excellent work on this so far - I am really enjoying your characterization and your wordsmithery is grand!!  Thanks for the hard work!

How sweet!  I love thinking of Hermione and Severus being able to talk to one another and discuss the things they both share an interest in. 

I'm sorry that this is the final chapter because I would truly love to see what happens in their shared future.

Oh my, the Professor has some self-forgiving of his own to accomplish, doesn't he?  This chapter was so lovely and sweet.  Perhaps Hermione and Seveus can help each other to come to terms with their own regrets and move on to a more hopeful future.

Nicely done.
Beth

Now that's the Professor Snape we all know and love!  I had to laugh at the totality of all the information he spouted.  LOL!
Beth

Ah ha.  So that's how Portrait!Snape came to be in Neville's quarters.  A very interesting twist to an already intriguing plot. 

I am still a bit curious about why Snape's portrait was banished to the work shed.  And I can't wait to see how Hermione and Snape get on.  Will his portrait come to reside in her quarters?

Very good chapter!

Beth

What's Portrait!Snape doing in Neville's chambers and not in the Headmaster's Office? 

Hermione has certainly experienced a shock, and I must find out what happens next!  Nice chapter, nice cliffie!
Beth

It's nice to read Ron as a mature man capable of great understanding and sacrifice.  Usually he is portrayed as an immature git, and this is a nice turn around.  I can't wait to see how this plays out! 
Beth

I like that, it is hopeful.

Sweet, if short, chapter.  I enjoyed the tentative friendship gesture.

He's a softie at heart, but don't tell anyone! :)

Really good read, am I to assume the placing of Severus' portrait plays an important part in the plot?  My mind is bringing wicked things to the fore at the moment ;o)

You have me completely entranced - do press on !!!  This is perhaps one of the best of the HG/SS renderings I've ever read - so very honest and believable..... 

How sad for Hermione, hopefully she will feel better in retrospect.  I was relieved when my divorce was final.

bloody funny!

Brilliant, bloody brilliant!  And good to know that he's ambidextrous!

Prefers women on top, yeah? That's handy to know.

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!His monologue of outrage definitely cheered me up!LOVE it!

That last line was hysterical. 

I am so thrilled to read a story where Ron is portrayed as a good guy instead of a jerk!  It's an "easy out" for a lot of stories, and I appreciate the authors who go the extra mile and manage to have Hermione and Severus come together while keeping true to Ron's good-hearted personality.  I can't wait to read more!

I laughed with Severus's description of himself - she has him churning does she not - Lol. Cannot wait to see what happens next.

Funny chapter, did the line "I collect spores, molds and fungi' come form Ghostbusters"?  That is almost exactly what Egon said!

Really clever about the portraits and how and why they were made! I like that aspect very much. And also pairing Snape and Neville together is great. I think this could be a really interesting story!!

Great chapter - like the explanation of Severus painting coming into being and dear lord trapped in a shed with the Carrows and Voldemort - that is torture.
Thank goodness Neville rescued him away.
Like it so far.

Locked in a shed with the Carrows and Voldie.. ewww!

I want to know too!  In Neville's bedroom, AND being funny, did the paint fumes get to him??
