You keep on explaining things from canon that make me go, "She's right! That didn't make sense! And now it does!" You've turned Arthur's involvement into a very touching explanation of a knowing father and a protective husband, and you've managed to make Moody much more sympathetic than he is just about anywhere else (and a good deal smarter and braver).Leaving the marriage registration intact could well turn out to be a mistake, but I don't blame her for being reluctant to destroy it. After all, if something happens to her, that eliminates the initial reason she agreed to the marriage in the first place. And now there is so much more at stake.And by the way, your attention to detail continues to amaze me (at least, I assume that the bit about Fletcher, the thief who gets addressed in Muggle bars by the nickname "Mundy" is a purposeful little reference to Alexander Mundy from "It Takes A Thief,"...but then maybe it's just one of those lovely coincidences).Another bang-up chapter, filling in the gaps with your usual magnificent skill!

Good writing style and good way of weaving your thoughts into it and behind the scenes scene with it HBP compatiable... I loved what you have written - very interesting.

Arthur seemed to be pretty level headed about the kids not returning to school, convenient for them, tho.  :)Lovely chapter, the story is moving along quite nicely! 

oh wow, what a story! Sev is so well crafted

This is the way that awful, last hp book should have turned out!

When I read DH, I cried  for Hermione and her parents and here I am crying again. This chapter was so profoundly sad for me. I love love LOVE your story and I look forward to and dread the updates. The dread comes from the anticipation of what may happen...not your writing!

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!  You are creating the story that I was hoping that book seven was going to be!!  Can not wait for the next chapter!  And yet again I want to tell you how terrific this is going so far!!

Wow, this was really something. I'm glad Hermione understands why Severus had to do this. I think Hermione will make sure Severus lives, that way she can have a real marriage to him. I'm glad he told her where he lives, that way she can go there.

That's a beautiful, sad, emotional and breathtaking chapter!! They care so much about each other!Always your faithful reader.........

I am so impressed with how you are weaving canon into this story and making it your own at the same time.  And the note he left her with at the end - gah, this story is so wonderful.

I've only recently become a Snape/Hermione fan, and your story is so brilliant!!  The best I haver read so far!!  The dialogue and the twists and turns you are taking are so exciting I can hardly wait for the next chapter!!  This is the first review I have ever done for a story because I just had to tell you!!

Another wonderfully intense chapter.  As always, I look forward to reading more!!

I am increasingly impressed with your story!  Snape assisting Hermione w/ her parents relocation is genius!  ;)  Though personally, I wouldn't have minded a longer kiss for the two ... ;) I am eagerly anticpating the next chapters!!! 

I absolutely love how this story is so smoothly taking the seventh book into account and not destroying anything from the actual book but just going with the storyline. I wonder whether Hermione will ever go to Spinner's End?Looking forward to your next chapter!Kisses

Superb manipulation, in both story line and dialogue

This was a truly heartbreaking chapter. I could feel Hermione's emotional stress at the thought of her parents leaving without any memories of her, and her childhood home being completely destroyed. And yet she still is able to see it done and carry on, for the sake of her best friend and her husband.

Oh how sad - to take away her parents memory of her - can anything so complete ever truly be undone? I cannot wait to read the next chapter.

This gives a good explanation as to why Hermione's parents were Obliviated. I know that Hermione is probably intelligent to think of this on her own, but I don't know if she could get her parents to agree to the plan or the guts to do so behind their backs. Hopefully Hermione won't have to go to Spinner's End, but I'm glad that Severus gave her the possibility. He did destroy her home.

I love this rewrite of HBP and DH.  Love it, love it, loveit, I tell you!

The ending of this chapter, for some reason, made me do  a mental 'aw'.  :)  Perfectly lovely. 

You made me cry!  But don't apologize--a good story should make one cry.  In my opinion, anyway!I'm not going to go on and on right now (I do that enough!) but let me just say that, a while back, I swore to never start a WIP again.  (duh)  And as super lightening fast as you get these chapters up (and write them ahead of time, to have a "couple in your pocket," as you said) it's still not fast enough for me!  Which is amazing...I mean, if this was a printed and bound book, I would stay up all night long to finish it!  But patience is a virtue my character is sorely in need of, so this is not necessarily a bad thing that I have to wait a few days between chapters! ;-)Oh yeah, one more thing: I clicked on your lj (link in your profile) and noticed you were inspired by "Falling Slowly" from the movie "Once"...and I nearly gasped out loud, because I have that whole album on my iTunes (LOVE it) and honestly, I was actually listening to that very song during one of the early chapters of this fic....and I remember thinking, "Wow, how appropriate."  Especially the line: "You have suffered enough, and warred with yourself, it's time that you won." I remember thinking how that just fit Snape's character so perfectly!  Sigh...anyway, there you go!I'm such a liar.  Everytime I say I won't go on and on, I do.  I think I have a condition.

This was an amazing chapter. This is how DH should have been written. Instead of reading boring chapters about hiding in the woods, something emotional and real as saving what was important to Hermione while having Severus use a Memory Charm on her parents is what should have filled the pages.Thank goodness you update so quickly or I'd have gone insane by now. beautifully written. I cannot wait for more.

Oh wow! What a heart wrenching chapter! I just don't know what to say that would express just how much your writing amazes me. I am so excited to see where this story will go, how it will end, but at the same time I'm hoping that it will never end! (An irrational hope, I know!) It's so hard to believe that all Hermione salvaged was the box of Christmas decorations. I simply can't imagine all of the things, the pictures and all that together made that house a home being gone. It's devastating, really, but Hermione's a strong girl, I know she'll get through it. And, at least she still has the pictures she had with her at Hogwarts. Anyway, I absolutely cannot wait for more!

This chapter was heart wrenching.  It was interesting to see the memory charm was accomplished.  I look forward to the next chapter.

And so the war really begins.....sad, but Severus is correct the parents need to be out of the way.

One of the frustrating things about DH -- so many incredibly dramatic things were happening that some of them could only be mentioned in passing, like the Obliviating of Hermione's parents. It's so incredible to read a version of how it might have happened in all that emotional detail, and the relationship between Severus and Hermione kicks into a higher gear, too. "Great chapter" seems kind of anticlimatic, but what else to say??
