Excellent writing! Loved the birth scene, very well done. Liked the battle and loved the victory. Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh how sad! You did this perfectly. Absolutely wonderfully. For how horrible the event was, you did it proper justice. Didn't romantice it, not too much detail to make it unreadable. It just was. It just told, in sympathetic detail how it happened. Bravo for writing such a tricky, horrible thing. I'm not saying I enjoyed reading it mind you. As a healthy moral person I don't enjoy rape. I'm saying that you handled the telling of it wonderfully.

Thank you. Loved this story.

I read this story for the first time years ago, and I always come back to it. It’s the best representation of Snape I’ve ever read, the story is so compelling and incredibly well written (how are you not a professional author by now!?), hands down my favorite fan fic I’ve ever read. Bravo!

I cannot understand why did Hermione decide to keep the baby.
She’s just eighteen. Let alone the baby came from a rape, not love. It seemed to me that she decided to keep the baby just because the author wanted her to do to develop romantic relationship with her Professor. She even hadn’t thought fully about what she would be encountered with in the future. No thinking, no solution, no plan.
Yes, there is no doubt that Hermione is brave, but most importantly, she is also smart, responsible and reasonable. The baby would no doubt make Severus suffer a lot.
If she had thought about all the stuffs I said above and then made her decision, I would say she is brave and maybe has her reason.
But now, it just made her stupid.

Really beautiful story

Wonderful story... I'm crying...

I've loved the things about the latin's vocabulary, but I have to correct you. If the Word Is an adjective, as CARA It Is, you Will find the male form 'Carus', the female One 'Cara' and the neutral forma 'carum'. Anyway, let me Say that the male, female or neutral Is not actually a problem...verbs are really worst... And then... Over the genere you have to Sorry about the case... And the vocabulary doesn't help you in It... Oh well... After all... Green Is worst...

damn I'm real sad the link doesn't work anymore, I would have loved to have seen a pic of the chiton

why in the illogical hell would Hermione bring up the spell Lockhart used on Harry in second year? it has literally no contextual basis in what is happening.

Excellent story!

I realized I prefer broke Severus more haha

A lot of people here forget that this fic is from 2002, not even OoTP was out
