Beautifully written. This is a lovely tale. I look forward to reading more. Your descriptions paint a very vivid pictures. I especially enjoyed Hermione's reflection on the contrast between the Potion's Master, and his attire, contrasted with the sensual tapastry dividing his private lab from the rest of his personal living space. Talking about his personal space, you have created quite the store room for potion ingrediants. Such a place is usually described as a dark closet at best. Your store room sounds like the type of place I'd want to linger in. Snape's inability to tell Hermione directly that he needs a virgin to ask the unicorns to willingly donate a bit of their magical blood is kind of sweet. In general he is not the type to embarrass easily. Please update soon!

Lovely except for one thing PRONE ON HIS BACK???????The definition of prone is  lying flat, especially face downwards. The word you want is supine. Prone is face down; supine is face up.

Extremely good. Liking this more and more as it progresses. Thanks

This is going splendidly. Thank you for a lovely read.

Very good progression. Nice job on the self-awareness awakening.

Very good. Terrific characterisation. Nice job of introspection.

I love how you describe Snape. He is so formal, forbidding, and dead sexy! Can't wait forthe next chappie!Livvy

Intriguing! Will continue to watch this progress.

Hm, he may be surprised when he discovers she is the only eligible one. It will be interesting to see his reaction. Dumbledore should know better than to surprise someone working on a potion. Would have served him right if it blew up and damaged his painting!

I liked your story a lot, having to worry about his health and possibly life-threatening issues always was a nagging feeling in the back of your mind, but seeing the improvements as she helped him was nice to see. I especially liked the ending- but that was my question for you- is that where your story ends, or is there to be a final epilogue or chapter?

So Snape decides to get involved with Hermione's research after all. It was nice to watch that plot twist unfold -- I especially liked Hermione's mortification when Vector praised her project to Snape.

...And it's Ginny with the bulls-eye! Although she really shouldn't have unleashed it while Hermione had a knife in her hand. :) I like the way you write their friendship -- they get along without being soulmates (probably because they're so different).

Nice to see Hermione turning that impressive intellect inward -- she diagnosed herself pretty efficiently! The interaction with Snape at the end of the chapter was awkward but touching at the same time.

Depressed! Hermione is very sad to read, but you portray her very well. It will be interesting to see what jars her out of her fog.

Ginny is so wise.  I'm enjoying this trip though Hermione's mind and this period of maturation. 

I am throroughly enjoying your in-depth exploration into the characterizations and relationships of my favorite Potterverse folks.  I am especially pleased to read Hermione's journey as she struggles to figure out who she is.Very well done, and I cannot wait to read more.

Hmm... I like Ginny's warning at the end.  Very true: physical healing doesn't necessarily equal emotional health!

another wonderful chapter thank you but i think snape is up to something 

So sad, but brilliant! I am looking forward to their interactions. Please update SOON!Livvy

Ginny's reactions are perfect for Hermione. She needed someone who would listen, be supportive, but still be realistic. And I think everyone underestimates Ginny...

Ooh, very interesting chapter. Haven't read any of the others (that I can remember! LOL), but will definitely have to catch up on this fic!

I think Ginny's noticed something... Hermione will have a hard time explaining.

What a shock. I'm realizing that maybe I'm just like her. I've always tried to be the best at everything, to have the answers before everyone else and trying to get everyone's attention. To make people like me. You made me think a lot about what I really want. Thank you for the free analysis.

Uh-oh... Ginny is such a pitbull when something comes up that she isn't intimately involved in. Nosy...

Ginny is one switched on witch!
