Wonderful chapter.

relief on many levels!  what an excellent story!  i think you have found a very real aspect of the characters and your plotting and pacing is first-rate.  thanks so much

I'm really enjoying this so far! Can't wait to find out what happens next...

Author's Response: you will find out soon - next chapter is being beta'd right now...

Excruciating cliffies! But thanks for the quick update, so glad Al is okay. *whew* Now I look forward to more!! I loved how Severus regrew Hermione's hair. One thing I just wanted to praise in general-- Marisol, I find it very interesting that you are playing with the idea that Hermione is *not* happy that she is in love with Severus. Its something that sshg shippers do not often consider-- he would be a very, very hard man to love in reality. So I find that very intriguing and very realistic. Though I of course hope for a happy ending. And Muggline, thank you for translating! You do a wonderful job; its as if this was written originally in english.

Ah, signs of Severus' returning humanity.  He's been numb for so long that he probably didn't recognize that he had the power to affect someone else in a positive way. I'm glad little Al will recover.  Although he pretty much had to-else there would be no child for Severus to be the Godfather of and the story would be over!Good chapter.

She does like drama....and cliff hangers.  Well, I guess we will all just have to wait

oh hooray al is fine, severus is relieved and even dare I think it? entertaining the idea of a possible romance with hermione? it was cute the way he "tolerated" james. its like he tries to dislike him outwardly but i think deep down he realizes that he may not be anything like his grandfather. just as Al will more than likely be significantly influenced by his godparents. on another thought im sure hagrid feels awful

Thank you for not having me wait too long. I just discover that with a gret deal of motivation, I can understand a bit of german. At least enought to understand that little Al' was in a better condition and that Severus explain to James where he could play in the garden. For the rest... I'm so glad you speak several languages. And the last sentance here leads me to believe that their relationship is about to change drastically. Am I close? :D

Wow!!  So many things happened in this chapter, and I loved everyone of them.  Albert Severus is going to be all right, James is no longer afraid of Severus, Severus has returned Hermione's hair to is full length, and he has taken her wrist to keep her from leaving Spinner's End.  I can't wait to find out what they say to each other.  I hope there will be, at least, a little hugging and kissing for my OTP.  This is a marvelous story.  Please tell Marisol how much I enjoy it, and please accept my gratitude for translating it for those of us who speak English!!!

Communication isn't one of his stronger points, is it?

Very touching! I love Snape's portrayal too.Bravo!!

OK- that's nearly as bad a cliff-hanger as last time! Marisol has no pity on us! This was a great chapter, and I am waiting desperately for the next one! Keep up the fantastic work!

Wow, so good!

What a great chapter. Ginny's hug and what she said to Sev was so touching and heartfelt it brought tears to my eyes as did many parts of this chapter. I hope Sev dosn't let Hermione go, and they make progress in the right direction. Please update soon

Ahh, that was a very sweet chapter.

I had such a long, tiring day at work--it was a treat to come home and see that the next chapter was posted!"Relief" is right! I was getting worried. I've loved all of the interactions between Severus and Hermione so far--it was really sweet that he fixed her hair. And what will happen next with them?Thanks again for translating this so that those of us who don't speak German can enjoy it. I hope that the author knows how much we all love the story!

I think im liking these turn of events hahaha!!! And bless him for her hair... Very clever too 'A draught of the Sleeping beauty' Update soon please!!!! x

I've been enjoyign the subtle movement of these two towards each others.

WOW. WOW. WOW.!!!!!!SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!I'm ridiculously happy with this turn of events! It's amazing and wonderful and glorious and YES YES YES!!!!=) You're amazing and this story is amazing and wow.So there.MM

Yay, Albus Severus is going to be okay.  And Severus took a step out of his bubble too.  It's more of a giant leap for him, isn't it?

Thank you for not making us suffer too long :-)  I'm glad to hear he'll be okay.  Can't wait to find out what happens with Severus and Hermione next.

what a relief! it was sweet that severus fixed hermione's hair for her and took care of little james. and the new cliffie is much less evil. :)

I am feeling much better now...of course you leave me with another evil cliffie, but this is a different sort and not altogether an unhappy one...Really looking forward to more!!

This is wonderful. In fact you've motivated me to dust off my German/English dictionary and see if any of my old skills still exist.

How fitting that he fixed her hair as she slept, with her not knowing. Wonderful!
