Oh, the bomb! Now, we know it was Severus who sent the Grangers to Australia.

Oh my. Before I make any rash assumptions; Severus helps HErmione to hide her parents wont she? It would make sence and I refuse to belive that he would kill them or that Hermione would allow him to do so. Nope, he will help her hide them, thats how she managed the major task of giving them new identities and whisk them off to Australia (don't you dare prove me wrong:-))I loved that Severus found a way to meet Hermione though, and I love her reaction to meeting him. And, I absolutely love this story, it is fantastic!!!!

so so good!!!

oh nooh nooh no Hermione has her temper up! I wonder if she heard him saying "making love" soppy snape

Hermione has more guts than most people, I suppose from what I have read in this story she got it honestly from her mom.  It is impressive that a mere muggle would approach a wizzard in a defensive stance ready to protect her daughter.Well we know know that Severus (as in canon) is a good guy.  If her was true to the Dark Loard he would not be telling Hermione that he was there to kill her parents.I hope you are able to update soon.

Wheeeeww! Is it hot in here or is it just me?  Snape instructing Hermione through the sex is really quite naughty! )))))))))))))))picture me running quickly to the next chapter

That was a powerful chapter.  He really loves her. 

Ditto to everyone who applauded your nuanced treatment of Hermione's relationships with, well, everybody.  Nuanced is an excellent word for your writing.  You are killing me and making me love it.  Beg for more, even.  Brava!

New chapter! Finally! I've been watching the queue for days. Your story is literary crack. Seriously. :-) Very good chapter with nasty, wonderful cliffie. I love the SS/HG interaction and especially your voice for Snape. Very nice. Please send more?

Well my dear friend,                                                            *    *Like I've said before...A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!     \O/                                                               |  Can't wait for the next chapter....                / \

Oh goodness, what a great way to explain why her family shipped off to Australia. Genius!

OH! *stomps feet*That's a downright evil cliffie!*pouts*I was waiting for this chapter and now he'll help her or give her the method to help herself and... and.... *stomps feet some more*Why are you making me wait for this!!!??!!

ah!!! I was exppecting something completely than what this turned out to be!!! But still, you did a wonderful job.  A lot of things would be left unknown without this chapter.  :) Can't wait to read the next. 

Keep up the wonderful story telling!!

Talk about good news, bad news!

I guess I better start reviewing this here, because I can never wait for it to upload at Ashwinder.  ;-)  The leave-taking from Hogwarts was beautifully bittersweet.  I loved Hermione's thoughts on Lavendar and Parvati--much more nuanced than we get in canon--but then that's why you're writing this story.   I loved Hermione asking the Fat Lady her name and the response.  Hermione's parents were very believable, and you fooled me with how Severus communicated with Hermione.  I was expecting the ring, but I suppose he needed to be sure her response would be positive.  I had forgotten what Severus' disguise looked like, so I was expecting a DE smackdown there at the house.  And yea--he gets to help her with her parents.  Can't wait to see how they work this out.

They had asked after Harry, but Hermione thought that they were actually asking about her plans. She felt, for a moment, very known, very cherished. Her parents knew her well enough, it seemed, to realize that she would not be able to stand by and let this happen to those she loved. And this is why you are such an amazing writer.  That sentence just resonated with me so fiercely.  Isn't that what we all want from our parents anyway?  To be known, to be cherished?  For them not to be shocked when they find out that we have inner reserves of strength and courage that they never suspected (or took the time to notice)?  Brilliant, Lariope!Nice touches:  having her say goodbye to Lavender and Parvati (I always wondered what those Gryffindor girls would get up to in their dorms for the past 6 years!), asking Brunhilde's (!) name, the ghoul plan taking shape...I could go on and on.  I like Hermione's parents.  THANK YOU for not making them bland, cardboard cutouts of the "clueless yet concerned" Muggles that most HG/SS authors copy and paste into their fics.  I really like her mom!The reunion scene was perfection itself.  And so tense--I was almost sitting on eggshells while reading it. ;-)  Love that she kept her cool enough to remember his disguise and their code words...and to cast the shield on her parents.  I just love that girl!  And the way you wrap up every little detail, such as WHY the street was so quiet when they pulled up...you never leave us hanging!  Which, imo, is another mark of a great writer.  I'm truly in awe. 

You did a wonderful job with the next day emotions. I was so happy to read that he let her use magic to clean and the detention was not an attack. I hope someone on staff fancies Severus so Hermione can have her ring flash and feel the envy as well.

Well.

This is just fucking outstanding.

Her goodbyes at Hogwarts were beautiful and sad and stunning, but by the time I got to the end of the chapter I had to think hard to remember anything that came before. My oh my.

Outstanding.

OOOOOHHH! Evil cliffy! If my lunch break wasn't over two minutes ago I'd start ranting about leaving us hanging and stuff. I just hope for the sake of my sanity that the next chapter is up soon.This is one seriously cool fic!

They're entering a very difficult period but it's often the best way to test one's love.

A great chapter. I'd love to see Snape in a Citroen - the real Snape, though.

Hi! A thousand thanks four your marvellous fanfic! I´m really looking forward to read more of the story. I think it´s one of the more consistent I´ve read, and I like your writting style very very much. Sorry about the grammar mistakes but I can´t help them since English it´s not my first language! Keep writting, please!

I just re-read this chapter and my eyes are filled with tears.Very moving...I love how Hermione still has great affection for her best friends, despite the fact that they dislike the man she loves. So well done my friend!

Simply breathtaking!I loved the battle of the Felix Felicis taking place during their goodbye kiss. You're such a clever girl Lariope!

You know, I've never really thought about what Snape would conjure up in his mind to be able to cast the killing curse. So glad you brought it up...it was thought provoking!

I love this story!! :)

I just knew Hermione was too smart not to figure it out for herself. I just hope they can come up with some plan to keep her parents safe.
