I can picture Severus in a country setting.  No dunder heads as neighbors, because there are no neighbors.

what a facinating story.  thanks so much

i like your premises, your reasons for snape's behavior, hermione's background.  you write a good stuation.

Whoa, I did not expect that!  I'm guessing that Severus could not have destroyed his own Horcrux because I can't think of anything else that would cause him to send the letter to the Ministry telling them about it.

I've got to go read the last chapter.  Now!

I'm glad that Severus went to Gringotts to look for Hermione.  Sooner or later she would have talked herself into going back to that house whether she had anyone to accompany her or not!  And when he turned up at ther door I laughed out loud!

Read straight through and thoroughly enjoyed. I got the idea that the story could have been fleshed out a bit more - especially around the beginning and end of the tale. Delightful in any case.

Why did she get angry?  Snape's reply that if he had merely told her what the inscription said she would have learned nothing made perfect sense to me.And now she is missing his presence.  She will have to do better in the future if she wants him to spend time with her.Neat chapter!Beth

Mister Snape is lonely, and this works quite well to Hermione's advantage... except he doesn't want to take money form her personal funds...  So, he has two homes, and I can't help but wonder where is second home is.  I'm very intrigued to find out what he will be able to tell her about the Pensieve cum Horcrux.  On to the next chapter!Beth

Cool!  If I needed to know how a spell had been made, I'd ask Severus, too.  I only hope he will be willing to help his former student.Off to chapter three now!Beth

Tubersnuf is a wonderful character!  I started reading this story today on my lunch break (on my cell phone, no less) and couldn't' wait to get home to be able to post a review and tell you how much I like it!I'm off to the next chapter!Beth

Very Hermione. :) I enjoyed their convo.

I like the way she worked everything out from the little he told her

So THAT"S where his second home is located!  I'm glad that the two of them were able to settle down together in this now welcoming home in Scotland!


Lovely story!

This is an imaginative and logical use of JKR's world.

I see by the dates this was written before the 7th book was out. an interesting start. Glad to see this at the top of the list; I like finished tales. A good choice of career for Hermione.

That was a twist I didn't see coming - Snape's horcrux?! I'm dying to read the next chapter now!

I bet Snape is annoyed (alright, pissed) that Hermione called him a coward.  Interesting take that Severus had his own Horcrux.

LIfe certainly is dealing Hermione some blows, isn't it? 

Always in for a mystery, our Snape. 

I like this quite a bit.  

Oh my, this is interesting! Sluething horcruxes and Dark Arts ... you'd think this to be more up Harry's alley ... well, except there's no glory.

Write more, you've got at least one reader! 

Nice hook and an interesting start to the story. This is a job I could see Hermione doing--lots of bookwork and lots of action once all the contingency planning is done.

Ooo!  A little mystery on our hands... Love it!   I'm dying to see the next chapter, good work by the way.  :)

I like this beginning. 

Ok, you got my interest.  What is Severus doing for a living?  Why would he help Hermione? This is looking good.
