Awesome chapter. I love your take on this side of the story.

I love this story so far and am eagerly awaiting updates!  I really like how you've done the pacing of this story.  It kind of reminds me of "Titanic", as we know what's coming, are almost eagerly awaiting it, but dreading it at the same time (and wondering how AU things will actually get).  With each chapter, things are becoming more heated, and I just can't wait to read more.  Oh, and can we have more pr0n, please?    The stuff in past chapters was some of the hottest I've read recently. 

I'm very much enjoying your story. 

Wow! what a great story. Looking forward to many updates.

My heart is beating wildly after this terrible scene. I was screeping to get out  and I'm so glad they're safe. *deep sigh of relief*. I think I'm getting too old for so much emotion.

Firstly, I loved the switching POV between Severus and Hermione. It was really very well done and added amaizing scope to this chapter.I also loved the way you described Hermione and Harry's reaction to Ron's dissapearance. Very poignant.The last scene when Snape was reliving that terrible day sixteen years before had me on the edge of my seat. Another absolutely fabulous chapter!

*deep breath* Wow that chapter was intense! I think I might have held my breath throughout the entire last two scenes! The imagery of Severus nearly losing Hermione in a way similar to how he'd lost Lily was breathtakingly painful. I especially loved the conversation between Severus and Voldy; Severus was flawless in hiding his true reactions and Voldy was delightfully oblivious. I only hope that Severus doesn't suffer too horribly with this punishment, considering there is no one waiting for him to come back, to take care of him. As always, I'm left wanting more and can't wait for the next chapter!

I wondered how long it would take for the passion to over-rule the common sense! I hope it does again soon!

OMG I love this fic. Can't wait for the next update. Keep up the awesomeness

Now, she is hiding her feelings to protect him. Poor dears!

So he plans to make her lonely so that he can mold her. Why do I see that backfiring?

Was there hidden meaning for her in there somewhere?

I was on the edge of my seat for the last part of this chapter.  Wow!  I am absolutely delighted and in awe of how you're rewriting canon from Severus' and Hermione's points of view.  *applause*

My heart is aching.

Man, I feel sorry for them all in this chapter. Well, Hermione less than Ron or Severus, but still.

I feel like a broken record with each review I leave for this story because they all essentially say the same thing -- this is incredible!!  I love the interactions between Harry & Hermione, his offering her the rest of the spaghetti because he's concerned about her health got me a bit choked up!  :)  And Snape-- having to endure christmas with the Malfoy's is just torture in and of itself, but with Voldemort there as well.  Yuck.  Hermione - smart girl contacting Severus to check about Godric's Hollow!  Its just too bad she didn't check earlier. And poor Severus -- i feel so badly for him - having to suffer the brunt of Voldemort's wrath at the loss of Potter.  His thoughts on sitting in front of the statue of Lily was very moving.  And I'm glad that he's mentioning a bit more (in his thoughts) that he has definite feelings for Hermione ... :) I'll be eagerly awaiting Thursday!!  :D

Sigh. I knew it. Naturally they'd have to go back to normal, but I enjoyed the tenderness while it lasted... Wonder what she will tell Ron and Harry...

This was an intensely gripping chapter.  The tender moments between Harry and Hermione were just lovely, and the suspense you built by switching from Severus' to Hermione's POVs was unbelievably good.   Reading this has been just like reading DH, but finding another dazzling facet that had previously gone unnoticed.  Brilliant.

Very clever way for them to go about it, and hot at the same time! Well done!

I enjoyed this chapter and the conversation she had with Albus.

Very very good!!  Ever thought of taking up writing on your own??  You are truely talented! I liked the insight in to what Severus is going through.  JK did not talk much about all that was going on behind the hunt.  I am enjoying this story so much more than the real last book! 

Thank you for another great chapter!  I am looking forward to the next.

Well done.  I would leave a more thoughtful review, but I just got back from a weekend camping with the boy scouts, and as soon as this washload gets done, I'm loading the dryer and heading off to bed.  Thanks as always for sharing another wonderful reshaped canon.

This is an absolutely fabulous story!  I've been reading non-stop up to this point, and just had to take a few moments to let you know how much I'm enjoying it.  I especially like the idea that Moody is "in the know" regarding Snape's activities and not frothing at the mouth to capture/kill him as he's normally portrayed.  Can't wait to see what happens next!

Excellent! I had a massive lump in my throat for the first section, with the loneliness and the graveyard scene was so touching! Keep up the good work!
