I love the speculation here about how the memory-removal/pensieve magic works. And both Hermione and Snape are nicely IC; I like that she gets her own back with him.

I really enjoyed reading your story. I think that the characters were well developed and the plot was believable and sweet. Thank you for writing!

At last! He's finally letting all of the old chains, and learning how to live. Leaving Hogwarts is definitely part of that, in my opinion.

I wouldn't call Dumbledore good authority.

aw that was really adorable

I liked it. A good portrayal of Severus and his angsty relationship with Lily that refused to die. I liked the parallel between his kiss with Lily and the one with Hermione.
