| I love how you left the ending with some loose ends. It was amazing to see how Severus misconstrued her actions -he knew that he took advantage of her yes but to think she would come back to him! It took a lot of courage for Hermione to forgive him and part of me wanted to see her thought process for this. It's not a small thing and I think she would have struggled for years to come to terms with the abuse. Here she doesn't have this luxury. Part of me wished that he were alive and she could face him in the future but there isn't much to gain from this I realize. He wouldn't comprehend the hell she had been through and nothing he could say would take back his actions and how much they hurt her. All her healing would be internal and this you have showed beautifully through her relationship with Harry.
I'm very glad you took the time to write this, you have done an excellent job. I'm very sorry about what you had to go through with your uncle but I'm glad that this exorcised some of those feelings. Thank you again! | |||

| I think this was an apt ending to a very compelling story. Forgiveness must be very difficult to give in a situation like this, and I'm sure that it will never be forgotten.
I am very appreciative of the courage that it must have taken to write this story. Bravo. Author's Response: Never forgotten. Ever. I often wonder if I truly did forgive as I said because if I did I don't know that I would still be so bitter about it. You know? Thanks for reading. I appreciate. | |||

| Well done on this story... I'm sorry you had to go through what you did, but at least you did try and tell someone. Author's Response: Yes, I told about that, but I think it was because I was older. Thanks for reading. | |||

| Wow, that was brilliant. I think it would have been more interesting if Snape lived. Therefore we could have seen how Hrmione would have reacted had he "called" upon her again once she was free. That was quite a turn about with the way you presented Snape at the begining, as a cold hearted man, to someone with a conscious. A job well done. I love all the stories that you've written, you rock! Author's Response: It would have definitely been more "interesting," but I just didn't have it in me to continue further. Thanks for reading! :) | |||

| I was trying to think on why this story seemed familiar-yet-different to me. Then it hit me: You were one of the ones who were angry at Deeble for not having Hermione actively enjoy being molested in Whate'er Therein Is Promised. Author's Response: Familiar yet different... I'd like to know how you go from that to saying I wanted Hermione to enjoy being molested in Whate'er Therein, etc...? That story was the fartherest thing from my mind when I wrote this. As far as me being angry with Deeble for having Hermione not like her situation, of course not. It would be ridiculous to be angry with an author over their story. I think a better choice of words would be that I was frustrated with the plot, though that was her choice. I had issues with her Hermione... period. She gave out mixed signals. I didn't like that in the beginning she was willing to sell her soul when she said she'd do ANYTHING to be his apprentice, knowing full well he could take advantage of everything, and he even hinted it to her. After that, I hated that she grumbled about in all the time while sometimes acting like she enjoyed it. Some of the chapters started sounding the same for me, so I put the story aside, as I told the author, and read it when it was completed and wouldn't leave each chapter wanting and hoping for some sort of resolution. Yes, I was pulling for them to fall in love. You really must have me confused with someone else. I was frustrated with the storyline, but that's because I wanted Hermione to be consistent in her actions. If she hated it that much, she would always act like it--mentally, verbally, etc. As I've openly admitted with this story in my author's notes, my feelings come and go. Some days I feel differently about anything of the sexual nature. Sometimes I see things through wanton eyes, and sometimes I get on a prudish kick. It all depends I suppose. While I appreciate the review, in a way, I don't know that I like the accusing tone of your words. Nor am I certain about your parallel of this story with that one. Are you saying I am trying to mimic it? Trust me, I've not thought of that story for months. Of course, I am quite a suspicious person, and it could just be me. However, if there is anything else you'd like to say on this matter, my email is available, and I won't mind exchanging notes with you. Cheers. SW69 Author's Response: Hehe. I just went look over at some of my reviews. I think another issue was the short chapters we'd get. I'm such a greedy reader. I always want more. I guess I felt like nothing would change--back n forth, etc. *shrug* :) | |||

| That was so good. I'm really glad Snape said he was sorry before he died. Hearing your abuser saying in the end that they're sorry really does mean something. It may not make the pain go away, but it does help to ease it some. Thanks for writing such a good story. Author's Response: Yes, it does make a difference, but there are always those haunting memories. Thank you. | |||

| I think Hermione lost her sparkle because she was resigned to her fate as Snapes 'toy'. I've heard of people who fall in love with their abusers- but I don't think Hermione would, and I don't think thats what you've written here although the word usage is cleverly ambiguous... She may have grieved for him- she's forgiving and kind hearted after all- but I think her tears represented her relief after living for so long in utter hopelessness- and he set her free. I hope that writing this was theraputic for you, because it was for me. Its beneficial to your readers as well- being well written and carrying us through a wide range of emotions- many of which we are unfamiliar with. Excellent work southern Author's Response: You've got it perfectly. In this instance, she didn't fall in love with him. She did forgive him and wanted him to rest in peace, but even though she hated what he'd done to her, she's very kind hearted. I did want to write it so that it was more or less up to the reader to decide. In my mind, no, she was just finally free, hated what it took to release her, and hated that someone she once respected had become such a person (and maybe mourning the man she once thought he was--but not for love.). | |||
