Your writing is excellently done. The story is progressing very well and I enjoy the plot so far. I am very glad that you have not rushed things with Snape and Hermione, everything is building perfectly! I've found nothing so far to criticize as you have the characters staying in character while developing feelings for each other.

Incredible chapter ending. Snape at Godric's Hollow, the crimson rose - so poignant, so beautiful.

lol, dumbledoor rocks! and a yay for their first kiss!

Great story! I loved the end - even if they did not catch Lucius. Would you write a sequel in the furute? This was well written and completely enjoyable! Thank you so much for sharing your talent - it has given me joy.

I think I've read this before as it all seems vaguely familiar. Even with that, though, I delighted with each chapter, the slow build, the mystery, the excellent characterisations. Great story; I'll definitely be checking out your other ones, too!

terrific story! I've been wondering though, is Hermione going to be with a limp forever? Or will it heal?

Lovely! One of the best written SS/HG fics I've read. I loved your plot and how you brought them together. Watch your spelling. A couple of things like was instead of has are probably typos from your fingers not catching up with your brain. Other than that, though, your grammar was flawless. I really like your dialogue because I felt it really fit the characters. Wonderful job!

That was awesome! As evidenced that I am up after 2 am and I have work tomorrow, I simply could not stop reading! Your depiction of Snape was wonderful - I could imagine any girl falling for him. I think that you are a fabulously talented writer, and I hope that we see much more from you. And I know I said it in another review, but I do hope you finish MM, too. I think, if possible, the blossoming of their relationship was even more slow and tender than in Requiem, although this was beautiful, too. Your dialogue is very believable, and your characters sound true to self. Really fantastic work!

wonderful

So far I don't think your Severus or Hermione are in character at all, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the story! Phlegmatic is a bit of a strange word to associate with Snape but if you look deep enough into the words roots, it basically means expressionless so I can live with that too. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Good story, had me hooked right from the start. Just one little thing: you keep describing Snape's face as "phlegmatic", which isn't an adjective I would associate with him. "Stoic" or "emotionless" maybe, but never "phlegmatic". That to me sounds more like lazy, sleepy, tired, apathetic or dull, none of which sound like Snape.

Other than that, fabulous! Can't wait to read to the end.

Great story.

Loved the ending! :D

Can't believe Draco died though ): anyway, thanks so much for sharing this fabulous story with us! Only thing I didn't really like was how Hermione always seemed to do more harm than good, & the focus on the Gryffindor/Slytherin traits was a bit too much. But it's still really enjoyable to read this :D

i had a bizarre to bring your reviews up to 500. congrats!

wow. great story.
