One of the best!

Even during this reread I could hardly put it down! It really is so very well written. And the ending makes me want to have more babies.. thank you!

After the Anglo-Catholic symbolism used earlier in this story, as an Anglican myself, I found the "Take," the Dark Lord said, as Severus knelt before him."Drink" chilling. It's so close to the Eucharistic language used in services, that to have it uttered by Lord Voldemort is disturbing indeed.
And poor Severus. Poor Hermione. I read this story so long ago, I'd forgotten all this. You are one hell of a writer, lady!

Once again, your description of the marriage vows from The Book of Common Prayer touched me deeply, as did Hermione's understanding of them. I happen to agree with what Hermione's Father Gadbury said about them. Beautifully written. Antoerh "10" for you, dear writer!

One of the most exquisite and beautiful descriptions of lovemaking I have ever read. The depth of loving intention and feeling Severus showed was so well done. Of course a writer's necessity of creating more drama after having quelled it manifested itself in "Miss Granger, what have you done?"

I love Severus' genuine remorse and dismay at not only how he had treated Hermione, but what her reaction was to the pain he'd inflicted. Quite an eye-opener, eh Severus? She is truly not at all what he expected (or expects!) in that department. A "10" out of 10 for you, author!

I like both Granger's and Snape's last-minute machinations in front of Dumbledore(!). Snape says he is the one who asked, and Hermione accepted his request, while she announces she's keeping her maiden name-"and Severus has agreed"! Well done!

Great beginning-apt characterization, and believable behavior-looking forward to more!

Eekkkk this is horrible poor Hermione and her heart

Loving this! Gosh this story is tugging on my heartstrings!

I really enjoyed your story.

I have no idea if you're still reading reviews but I'll have you know I was cracking up during chapter 1, absolutely brilliant writing and I can't wait to read more.

No matter how many times I read this, it never gets old.

I've just re-read this fic and love it even more than before. Your Professor and Miss Granger are perfection, and you write so well. This is a treat from start to finish. The subtle touches of humor are wonderful, and I love your take on all the supporting characters too. Well plotted and beautifully written!

I don’t understand exactly what is going on. So far it seems like all kinds of information and connective tissue is missing. Right now I don’t care to decipher the meaning.
