Excellent retelling of perverted justice and vigilante murder.

I looked up the story of Leo Frank when I started reading this story and as soon as I did, I knew your story was going to break my heart! And it did. I still haven't read the second ending. Somehow, I cannot. And if I was Hermione, I don't think I could even bear to see Harry let alone consider him a friend by that point...

It is so much easier to forgive a dead man than a live one and if Snape had survived DH, I can still see this happening. And now, I really need to go read something fluffy...

How odd that a stock photo of Leo Frank looks a lot like young Tom Riddle!

Good ending.

Thank you again for the alt ending, I usually scroll through tha chapter summaries and thought it was just going to be a random student dying. (That sounded really bad, didn't it? I meant a PRETEND one:}

Did you not state at the beginning of this story that the Dementors had been banished? Is there a woman named Dementor in the prison?

Thank you for the alternate ending. Most authors do not do that. I do. I was going to positively send you a Howler!

o dear...i like the second ending sooooo much more... the first one had me crying and wondering how she didnt kill harry...i would NEVER forgive him...but thats just me!

anyways, kudos to you for this wonderful story   ssspllleeeee~ SSL

A sad tale but worthy of telling.

I read the original ending on SH.  This was much better and didnt bring tears to my eyes.  Phenominal story this, well done; again.

yep. I definetly like ending B better. lol.

tragic, but nicely done.

i love both versions of the ending, but being a sentimental fool, i have to prefer the one where he doesn't die! terrific story!

I know I already reviewed you know where, but couldn't resist commenting again.As I said, I like the original ending more.  And after re-reading I am even more positive of my opinion.  It is more poignant and really strikes a chord in my social conscience.  I like that is a story with a true moral, much like "A Man For All Seasons".  While Severus is not exactly Thomas More, he is a man with convictions.  And that these convictions should see him condemned and reviled is but a symptom of our corrupted version of justice.While the romantic in me is overjoyed with the possibility of Severus and Hermione finding happiness, I can't quite quiet my more pragmatic side. 

I definitely prefer this ending! Thanks for sharing.

At least there is hope!

I like Hermione's honesty with her husband and how skilled she is at avoiding misunderstanding.  That shows what a strong connection she has with him, and that is very reassuring.

hermione's letter to harry was great! and i like this kinder version of minerva.

great update! i don't know which is worse-harry's letter or skeeter's article.

poor snape! and poor hermione. please let him out of Azkaban soon!

the suspense grows... very nice chapter!

wow, this is like Law and Order: Hogwarts Unit. it was helpful to have a description of what happened to Anna, but ew. the killer has to be someone especially sick. can't wait to see how it unfolds.

 Having finally caught up with the first two chapters, I can see how Argus got tied in with things. (That'll teach me to start reading on the third chapter, eh?)

I like how you quickly begin with an "update" on things that have happened since we've read last. Lucius... gonna keep mah eye on him. :)

I've greatly enjoyed this chapter. I guess it's because I finally got to "see" what happened to the girl. Good work. Imagery is great.

Poor Filch. Teehee. How'd he get mixed up in that? (Guess it's some great Squib/Ex-DE conspiracy, eh?) Good chapter.
