...and cue happy ending, exit reader stage left. Thanks for sharing your story with us! I really enjoyed it. 

I had this story in my favorites, but I don't remember it. ( given my memory, that's not saying much though lol). but I really love it so far. I'm a sucker for sad Snape stories, which you've got established now, and if you finish up with a fantastic happy ending, I'll be a happy girl! ;)

Oh no! That's all? I feel a bit bereft, to be honest. I absolutely loved it, but I'd really love an epilogue or sequel. Really brilliant. :) 

i come to pay hommage to you the author of this wonderful story. although i wouldn't mind if u could go another half chapter or so... you write with such dignity and perspicuity that i wonder what you will be like in real life.

this is the third time i've read this story. i love this chapter. i can't watch movies thrice or even twice, but i can read a GOOD book over and over again!

Such a moving story,I cried for Hermione.I love Severus but I find myself deeply irritated at his attitude towards Hermione.Glad he finally admitted his feelings for her.Great story telling,it is now on my favorite lists. By  the way is this WIP or is it finished?

This is so cute!

this was beautiful.

This story was a joy to read from start to finish.  The pacing was perfection and I thank you for sharing your creative talent with us!

This was an awesome hell of a chapter. I didn't see Ginny's ourburst coming at all. The scene was great.

This chapter was fabulous, but after reading through all the angst and turmoil, I have to be honest that I am disappointed that this bright ending isn't as developed as everything that came before.  I suppose that's a compliment, because I am invested enough in the story to want more.  As I was reading, I was rubbing my hands together and thinking, "now we get the cathartic payoff after all that struggle, humiliation, and yearning... but wait, thats it?  This only scratched the surface!"  Thanks for the excellent story, I'll be beck to read if you decide to develop it a bit further.

i love the end of this chapter.

i've read this before, but i wanted to tell you how much i'm enjoying it the second time!

cool and very awesome!!!!

It's intriquing how you let us see/realise the atrocities done to Severus trough Hermione's and Ginnys reception and reaction. Very wise from Ginny to point out to Hermione that curing his ailment won't be sufficient for making him well. I think that's a lesson difficult to learn for Hermione.

That's a really wonderful story so far. Quite atrocious, what you let Snape live trough, but so very believabe. There are so many stories where Snape survives the snakebite with not much more than a scar or some changing to his voice, and I simply don't find this very believable. Your take on the injury intrigues me as much as the whole scenario where you bring Hermione into the plot in a way that I enjoy. (I'm not a HGSS-shipper, so Hermione usually has a bit a difficult footing with me *g*).

I am, without a doubt, the worst kind of reader. I read and read and yet never seem to stop to pass on my admiration of the author's work. There are so many wonderful stories; I almost hate to stop reading just to write a quick note... Being Hermione Granger was perfect. I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Most times I feel the writer brings the two of them together far too soon - just not enough time to enjoy the dance, the friendship and learning that it takes to bring the fantasy to life. Once in a while, I feel, an author gets it just right. I dare say you got it perfect and it was exactly the kind of story that when you finish (if it were in book form) you close with the feeling of contentment, a warm glow, as you lovingly caress the cover. Thank you very much for the time you took to write it and, again, I am terribly sorry that I am such a poor reader. :)

Oh this story has me enchanted. Brilliantly done.

Can't wait to read more. I just wanted to stop here and let you know that your way with words is truly spectacular.

Love Sonia :)

I love how this ended with the breathless anticipation that I've had the whole story-- with the aching swoops and plunges. Someone else mentioned holding their breath the last two chapters, that's precisely how I've finished this. I can't help but want more, but I think you've given us exactly enough :)

thank you for writing!

WOW!  He comes around!  And quickly!

Is that really true about the rituals of ancient tribes of Britain?

Hah! I knew it was a dream!  I love it!

I burst out laughing so many times this chapter. I also, sincerely grimaced for Snape's sake, and was incredibly warmed by the unicorn scene. Well done indeed!

Such a lovely dance you wove with their conversation and body language in his quarters. 
Porfessor Sprout - I really, nearly expected her to blurt out what the lady's slipper meant!  Or Molly to comment.
very exotic chapter doll, I was almost holding my breath to the end -- and they didn't even kiss!
