| Wonderful... incredibly well written and impressively long. :) I've dedicated an entire weekend to this novel and enjoyed every minute... even when Hermione drove me nuts or Snape was being ridiculous... No worries though it was all very smooth and in character. Great Job Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing this story and miss it. :( | |||

| Thoroughly magnificent! Your story had such an intriguing plot and through all the twists and turns I was just more captured by it. I'm curious as to the fate of some of the others, well in my mind at least, but their ends weren't vital so oh well. So many emotional blows during your tale, it was almost like watching a train wreck. I do believe that you did a very good job portraying Hermione and her mental capacity. She was bright and witty with just the right amount of teenage self-doubt and insecurity. Severus was nearly perfect too. You easily encapsulated the characters so well it's hard to fathom.
You write so well that it's hard to believe that there are so many chapters. Once I get started reading I can't stop, through tired eyes I read your longer stories just out of the need to know which turn you will take next. You have a gift that i wish I could steal or at least bottle and make a killing off of. Very well done yet again. keep up all the damn fine work! *hands you gold stars* Author's Response: I've got a twisted mind. LOL As you now know! I read the same way. It's hard for me to put something down if I'm interested in it--even if I'm knackered. Thanks so much for your comments. | |||

| One of the things I liked best about the story was the plot twists. I enjoyed the uncertainty held by Snape, and the depiction of the Death Eater world.
I especially liked how you made the Dark Lord seem harsh yes, but still human enough. He was just twisted enough, yet not too twisted. You managed to portray the lure of the Death Eaters very well.
I enoyed your Draco, Harry, and Pansy characterizations very much.
I (obviously) liked the Hermione/Severus interaction yet I must admit that I didn't necessarily think that Hermione was that much in character. Of course that is probably just a difference in perception. I like to think Hermione is little more mature than how she is portrayed. She seemed more 15 than 18. I also like to think that she would be a little cleverer about her interactions with Severus and that she could not be so thoroughly manipulated. Of course much of that is very subjective. Over all twas a great read! Author's Response: Thanks for your review. I am happy that you liked the story. Hermione was 17--nearly 18 at the end--in HBP, and she acted much like this one (immature at times, bad decisions, emotional, etc), so that's how I portrayed her. And I do believe that most 18 year olds are still childish and do things that older adults wouldn't. I believe I'll have to put up a warning in the beginning that there is no super!mature!know-all!hermione in this story. I tried to represent her as realistically as I could--many flaws-- in the way that I see her. Being easily manipulated? I think she would be, especially by Snape. She never stood up to him in canon. She tried to, but the moment he yelled, told her to shut up, or whatever, she stopped, allowing him to go on. Even after all he'd said to her and done to her friends, she respected him and took him at his word. I'm of the mind that she is already manipulated in canon. Dumbledore has been orchestrating things for a long time, leaving enough clues for Harry to catch on, and Hermione is right there going down the same path. If I write an older Hermione, then, yes, I do try to give her a bit more "umph" (what's the dang word I'm looking for?) than this. She's quite clever, but she not the savior to the Wizarding world. I don't like a Hermione that has all the answers. After HBP, I realized that. Like her having to work hard in Potions and not being able to figure out the Prince thing and so on.... It just made me rethink things where she's concerned. That's why I had her working so hard at the potion. I don't think she would get it perfect the first time without help or really working at it. Anyway if I write her as a kid (18, I mean), then she'll likely be just like this--not perfect like I see in many other stories. Author's Response: Sorry, I hit enter before I could finish... LOL I was going to say that Snape, on the other hand, is a master manipulator, and if he can't fool/manipulate an 18-year old girl, then he's not very good is he? I'm betting that he could--easily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have last long with Voldemort or Dumbledore. I think Hermione has a bit more growing to do before she's comparable with either of them. Love/Lust make women say/do many things that are out of character. Been there and done that. Thanks for reading. :) | |||

| It only took me 3 days to completey read this absolutley breath-taking story. I nearly cried multiple times, and whenever I read something that can bring out that kind of emotion I need to give the writer a big hug and thumbs up! I would like to know something though....how did Hermione get her wand back?? She didn't have it when she was at the Castle with Severus....but then had it when she was at Grimmauld Place to "practice" spells and also for the final battle. Eh, I think too much. Or maybe I just missed something. I loved the idea of Draco and Ginny, and all the future implications of such a pair. Well honestly I could go on forever about how much this fic rocked my socks but I'm not going to bore you with my gushy details of things you already know because you wrote them. So I'm going to stop blabbering and just say.... Thanks!!!! ~Brena Author's Response: Severus gave it back to her when he sent her packing. Maybe I'll go back and make that more clear. I'm so happy that you liked the story. I also like Draco and Ginny together. I probably could have carried on with the story a bit, but I figure this is good enough, leaving the rest for us all to decide for ourselves. Hope to see you for my next story. Cheers! :) | |||

| I feel the need to thank you for writing such a wonderful story and sharing it with us. This last chapter is perfect. Your way is much more better than a dreamlike marraige. I'm waiting patiently for the epilogue and hope to see the not-so-new Severus. :-)
Well done and good luck with all your work!
Fic Author's Response: Thanks for reading. If I add an epilogue, I won't have a suddenly changed Snape. He'll be the same. Teehee! I'm really happy you liked this. Cheers. | |||

| You better have Lupin come to his senses and soon! While I am sympathetic with Harry/Ginny I don't mind to read them paired off with someone else. But I fear I'm a rather militant Tonks/Lupin shipper. I'm also quite disturbed by the way you have portayed Tonks so far. You don't seem to like her...
Otherwise your story is great so far. I don't like your Severus much, but he's a perfectly possible Canan-interpretation. If I was Hermoine I'd tell him to shove off. But then again she is pretty young and still has to learn her that an unhealthy relationship like this one's not worth it... Author's Response: Lucikily for me, Tonks/Lupin end up together then, eh? I don't like Tonks much, no. I find she's a bit clumsy and annoys me. Lupin, while I don't mind him, I think he's too nice and just tries to make everyone happy, which is how I tried to portray him here. I get a bit bored with Harry/Ginny. So I try not to have them paired together too often. Severus is a bit complex, and Hermione has much growing to do. Things will get better, and she will find her own. Cheers and thanks! | |||

| oh! I loved it! This was the most complex Severus I have read. I enjoyed how your plot kept me on my toes. Both Severus and Hermione were deep and interesting characters. Thank you for writing such a beautiful story. Author's Response: Thank you for reading. I'm happy you enjoyed it! | |||
