That was weird. It didn\'t post all of my review. Anyway, a wonderful chapter as always. Keep up the good work!

oh how precious! almost want to pat her on the head and send her off to bed like little Hermione Who down in WhoVill. and his actions and demeanor were just...wonderfully writen and well played. i REALLY loved the details you gave, both with the directions to the reading room, and the reading room itself. his feelings about the room were great too.
thanks so much, as usual, for posting hun. cant wait for more

Ack! I can\'t believe i missed so many updates! I must admit, though, that it was a bit of a treat to have a nice, huge chunk of story to read. I think I have told you before that I don\'t think this story gets the recognition it deserves, as it is wonderfully written and paced. I also think that you strike the right balance when it comes to retelling canon events (which, face it, could be boring as all hell) in terms of reflecting the inner thoughts of your focal characters. You\'ve done a very ballsy thing in exploring the development of a relationship (understated as it is) between Hermione and Severus without wanking the discrepancies in age and position,ethiething I find admirable, if for the mere reason that you\'ve done such a good job with it.

That scene with the flowers a few chapters back was incredibly touching, and definitely encapsulated those ephemeral qualities which sto dto draw these two together in your story. And congrats on finding an original use for that time turner.

Part 22, Chapter the Twentiethe: Meeting Happiness...

Behind again.... Real life can get in the way of the fun stuff way more often than I\'d like;-)

This chapter is FANTASTIC!!! This goes to prove the saying.... The heart knows!!! The way you wrote the meeting between Severus & Hermione was done BEAUTIFULLY!!! The questioning of it all, the thought process that she went through to make her point, his inner conflict, it all pieced together PERFECTLY!!! Her accepting the fact that he would need more than she could provide & her finding a way to remedy that part of their situation shows just how much this all means to her!!!

I also like how you added in the bits of humor as well as allowing Severus to laugh!!! I think he was quite taken by Hermione\'s opinion of him in that dress!!! I also think that you did a FABULOUS job of writing out the kiss & all that led up to it!!!

I can\'t wait to see how things work out between them in the future chapters!!! I am looking forward to your next update!!! Maybe I\'ll actually be caught up by then.... I can hope anyway;-) Deb >^..^<

Fantastically written as always! The way you portrayed their first kiss was wonderful - sen sensitive. Keep up the good work! I am really enjoying the story so far.

Wow.... finally.... 22 chapters in, the first kiss! heh. I really loved it, but there was still a part of my mind that was screaming \"Lolita! Lolita!\" Still, I can\'t wait to see how far this goes and how you will write the screaming shack incident. Great Job so far!

Part 21, Chapter the Nineteenthe: The Constraints of Time can be such a Drag

I am so sorry that I didn\'t do this sooner, but I have been extremely busy & had missed the fact that you had added another chapter!!!

Things are getting even better!!! I do like the fact that Severus allows his heart to feel, but maintains his honor by not following through!!! I think that the title of this chapter is PERFECT!!!

I can\'t wait to see how their meeting goes!!! Til your next update, Deb >^..^<

Oh my goodness! cant breath...laughing to hard. that was perfect! ooo cant wait to find out what happens when she meets Severus later! and the fact that he actually pulled her to him! SHOCK is not strong enough! i just about died...and they almost kissed! ::sigh:: oh i cant wait... thanks for posting hun! :)

Chapter the Eighteenthe: The Root Which Bears Dead Flowers....

Another FABULOUS chapter my dear!!! I really do like the way you wrote the relationship between Hermione & Ginny!!! It is wonderful for them to have each other!!!

I can\'t say enough about how much I LOVE the way you write Severus!!! I really like the different perspectives & views that you show!!! I think that he is a very complex character & I do hope & wish that J.K.R. will gives us a bit more of him in the last 2 books!!!

As always I will be watching for more!!! Til your next update, Deb >^..^<

I am absolutely going to marry this story. Every time I see a new part, I become giddy and am never disappointed. You do a lovely job of building their relationship and not offending\"sh\"she\'s freaking 14!\" sensibilities while remaining true to canon, characterisation and all.
