Oh, boy, does this mean Severus is free? 

i need more. i love tis story. i even had tears in my eyes at the end.Foofie

That was brilliant.  I really loved the way that Hermione stood up to that witch. 

Good chapter - I loved the way she stood up against the members at the hearing. I cannot wait to see what happens and if he does get released.

Go Hermione, Give'm Hell!  I hope that her words sunk in to those idiots!Well done as always!Irish

Oh, I do like Hermione in fight mode! And I imagine that having Shacklebolt on her side can't hurt (or the reminder to the Wizengamot that she fought in the Final Battle).I also liked the Weasleys (and Harry) showing their support. It matters a lot to her, I'd guess.

She would wait for Severus, but she would not have to wait alone.Love that line! Beautiful, Livvy!

So good to see hope win!

YOU GO GIRL!!!

What a great chapter!!! hermione sure knows how to put people in their place. good for her. I just loved it. Another up date as soon as you can.

Good for Hermione!  She took the bull by the horns there, and what a disgrace that the prosecution tried to put her on trial using whispered induendo and half truths.As you can see I am really getting into this story.

Another wonderful chapter. I love how the Weasleys support her!

I'm glad for that moment they had together and the hope Severus has.

Poor Theodore. So much for just punishment!At least they're now quite aware of each other's feelings. That should help them get through any upcoming tougher times.

Snape is in such a vulnerable place at the moment. Having someone care for him has woken his numb emotions again and made him want to live again.At the same time, hermione has also woken from a self-imposed emotional death. They are so good for each other.I can only hope Harry can pull some trick to get Severus released soon.

Another great chapter.  Thanks for updating so quickly.

omg omg that was just *sigh* so sweet. can i have one just like him. i wil do anything. please update soon. i can't wait for the next chap.

You know, Snape saying, "I love you," is OOC in many if not most fics.

But not this one.

So painful, so beautiful.

Well done, milady.

Such a poignant love scene! You handled that very sweetly, Livvy! 

Liked the latest chapter - things are better for the prisoners at the castle but at Azkaban - well no avail since Nott died. If the castle project is to end, where will the prisioners be sent -Azkaban? I hope not - I cannot wait to see how you get Severus out of this..

What a beautiful chapter.  So often lemons are handled with a lack of decorum, but you have managed this very gracefully and tactfully.  Often it is said the physical expression of love is the souls way of confirming that one lives on.  I think that for Severus and Hermione this is the case.  They have both suffered atrocities and yet they are able to confirm that their spirit lives on through expressing their love for each other.

Thank goodness Hermione stood firm on her convictions. At least Severus made it through the winter.I am so glad at least one of the Aurors was able to look past the "Snape is a bastard" thing and see his true self.

Good for Hermione. it is unfortunate that she is gaining her strenght and courage through the misfortune if these men, but at least they have a champion who is willing to fight for them when no one else will.

I could actuall feel tears in my eyes when Hemione had to cut Severus' hair, and again when you described the conditions the men are living in.It seems the wizarding world has gone from the terrible treatment of Muggle-borns to the terrible treatment of prisoners. At least Harry should be able to do something.

It now seems that a true and stronger Hermione is emerging from the ashes of her former life. I hope she can draw on that amazing courage she is displaying to rout out the corruption and give those men a better life.
