Chapter 8......... Another WONDERFUL chapter!!! I do so LOVE how Hermione shot Lucius down, couldn\'t have happened to a bigger piece of slime!!!

I am really curious to see how you write her visit in London as well as telling her parents!!! Will you be having her visit the burrow now that she has decided to move on in her life?

I think you gave this chapter a very nice ending & I look forward to the next update!!! Deb >^..^<

Wonderful chapter - I like the pace you\'re taking with their relationship, especially like the one week period they have to get to know each other - it\'s definitely forcing them to open up earlier than they would have normally... Update soon!

OH, that was a good chapter! I love when people try to explain Snape\'s past! I love how Hermione was facinated by his Dark Mark (very in character) and how she was so comforting to him. I couldn\'t help sniffling a little is was so sad and yet beautiful at the end. I can\'t wait for the next update!

I very much like this story, especially the most recent chapter. Being a Snape fan, it\'s intriguing for me to see how JKR\'s gradually giving us glimpses into Severus\'s life as time goes on -- I was glad to see him be eraterated to some degree in OotP. This latest installment on your story is perhaps one of the best and most plausible descriptions I\'ve read so far as to why Severus turned to the Dark Side. Even if Severus\'s father had not been very well-known in his community, abused children often feel isolated from other children as well as other adults because they don\'t think anyone will understand. After all, if your own parents aren\'t on your side...who is? JKR certainly made it obvious that there at least was verbal abuse in Severus\'s childhood, and there\'s noson son to believe that there wasn\'t other forms there as well. On some level, Severus clearly thought (as do many children of abusive homes) that there was something fundamentally flawed about him -- being a Death Eater may have been a form of self-punishment as well as a means of rejecting and wounding the people who rejected and wounded him. An excellent job...

Chapter 7..... I think this has to be my favorite chapter so far, AMAZING JOB!!! I was reading through tears, feeling just a bit of the pain that a person that went through all of that must feel!!! They both have so much pain, to different extents, but a great deal of it none the less!!! I very much like the fact that you are having them bond on an emotional level while they are learning about each other on a personal level!!! I am looking forward to the progression of their relationship as I predict you will handle it with thought & care!!! Til chapter 8, Deb >^..^<

WoW! What an excellent story! I am so happy I managed to stumble over it, and I can\'t wait for . M. Most of these Marriage Law stories, while entertaining, are very unbelievable, but the way you have it progressing is very real- very slowly but surely! I am really, really enjoying your story, and I hope the vows they took were a foreshadowing of great things to come! Update soon, please!

Hi GFeather, If I haven\'t reviewed this before, I wanted you to know -- I\'m really liking this story. There is the \'nemesis\': the Marriage Law that affects everyone in SS and HG\'s world. SS showins \'s \'peer\' personality (opposed to his snarky professor) and HG matured yet still inexperienced is a delight--it is a \'gentle\' romance that is refreshing and enjoyable. The LM wanting HG for his son & wanting revenge on SS are making this a story of depth that is a true gem. I look forward to & check for updates often.
Affectionately, -E-
