I\'m sure you updated promptly, and thus I will put away the sledge hammer. I didn\'t say anything about the dagger, though. I haven\'t actually read the updates until now - damn vacation to Florida in a place with only one crappy \"internet kiosk\" that costs a quarter a minute. But anyway. I don\'t hate you. I\'m glad it wasn\'t perfect and rosy. Dumbledore spoke of a woman before he died? Gods, people are so predictable, even if they\'re incredibly powerful and blah blah blah everyone still needs to be loved and all that jazz. Excuse me, I\'m a bit bitter. I really like that Hermione refused to be just a distraction, and I can\'t wait to see what\'s in that book Dumbledore suggested...

Another nicely done chapter. I really do like the play between Severus and Hermione as you\'ve done a wonderful job. I can feel the dance behind the words and I like the delicate balance between the two that you\'ve set up...so when are you going to shatter it and make them figure things out.

All right, I know that I\'m impatient, I\'m sorry. Not.

Keep going and thank you for writing it,
T

Wow, this gets better and better. I\'m glad Hermione and Severus have made peace. I think he came as close as he could right now to letting her know how much he cares for her and I\'m glad she realized that was what he was doing. I\'m a little worried about that room, but if they can get the evidence they need hopefully they can bring Fudge down. God I hate him. I don\'t know if I hate him more in fanfic or in the actual books, but that man needs to be driven down a peg or two.

First, I have to admit that, even though I really should, I never actually take the time to review stories. This is a first for me, and that should tell you just how much I\'m enjoying your work - this is, by far, my favorite fic here. I can\'t wait to see where this story takes me!

Honey, I am back! ^_^ How are you doin? I\'m doing great.

Now, on to the latest update. I loved how you set up the dialogue for this chapter. The parts with Albus really reminded me of how my grandma was before she died--her whole conversation would be like that, totally drifting in and out of the present and the past. It\'s highly disturbing and sometimes I reacted the way that Harry did, but not to the extent of the bleeding nails. There\'s that word again: disturbing! But well... that\'s the only real way to describe the feelings you get when we find ourselves in situations like that.

Now, I\'m off to read the next chapter'll 'll have comments for that one as well. ^_^

Ciao!

AWW DAMN IT! HE DIED!

Really, that\'s exactly what I thought. Another dead on description of emo emotions in this one because I reacted the same way that Severus did--no crying or screaming, just a solemn look on my face. Hey, you didn\'t lose any cool points with me--I think what you did was great. I really do think that in this case Albus had to die. His death needs to be a doorway for another escape for them--an opening for what they really need. Y

Okay, I\'m back after a little mishap with my key board. ^_^ I\'ll just continue. *looking silly* That\'s never happened before! *a dunce cap slams onto her head*
LOL!

Anyway, I really like that this chapter was put into the story. I think that eedeeeded to be there, you know? So don\'t feel bad for putting it in there or rather the chapter for putting itself in there because it helps develop the personal relationships in the story even further.

I\'ll be back for more, hon! iao!iao!

Psst... go read my story! ^_^

Still one of my favorite stories! I don\'t care ofteoften you update--it can never be fast enough. Albus dying was a very sad moment and I errierribly frustrated with Severus and Hermione I c I can\'t wait to see where it goes. Very curious to see an explanation of \"the room\". Keep it up! By the way, Lenore and the birds reference--The Raven by Poe?

Was that an intentional reference to Edgar Allen Poe with Lenore and the birds? Or am I connecting the unconnectable again?

You are certainly not on my flame list for killing Albus... truthfully I can see it coming in the books. And I certainly aaplaud you for giving Hermione the brains for not letting Severus try to drown his grief in sex. As much as we all want to see them together, a desctructive relationship is not a good one for them.
