You and Souther RULE THE WORLD!!

okay, so yeah, i spent most of my veteran's day holiday reading your story. geez, you sure put them (and us!) through the ringer before giving us (and them!) that happy happy ending. you kept up a very suspenseful, roller coaster-y narrative for the duration. i liked the back story you created for snape with another lost love, and his sweet little son, who was quite an appealing character, especially considering that he wasn't really even in the story very much. thanks for another fun romantic adventure!

well, i finally resumed this story - i think i started the first chapter and never bookmarked it or something, and now i know you wrote it and i remember how much i liked your story in the last challenge, so here i am. *pauses to breathe* holy cannoli! very intense so far. i love how you got them together. and she's getting under his skin! hooray! i'm looking forward to seeing what happens when she gets back afer her break. *runs off to read next and find out*

It ends with such a sad note. Hope things will get better for her.

"Whet your apatite"?  Surely the worst geological pun I've heard in a long time, and more painful b/c I think it was probably unintentional.  Otherwise, I'm liking the story well enough to continue reading it.  It's a fun little romp thus far.  Very good diversion material.

This was a wonderful story from start to finish I truly loved it! Thank you for sharing it!

what a different view of ron I get here.He is not the arse after all. kind of you.but you said before that you like him. Now I see that there is a point in it.finally she comes round to meet her fate, or was it fate knocking on the door *g*? and then he would welcome her like that. nasty git.

how nice to see something of Nevill along the way.and roses and tulips, aha, will keep that in mind.always willing to learn something new.so he is finally in the mood to declare some love.so move over! I want to see him heal some deep scars on her heart without the use of a wand or a potion.

"okay, I'll go to the barrister with you"that was obviously the last thing he expected to hear. but I find it tough from her.she is right to keep him at some distance.shall he fight for her. She is no easy girl.And she knows how much she can bear or not bear.

ah well, this is a speech for once.finally he opens up a little. has he found his way to her?hopefully so.a little talking was necessary.a nice picture of him waiting till she will awake.This was necessary long ago. now she will have it.he sounds so very much more reasonable than before.I start to like him for the first time.

"There is never a second chance for a first impression"but something lets me hope, that there is a chance for this crazy couple here.Letting her have the bookshop was a wonderful idea! Interesting, that Harry should know about Snape being alive all the time.And his chivalric way of trying to find out about Hermiones lover and giving him his piece of mind, how utterly sweet. good to know, that Hermione has some very good friends around.

a child .what in the world did ginny give her !!nothing to relie on, not even in the magic world.my, how irrational this man behaves. no word of happieness. only rights and wishes and demands and bad bad bad words.he be damned.that is not the way to behave.

ha, that serves  him well.at least she had for once what she desperately needed.the man to look at her, and her alone and kiss her. at least he was able to do that  properly now.and now she is gone.yes. that was a good move.

there is no man in the world who can hide his feelings better and create such miserable feelings, hatred and loathing all in a few days.how bad she must feel now, the poor girl. she is spared nothing.but does she really love him, or is it only the being treated so badly that makes her break down?

So very lovely!

I've been so caught up with other fandoms that I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed HG/SS

Oh, I just love happy endings!Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

What is it with you darn authors and your evil cliffies?(

Yes, Severus acted like a jerk, and yes, Hermione is right not to rush her forgiveness, but I'm just so damn anxious for a happy ending!

This story just gets better and better.

Oh, man ... that was intense.I sure hope they can work things out now that he's show he's willing to open up some.

At least they're going to talk to each rationally for a change. At least I hope so.Love this story.

Well, that certainly complicates things, doesn't it? I want to shake the both of them until their teeth rattle -- or until they start to LISTEN to each other!

He's really put his foot in it now, hasn't he? The blithering idiot!

What a nice, feel-good story!  Well, not the italian scenes...Severus may have been nervous about getting involved, but deserved to be horsewhipped for his crappy behavior.  However, he came to his senses & it was lovely.  Thank you for writing this :D

He is an idiot.There are a lot of idiots in this chapter. And for once, I don't mean Ron, who needs his nosy, meddling mother's needling, and his gossip loving wife's nagging to get him to confront Hermione on her personal life, even though she didn't confront him on his, even though it did concern her, seeing as they were still married.I don't think Severus deserves her, its too much pain, I think. Your the author and you know your characters, but damn, that's too much. Much too much for a woman to stand, after all the hardships.And his words and actions seem unforgivable as far as I am concerned.I must say, very original, and well-written. And once I started reading it, I just couldn't stop... but because I knew the Epilogue was next, I figured I should put my 2 cents in, since they won't amount to anything. lol.The Epilogue is only a chapter away... so, I'll let you know how I feel in a bit.Good Luck, all the best,Elaine
