A wonderful ending to a very entertaining story. My favorite part remains to be where Hermione blasts the door down at Severus's friend's flat and the passionate aftermath.

*sniff* Awwww...such an Awwww ending.

I enjoyed this story, from beginning to end. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

I enjoyed this story completely.  I will be on the lookout for the next one! 

awwww...happily ever after. :-)

If only RL was that way.  Guess why that puts me here reading all your lovely, hopeful, creative, suspenseful, beautiful stories...please continue!

Love the happy ending :)

I loved this! Really great story. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I am glad that everything turned out well for everyone. I never expected Hermione to open up a preparatory school, though it makes sense. Is Severus involved in the school at all? I am happy that they were able to continue with their research. With two brilliant minds like theirs, one never knows what they could develop.

That was sweet.  I rather enjoyed it. 

I liked the whole flashback thing. It allowed the reader to get the jist of the trial w/o having to hear every word spoken.

HEY this isnt the end is it?

I am glad Hermione was able to shut off her brain and go with Severus. A lovely note to end the chapter with.

Great chapter! The flashbacks/reflections really worked. I was so worried there when she returned home alone - and then when I read what happened in court - and it was such a relief to realise her dream wasn't a dream at all.

So good to see that Severus is finally able to open up and admit to having feelings, and not just stick to his pride.

When she returned home without him, I had my doubts - what a great way to throw the readers off but what a present suprise for her to wake up with him holding her - I loved it this way.  Great idea and more impact to show how he really feels

Well - I am glad that Ginny might be improving - I loved how he held out his hand in invitation - this version of him is so sensual and so wonderful to read

Wow - the sex scene was too hot - I loved the overwhelming need that seemed to poor off of them.  It was fantastic... good for both of them - great chapter

Not good - 1st rule of logic - do not take potential women to wait on you while you go to a brothel for services rendered.  Hermione is a smart woman and she will figure that one out and he will be stuck with friendship because that is what she will judge he wants - this is going to be an up and down fic - I love those especially.

Well at least they made some peace by the end of the chapter but peace is always tenative.  I am glad that Hermione is not falling back to Ron in this one - I really never thought they were good together.  Loved this chapter and cannot wait to see what all is going to happen.

More fur flying - now even the cats.  I love how Hermione is handling all of them - she shows compassion - friendship, but she can still put them in their place.  When Severus is mad, he gets mad at the world... poor Hermione has to deal with the backlash but Severus will soon realize that Hermione is no doormat.

Loved this chapter - it was great throwing in early that Severus had been working on notes all along to help Ginny.  I was so sad by the Spinster End visit - I do not think Severus at this point knows Hermione well enough and he is misreading her as she is him.  I loved the ending where Harry is going to try to make things right or better. 

LMAO - this was a great chapter.  I loved it when she snapped on him... the piss off was priceless.  I was laughing so hard when she tossed his dinner into the trash that I had to slow down reading just to process it all - then she told him to stay in his room if he did not like it and I find myself saying outloud - "Tell him girlfriend!!!"

Right then - the glare between Hermione and Snape in the courtroom says that some fur is going to fly.  I so love tension between them - it makes a great start to a fic to see where they go.  I liked how you had Harry do what was right - even if it was not easy for him.  This should be very interesting.

Well - first I am glad this is a Severus lived beyond the final conflict. Second, your fics are always terrific so I am looking forward to this one.  Third, the fur is going to fly already in this one - I cannot wait too see which way it lands....

Great chapter, I loved Severus's admition that he made a mistake too....

Aww. that's so sweet.  By going to the end of the day and using flashbacks, you really upped the tension of the story and spared us the boring details.  I'm so glad you took us all the way to the next morning so we knew that her worries were unneeded.

I think you did a great job with the reflection/flashback concept.  It had a really easy flow to it, that wouldn't cause the reader any confusion.  That is a difficult task to accomplish, and you did it gracefully.  Fantastic update!  ~*

yay!  another chapter!  i was just thinking about this story on the weekend, and wondering when we would get more, and then here it was!  and what a meaty chapter, full of emotional highs and lows.  i was so happy that hermione turned out to have jumped the gun with her assumption that it was over, even though i totally understand why she would think that.  and i loved that scene at the end, when he has come back, and says the line about how there's something between them and he's not ready to give up on it.  the whole scene really, i thought struck such a nice chord.  and the flashbacks worked very well, so i'm glad you made that choice.
