Southern_witch, you are one of the most talented fic authors I've read. And I've read a lot! I have my account here on PP set to "Remember Me" on my BlackBerry...my guilty pleasure on the way to work or university!
Keep up the amazing work =D

Okay, i actually feel 'caught up' with how it all came abuot and how Hermione and Severus got together. But the potion - did they finish it? Or did that part take place in the earlier chapters and I forgot? 

Gads, I really love this story.

And what an enjoyable trip down memory lane!  Too bad canon doesn't follow your better story line.

poor Severus!  that she could not remember these things must have been hugely aggravating to him, especially her decision that it's not Ron she longs for.  thanks for the new chapter, and I'm looking forward to the return to the present!

Oh my goodness---so sweet, and so sad!  But still hoping the ending will be worth (in happiness) all the angst in getting there!  :-)

No. You can't stop there. I was engrossed in the chapter and didn't notice how close I was to the end until I read your author's note. (Hopefully my 6 year old won't repeat what I said at school  tomorrow.) I've really enjoyed those chapters dealing with the memories. Now I'm looking forward to the rest.

that was an awesome chapter and I can't wait to read more! 

I love the depth with which you write.  There is such a richness to your discriptions and dialogue.  Thank you so very much for all of the hard work you put in to transfer your vivid imagination to paper.  Thank you for sharing it.

I'm catching up bit by bit with this story.  In one way, Ithink Hermione made the right decision in obliviatingher own memories, because Severus would have beendead if Bella had known anything of what happened withhim and Hermione.  But as for Ron - no, I could neversee that relationship working; for all his good points,his intellect was sadly lacking, and that would never dofor Hermione.

So I tracked you down from Ashwinder to here, finally caugjt up with the story, and I'm impatiently waiting for more!  I'm scared of Lucius and curious about Hermione wanting to erase her own mind.  I also think that it was not Lucius who cursed Hermione from making love to Ron, but out of jealousy before his "death" Severus did it.  Alas, it is your story with it's wonderful twists and turns.  I just can't wait for more!   Rest up, cause I certainly do! Veronica

Great chapter!  Loving the memories, especially this chappie's Drunken Snape.Looking forward to the next!

Not enough, not enough!  I was so glad to see another chapter.  I'd been attempting to de-stress by re-reading this story just a couple of days ago, and here is another chapter entertaining and revealing, but it's not enough!  ;)

Yes, I agree with your comment about the build-up to a relationship. :)

this was a fun chapter.  i liked drunk!snape, and hermione's reactions seemed very appropriate to her age.  looking forward to the next!

Ah, teenaged females. If they don't like a man who likes them, they still don't want him to like anyone else. If a man shows a little attention then they may develope a crush that never would have existed otherwise.~sigh~ I'm so glad those days are over. LOLCan't wait to see this whole mystery unravel. It seems this is the beginning of the SS/HG ship. I wonder what will finally pull them together - and pull them apart.

i Have enjoyed the story immensley, but am a little confused by the timeline.  Can you refresh my memory?  What was the date in chapter 1?  Thanx!  Please update soon -- as you can tell, I forget quickly!!

I can see the Prof. is already bitter about his attraction to another woman who is interested in someone else and therefore unattainable. Plus there is the whole teacher/student factor at the moment, etc. He is a man after all, not a rock, and at some point his true feelings, longings, whathaveyou would have to leak out. Hermione, I think, is finally seeing the man behind the teacher persona.

Decided to catch up and I'm so glad I did! Awesome chapter. I love that her memories are slowly coming back!

LOL the young girl fantasizes about her professor and wonders if it's normal - too sweet! I loved the slips of the tongue after Slughorn's party. Definately promising.

Great Chapter really enjoyed it. Hope to see more soon.

Enjoying the story and looking forward to the next up date.

I'm here with you until the end. This is one of my all time favorite fics. I was happy to see the update for my Friday night reading. I am also enjoying this portion of the story. Ta,

How did that happen, indeed!  I always have to chuckle at the internal dialogue of our beloved characters.  I thoroughly enjoyed drunk!Snape.  It's always kind of fun to see Severus uninhibited. I am enjoying seeing this part of their relationship too.  I do want to get to the part where Hermione realizes what a dunderhead she is and runs back to Severus.  But I will wait.  Everything was so dark and nasty before.  I'm enjoying this lighter side of the story, illustrating their getting together.

This is my favorite WIP. I am greatly looking forward to reading more about their relationship of the past!

Building up to the relationship is the most fun to read, but I can't wait to see what happens when Hermione's remembered everything and we get back into real time.  Bet it'll be interesting.Looking forward to the next chapter. =)
