How totally adolescent is Hermione, Thinking everyone spin arround he watching and thinking of her. I like that. Maybe the contact with the unicorn will change that.

I am proud of Ginny for being such a good friend to Hermione here.

Now I am curious to find out about these ancient magical cultures that have been mentioned. Hmmm? I wonder if Severus knows about them given his reaction to Hermione's statement. I love this story and the emotional depth you have written for our beloved pairing. I look forward to your next update.

Amazing description of her experience with the unicorn! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for yet another great chapter.

That was a beautiful chapter, actually.  But I don't see how there is going to be any romance if she looks like an acne-scarred teenager.  I was going to go on a diatribe about you using weight gain as an issue, but I won't. 

Wow! I was very moved by this chapter... The description of the unicorn was perfect! I'm almost sure that you captured what it could feel like had they truly existed! Please please update soon! I'm curious as to whether Severus will give her a gift or not... Update soon!

This is a truly beatuiful chapter and the imiagery was so well done, it was like being there. The interaction between Severus and Hermione is def warming up, although I'd love to know what he is thinking. You are writing him very well, and I really like how you deplict Hermione. Too cool.

This was so... lovely.  I am eager to see what happens next between them, and to know what he was thinking.

A great chapter!!!! Looking forward to more already!!!gab

Just lovely. There are no words that are not overused to tell you how much I like the way this is progressing. Thank you must suffice for now.One thing, at the start of the chapter, you have her answering yes to his question about being incapable of following directions. Shouldn't she answer no; that she is capable?

How beautiful...

Hermione being worried that vastly *snerk* more sexually experienced man may think ill o fher because she isn't experienced - ha! It was so obvious that he was in the library with her - but didn't want to actually want to talk to her. I love the details you put in your story - makes it really rich and deep.

Oh this is really good. I especially liked the private potions lab and storeroom. At least Sev isn't as ascerbic toward her anymore - he seems to be lightening up some. Thant's a good sign.

I am really enjoying this. Please post more soon! Do you have any more archived elsewhere?

This story is amazing, please keep up the wonderful writing and emotion in it!  It's quite gripping, I can't wait for the next chapter...

I'm very much enjoying this story, though it pains me to think of Snape in such chronic pain and having suffered such horrible abuse. But a very endearing story to have Hermione so caught up in his potential relief from pain. Look forward to more!

great viewing her inner mind's workings!

Great story! I really enjoy how deep you're digging into Hermione's character. You've done a wonderful job of revealing so much about her and her perspectives while still maintaining her 'Hermione-ness' (for lack of a better word).

I'm looking forward to reading more!

LOL... she was so caught up in Snape's opinion that she forgot Vector would need the papers as well. That just blows the maturity aspect out the door.

I currently am following almost two dozen WIPs, so when I saw that this one was updated, it took me a moment to recall which one this is.  When I rememberd it, I was thrilled to start reading again.  I shall eagerly await the next installment of this wonderful story.

Hermione really is working on this new life.  Ron is so blind, though, and Lavender, well, she knows what she did and is trying to make it better, I believe, but still. 

I was horrified to read all those horrible things done to Snape. Then I just realized it's just a story. But for a moment, it was as if I were reading some newspaper relating someone's true life. Very impressive.

I just picked up this story and I am glad I did.  Wow, have you chosen to write about some very heavy emotional matters.  You have done a great job and I look forward to reading more.  However I do not envy the amount of emotional development you will have to put into Hermione and Severus, this is some pretty angsty stuff but from what I've seen so far you're up to it.

I think it's good to see Hermione so determined to help Severus. I think the two of them could wind up helping each other with their pains. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.
