Oh my, only one chapter left with so much happening?! Can't wait to see how you tie everything up. I have absolutely loved this story, especially Rowan, and will miss it when you finish it.

LOL. Sneaky bastard wearing longjohns while everyone else freezes! :)

Thestral hair thermals? Hmmm... That idea is worth some merit!

I'm kind of worried about her, now.I like seeing how well she's doing her work, though.I see you found a middle road through the canon that came along after you started this. It fits very well.

Just a few more chapters?? As much as I enjoy reading a completed story, I also don't want the really good ones to end.  I can't imagine how you're going to be able to wrap this story up in just a 'few more chapters.'  But I'll take your word for it.I really like how you slip Severus' thoughts and feelings into the story.  It's been nice to see his wants, needs and wishes as well as his insecurities.  But, then again, just about anything written about my favorite character - as long as it's 'in character' - is good for me.Lovely wedding day.  This has been a nice conclusion to everything Rowan and Severus have had to go through for the past school year.  Depending on how you conclude this story, will there be a sequel?  Guess I'll have to wait to see how this story ends.  Eagerly awaiting.  In the meantime, think I'll just read this whole story again.Thanks for the good writing and captivating story.

I thought I'd reviewed this before, but I must have read it on my Ipad, which for some reason won't let me leave reviews.  The good side is, I had to read it again! Love the way he's a little awkward, can't quite control himself, and it's not perfect for her.  Much more realistic in my interpretation of Snape as a man who has not had a lot of offers in the sex department. :D

That was a very lovely wedding! I would love to see fanart of it! I wonder if someone would be willing to do it? Oh, and quite a nice wedding consummation too!

I love that he scoops her up and carries her over the doorway in an almost businesslike manner, but he stopped her from walking to make sure it would happen. It's a nifty little picture of his personality.  He wants the normal romantic things but carries them out in his way.Very sweet wedding day.

oh dear, poor confused girl!  Who can blame her.  I can imagine that would be very distressing.  But Snape needs to do what he needs to do!

It's a step in the right direction on the path to mutual understanding. :)

Good for her... working her way through the situation rationally.  It was good for her to go to him, and he's got to know that she will eventually come to terms with the whole thing if she needs to.

Rowan needs to realise the situation is just as difficult for Snape to cope with.  She is well aware cognitively that he is only doing the best he can, but she is still responding emotionally, which is understandable at her age.  He needs to realise she is still a teenager and make allowances.   Great chapter. :)

She might think she's grown up but she's still such a child, in a world of big people problems.  At least she recognizes that she needs to grow up some more.

There's some nice development here.  I like seeing how they're sort of testing each other out and feeling out the lay of the land between each other.

I'm pleased she was honest with him. :)

It was about time she let go of some emotion, after all she'd been through.  I have to say that the image of Snape drinking Firewhisky out of what was essentially a cockroach will keep me up nights.  Blech.

Aw, poor thing.  She's *ed if she does and *ed if she doesn't.  She knows what she wants, but since it's being treated like some sort of booby prize, it's not that appealing to her right now...

Phew!  The trial went better than it might have gone.  It's a good thing Dolores is probably still in the Janus Thickey Ward at St. Mungo's.

She wants to play along.  That's good for Dumbledore's plans.

Oh, that is a fine mess, indeed.  Whey did they take Snape when they came to rescue the girl?  Not Dumbledore's brightest moment.

Yep... well, at least it appeared that he was getting ready to do what was wanted, and appearance is everything.  Now he's stuck with actually doing it.

Well, now the full extent of the trap is understood.  Should he do it or not?  Hmmm...

Aw... nice catch, Severus, to realize someone had already been there to check up on him!

The plot darkens. 

Ooo... The Tedious One has a trap for the Potions master.Did you know that there's a group on Ravelry called The Petulant Ravelers?
