Chapter 11........ FABULOUS CHAPTER!!! YES Minerva!!! Sounds like she\'s pretty pissed about what Albus did to Hermione & Severus!!! I am so glad that she told Hermione that Sev hadn\'t wanted to leave her & that she told her about the music room!!! If she goes back again & again he will eventually come to her won\'t he, love will win out in the end won\'t it?

I feel so very bad for Severus!!! Does Albus know how much Sev hurts himself because of what he did to him? I do understand that he has a lot of loyalty to Albus, but I really do hope that Sev will let his love for Hermione let him do what he knows is right!!!

Really looking forward to seeing what happens in chapter 12!!! Til then, Deb >^..^<

My heart aches for them. How could Albus be such a jerk!! I hope Minerva takes control of the old windbag and gets those two lovebirds together!!

Ohhh! If I was Snape I would kick Dumbledore\'s ASS! Houldould know that even though Hermione is grieving, she does nothing that she doed not want to do; and as far as Severus goes, he has never shown any unappropriate behavior to any of his students, he should of at least been given a good chance to explain. I can\'t wait to read what Hermione\'s reaction will be when she finds out. Also, I\'d have her go after Malfoy, but not to kill him, but to make him her bitch. That would absolutely destroy him. Waiting anxiously for the next chapter.

I\'ve always considered Albus somewhat of a manipulative bastard, but I\'ve never actively disliked him before now. You\'ve drawn me into your story and for several minutes I actually hated the dude. Well done!

Eagerly awaiting more (so hopefully this albus gets what\'s coming to him)

It is hard to comment when part of a story hits close to home. My own mother died 17 years ago December 9th, trying to read Hermione thinking about her mother was difficult I kept catching myself skipping over it, then forcing myself to go back and read. I also had a very lovely women try to be a surogate(sp) mother to me - I did reject her at first (she was an ex-bf\'s mother), but she gradually became a very close friend, she died four years ago today. Her loss hit me hard - she had been through the majors with me, the planning of a wedding and the births of three children (my children called her grandma). Ahh sorry, I guess you never know how a story will impact you.

On to the story...I feel for Hermione and poor Severus - I trust you have a plan to get them back together. The journal, what a great idea. I hope Hermione doesn\'t fault Minerva and will give her a chance eventually. Just a gentle reminder...these characters are British.

k yok you for writing and I think you rock too.

Cry- to shout, weep or wail. I want to shout at Dumbledore to stop being so meddlesome. I want to weep with Hermione at her loss. I want to wail at Snape to go and tell her the truth.

Heere ere snake girl, How u doin\'?

I love \'Pleasantville\' and \'Dude where\'s my car?\' they are two of my faves.
I truly think that one of the best things about this fic is Hermiones memories of her parents, I know I\'ve said this before but they are so real. Actually I just had a vision of mum dressed like Geri Halliwell and now I must go and disinfect my brain!!
I really liked Hermione decorating her rooms and her choice of passwords is definitely something I would have chosen!!

But all this angst is killing me!! Please tell me this is going to end well? Please? Please?

Update soon
Kisses

P.s Did you watch RHPoT yet?? You don\'t know what you\'re missing if you haven\'t, and no I\'m still not tellinu whu what happens next in my story!!

Chapter 8 & 9............. Albus is being a total DICK!!! What crawled up his backside & died?!? I feel really bad for Hermione & Severus & it pisses me off that Hermione is being lied to by Albus!!! It tugged at my heart when Severus kissed her & spoke to her before he left!!! I can totaly understand that Hermione wanted to be close to Severus after the funeral!!! My mom passed away on Christmas Eve & her funeral was 1 week ago today. I wanted nothing more than to be able to be close to my husband!!! Albus has done a very bad thing in making Severus leave!!! I hope that she finds out the truth & that the 2 of them can throw it all in Albus\' face as soon as she is of age & he has no more say!!! Anyway, enough ranting;-) I am really enjoying this story & am looking forward to your next update!!! Til then, Deb >^..^<
P.S., Looks like we are neighbors, I live in PA*

Chapter 10....... WOW!!! This chapter really got to me for many reasons, you really touched my heart with what you wrote!!! I am still way pissed at Albus because he will not allow what should be between Severus & Hermione & he is tearing them apart inside.... does he even care?!? I do so hope that Severus will find some way to contact Hermione or for her to see him without Albus\' knowledge before it is too late!!! Maybe he could get that book to her somehow, it would explain so much to her!!!

The part you wrote about what Hermione was thinking about her mom really touched me!!! Some parts reminded me of my mom & others reminded me of how things are with me & my children!!!

I am really looking forward to what is yet to come formiormione & Severus & am hoping that good things will happen for them very soon!!! I want so much for them to be able to be together, can you tell;-) Til chapter 11, Deb >^..^<

P.S., Thank You for your thoughts!!! I am doing pretty well considering & am distracting myself with my kids & reading. I don\'t want to sound cold, but it\'s sad how some people can only do things like that during times we need them, cowards!!! I am thinking that the ex-boyfriend didn\'t deserve you & you deserve much better!!!

Don\'t be scared... it is just me and I am much more mellow now. Don\'t get me wrong, I am still utterly pissed at Dumbledore. Severus and Hermione are miserable and it is really depressing. Could you stir things up in the next chapter or two? McGonnagall mentioning her nephew was a particularly bitter pill for Hermione.
I do love your story though, even if it bums me out at times. Kudos!
