Thank you and thanks for reading and reviewing :o)

Thank you, thank you sooooo much. I cannot tell you how much your review means to me. This was my first piece of fanfiction and I am deeply moved that you like it that much.....*does a happy dance*Sel.

Merci, I am glad you liked it :-)

Thank you :-)

I am glad you liked it. Thanks for reviewing, it really makes my day :-) Sel.

Merci :-) I am a hopeless romantic and therefore addicted to happily ever afters :-) The poem is a modification of the poem "What it is" from the Austrian poet Erich Fried. And what makes some of his works very fitting for HG/SS is the fact that he was a man who was deeply in love with a much younger woman, therefore his work often deals with problems related to this situation. I highly recommend his poems "Unplanned" and "Irresponsible" .... :-) Sel.

I know what you mean. I have a soft spot for Narcissa since HBP, because I love how she defies Voldemort and Bellatrix for the sake of Draco. Thanks for reviewing :-) Sel.

Thank you :-) Erich Fried is a wondeful poet, his work is always very soulful. Stuart Hood's translation of his poems into English is highly recommendable. Sel.

i made a note of that and will look for it. thanks.

*smiles from ear to ear*

You cannot imagine what reviews like yours do to me, thats a pure dose of endorphin, especially since I am not a native speaker and therefore really unsure how my writing skills work with the English language :-)

Thank you for your wonderful review, it is dearly cherished.

Sel.

*does a happy dance* Thank you for your wonderful feedback. I am already submitting a longer story here at TPP. It is called Quite Enchanting. Pure fluff, but it was something I desperately needed after DH. And therefore it is already completely written.

Sel.

I am a hopeless romantic, I can't help myself :-)

Good to hear you liked it.

Sel.

Thank you :-) I love the poem and somehow it struck me that it would be a perfect poem for the Potions master and than it was only a short while before the plot bunny bit me ;-))

Your feedback really makes my day :-)

*blushes* thank you.... This was my first piece of fanfiction after a long existence as lurker. Combined with the fact that I am not a native speaker it took me a lot of nerves and courage to post it at all, therefore I am overwhelmed that you liked it that much.

Oh, wow. I am ecstatic that you liked my writing so much.... I am working a few projects right now. So there will be more coming... I cannot tell how much your feedback means to me.

Danke :-) I am a German native speaker myself and therefore really fond of Erich Fried's works as well.

Er ist ein wunderbarer Dichter, die Kraft und Ausdrucksstärke seiner Worte hat mich immer berührt. Und als ich im Januar "Was es ist" ein weiteres Mal gelesen habe, hat mich der Gedanke total gepackt, dass es doch das perfekte Gedicht für Severus in Bezug auf Hermione wäre. Besonders die Zeilen "Es ist Unsinn sagt die Vernunft - Es ist lächerlich sagt der Stolz" haben mir es in diesem Zusammenhang sehr angetan :-))

Sel.

PS: Wunderbare Nickname-Wahl - sehr 'faustisch' ;-))

I have always seen the Potions master who has to deal with his inner conflicts - heart vs. mind, sense vs. reason. Therefore it fitted to me that he would place the poem on the back of photo to remind himself how foolish and hopeless his affection for Hermione is each time he gets lost in the gazing at her photo.

I am really glad you liked the one shot. It was my first piece of fanfiction and I chearish it dearly.

Sel.

Well, that's what happens when you answer reviews in the early morning - whole parts of the sentence are missing or simply crap ;-))

Therefore once again with a little bit more concentration - hopefully:
