I like how this story feels like a fairy tale to me! you did good!

This is an amazing, original story.  I could have sworn I reviewed it yesterday, but maybe I dreamed that I did, or maybe I had a computer-connection problem.Wow!  Great story!

Oh, lovely. After this DH seems a bit more bearable. :)

I read this based on Droxy's recommendation. I'm glad I did. What a sweet story! Very well-written. I like how you tied in all of JKR's elements into your story. Good job!

This is certainly one way I could actually believe Hermione tolerating Ron as a lover/husband for 19 years!

Interesting idea, and I did like the bit with the hag in the woods. A rather happy fate for Snape (not so much for Ron, but to be honest, I'd rather have Severus live on than Ron).

I never thought I'd say this but... Poor Ron! Being evicted from his own body. :D

I liked this story, it was a very original twist. I kept expecting Hermione or Harry or both or someone to see through him but it never came. It's really sort of bittersweet, though, isn't it. Severus can be ever so happy, but he still only got what he's got because he was shifted into Ron's body and because Hermione believes him to be Ron. If she knew what had happened or if she ever found out, everything might change. That's kind of tragic. He can only have his wish fulfilled if he's prepared live the rest of his life pretending to be another man. 

I also particularly like the description of the hag and how she went through the forest. That was really chilling. That entire scenario actually with the forest and the snow and then the hag coming towards him. 

What a very interesting out look.  I'm impressed that you 'killed off' Ron and 'reserected' Severus.  I love how he was able to go on with his life.

That was such a great way to perpetuate SS/HG and weave it into DH! Feel a little bad for Ron, but he always seems to get shafted in SS/HG fics, so nothing new there! Great job

Author's Response: Thank you. I feel bad for Ron too, but there really were no other way to deal with his soul.

This was a great explanation of why Hermione actually tolerated Ron for so long. But red hair and freckles? Poor Severus! (not that there is anything wrong with red hair and freckles, but can you imagine Snapes reaction?)Thanks for the great reading!

Loved it. What a great alternative perspective to that horrible epilogue!

I admire the way you kept closely to the story line in DH but still managed to have Severus and Hermione wind up together. It also provides a good explanation of why she managed to stand "Ron" for 19 years.

Wow. This is a very inventive fix! It explains the R/Hr relationship far better than canon does. A very satisfying read.

So many funny lines, I can't pick a favourite...

Oh, wow.  Will we ever figure out what happened to Ron?  That was something.  I enjoyed it quite a bit. 

That, I believe, is the best and most original way of making the epilogue Snape friendly that I expect to come across.  Brilliant!  And thank you for it!

Okay, I got to ask, where did Ron spirit go? Are the both of them cohabitating one body or did Ron go where Snape should have gone?

Other than that, it was a very interesting story.

This explains how Hermione ended up with "Ron", like so many, I was never comfortable Hermione and Ron as a couple, so this soothes my soul. Wherever Ron is, I'm sure he's safe and sound. 

Ahah!! I found this again!  SQUEE.  You ahve no ida how brill this is..of to pimp

What a great twist!  While I do feel a bit bad for Ron, I think Hermione is likely much happier this way than with the "real" Ron.  Nicely done.

I think that this is SUCH an incredibly interesting idea. It nicely weaves canon and fanon. I was particularly impressed by the use of actual lines from DH.I couldn't help but have the fate of Ron's soul in the back of my mind during the course of the story.You wrote:All right, Ginny had been more directly threatened, but there was no doubt in Severus’s mind that Hermione would have been the Death Eater’s next victim, so he felt like he owed something to Molly. What was with him that made Hermione always come to the forefront of his thoughts? Did he feel Weasley’s emotions as well?and“I’ll come with you,” Hermione said. She took his hand in hers under the benevolent gaze of the past headmasters’ portraits. Ron’s part in him rejoiced in the spontaneous gesture, whereas Severus’s part questioned why it felt good to be shown affection by the know-it-all.I kept wondering, "Did their souls sort of melt together?" and "Did Ron get trapped in Snape's body and there is only some remnant of Ron left in his body that is affecting the emotions/reactions of Snape?" And, one cannot forget the possibility of untrustworthy narration so there was always the chance that Snape is lying to us and to himself and blaming things on Ron, rather than his own emotions. The narrator always refers to Ron as "Weasley" - so the narrator is, to me, coming from a "Snape-sympathetic" (for lack of a better term) perspective.I don't think that Ron died and Snape's soul seamlessly took over his body, however. I had considered that a possibility until I read the paragraph wherein Snape takes over Ron's body again.I really, really liked this story. I wish - an annoying wish so feel free to ignore it - that it was a multi-chaptered fic. I think it would've been super interesting to see the development of all this fleshed-out into multiple chapters. Not to mention, it would've perhaps afforded us the chance to see Ron's side of it all.But I really enjoyed this fic. I'm enjoying all of your fics that I'm reading as a matter of fact.
