I can\'t say enough about this story - it is absolutely wonderful and I love seeing the interaction between the two as Hermione goes through school. Keep up the good work!

Chapter the Fourteenthe: The Mark of Integrity..... Iam glad to see that Hermione has someone that she can confide in, Ginny is a good choice for that!!!

This meeting between Hermione & Sevewas was quite interesting!!! Not only did it give rest to her idea of him having an addiction, but it opened another door of trust into their visits/conversation times!!! Even if he was tired I don\'t think he would have shown her the mark if he didn\'t feel he had trust in her!!!

I am looking forward to seeing just how she goes about finding out where Severus goes on his \'outings\'!!! Til chapter 15, Deb >^..^<

ahhhhh, so the Dark Mark is making an earlier appearance than GoF!!! Poor Hermione is out to save Severus from drugs - this should make for an interesting chapter next time! And Severus is just so sweet to her, I can\'t wait for the ending...tI\'lI\'ll go back and read the whole story from start to finish! Please just leave out Bella - I don\'t like her!!!

This chapter was kind of sweet. I can see why he sort of regretted telling her his ethnic background what with the Czeckie/Rasputin moni she she has hung on him. And now Hermione is a girl on a mission, but she\'s haring off in the wrong direction. Should be funny to read the next chapter.

Part 15, Chapter 13... I ADORE Hermione\'s Good & Bad lists about Severus!!! Glad to see that the Good outweighs the bad!!!

I really do like the conversations these 2 have!!! She seems to be able to get him to open up about so much!!! It is amazing how she analyzes EVERYTHING, but I can\'t see her being any other way!!!

I look forward to Chapter 14 as well as more conversationtweetween these 2!!! Deb >^..^<

The only person\'s opinion that should matter to you is exactly that, yours. Those of us who post on this website do it for the sole enjoyment of writing. That said, I think that you\'ve got a great start here (as I am only on chapter 2 and decided to post before reading the rest). The best advice I think that I can pass on is this: when you\'re writing DON\'T think about what you\'re writing, just let the words flow from your pen (or keyboard) onto the paper. Afterwards, go back and re-read what you have written. If it looks good and sounds good spoken out loud, then it must be good. Also, a good Beta tak take care of any spelling or grammer mistakes that you may have made. But go back over the piece once you get it back, betas after all are only human like th erest of us and can make mistakes. Keep up the good work and I\'m going back to reading.

I\'ve finally gotten the chance to read past chapter 2, it just took me a while to do it. It\'s a different approach to the usual SS/HG fanfics in that you\'ve decided to start right from day 1 of the first year of Hogwarts for Hermione. It\'s interesting to read the growing attachment between them, even though I\'m going to be impatiently waiting for you to get to the point in the story where she\'s actually old enough for them to interact on the level of peers rather than teacher/young student. One thing, though - when you mentioned Hermione talking to Crookshanks during her summer holidays, I thought you were going to be writing about fourth year and skipping over second/third year entirely as Crookshanks didn\'t appentilntil Hermione bought him at the start of 3rd year (PoA).

Yet another great chapter! Keep up the good work! :)

I just want to tell you that I\'m really enjoying your story so far. The details that you take into account as you craft a story that supplements and compliments the books is amazing. So often authors try to write good fics but they neglect the full range of emotion that the characters are capable of. To create a full fleshed character you must have joy, sorrow, hope, self doubt etc. and to have a good story you have to explore each emotion, rather than just introduce it and leave it at that. I love how Hermione is childlike and mature at the same time, how she takes the greatest joy at the little things Snape does, how she debates and has conversations with herself and how their relashipship and encounters are starting to effect both of them. It\'s so real. I can\'t wait for the next update! ^_^

Chapter 14... I really like the way you got this situation of them having conversations set up!!! For her to be nervous & him to be uncertain what she wanted all the way to the hug was well thought out, very realistic!!! I very much like how much her compliment hit him, so unexpected, but truly appreciated!!! I think that it was very much Snape for him to add in a condition at the end, he can\'t come off as being all soft now can he;-)

As always I look forward to your next update!!! Til chapter 15, Deb >^..^<
