I also was fooled at first and had to reread it to make sure I followed. Nice job on the wording, well written. |

I know some folks have questioned the Snape and Lily aspect of this, I have to admit it - it's one of the reasons I love this peace.
Often enough, we have our own doubts about whether or not we're perfect for someone. And sometimes the people we fall in love with, were already actors in a grand romance. It's easier to believe in the magic of something that could never be - than the magic you have to make yourself.
I think Hermione going for her own sake, and in some ways for permission - makes sense.
Lily made her own choices, and she chose James and to have a family with him. But that first love - is so hard to let go of and how often do we look back later in life and wonder.
Now Hermione doesn't have to wonder, she has her own closure - and that was what she needed.
Props for you, for thinking beyond a happy ending. |

I'm afraid, that like aurora borealis, I'd thought this was about marrying Ron/saying goodbye to Severus rather than Severus/Lily. I also agree with verasuspense and wallyflower, that Lily didn't merit Hermione doing all that, since she put the final cracks into Sev's heart. Thanks for all your work, though! |

I have to agree with another reviewer--that I don't see why Hermione would have to say goodbye. It might have been necessary had Severus' affection for Lily been mutual, but it wasn't; Lily had never claimed him for herself, so I don't see why Hermione should feel that she had to ask permission. Her biggest worry would probably be how to make sure that Snape isn't still clinging to Lily, not the other way around. But oh well. I do love the way the story was written--how you choose you words, how you can deliver a lot in short sentences. |

Good move. You kept the suspense up until the end. I had to read it twice before it sank in that she was talking to Lily and not Severus. ^_^ |

You had me going until near the end - I thought Hermione was getting married to Ron and needed to slip away to say goodbye to Severus! |

I'm glad Severus was over Lily to the point that he didn't need to say goodbye to her. A sweet story, and an anjoyable read:)
Warm regards,
