Very interesting storyline; did not think I would actually enjoy the idea of as mute Harry but was happy to realize that the endeavour was well done. Still appreciate the A/N that you intersperse. Not much of interest that I can say other than I enjoyed my time reading. Oh, and to thank you for completing a given storyline before moving onto the next works; and also to thank you for sharing. Going to head for "UNION OF DOOM" now.

Please do have a great day.

Beautiful and meaninful tale. Excellent

I positively loved this one!

Aww! I love this story!
It's utterly romantic and beautiful.
I'm also reading your other fic that has Harry mute, and you've done it well here as well.
I don't know what else to say except I loved it!
Love Heart

I loved your fic! It's quite believable and sweet. Great job

This story was ok. I really liked the progression of their relationships and their interactions with each other.
The ending though felt a little forced. That and it was fluffy to the point of being slightly sickening.
Then again that might just be my bad mood.
Hope to read more from you in the future.

Perfect! A great combination of angst and fluff. Very original. The way you described the rain was breath taking. Im glad Tonks and Lupin lived in this one. The last book broke my heart so im sticking to fanfic. Great job!! I plan on reading your other Snarry stories. Im sure they are as good as this one. :D

Truly brilliant story. I love the way you slowly developed the relationship between Severus and Harry over time from professor/student, to almost equals and then finally to lovers. i just love the way you portrayed both Severus and Harry's feelings-emotions/motivations following old moldy-shorts defeat and his cursing Harry mute. Will you be considering a sequel to this story?

Wow, loved this fic, it's really very beautiful. I enjoyed the slow progression of their relationship and the set-backs and obstacles that they needed to overcome.
Fabulous fic!

Snotter? That is hysterical!

I, too, have on many occasions been rather confounded on why, for the love of all that is good, anyone would refer to sexual relations in fiction as a "lemon". Allow me to bless you with a number of my theories.

Foremost, the internet "slang" {}, which tends to reference a woman's nethermost not-so-secondary sexual organs, also somewhat resembles a lemon in shape.

As well -- and it is only a passing thought towards explaining this phenomenon -- I have before heard sexual smells described as "tangy", or similar to that of a lemon.

As well, lemons, unlike other fruit, have never, in my lifetime, been compared to sexual behavior, outside of this one reference, and the above comparison involving the symbols {}. This therefore makes it a highly discreet way to refer to such behavior. Oranges are too round, with sometimes pointed ends, for such a purpose, naturally.

Another passing thought -- Lemons can be used in lemonade, which tastes good. I am sure you can attempt to extrapolate from here.

Perhaps there was a strange fanfiction regarding someone with a fetish for lemons? This would naturally cause a large enough controversy to infuse the term with some fame, I would think.

In relation to the above theory, I have also heard reference to the useage of fruit in sexual behavior of the more lonesome variety. May there have been a fanfiction regarding that, and involving a lemon, instead?

Finally, I once came across a website where someone did not know what the word "rape" meant, and had previously always thought it was a fruit. Ever since then, the word "fruit" induced mad giggles amongst the fangirls and -boys who frequented it.
Might there perhaps have been a similarly ridiculous misunderstanding, with something thinking "sex", "intercourse", "cunnilingus", "fellatio", or some other such term, referred to a variety of lemon? There are some awfully odd Latin terms relating to such activities and their related positions, as I am sure you well know, considering your apparent proficiency with the language.

I can only hope that I have perhaps answered as many questions as I have asked. The story is relatively interesting, as always, though there most certainly are some disappointed inconsistencies. I personally do not, however, mind the lack of a "lemon".

"Longing loins" and "greedy groin" caused me to look away, momentarily close my eyes at the ridiculousness of the world, and then burst out laughing. Seriously?

"Never ever again!" sounds like a young child throwing a hissy fit. xD Your beginning paragraphs always make me laugh, Lol.

One of the issues, of course, with knowing a language, is that others will call upon you to communicate with them. Dreadful, that... Poor Snape. xD I myself actually know some Sign Language, though I suck at it, Lol.

Lovely story so far. No major opinion yet, of course; it could all fly south from here, but I doubt it, considering your later works.

nice! I love the verbal insults. This is truly Snape, and this is truly romance, for it has just begun, but the characters are holding to themselves.
The long-ass paragraph wasn't even that daunting... amazing..

aww! that was SO sweet.
