Whooo, it is completely different to any story i have read!! i love the wou mou made severus into a loving hud! Td! The intimate screens were done amazingly well. The Twist of the rape by malfoy was very good and the emotions that she is going through have been written with precise detail.
please update soon

Okay, how to put this. This is a lovely story and very sweet and romantic and all that.
But it\'s not Snape.
Snape is a sarcastic sadistic irritable pessimist. In short he\'s a bastard. That\'s why we love him
This would have been a perfect story if it was about Hermione/Lupin.
That tender caring considerate gentlemanly lover is not Snape.
Snape would be possessive, demanding, sneaky. And moreover, kinky. He wouldn\'t wait for Hermione to make up her mind, he\'d have
snuck in a love potion into her morning pumpkin juice, made her love it despite herself, and the taunted her about it.

I think you did a splendid job on Ties, and you were
not away from the story that long in terms of updates.
You just spoil us with frequent updates, that\'s all.
;> Some WIPs I monitor update every 2 months. Don\'t
feel bad.

Since you write so well I can\'t really concrit you.
So I can only discuss story and my reaction to it.

So far you\'ve layed out another mystery as to who it
is SS knows that was also raped ( was it SS, or
another girl). He has a lot of guilt and he\'s not
telling her everything anymore, he\'s putting up some
walls again. Anger and guilt like that will stay for
a while too? I honesty would have expected this SS to
go vigilante, since he did not, it seems you are going
to take him and HG to Malfoy\'s trial. SS as
deatheater, while sympathetic to HG would not be so
easy towards Malfoy and vice versa. I\'d expect former
DEs to be after SS as well. A Malfoy on tiral will be
in all the papers, poor HG living through it all over
again would be too much.

How are HGs parents going to react as well, after this
happened, and the fact Dad wasn\'t too pleased about SS
in the first place. It will be good to get her
working on the house if for no other reason than to
distract her.

The way you handled the leaving feast was very sweet
and niecely handled with Harry and Ginny (who I just
love in this fic!), not many folks must have known she
was married until the scandle broke, but now that
she\'s graduated they can get on with life in the open.


You now are setting up the story so HG has time to
heal but ives ves you an opportuntiy to rebuild the
relationship between SS-HG, and that means more
kissing and romantic tension.

I do really really enjoy your SS in this mostly sweet
romance that involves the strugggles of daily living.
It is incredibly charming in this way. Your SS is so
different from other MLCs, but he is also plausible
given your story type.

Please update soon now that you are back. I can\'t
wait to read more! And you have to nail those
wonderfully evil Malfoys or SS will have to hex you.

Please update soon.

Hello. I just wanted to tell you what a fabulous story I think this is. I don\'t think you have to justify anything as far as Hermione is concerned. It\'s your story, so write it the way you want. My opinion, this last chapter was pretty on target, I thought. You\'ve done an excellent job with this story, and I look forward to the next chapter.

I think you\'re doing just fine, Hermione won\'t get over being raped in an instant, but I don\'t think she would dwell on it forever either. The pace you are setting works for me. I glad to see you back. Thanks for the update.

Beautifully done as usual ... I can understand your turmoil, as life has kept me from my fan fiction a lot lately, but I found that the delays made my work stronger and I can see it has done the same for yours. Bravo.

Until the next wonderful chapter,
