Great story. Thank you.

A lovely read, thank you.

This story was wonderful! Have you thought of doing a sequel? This story would be perfect for one... hint, hint, hint.
;-)

i sooooo love this story ive already read it 5 times.

Great story so far.I can't wait to see how this plays out.Hermione is one lucky girl...

I just found this and read it in one sitting. I love the way it progressed and flowed. Their relationship blossomed in a very realistic manner, I think. He didn't realize just how much he needed her until she forced her way in. Typical Snape.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

A lovely ending :) I quite like the idea of them causing a scandal.

excellent!

Oh goody, more chapters to read!  I haven't checked on this story in a long time.  This is mainly because it took me YEARS to figure out the update bookmark staring me in the face.  ROFL.  Anyway, I love the story.

Great ending.  Just enough to tell the story.  :)

I quite understand how Snape feels. Many of my favorite things growing up were disposed of when it was felt I had outgrown them. As disturbing as it might seem to watch them being destroyed, mine just disappeared. I never got to say goodbye to them... thrown away while I was at school. "baby toys", my father called them. It was quite devastating to me since I formed stronger attachments to objects than to people.

'...please leave an offering in the little box...'?  As you wish, bird-hatted old man.  That was a truly touching story.  It was sweet and rather innocent with a perfect ending.  Well done. (Or, if you prefer: That'll do, pig.)

I'm glad he was willing to do as she asked.  A nice ending and a hopeful beginning.

I'm kind of sorry to see this come to an end... it is a lovely story. thanks!

Brava!  I have loved this fic from the beginning, and what a beautiful ending!

The ending was great but too quick.  Would have liked to have visited the five months more.  Seen the reactions of their friends as they snogged in the great hall.  LOL  Hate to see such a great story come to an end.  I really enjoyed it really so much.  Excellent job.  :)

LOL Oh yes, it's sunrise! Oh boy the reaction -sscandalizing everyone when they realize what's going on. teehehehe

You painted a 5 month wait quite well.

Very nice story, I've enjoyed it.

thank you thank you for the final post!  I do like this story very much :)  and I like the idea that they want to go out and shock everyone.  hee. 

Congratulations on finishing this. 

Thank you for sharing your imagination with us. 

I'm quite glad that I didn't start this until it was complete.  Great, great story, as always.  Thanks for sharing it.

I just re-read this, and enjoyed it the second time as much as the first! I like your writing.
And thank you thank you thank you for creating a Hermione who does not have a perfect body. It's quite refreshing after reading so much about a super skinny, perfect Hermione.

Only thing that bothers me a bit are Hogwarts' rules; would it really be so lenient about student-teacher relationships?

Thanks again for the great read.

I read up on Sejanus on wikipedia, didn't see anything particularly nasty (well, nastier than normal for a Roman of his time and station). Of course, wikipedia isn't always thorough....what did Sejanus do?

Poor Aquilia. Will the silencing spell on her painting ever be removed? A very poignant interlude, with Hermione beginning to understand Severus better.

The complete departure from canon is not a typical one. There's good, logical background, and it seems to fit with what we know of Severus (pre-HBP and DH). Congratulations on a fabulous interpretation of Severus' background :)

Mmmmm, David Bowie.....

how sweet - he brought her to meet his mother!  I'm so glad Hermione understood that, and "talked" with the painting.  I just wish Mrs Granger had given Severus some happier movies along with Schindler's List and Life Is Beautiful, both heart-rendering WW2 movies, although I think Mrs Granger was trying to encourage Severus in his spy work - that one man can make a difference.  thanks for the new chapter!

I say this nearly every time I review, but I love your fics! You have both of their characters down pat. I know, even before I start reading one of them that I'm going to enjoy it if you're the author.
I can understand how hard it would be for Severus to see his mother like that, even silenced as she is. She seems to be all goodness and light, trully happy, and (excepting her concern for her son) carefree. While what Severus remembers of her is a broken witch who died much too young, and left him alone with his abominable father in a house that seems almost Dementor-like in its ability to suck the light and joy out of a person.
I enjoyed his mother, and (regardless of the reason for it) thought her charades were really cute.
Looking forward to the next!
