Thank you (wink).

I love how complicated this is -- just like life, only better since I don\'t have to unravel this!

Let\'s see -- isolated, lonely grown man in an adolescent boy\'s body + preternaturally wise and similarly lonely adolescent girl.... Dumbledore\'s going to have his hands full!

I hope you get through that wall of yours. If you want I could maybe somehow get a team of handy handymen to give you a hand.
And I definetely need my sleep...
Also I made up my mind and am not torn in two anymore. As much as I love reading this story every day I want it to end... I never could handle suspense and am really not patient. Waiting for Hermione to find out is killing me! I ,,,need,,, the reactions! But then again I love how their relationship is ,,,slowly,,,(=realistically) moving along... But I still can\'t wait!

I am double posting a review...aren\'t I sweet. I just need to say something more.

I am going to restate that I think most people who read this story UNDERESTIMATE how difficult and complex the polylove challenge really is.

There are very few writers who can pull off the difficult multiple characterizations required. Adding to that difficulty is Snape, one of the most difficult characters to \"control\". I know because I beta an SS/HG romance and keeping Snape snarky is hard work. I relate to Kate in this, because I find myself trying to get my writer though her fits of \"how am I going to resolve this mess\". The beta provides this objective view.

Now, that said, understand that your writing strength is your ability to handle adult and child point of view, this is what is going to allow you to see the polylove challenge through to the end. A credit to you is I have no idea how you are going to resolve the romance. I am still guessing.

Yes people- the polylove challenge is a very hard challenge.

Damn! I know I\'m not the only one who\'s frustrated by Dumbledore\'s perfect timing. Another amazing chapter!

This story is coming along marvelously, and I am enjoying it very, very much. (sends a shipment of virtual chocolate-dipped strawberries and champagne to create more inspiration, or at least make you feel better).

We\'ll be patient. This is well worth waiting for.

I\'m loving it. I rarely ever review - I\'ve done it maybe once or twice before - but I just had to write and say: DON\'T STOP!!!!! It\'s going so brilliantly! I love it; the way you\'re capturing their changing, as-yet-unvocalized relationship, and also the way you\'re drawing Severus\' relationship with both himself and how his new understanding of Harry is affecting him...

LOVE it. Don\'t stop until you\'ve written the last lines and also your author notes thanking everyone for the last ti and and telling us what you\'re moving on to next. :)

Quit making me cry already, he just wants to go home! I loved him finding Hermione reading to his body, what a wonderful way for Severus to see that someone does actually care for him, as much as she can given their lack of a relationship. I just keep wanting more and more of this story, please keep the updates coming, than Lau
