It can't be the end!You have to write a part two.I'm glad Severus was finally able to tell Hermione everything,He may still have days where the memories are worse than others.But with Hermiones help(and lips!)he'll make it through.I loved this story and hope you write more.

I loved the story!  Although I do enjoy angst to a point, I enjoy it much more with a happy ending, so I will look upon this as a "beginning" to healing and good life.  :-)  Talented writers are far and few between (which is why I don't write) and I appreciate you sharing your stories with us.  Keep up the good work!  I look forward to anything else you have to offer. 

yet I do believe that the love of a good woman can make a hell of a difference in a man's life if he is open to that love.What a wonderful way to put it.  No easy/automatic answers, but hope and understanding and the courage to move forward. 

Brava Hermione. She took a risk, and it worked!

you go, girl!  It's nice to come across a Hermione who doesn't coddle and enable Severus.

You've definitely taken Severus in a different direction and created a Hermione who is able to handle him--well done, you!I loved how she put him in his place (in both the verbal and physical sense)!

Good for Hermione!Severus needed some one to take him down a peg.It's been a long time scence Severus has had anyone stand up to him and it did a world of good.But things should'nt start off to fast,Severus still needs alot of time to get over the past.By the way very good lemmons!I hope theres alot more in the fiture.

clever girl, she can read him like a book!

I hope Hermione can heal his broken heart!I fear if she can't do anything for Severus soon he will trellly be lost.

reviewing backwards from chapter 6. Awesome Chapter glad you kept it huge ;)Fav parts"you don't get it at all, and still don't get it?" and "more than lily"when Claudia found the letter sceneNOOOO you killed her (ok so you had to for cannon compliance) J.K. did say he was loved by someone but i don't think she had said who.Thanks

First fan fic that has made me cry and that's a good thing. reviewing backwards from chapter 6. That's how much I like your story... I like how you kept everyone in character and all the extra scenes I would have liked to have seen from the books.  Thanks

omg, I actually cried! brilliant because I usually don't cry at all (not at movie notebook, titanic, ect...)

I'm not entirely convinced by that mild and tame Lucius Malfoy, but I still enjoy the tale. I'm looking forward to Hermione's confrontation with Severus.

Gads! Even I had a flash back the way you described her! Poor Severus. All he needs is a good shagging!

if she wants him she's going to have to take charge, he is too busy running away from his emotions to sort himself out!

*guh* All I want to do is give our beloved Potions master a great big hug, whilst telling him its okay to grieve for a lost love, yet tell him also its okay to find love with someone else.
I love your Snape snarky yet also incredibly needy and wounded.

Wow. He just goes deeper and deeper into madness, doesn't he? I'm not sure I don't agree with him; he certainly doesn't act like he's capable of being a good match for Hermione.

But I have faith you can make me believe, Livvy!

So Lucius spilled the beans. Now, how will Hermione react to that? If anything it may make things worse.

Now that's the best sort of Lucius, reformed and out to make amends, hopefully he sorts the two of them out!

At least Hermione knows now some things Severus goes through.Maybe now he will talk to her.Hopefully he will listen to Lucis and start telling Hermione about his past.I want to thank you for this story,it is very well written and you can tell that you put alot of thought into it.

Why do I smell Hermione's come back in Severus's vicinity?

The sod. I hope Lucius can talk some sense into him. At least Hermione sees a bit of the picture now.

that man needs counselling, badly!

I felt so bad for Severus in this chapter.I hope you let Severus and Hermione be togeather.Byn the way loved the chapter it just made me sad.

Oh, wow what a wanker! He's so emotionally inept and so morally defeated that he's destroying not only her but himself.  And Minerva thnks this was a good idea? PUtting them together like this? I surely hope Hermione goes to Minerva to cry so that at least someone who knows can comfort her. Poor girl!
