perspective on things. I certainly agree with the Drs Granger about Ron. Poor Snape, though.
I hope Dr Granger is not going to be in further decline after showing so much promise of a full recovery.
Thank you very much for continuing this story. As always, looking forward anxiously for more! Many thanks, again.

Oh my. I wasn't expecting that ending! As I mentioned in a review on Caramel, I reread that story so I could better place this one. VERY worth the time. :) And every time she tries to say that she and Ron "fit" makes me cringe all the more. *sigh* Excellent update.

Ack!! Poor Hermione and Mr. Granger! ... Although I'd love to get my hands on Snape's medical file...

Oh, that was WELL DONE. I love how she treated him respectfully, even when she didn't know the whole story. Snape's death scene (in canon) made me cryyyyyyy! I like your version so very much more!

Ooooh -- so they're using the Vanishing Cabinet as a kind of Underground Railroad? Brilliant. I feel so badly for Severus, but he's a bit better now... now that the Headmasters/mistresses know the truth behind Dumbledore's death. Small comfort, that. Excellent chapter!

How intriguing that Severus dreams of Hermione's rejection. I'm wondering if I should reread Caramel before reading this! :)

Brilliant, my dear! I can't wait to see what you have for us next.

Thank you so much for bringing us the sequel - well worth the wait!!

Incredible chapter. Yes, it was full of angst and sadness, but amazingly written. I *LOVED* that last paragraph. It was so very in-character. 

Just re-read Caramel recently and started on this one. Great so far - looking forward to more whenever you get around to posting :D 

Seeing the Great Hall from Hermione's perspective seems much more... something, not sure... than from Harry's. The bit about Lupin and Tonks, with hands almost touching was beautiful. It seemed to bring back vividly the fondness that Hermione had for both of them, and the help that she had received from Lupin at the end of Caramel.

Then this when she sees Severus:
For a moment, there was a roaring in her ears and her scalp prickled and her flesh seemed to go cold from the inside, and she just swayed there.

I can't wait to see how you handle an eventual reunion between the two of them. I imagine it will be incredibly powerful. Also can't wait to see how this takes off into post DH time frame. :D

Well, for a depressing chapter, at least you fit a whole lot of it in... maybe we won't have to see as many depressing scenes for Severus in future chapters?

I love the doe parallel, how he, like Potter, was led to the pond. And that she appeared black to him - nice touch!

Ugh, that horrible mirror. Leave it to Sensible Severus to deal with it as should have been done centuries ago. And good for him for refusing to tell nosy Dumbles the reason why.

Severus just bowed his head a little, so he wouldn’t have to look at Dumbledore, but he was already simmering with relief, and reawakened guilt, and raw anger, and, most hateful of all, a craven gratification. Dead though he was, the old man could reach right in and twist.

Wonderful description of such complicated emotions warring within Severus! At least he has some solace, with the portraits knowing his true loyalty and motivation.

RoR usage - it makes total sense that the students would go back to the place they'd used so much the last time the castle had been taken over by an evil presence. The idea of them doing a type of 'Underground Railway', with the twins at the other end is fabulous. And I love that Snape is using the Marauders Map, the gift of which Hermione has now forgotten, to help. I wonder if Harry will ever realize her dot is gone from his copy.

On to see if he gets an esquistely torturous glimpse of her in the Forest of Dean! (hoping!!)

He yanked open a cupboard door and transferred a phial from his pocket to the jumbled shelf, then took out two phials, a jar, and two paper bags and jammed them into a string bag.

This is Hermione's antidote, yes? (please say yes!!)

One after another, he plucked the little shards of caramel from the tin and crunched them between his teeth, working his way through them without pause. When they were gone, so was that particular temptation.

This is so sad! I realize it's necessary, but I feel so bad for him in his solitude. He needs to be comforted too!

Something… what was it? Something about a liquid Obliviate that was fully reversible… where had she read about it?

That's right, Hermione! Fight that Obliviate! Find your way through it! :D


As much as I loved the future scene from the Prologue, I'm glad you're going back and continuing the narrative from a time frame closer to the end of Caramel.

*hearts the author so*

the coin grew very warm and the runes encircling the hippogriff on the reverse disappeared and in their place a message flashed.

Severus where are you?


EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
