Oh my, something is going on here, their magic is all out of whack. It's so sad that none of the others would even consider Hermione's theories, maybe they wouldn't have suffered for so many years.

“There is no ugliness in you that would ever make me go. None.”*sigh* this line just made my little heart go pitty pat.  I hope he's right. This reaction to the horcruxes, sounds very dark and incidious. I hope they can combine forces and overcome it an help the others as well. Poor Hermione, it sounds like she been barely getting by. Sounds a lot like PTS.

They've both been through hell but perhaps by working together and helping each other there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Aha, it's coming back to me now. The Horcrux exposure. And who was exposed more than Severus, who, like Arthur was bitten by one. And of course let's not forget all that time the trio carried around the locket, and the the cup before the destroyed them. Oh my this is not a good thing. Will they find a cure? I hope so. Must hurry on to next chapter.

Lovely balance of dark and light, internal and external influences, and love and hate.  Kudos to you and your team! :D

Just so you know my pervy little mind wondered if it was going to be a SS/HG/NL threesome to rid the shadow! LOL! I like how seeing the Hogwarts ground took SS by surprise. Its good of him to not micro manage every encounter. SS and NL joking is priceless. More pleaseOh and the gardening terms make my green leafy heart beat faster! Go garden motifs!

A fascinating, captivating, mysterious start, filled with aching longing (on both their parts).  So evocative and mournful, I am really looking forward to seeing where you take us.  I know the journey will be moving and wonderful. 

Thank you for this beautiful tale of love and renewal.  The symbolism of the lack of balance between the light and the dark is a perfect metaphor for the journeys of the heart that all of us must make from time to time.  When the darkness overwhelms us, we must get through that desert of sadness and anger in order to find the healing and peace on the other side.  We must surrender to the feelings, feel the sadness, for only then can we be rid of our desolate outlook and move into concord with the world once again.This story has been a joy to follow, and I'm so grateful that you wrote it and shared it with us.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Hugs you,Beth

Even though they were fearful as they made their way through the tunnel, they didn't give up and didn't give in to their nameless fears.  The forest glade they found themselves in was a picture of healing and tranquility.  I hope Severus could feel that, too.These sentient wand-wood trees seem to have a calming effect, and I loved that Neville was the one to first realize what was possible here.  His communication with the cherry tree gave him so much peace that he was able to relax into the welcoming arms of his tree and truly rest for the first time in ages.Such a lovely chapter.  I'm off to see what happens.Beth

I get goose bumps when I ponder the spread of cards. The reality infused on these fictional characters and our love of them. Shivers I tell you. Really what will they tell Neville? So we did some divination and we think it will all come up roses? Fuzzy answers from 2 known for their logic. LOL! What a meeting that will be.

I hate to be overly pratical but what about birth control? I would assume that she cannot conceive because to create life there can be no darkness. Right? That and she is obviously unhealthy which won't help either. I am so glad that the heather card came up for the present. I didnt want their night together to be a one off. I don't know that they can heal without that level of intimacy. Also I forget to mention previously: Can I slap Ginny please?

Humm methinks Hermione was right when she asked if the cards would be/are directing their behavior. Not that I am complaining. Naked time is always fun to read.

You and Lariope are the only authors I know of to write SS as a fortune teller. If this idea caught on we could make a quiz out of them!!“It’s magic Granger. In theory, anything can be done.” ts really quite mind boggling the power and potential of magic. Use your power for good Luke Severus.I find the cards facinating. Also I know nothing about them and yet you have provided enough details so that i don't feel lost. Thank you

It has been a long journey, but I wouldn't have missed any part of it. Lovely.

Brilliant chapter.  I loved the dynamic between them, and the "matter of fact" way that the fortune teller directed their attentions and helped them solidify their determination to take this journey together and support each other.  And now they're off to find this seat of magic and put their world to rights.Well done!Beth

I am starting this story over from the beginning. And what a great beginning it is. So many questions here, so mysterious. What has happened to Hermione, a fortune teller is the last place the old Hermione would have gone. And why was Snape so compelled to follow her. Like I said so many questions. :)

I believe the tears started falling in the first paragraph of this chapter and continued to the end.  It amazes me that this story, which began with such Darkness in our heroine, slowly and fluidly evolved to the water-splashing romp of pure light that it became, as our beloved ones Healed.  This story is a thing of extreme beauty, darling, and you should be proud--very, very proud.~standing ovation~

Well then just a few teasing kisses and HG's magic has come unstoppered. What will it take for SS? HeeeeeMe thinks Ollivander could have been a bit more helpful. Surely he has seen all sorts of troubles with casting. Okay off to bed for me. I'll be back!

I bet they could blast the shadow right out of them both with a long night of sweaty sexxors!!! But this is not a PWP so you must have other ideas. Cruel of you really.

Denial thy name is SS. He ignored the symptoms of this horcrux fatal allergy for 10 years before finding HG! Men! I have noticed that HG feels releif or at least some comfort when he is around. Is that a soul warm fuzzy passing between them or me just grasping at straws? I do hope the fortune teller is evesdropping.

I simply adored this.  That's all.  I just adored it.  Thank you.

THe muggle fortune teller she has magic of some sort I think. I want to call her a hedge witch, untrained but not powerless. SS and HG would do wise to show her some respect. Hell she has already weaved their souls together and they didnt even notice. I am tickled by how bitter HG is towards AD. That man and his manipulating ways make me crazy. Please don't turn it around and have him be innocent. It will force me to thump you on the head the next time I see you.

I remembered that HG is sick and thats it. Thought I should start from the begining again. I love the way SS is drawn to her by her very aura. The idea that she has the shadow, is fighting darkness is troublesome. That he can feel this in her as it does in him? Well it reminds me of Cloak of Courage and I do mean that as a compliment. This is my favorite site to review at cause I like these little guys

A beautiful story of spiritual renewal and hope. It touched my soul. So glad your friends encouraged you to write and share it.Well done.

Beautiful story. This one will definitely be on my "To be made into a PDF list". The 5 stars isn't just for this chapter, but for the entire story. If I could give you more, I would. Can't wait to read your next story. ^_^
