I was so excited to see a new story from you! It was just the pick me up that I needed after a long week and a half. I am looking forward to following one of your stories from beginning to end again. I've missed that since Post Tenebras, Lux ended.

By the way, I checked out the link you referenced and I agree it is definitely taken from you. I reported the chapter for using property not her own. I hope things get taken care of. I hate to see your hard work stolen.

In any case, it is wonderful to see you back at work. I can't wait for more.

As always (and again!),

So nice to see something new from you! I look forward to following this, knowing we are in for a nice, long, slow ride.

Great insight into Severus. You can feel his emotional pain and just want to find some way to comfort him. Nicely done!

Yeah a new story on Snape and Hermione can't wait to see where this leads.

Excellent start to another long story. You've set the characters on their respective paths with the appropriate amount of fear, resignation and determination.

I'm SO glad you've got a lot of Poppy in this one and I hope it continues through to the end. I've always loved stories where she's involved and helps take care of Snape when he's injured.

How old is Hermoine in this chapter? 16? She's nearly a year older than all the other kids, right?

You're brilliant with dialogue and you've got Snape at his sarcastic best. The comment about Minerva and the hairball nearly had me spit tea all over my computer. It's little thoughts or comments like that that give depth to a story and I'm looking forward to reading more. Is it too much to hope that we'll get two chapters a week?

Plagerism is deplorable and you're handling it better than I did when it happened to me.

Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah a new fic of yours ! I love your work, and especially the way you depict Severus and Hermione's relationship.

I look forward next chapters, and wish you luck on the writing.

I also sincerely hope that you will settle this plagia mess. (I hate plagia ! And your fic Post Tenebras Lux is just awesome, that it would be a shame for someone else to try to steal what you've managed to achieve. I hope I make sense).

Yay! A new Snape/Hermione fic! I really like the plot line of this one compared to your last one. I like grumpy sarcastic Snape and it seems like he will be strongly featured in this one, as opposed to slightly sarcastic, mellow(ish) Snape.

And I am so sorry about the plagarism - it's one of the worst things that can happen to an author. I will be reading the two links and if I find that they plagarized, I will report it. Politely.

A wonderful beginning to what I hope is another great story by you. I'm only slightly worried that they'll start a relationship before she's of age, but I have faith in you. I hope everything gets worked out with your stolen chapter. Looking forward to the rest of it!

-D

I am so glad to see a new story from you! This has already caught my interest. I am looking forward to reading more about Severus during the actual years of the war. From this chapter, I especially liked Snape's reaction to Hermione wanting the Healing apprenticeship and Hermione's reaction to Snape being a spy. Oh, and the line "But sadly your sarcasm reflexes are just fine,". Thanks for writing. x

Well now, this is a pleasant surprise. 35 per cent liver function? Good grief. The man needs help, but is apparently a functional alcoholic. And as always, Dumbledore is a bastard. Interesting take on the Umbridge Snape encounter. Sad to hear about the plagiarism, there are indeed many similarities.

Severus Snape, Double Agent. I was amused at how it came as such a shock to Hermione. I like the idea of this young girl being wrong footed as she begins to officially help the order.

I wonder will Poppy and Hermione also work to keep the rest of the Order healthy? Do injured Order members floo to the infirmary or does Poppy do house calls? I am looking forward to how this all turns out.

You only hinted but I think I spotted staff camaraderie! Squeee! I love it when the staff can enjoy the support of friendship and sarcasm. Heaven knows they are going to need it when DU gets going. Might a suggest a quick poisoning?

I despise plagiarism. Will go and have a look-see.

The wait is at an end, thank you. I feel old and depressed reading Poppys scans of Severus health but am quite sure that you will find a way to make it better for him (even if it gets worse at first ...) and it will be a delightful read.

Welcom back, I cant wait for more ;o)

Aww, I'm so excited and can't wait to read the whole story. Loved the first chapter. I'm glad that you wrote from Severus' point of view - I like reading that :)

Oh man I love this beginning, I can't wait to read more..this is wonderful.. I LOVED Post Tenebras, and HATE the fact that it was plagerized, I will certaily report this too..It is such a shame that people can't write their own stuff and leave others stories alone...Grrrrrr, that makes me so mad!

Looking forward to more...Well done!

I'm already in love with this. You had me at the very first sentence.
