Interesting premise, good start and intriguing... Gads that house should be condemed, though! 

interesting cycle of their relationship.  thanks so much for the lovely update.

Awwww that was so sweet. Now Severus and Hermione have yet another thing in common.

So glad you're still posting this... It's time they moved on a little now, though... a little light snogging would be nice, but I can be patient!

I am reading this elsewhere, but I want to say, I love this story!

Wonderful, as always.A connection on some mysterious level, indeed!Hope everyone has completely recovered from your sicknesses and can get back to writing and proofing! It would be torture to wait this long between chapters every time.

I do hope this new connection, brings them closer together- hopefully romance. But nothing is ever that simple is it. Look forward to more.

Oh Gosh, this Snape is a tough nut to crack! Perhaps with this new  connection they can begin again with romance. I'm sorry-I am itching for these two to get together for real!Livvy

I just don't get him.  Well, I do, but I don't.  At least Hermione is moving on.  Her interactions with the baby were quite sweet.

This is very sweet:) As a mom but not a Godmother, I still know how she feels.Warm regards,Fizzabella

Thank you for a great chapter.waiting for more.

Hmmm do I think the Godfather is finally starting to see the light in the "Godmother"

Welcome Lily Luna!! How lovely that Hermione would be so close to her. I know you're winding the tension for plot reasons, though I wish they'd get over themselves and get together. LOL I reckon that means you've done your job then. =]

Ahhh, can't wait for more! It looks like they are beginning to overcome the chasm between them. But they still have a long way to go. Excellent, excellent job, ladies!!

I find it fairly significant that when Severus wanted to prepare his last will and testament, he sought out Hemione... someone he felt he could trust implicitly.  Oooooh!  Little Lily has arrived, and when Hermione asked Severus if he wanted to hold her, at least he didn't say "No."   Instead he said, "Maybe later."  With Severus Snape that is as close to "I really want too."

This is twice he has flirted with Hermione a little.  Once when they ran into each other at Hogwarts:  The corners of his mouth twitched while he let go of her hand. "Potions is not a subject for dunderheads!" he answered with a shrug.  And the second time here at St Mungo's:  "So... Godmother."It seems as if Severus is slowly – ever so slowly – coming to feel safe with her.  And this can only be a good thing!!!Beth

This is a very lovely story!  I have it in favorites and look forward to each update!Live long and prosper,

~plays Alison Krauss' Baby Mine~ tadaa!

Oh, how nice to see Severus and Hermione bonding over shared godparenthood, not to mention finding ways to behave in a civilized fashion to one another.

These last few chapters made me tear up. I can't wait for the next update. Wonderful translation. Please extend my compliments to Marisol.

good chapter.i like that she is taking this slowly.it will be interestin on how the story progresses from here.

that last scene was magnificently written.   i think you tied up his character perfectly.  thanks so much for the wonderful update.

Lovely chapter.  Very poignant.

When Severus began to speak about losing his way and himself, I felt my heart break for him.  He was so badly used by everyone beginning in his childhood."... if you keep walking other people's roads, you inevitably lose your own way, your own self."Terribly sad.But Hermione has no such designs on him. "But I don't expect anything from you, Severus," she said gently, and realized with astonishment that she really felt it was the truth. "I don't expect anything, and I don't want anything. On the contrary, I am offering you my friendship. You don't have to take it if you don't want to. It's up to you." With these words, she extended her hand towards him. "Sometimes," she whispered, "a friend can help you to find the way that you've lost." This gives me hope that Severus will be able to, at least, begin to heal, and who knows?  Maybe find a place in the world where he can live free in spirit and in his heart... maybe he will even find love.  Wonderful chapter!Beth

What a perfect way to "reunite" the two. Severus admitted his weakness and Hermione made it a strength. Brilliant.

Oh, man, doesn't your heart just break for him?  What does the poor guy have left?  I hope he accepts Hermione and her friendship.  She's so right, sometimes a friend can help you find what you've lost.
