Her question about consequences is, I think, part of her ongoing desire to know everything about the magical world, and to try to make conversation with this man who is standing there in front of her staring at her."Justifiable homicide" is what she is going to do to Ginny, who she thinks is responsible for trying to get her and Severus together at this wedding.Glad you enjoyed it--thanks for reading!

Thanks for explaining, I did think it was something like that,but for some reason, I wasn't sure.I'm one of those people who ship SS/HG but don't particularly like  it when other characters are bashed to get there.It's not even about liking the other characters, I just don't find it neccessary.....

I'm not heavily into bashing other characters, either (though I did make Ron a real villain in one piece).  Hope you don't feel I was being mean to Ginny (or Harry, for that matter) here--I think they were trying to help.  Glad to clear up the confusion!

Oh no, Ginny and Harry were great....It specifically fits in with how I view Harry, ultimately...That he grew up and learned from the past, rather thanbe haunted by it...The thing is I always thought Harrywas intelligent enough to figure things out on his own...As for his previous hostility towards Snape, that wasn't entirely his fault...He was being manipulated by both Dumbledore and Snape to some degree....Now in DH(the movie), there was a pretty large hint about Snape's loyalty...before he evn saw the memories...Which I'm not sure he undertood but it would explain his gentleness when he finds Severus dying..In the book, he doesn't have this hint and yet he isn't reveling in Snape's death at all.  At that point I think he had completely let go of his anger towards him..

Thank YOU!  Glad you enjoyed this!

Thank you so much!  It's always lovely to get a nice review--as I am sure you are finding out!  (and very addictive, as it makes you want to write more so you can hear back from your readers!)  Thanks for reviewing, it means a lot.

Aw, I'm blushin'!  Thanks so much for the sweet words!

Would you like to be?  I can arrange it (I know the writer!).  Seriously, if I can think of a completely unexpected answer, I'll write #3.And it'll give Ron a moment to shine, too.  Though he'll probably be drunk.Thanks for reviewing!

Hehehe... Daphne Greengrass. After all, if Astoria still marries Draco, then that makes Ron and Draco brother-in-laws.Can you imagine Ron and Draco as brothers, at family events, exchanging Christmas presents? Hahahaha!

Oh, dontcha think they had mandatory dancing lessons?  And dontcha think they both were earnest students unable to really let themselves go until just this moment?I like his admission, too.And I'm so glad I was able to fool you!!  That's one of the fun things about writing!Thank you for all your lovely reviews--they really do encourage me to write some more (calling all little plot bunnies!).

But of course there is!  Thank you so much for your lovely review--it makes me happy to see it!

Yes, Harry really is a good, brave friend, and I think he learned a lot about Severus once he saw his memories and understood what he had sacrificed.And I think Hermione's probably glad he got him to stay, too!Thank you so much for reviewing--it's lovely to hear from readers who take the time to respond!

Some things are scary, and some things are really scary!  Thanks for the sweet review!

And how nice to read a happy sigh from a happy reader!

Thank you so much--it was a lot of fun to write, too!

Oh, if he could actually whisper in my ear, I'm afraid I would be reduced to jelly and unable to type!But I have to confess, I am hearing a few little voices...and one of them seems to be Ron's.And he's drunk!

He's probably not totally drunk. He just thinks he is because he could have sworn he saw Hermione leaving with Severus Snape. Nah. THAT couldn't have happened. He didn't even invite Snape!

Thank you so much!--I am very happy you liked it!

If there's one thing the Epilogue did give us it was the assurance that Harry could finally appreciate Severus, even if only for his courage (though I think he'd come to see there was even more to it than that, thanks to those memories).  Thank you for reviewing--it means a lot coming from you!

Or even a bit of a kick in the pants.  Hurray for Harry!  And thank you for the sweet review!

Ah, but you see, Evil Writer planned on your being a bit slow, so you fell right into her evil trap, and that delights her no end!And, actually, it is Ron's wedding to someone unnamed.  Harry & Ginny being already married.  (Probably in a previous story.)And Hermione being therefore free to find the best wizard of all and learn what he's just found out.Thank you so much for reviewing!

*big girlie sigh* right back atcha!Thanks for reading and reviewing!!

And thank you for reviewing it!  I'm so very glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, he is, especially once he understands all the facts of the matter.  The best thing about that evil Epilogue was its opportunity to show us that he could learn and accept a very different truth than the one he thought he knew all those years.  And so it was fun to give him a chance to redeem himself where Severus is concerned.

Thank you so much - high praise, coming from you!  (I'm a big fan of your writing.)It's funny, but I actually had no idea Harry would turn up in this story.  He just walked in and took over, and that is why we love him.  He recognizes true courage, because he's got quite a bit of it himself.Thank you so much for reviewing!

It's easy in our ship for the trio to get shortchanged.  I'm certainly doing it in my own.  But you did a splendid job of bringing Harry into the middle and making it work!

You're so right.  Maybe the third part of this (if there is a third part) should be to give Ron a little more credit, too.  I'm not sure you've been as hard on the boys as some writers have--and it's not as though they have to be unbearable prats in order to make Severus look good by comparison.  (In my book, he does quite well all by himself!)

I've let Ron step up to the plate more often than most in our ship do, which takes away from Harry.  (I'm not sure why but I find many MLCs where Harry and Ron are totally supportive of her to be less interesting so I knew I wasn't going there!)

At the moment, I have no idea where another chapter might go, but then I didn't see this one coming at first, and y'all encouraged it out of me, so we shall see!Thanks for much for reviewing--it means a lot to me!

Thank you so much!!

I figured he'd look at it as clinically as possible and that they'd both need to be distracted before they were good at it.  (I know I do!)  Thank you so much for reviewing!

You've been managing to give him a bit of kindness and grace yourself, so this is especially wonderful to hear from you.I didn't even plan to put him in this, but he just walked right right in and took over.  And faced down the formidable Severus Snape, bless his heart!  It just felt right, and it's so amazing when that happens while you're writing.Thank you so much for reviewing--it means a lot to me!

So glad to start your day right!  And Harry thanks you--it seems to have been his idea to enter this story!  Thank you for your lovely review.
