Damn! That's...I don't know what.  Sounds like Dumbledore was ready to sacrifice Hermione to Ron. It's better that Dumbledore perished in his war with Riddle. He can on longer manipulate the lives of others the way he see's fit. 

Where would Molly Weasley get enough money to buy a person? She must have been cheap. I suppose now that we know that Molly isn't normal, maybe she has financial resourses we don't know about but you would think she would have shared it with her family. But who knows what she'd do at this point. 

I take it the Malfoys are party to the information that Rose in not the Granger-Snape's biological child? It seems like a lot of people know. When will they tell her?

It's so sad that Severus has to live through this even in his new life. He has a good heart and he is a warrior. He will continue to fight evil even though Tom Riddle is dead because he is that kind of man and the world needs men like him. I'm glad he has Hermione to keep him centered. 

Thank you for this new chapter!  It's wonderful to know where everything now stands, and I can torture myself with wondering about the identity of "the redhead lurking in the shadows near the caterer's entrance."  Molly?  Arthur?  Or another Weasley?
Does Rita have read hair?  (I can't remember.)

Great chapter!

I really love your story, as heartbreaking as it is. Thank you for another wonderful chapter.

I adore this story, thank you so much for the update.

Thank you for the update, I hope the ''redhead'' doesn't mess things up for Severus and Hermione. The conversation with Hermione's parents seems to have come to an  abrupt end, will we be hearing more of them?

Really enjoying this story so far. Looking forward to seeing what happens next! 

I hope all goes well for the rest of the service.  I like the idea that Lucius is there had has their back.

I hope nothing else happens to threaten Hermione's peace of mind.

curious. very curious. I'm intruiged in you divulging on more of the history and the Weasleys for that matter

So it was Hermione's parents arrival, that upset her so badly. I hope nothing worse happens, to spoil the day.

Aha, so that is why Minerva is so maternal with Severus. :)

What are they going to do about Ron?

Poor Lucius. They're all picking on him! :)

Yep, a name would be helpful.:)

Love the relationship Minerva and Severus have. :)

Quickest way to get information, I suppose.

I guess plausible deniability comes in here. :)

Always happy to see a new update to this wonderful story, thank you so much.
