I wish you did a sequel to this story!

that is a beautifully written story. that was how snape was meant to be treated by his students! (in an ideal fictitious world..)

Well done. I've always thought that Snape was so rough on Neville as cover for always vanishing Longbottom's cauldron because it would be too easy to kill Harry by an "accident" created by slipping something into Longbottom's cauldron.

oh...it is so beautiful...why is it finish?..it is so COOL!..i truly love that pairing!...this story of yours is beautiful..i hope next time i read your story it is about mm/ss pairing

That was a very nice story, Severus finally gets to be happy! He so deserves it.

Wow Severus sure has a hard road before him here.

Voldemort is a right bastard.

This was lovely. I found the link to your fan fiction on your website and had bookmarked it to read when I had a lull. Today I felt drawn to this story. How odd that yesterday I was told to start trusting myself, and today, I am taught, once again, about Hope. After all, us grown-ups don't retain our lessons as well as we'd like to think.

Snape was perfection, but I just fell in love all over again with Minerva, Dumbledore, and poor Ron who usually gets the sharp end of a stick as far as treatment in fanfic goes.

Thank you for the enjoyable and enlightening story. :)

Sometimes I really do love Ron. This line is priceless:

"Right, let's get into trouble or something. I can handle that," Ron said.

I really do adore Minerva in this story. She seems like all the nurturing mothers of the world.

Poor Severus! I do empathize:

"The spasms jolted through him without warning, making him fearful of time."

Pain is bad, but fear is worse. That's what I've been dealing with the last three months and none of the doctors at least seem to get it that, yeah, it hurts, but the fact that it sparks my fear is even worse.

Off to the next chapter!

I'm not sure if I've reviewed this story before, but I am now reading it for the 4th time. This has to be one of my absolute favorite stories. The details of Snape's suffering are so acute. This story pulls at my heartstrings. I can't help but be drawn to poor Snape's suffering but then it warms me to see his kinder side. I nearly cried while reading this. Props to you and I hope you write more like this.

I really loved this story. It shows how Professor Snape really does suffer but I'm really happy you put a kinder spin on it and showed his compassionate side. I have to admit, I laughed out loud when McGonagall kissed him without any preamble...that was priceless. I've read many of your other stories and I really like all of them. Great job!

I love it! Such a good story!

Sweet! I really like it!

Woot! I love it!
