This chapter is SO hot. I'm addicted to the teacher/student thing, so this is probably going to be my favorite chapter. It's perfect. 

The dialogue between Severus and Hermione in this chapter is amazing. 

I was hoping you would come back and finish this! I loved this story, and it was nice to see Hermione act the fool for a change! Looking forward to your next story!

I love this story so far, and this chapter is crazy. Hermione is right to leave Severus, yet I still feel bad for him!!! It's so interesting how twisted their relationship is. 

An Obliviated Lucius sounds like a much better proposition.  Start fresh and train him well! :)

Eww.  That was one awful nightmare! :0

Wow.  It's hard to believe it's finally over;)  I think it's great that you were able to tie everything up in one chapter.  Severus' 'do you mind' resonated no matter how long it's been since reading those chapters, and I'm sure it resonated with Hermione, too.  Brilliant ending!

Oh yay! You finished it! I'm glad it all worked out. She FINALLY made the right decision. Good for Severus to make her sweat it out a bit.

All's well that ends well, I guess.  I'm glad they ended up together after all of that.

 very fitting ending. I think Lucius losinghis memory was fitting, and I hope Narcissa has learned something of a lesson.  I enjoyed this story very much, doll. Hugs~

Perfect!  Now Draco can remake his father, instead of Lucius and Cissa making over Draco.  I'm glad Severus didn't draw out his reconciliation with Hermione, and that he and Hermione left without seeing Harry jump out of the cake.I wonder who Lucius contacted, the ones who would join us without much prodding.  I hope Severus got the names somehow before he hexed Lucius; Draco doesn't need those "friends" showing up.Thank you for an exciting story.  You're truly fabbo!!

That was wonderful.

Great ending Southern!

Such admirable restraint on both their parts! :)

I'm still with you.  I have read a ton of amazing stories on this site and have been really bad at reviewing.  I was inspired by another author to review on a regular basis and so it has been my August resolution to do so.  I am finding it much easier to keep an August resolution than those silly new years ones I abandon annually...but I digress.  I don't believe I have reviewed this story yet,  so let this one speak for all chapters when I say how much I am enjoying this.  They are at a critical point in their relationship (or whatever you want to call it at this time) and I am nervous about how it will turn out for them.  On the otherhand, I know I will not be disappointed with whatever you have in store for them.  I hope RL allows you to update quickly but I understand if not.  Hope to see more from you soon!

Really enjoying your story hope you update soon.

I'm still here and I'll wait for however long it takes to finish. =)

Poor Lucius? Somehow I don't think that quite fits the bill =) I love the story so far!

I think we can let you live for now.  You are such a good writer after all.

I certainly haven't lost interest, although RL has kept me from reading this chapter as soon as it was posted.  This is one of those stories that's so unique and intriguing, you just can't put it down.  And despite the length between updates, I usually remember exactly where it left off.  I don't find too many stories that grab my attention quite so firmly.

Hopefully, all will work out and Severus and Hermoine will reunite.  I was a bit surprised she went to tell her friends everything before finding Severus and kissing his feet. 

Quit reading? No way! I have to know what happens next!

I would never drop a story you are writing        (SSHG).

I know RL has been stressful, and that is putting it mildly, I am sure. You have been in my thoughts and prayers and I hope your recovery goes well.

how could i ever drop this story?  it's too faboo!  i hope you are feeling better.  thanks so much

But where'd Ron go? :)

Don't worry, I'm still here!  And your masterful portrayal of Severus has me REALLY wondering now---who is he, really, and what is he truly planning?  Has Hermione indeed only been used as a tool?  Is he somehow possessed by the Dark Lord, or planning to set himself up as a new Dark Lord?  Is he under Lucius' power somehow, and this is not the way the 'real' Severus would act at all?  Or does he deserve to win this year's Oscar?  Do update again soon!
