very interesting and enjoyable story

*scream*! Ohmigawd, I can't wait for the rest. :}

Great job as always!

I like the way Snape didn't exactly give him advice, only emphasized the difference between living a life that meets the expectations of others and one that meets his own needs. And encouraged him to consider the consequences of BOTH before making decisions. And the last paragraph nicely capped the chapter, by showing us why Snape doesn't regret his own choices.

Snape's backstory at last! Very satisfying. I like the idea of him as a willing but half-hearted death eater, quitting Voldemort's service for almost entirely logical reasons. A good man by choice, rather than by inclination, is how this chapter reads for me.

Draco's certainly come a long way now hasn't he?

For some odd reason, I thought it was Hermione in the end who came up to jump at Severus =p .. But then again, in the summary of the last chapter where it said: "draco has a little talk with a trusted friend," I also thought said trusted friend was the gargoyle. Hahaha!

 I don't know where my head's at these days, but it'll be in a place much worse if you don't keep writing! 

I just finished reading the chapters... and I love it!!!!... please don't even think of letting this unfinished... please... PLEASE!!! XD... I'm still grieving on Fair Exchanges... I promised myself I wouldn't read another unfinished fic... but what can I say... your fics are just too good to let them pass =P

Still loving it.

Draco got some food-for-thought.  Severus can probably be certain the girlisn't pure-blooded, but I wonder if he has any idea of Draco's interest in Hermione.  I think Draco has decided that Hermione isn't the type of girl to 'play' with, and  won't make any moves on her unless he's willing to make an effort at a serious relationship/commitment with her. 

I love how Severus' wife greeted him at the end.

Looking forward to the next.

awwww... love that ending - his wife coming to visit (or was she just hiding out til Draco left??)

I've finally read all the story so far and I love it!I'm glad that you have decided to continue,I like how this story is different form most of the DM/HG fics outthere.It takes me back to before DH and we didn't know the lives of our favorite made-up people would turn out.I hope to see more Harry,he sure has changed,Rontoo but all the hermones and all will do that.Severus is my all time favorite and i'm glad that your writing him in a good way,he needs happiness and i'm glad you've at least let him find it in the fan fic world.Hope you can update soon!

That was an interesting chapter.  I kind of like the idea of Snape's wife. 

Wow.  Another fantastic update.  I loved the Snape backstory...but I'm still dying to know what Harry did to Mrs. Snape.  Thanks for updating again.  :)

this is so lovely. I just read the first 19 parts in a row and I love it! A great example of the way things never turn out to be quite as happily ever after as in the fairy tales. I'm so glad that you didn't make Harry a complete tosser.  And I love Snape's wife, she's an interesting character. cant wait  for more

Ooooh very interesting chapter.

Can't wait to find out what Draco really wanted to talk about. 

Oh, wow.  What an amazingly difficult story Sev just told.  

That was certainly interesting... now if only the chapter went long enough to say Potter's involvement with Mrs Riddle-Snape...

Haha, maybe next chapter...

Wow.  Interesting backgound story.  Sad she never got to hear Severus speak, his voice is one of his best features!

Your Voldemort was quite disturbed. 

*wonders* Was that really what Draco came to talk about, or at least was that all he came to talk about?

Looking forward to more! 

Wow! The only Death Eater that wasn't her enemy - very interesting tale of Snape's wife.

Oh boy has he got it bad! Love the gargoyle bit, should've known it was a "she" ... She doesn't say much, but it must be interesting being a silent spectator in the thick of such drama :D

I love the fact that the gargoyle followed him home.  And he really needs to apologize to Hermione.  I love the way she is treating him.  It really makes him look like a child. 

"Mind the new gargoyle." *howls with laughter*

Your story is (as you probably know) absolutely wonderful- your humor and your accurate characterization, especially of Hermione, blend well. I really like that you've shown one of the possible splits between Hermione and the boys, and just how devastating it would be to her- this is one of the only D/H fics I've seen that gets right just how large a part of her world they are. I also like the fine balance of the relationship between Hermione and Snape. Very, very well done indeed.

The gargoyle followed him home! *snort* Yep! Definitely a girl. *smirks* He should have toned down the Malfoy Charm a bit.

I like what Hermione said to him:

"Maybe you need to go spend your evenings down in Slytherin again, so you'll have someone to spar with. Because these games, they don't interest me at all. It's hard for me to believe that anyone really enjoys it, luring and baiting all the time, then plunging in the knife, but maybe that's just the difference between Slytherin and Gryffindor."

and that she mentioned that she 'felt the magic' the most when dancing with him. It's like her to be able to get over the embarrasing bits and forgive the insults faster than others.

Now if Draco can just get over him pride...ususally that's a Gryffindor problem...

Looking forward to the next.

He's trying so hard to maintain some dignity, it's painfully funny. I hope Hermione isn't going to let him keep his distance.

nonono!I lovelovelove this story, m'dear. Imagery is fantabulous and you actually managed to break all the stupid cliches about thesew two. I. LOVE. YOU.In a good way...

So glad you are continuing with this.

I wonder if a love triangle is to be had in the near future?

Anyway, I'm enjoying the story so far! So I'll be fine with however it turns out just so long as you keep writing!
