I'm glad I decided to read this one shot on a whim, both very glad and very sad to have done so. What a story, you did a wonderful job conveying Snape's character. The ending was heart wrenching, and the most bittersweet. I think I'm going to lay down now.

I don’t think words can describe how i felt reading this.

I felt kinda gutted at the end! So sad! Well done, thank you, and ouch!

Oh my heart

Love it .

In the next frame, he wakes up in Mungo and sees that she has fallen asleep hugging him.
In the next frame, he returns her memory to her parents as a better mentalist. Severus then thanks Hermione's mother that her instruction for her daughter saved his sanity and ultimately his life.
In the next frame, Hermione and Severus marry
