Just an avid reader who somehow stumbled into HP fanfiction. I read and sometimes, I write.

Love it!!!! I hope you continue the story line just a bit longer..
I think this is the third time I've read this and I enjoy as much as the first time. I will always love Severus' way of shutting up Hermione with a passionate kiss.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you continue to enjoy it.
Very good, loved it...hate Viktor...can't stand him in a story..skipped that part LOL
But loved the HG/SS parts.
good job.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you! Viktor was just an aside, so you didn't miss much. LOLI'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks, again!
I can't believe she jumped out of a wnindow for him! That's going to keep him up wondering. And Ron IS an idiot.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
She did! LOL She certainly has him thinking. ;)Ron is indeed an idiot.
More to come soon! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! :D
Very exciting chapter!!I enjoyed the witty banter very much and the great characterization of your "cast"!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter, especially the banter and the characterization, as I work so hard on those. :D More to come very soon!
I'd trust Harry and Severus, but not Ron--he's abandoned them before. You're right, fairy floss is so very wizarding world.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
LOL That is true! Ron can certainly be an idiot, and Hermione is very patient with him.
I'm so glad you liked the fairy foss! It just seemed to make sense to me. :)
Thank you so much for reading! More to come very soon!
I really enjoyed watching all the things Severus thought about Hermione and seeing how their relationship is beginning to develop. Your story is well-crafted and just draws me right in.

Thank you very much! I'm so glad to have drawn you in to the story! More to come very soon. :)
I don't know why, but there is nothing sexier than helping a man tie his tie- I can't explain it, it's hot. I'm very curious as to what went down between these two!
Good story!

I totally agree! :) More to come very soon! Thank you so much!
Quite an intriguing start, Shug! I love the fact she really would jump out a window if he said so - and am already wondering what in heaven's name she will have done in six months' time to justify being so badly injured and to make him think she has betrayed him (with Ron? or Krum? or in some other way?). Because, of course, we know his suspicious nature all too well - you might think that he would be able to recognize what her trust in him means, but he so believes that the way he reacts to things is the way she will, as well. I am very much looking forward to his education in your capable hands.And it is a lovely touch to have Hermione resort to good old-fashioned copy-it-down-with-a-ballpoint when the magical Xerox doesn't work!
[Pardon my ignorance, but what is EWE? (Surely not a very large sheep....)]
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Hi, honey! Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.
You are quite an insightful reader. And that's all I can say. LOL ;)
More to come very soon. This story is already done, so I'm posting a chapter every other day or so.
EWE - Epilogue? What Epilogue? For when we choose to ignore JKR's version of how things end up. ;)
Thanks, again! *hugs you*
Just one of my many favorites during the exchange.
Oh Severus, why must you always dissect everything and always come to the worst of conclusions? Hermione has never been known for her duplicity. *sighs*
Great start to a wonderful story!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you so much, my dear! The answer to your question for Severus is certainly the basis for this entire story, isn't it? *hugs you*
Somehow, I think her imagined offense is a misunderstanding. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Where Severus is concerned, that is a good bet. ;) More to come very soon. Thank you!
This looks like a very interesting story. It was a great start.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! More to come very soon. :)
Interesting beginning. Very promising. I look forward to more.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! This is story is complete, and the next chapter will post on Thursday. :D
This is very intriguing so far. I look forward to finding out what happened between them in Bulgaria.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! More on Bulgaria very soon! The next chapter should be up on Thursday. :)
OI, what a great start.
I like how you have been so detailed as to what treatments he is using and why. It gives an impression of the severity of her injuries. Great job!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. The next chapter should post on Thursday. :)
This is such a skillfully written chapter. I am so drawn in! So much mystery, so much intrigue... I am definitely going to be following this story!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this first chapter. The story is complete, and I'll post the next chapter on Thursday. Thanks, again!
Intriguing beginning! I'm very curious to read more.
Very well written too!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapter. Chapter two will be up on Thursday. :)
Excellent piece of writing! Your character development is amazing. Their behavior is always believable because it fits perfectly with what we know of them, especially Severus in this case, since it's from his point of view. His actions were exactly what we would expect from JKR's Snape, but were validated because of your characterization. Thanks for sharing your work!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you so much for the lovely review! You have me squeeing! :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the story!
Argh! But that's not enough!! Any chance at epilogue? No? *pouts*
Oh heck, I love this story anyway. I really like the way the story starts right off where Hermione had been hurt and then the flashback. Lovely. Ooh, and the part where Severus had been virgin too! That was one hot sex scene. Even if Hermione was the one who lead... I think this is great, with Hermione being somewhat older and more experience when it come to relationship and had been the one who taught Severus that. She sound more mature and then the age difference is not so apparent. Added to the intense and mystery of the story, I only hope this could be longer...4 chapters is not nearly enough when you can write like this...
Anyway, good job! Looking forward for more from you. :)

! I'm so glad you enjoyed this short story. It was quite different from my normal "fluff" stories, and I had a lot of fun with it. :)

totally satisfying conclusion. dopey severus for running away - again! but i loved your scene of hermione ranting and not letting him get a word in edgewise. very funny, and sweet, resolution.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much for all of your lovely comments. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this short story! :)
your lead-up to the seduction, and how you handled that scene, was quite wonderful. and the breakup was one of the most heartbreaking scenes i've ever read. i am really glad that i am reading this now, when it is finished, because i don't have to wait to get to read the next chapter.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this chapter, even with the break-up. It was heart-wrenching to write, so it's nice to know that it translated well when being read. :)
stunning. what i liked best about this chapter was the way you depicted her trust in him, capping it off with the post-flying scene of them, showing his concern for her. i also like the "fairy floss" connection. it is not only the most magical term, but also kind of poetical. nice.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you! I really wanted to show just how much she trusted him, and how the relationship was progressing from professional to something more. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
this is such a beautifully written chapter, and such an intriguing beginning. the part where she apologizes for whatever she did to make him leave was so poignant. off i go to read some more!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! I'm glad you enjoyed the first chapter. :)
This was a wonderful ending to a wonderful story. I loved how Hermione had already forgiven him and was waiting for him at *home*. I don't think Severus, insecurities or no, will ever doubt Hermione again. You've given them a strong and loving relationship. =)
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Long Way Home)
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story, especially the ending. I agree -- he's learned his lesson, I think. :)
Loved this chapter - I am glad they got everything straight and the make-up scene was just perfect - great story and it was only 4 chapters - fantastic short story

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the conclusion! :)
