::shuddery sigh::  Oh, that was poignant and beautiful.  The twittering with Ginny in the last chapter was perfectly in character, as is this turn around here - such stark humanity and realism portrayed with such beauty.  Thank you for writing.

I've seen this story for awhile now but I haven't read it until tonight, and I'm glad I did! Very well-written. You have brilliantly captured the characters, I could easily see this happening in canon, had things gone a bit differently. Now I have another story to follow!

Oh my such pain and suffering poor Severus is in. I hope Hermoine can heal him. I had tears in my eyes as well. ((sniffle))

“And how thorough an exam are you required to give him?” I like how Ginny's mind works! I was thinking the exact same thing! I think this apprenticeship with vector is a going to work out. It will allow H&S to be peers, which will speed along the romance. Thats what my crystal ball says anyway

wow this was an intense chapter but it was goooooooodthank you

The progression through the exam from Hermione's fear of sexual tension to the obvious anguish that she felt when seeing his failing body was remarkable. You did a great job.

Wonderful story!  You are doing a fabulous job!

Very well done - your description was so moving! I really felt her anguish at seeing his suffering.

That is a heck of a challenge Hermione is taking on.  But I think it suits her.  I can't wait to see where this goes. 

Aww ... this was so moving; it made me cry.  Nicely written thus far.  Looking forward to more.

What an emotional episode -- the clinical setting plus the details of Snape's injuries added up to something nervewracking and terribly sad. Very sensitively done, especially with regards to Hermione's shifting emotions and reactions.

You can just imagine how Hermione is feeling, that inexplicable attraction and feeling of excitement when she sees him, very well written!

I'm loving the slow build-up of their relationship here. Great fun! Drama to come with Ron and Lav-Lav?! :-D

I think Hermione' wrong: she can't work with Snape and pretend she feels nothing. I would say on the contrary, they will grow for my greatest pleasure.

Poor Draco committed suicide did he? Well that ends that sub plot! Poor Hermione she is all over the place, she is sad, she is overeating, she is depressed, she is stuck in a rut, she is immobilized by her emotions. Whats the girl to do?

i see snape is his usual lovablbe selflolpoor hermione maybe a visit from viktor would cheer her up and piss off a certain potions matser? just what i was thinkingbut i like the beginning of thsi and ron going to go sleep with lav lav is exactly waht i see him doing

nice helping of angst to go with my cuppa, I like it!

Love it. Your writing is fantastic. I enjoy reading every sentence.

I like how you have picked up at the end of DH (ignoring the evil that is The Epilogue) and shown the trauma that remains after such a painful war.

I love this story!!!

An exciting and intriguing start! Thank you.

Intriguing start.  Look forward to reading more

I'm sure she willprove him wrong.

Oh that was really harsh of Severus - well, exactly what I'd expect of him, but Poor Hermione!! I hope she goes out and proves him wrong!!

therein lies the difference between the science and the art of potions making/ medicine/ any other field.
