Now thats better, you have redeemed yourself! :)

Just when things were starting to sort themselves out... what an evil author leaving a cliffie like that!

oops he thinks she is married to someone else, hasn't he looked in a mirror lately ?

Hurt/Comfort did indeed ensue, and then was followed by the happiest of endings.  Must go to bed now, but you've given me material for some very happy dreams.  Thank you!

One more opportunity for Severus to mistrust himself---you know him so well, but, thankfully, so does his mother.

And now he has learned enough to know that making himself vulnerable is the only way he can be truly committed.  Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

SO many wonderful details to rediscover!  I love the growing familiarity between them as they learn to become husband and wife (all the discussion of the binding a few chapters back was marvelous, as well, by the way). 

It's very, very late, must finish and go to bed, so I can dream of the deliciously happy parents!

I adore seeing the events of that night from a very different perspective.  The image of a paralyzed man able to focus only on her reflection---so lovely. 

Budge over.  I think I am going to cry and laugh along with them.  *sigh*

Ack!! Ebil cliffie!  Just as things were starting to be put right!!  (Very, very right, indeed!!)

Oh, you do write emotional misunderstandings most beautifully!  Must hurry on to witness how severly each can underestimate the depths of the other's feelings!!

Oh, oh, oh. 

First, this is Eileen as I want to believe she ended up---stronger and freer, waiting to take care of her son but otherwise getting on with her life.

And now....

*looks at the clock, realizes how late it is, ignores clock, rushes on*

I LOVE each of their reactions!  They are very much in character, all of them, and I adore the fact that both Harry's and Ron's are so nuanced and complex!

And Bill's realization, first that she actually married him and then of what the continued presence of the binding mark actually means, give me chills of anticipation all over again.  This is as exciting and moving and touching and marvelous and I remembered it being the first time I read it.  Yay!

Oh, I had forgotten (how could I?) how cleverly you worked this out!  So smart of Hermione to enlist Bill's presence, as otherwise one of her two best friends might very well have killed her just now.  This is utterly delicious!

Thanks to the Quiz for returning me here for another visit to this wonderful, wonderful tale!  And the delicious artwork, now in its proper place.  Should be going to bed, but I'll just revisit a little....  *sigh*  You really know how to get to me.

Very intriguing. My Latin dictionnary says that "ingravesco" means "to become pregnant". well, well, how interesting. Hermione and seveurs's child ? but why did they conceive it using magic? are they acting on dumbledore's order? are they obeing a prophecy? does Harry know what is going on?

anyway, keep writting, this is very good... but don't forget your other story featuring Draco and Luna! I've been waiting for an update.

I wonder what spell they performed at the cottage. The first chapter was interesting and hope for more to understand what is happening to them. The death scene is sad - will he be dead or will he be alive - so many questions - need more chapters. I cannot wait to follow your story and see where it leads.

What an exciting beginning to the story!  Looking forward to reading more.

Interesting start. Thank you.

What a suspicious beginning... I do wonder what that spell was meant to do, and what the pain on her spine was.

Good set up. I'm intrigued to find out what this ritual was all about. I look forward to the next update.

I hope that Severus is not actually dead. It would be a great pity if Hermione's love ended like this, with Severus still not being in love with her. I look forward to future updates.

Interesting story, I'm looking forward to the quick updates!

Terrific story! I really enjoyed Severus' mum - even as an adult, sometimes only a parent can set you straight. :)
