Well how is Hermione to know, if Severus won't give her the tiniest sign he has feelings for her. Dogs are wonderful, they can sense when someone is in pain,if I'm upset mine will not leave my side, untill I feel better, Black will be a comfort to Severus, while he figures things out. I hope he remembers not to use a drying charm on his trousers, or his fairy God mother {aka Pansy} will not be pleased.

Enjoying it so far, but just wondering, Who is Sevarella's fairy God mother will be.

SEVERUS LIVES! Always my favorite start, looking forward to reading the rest.

Aaaw! And hehehe that he named it Black, though I hope he doesn't begin to project resentment from the namesake onto the puppy.

How sad.  I hope he doesn't use a drying charm on his trousers.It almost seems that he expects Hermione to know that he wants her; but how can she if he never communicates?

I will gladly read your story again. Thank you!

oh, very good start!  Can't wait to move on to the next chapter!

Good start . I will follow your story . Love the story after war and grown up Hermione  with Severus.Best regards from Lora

Yes, together at last! Thank you again for this story. It should be available by description agains all sorts of maladies as it never fails to cheer me up (and fortifies me for doing all sorts of household chores in preparation of the coming workweek ...)

I do not know how often I have read your story now but it pleases me yet again (and I find I haven't yet reviewed all chapters).Skimming over the reviews I found the one where someone told you off because S is supposedly too much out of character. I do not think so. Yes, he does a drastic turn-around, but nearly dying does that to you, having a paradigm - shift is not the same as being out-of-character. Snape is still Snape in all his snarky glory in your story, he just doesn't wallow in decade-old misery. And you presented the turning points very neatly, with touch and smell.I do hope you are all right now and your therapy went well.
