she doesnt seem so happy now to be married to him? why when before she seemed to be when she was telling people and etc about her getting married also "I'm not hungry," she muttered. She was married. She was married to her teacher! She was married to the one teacher she'd tried to please and couldn't, the one teacher she didn't know how to please. Flattery and sycophancy would have endeared her to Trelawney and Umbridge, but nothing had ever worked on him.

"You will be," he promised. "Classes start in three days. Your training starts as soon as we leave here. Did you remember to pack your old class notes?"

what no wedding night or even some relaxation or something after they have gotten married? does the trainig REALLY hapen as soon as they leave there also will the dreams stop now? no wedding bed WOW i wouldnt agree to that as I would wanna be in his bed etc EVERYNIGHT and etc! DUH! I hope hermione falls in love with him and severus falls in love with her as much as I love him!

hermione was shocked when her mum called him handsom? doesnt hermione think his handsom? because I DO, DUH! DUH his SEXY has as... as a GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

why would of all people hermione and severus be connected though dream link, does that mean they are soul mates or something? and why would the dream-link alone proves his true loyalties enough of a reason enough for the other side to kill him?

has severus been having those dreams too the same ones or like those ones? it said in the symposim that hermione AND Severus have been having the dreams if that is the case why didnt he tell the headmaster or know and listen to hermione or first allow her to talk in private with him without hermione having to ask for the help of the headmaster? also how is marrying and marrying a student gonna save severuses life?

I haven't figured out how to do my own account yet, so I'm reviewing this under my daughter's.

I love this story! I have read it at least 3 times. It is romantic yet thoughtful, true to character, and exactly the way the stories should end.

You have an amazing gift of digging under the snark and surliness of Snape and making him someone I would like to know.

Draco in this story also is exactly who I would hope he could be, and his relationship with Snape adds much to the story.

I was also disappointed in book 7. Can we pretend it didn't exist? Please keep updating and writing new stories. You are my favorite author!

Second time I've read this story. It's good.

Just like the first time i read this, and another hgss story, draco fancies hermione and is so cute and sad, it's almost i want him to end up with her.

what a lovely story! definitly one of my favorites!

duj, I just re-read this story after too long away, and I loved it all over again. I love what you've done with each one of the characters, and especially how you've gotten Hermione to foster true cooperation between her husband and Harry. So well done! Your writing is excellent. I look forward to a happy resolution of "Unexpected," and meanwhile I'll revisit some other old friends among your fics. Thanks again for sharing your talents with us.

I really liked this first chapter, it is really interesting. I think you did wonderfuly with the characters:)

Wonderful!

*applauds and wipes a few tears*

I finished reading this wonderful story last night but had better go off to bed afterwards. Finally I can write you my last comment. I liked the end, especially you included enough humour in it. I think I could just point out my favourite quotations:

1. "Troubles in paradise, Severus?" the elder Malfoy drawled. (Great! I could imagine both the men in that situation, haha.)

2. ...Draco say sharply, "Oi, Weaslette! You keep your paws off Potter until he changes back, got it? My eyes!" and Ginny reply, "Take the glasses off then, and don't look!"

(All this situation seemed so funny to me. Harry eager to kiss Ginny still with Draco-eyes... and what about Ginny - I love her :o) Even I am quite different from her and I doubt Ginny represents the image of an "idel" girl to me, I like her and she was my favourite character from the 1st book. And I like the way you kept her character in here. Hundred points!)

3. "You played for Slytherin?" (My God, Ron kicked me from my seat :o)) You hit it perfectly!)

The last think was far from humour situation but thanks for the last minidialogue between Neville and Draco. I think it was a tribute to both of them. And I am glad to know exactly what Draco felt to Hermione which I was not 100-percent sure before. He seemed to hide his feelings well, poor boy. :o)

Thank you very much for your story! You have made several nights quite pleasant for me. I hope I will find some other time to read over your other stories. And also thank for every reply you sent me. That is very nice of you.

Oh, I would never imagine such a plan! Good idea with the Polyjuice and so. And yes, 50 points from both... haha! Snape would never be as Dumbledore.

What I wanted to note earlier about Draco: I am not sure, I should think about it more, I think. But it seems as his godfather had a great influence on him, in the end. Maybe their fate was somelike similar. Anyway, as others say you have made a great job with Draco here. I could even like him /in spite I never liked him before/.

Dramatic, surely. And poor Hermione. I feel sorry for her. Well, her friends would probably see more about her soon (Ron would need some time more, I guess :-P)

And I was pleased you included Luna in the story even a little. I quite like her, I must say.

This was another wonderful chapter, duj. I really like the way you describes the growing feelings between Hermione and Severus, with all the awkwardness which is probably life-necessary :o)

Who could not fell in love with the Severus you created? (And perhaps with Hermione, as well. Well... I am not a man to say exactly LOL.)
