I only just discovered this story and I absolutely binged it. Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful story. The slow burn was absolutely perfect!

What an incredible story! I've been reading snamione for almost 5 years now and this is the first fanfiction that made me cry specially on the way the final battle was written. Truly beautiful!

I really enjoyed this story! So glad you finished it. I loved how you were able to weave your tale into the threads of canon so skillfully. Well done!

Despite everytin his plate, Hermione is taking more and more qpace into his thoughts.

soooo beautiful! you do romantic and emotional scenes like noone else. but I am also starting to feel some kind of foreboding that you will actually stick to canon until the bitter end and have Severus die... I was kind of expecting a divergence by now, Severus with his smarts and access to a library figuring something out to get rid of the Horcruxes more easily, or at least tricking Bella into giving him access to her vault, or finding that diadem, I mean he's right there at Hogwarts and doesnt even try to help with their mission, come on, Severus!

This is nice to im hine how their relationship could have moved forward behind everyone else back.
She is still the reckless Gryffindor student, happy and proud of having thwarted the Ministry, until she realises how her action even if forvthe good can come with negative results.

Slowly they spread the seeds of their future unconditional trust.

I love Severus’ inner monologue.
How it warms him to know someone trusts him but how it scares him at the same time.

Another stone to add to the path of building friendship.

Well Hermione (even if I thought she was a bit too young) had finaly sexy time with one of her not-so-handsome guys as she likes them more with charisma than beauty.

Now, it is quite a slow slow burn between herself and Severus, I’m not sure they have even reached the edge of the ice cap.

Something is truly building between them, more than a student caring for her teacher.
Well, from her side.
He still sees her as the girl, as he should.
Yet she brings him comfort like he rately received.

Now knowing Severus, will he lash out or just put this aside in a part of his mind to process for later ….

Progresses, progresses…
And Hermione is probably the only one to really fear for Severus safety, after all he is allowed to return to Voldy, hours after the summon, not the expected few minutes after.

Thry are all on stand-by, awaiting for the other shoe to drop…

I think been able for her and letting her for him to hold a hand is like a seism for both of them.

Progresses, progresses …
