' “I forgive you,” she said quietly. ' I have always believed these to be the most powerful words known to mankind. Forgiveness is the gift you give yourself... without being able to forgive, we are doomed to walk a circuitous and tortured road through a living hell. ••• This is a very satisfying chapter. Beth
Author's Response: Thank you -- there's a deep sort of magic in those words, I think. As hard as they can be to say. |

Excellent chapter, it was so great to see them finally TALK. No evasions, no manipulation, no magic..just talking it out. I don't think she should have forgiven him so easily, what he did was despicable but I'm so glad that Minerva realised how atrocious her matchmaking attempt was (I was fuming as I read it, haha)
Author's Response: She was certainly under no obligation to forgive him at all, no matter what he did to try to make up for his despicable behavior. I figured if she DID decide to do so, she wouldn't drag it out -- Hermione seems to be a pretty forgiving character. She'd been coming to it by degrees in this case, and the conversation was what she needed. |

This is one of the most romantic romances I've read in a long while. And I work in a library so see a lot of books! Great work!
Author's Response: Glad you think so -- thanks for reading. |

This conversation they had, and Severus giving her the opportunity to realize that even though she thought she was ready to sleep with him, she was by no means free of all the accumulated emotional conflict, hit me on a very, very personal level.
Thank you.
Author's Response: I'm very glad that worked for you. An author always wonders if emotionally fraught moments ring true. |

That was a great chapter. I love seeing Severus so emotionally exposed.
Author's Response: It was long overdue for him. |

I can't recall if you said it last chapter or chapter before but Hermione said something that hit me hard.
"Whether it was legal says nothing about whether it was just."
That was really the heart of the matter, wasn't it. It said everything. I've been waiting the entire story for her to say that, in those exact words - well done!
Author's Response: It is indeed the key point. Hermione thinks it goes without saying, but it really needed to be said. |
