They sound destined for one another. Poor little Severus. I guess his dad was too afraid of him to beat him for it. And poor Severus' hopes about school didn't come true either. I hope by the end of this story Hermione can help mend some of the damage.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Isn't it sad? No child should have to go through that. I think Hermione might be up to it - thanks for reviewing! Helena

didn't know bellatrix was that cruel! feel for hermione... happy that severus want to be with hermione and shown her love!! hope that happen for them, they belong together, so have new life filled with passion, and things that make life worth living!!

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

I can imagine Bellatrix being much more cruel than that. But you get to a point where gratuitous violience just doesn't make a difference. War is horrible. But we are finally getting to a point where these two can put their past away and move forward. Please keep following the story, more chapters are in the queue and will slowly be posted! Helena

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Aren't cliffies the worst? At least more chapters are posted. But the tension must build before it bursts. Keep reading! Love, Helena - cliffie emoticon to follow

I definitely thought the first misspelling was accidental... But then it just seemed perfect; I can totally see Skeeter doing that!

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Yes, she is one insulting cockroach! Thanks for the review. Helena

Bellatrix should thank her lucky stars that she is rotting in hell, instead of at Severus' tender mercys.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

You have that right! I would hate to see his methods of revenge. Thanks for reading! Helena

I'll have to (try to) wait patiently for more of your story! I really like it so far, and I admit I'm waiting to see if them becoming a couple changes Hermione's plans for readmitting him into society.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Hopefully it won't be too long! The next chapter is in the pending queue now :) I'm glad you are enjoying the story and I appreciate your letting me know! Happy Reading! Helena

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

It's about time someone did! I'm surprised I've never crossed a story before where someone did. Thanks for reading the story! Helena

poor snape, just where he wanted to go on his first real venture out: to Harry's birthday party, probably with a raging hard-on from being so close to Hermione and all.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Can you imagine? All he's done is dream dirty little dreams about her, and she's taking he to Grimmauld. Ought to teach him a lesson about agreeing to things before he knows what they are! Helena

Haha, I love that snape thinks she's wanting to open up an agency for illegal going-ons. brothel anyone? Lol.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Poor fellow, he's clueless about Muggle occupations! Don't worry, Hermione will set him straight. Thanks for reviewing! Helena

Their first outing to the Potters' was a smashing success, and I hope their next one will be just as successful.Damn that beetle-brained Rita Skeeter! At least she didn't totally destroy their surreal moment – for a tiny moment they felt that surge of magic and know that something special has happened.Hummm... maybe having their photo splashed across tomorrow morning's Prophet will help (rather than hinder) Severus' acceptance back into Wizarding society.I enjoyed this chapter very much, Helena. Well done!Beth

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

Beth, I am so glad you enjoyed the chapter and left a review! You and I both feel the same way about that dog-gone bug.The next chapter is in the queue and it may - just may - address some of your wondering - let's hope so!Thanks for reading! Helena

If it doesn't muck up your plot too much, please consider waiting for the success of Severus' PR campaign before getting them "together". Because, I admit, for me it's the anticipation which drives me to love romance stories. Anyways, I'm enjoying this! Please keep writing!

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

I am glad you are enjoying it! Keep reading and we'll find out if that happens. Thanks for taking the time to review,

DRAT! That blasted beetle, after such a good night she has to poke her feelers in. P.S. I don't like Rita Skeeter one little bit, Just in case you couldn't guess.

Response from Helena Rickman (Author of The Leather-Bound Promise)

That Rita is a nosy you-know-what! You never know, one day she may just get what she deserves! Thanks for leaving the review! Helena
