I am constantly delighted by the power of the writing and the sharpness of the characterization in this story so far, and this chapter is no exception. Snapeburnburning down to the last inch of his candle and is sputtering as a result. So to speak. We are headed to a deep valley thus far, and I for one plan to ride the goblin\'s track all the way down.

More soon, please.

The way that Albus manipulated Severus was truly inspired. You are also doing an amazing work explaning the dark recesses of Severus\' mind.

I just realized that I had not reviewed. This is a really amazing story. The timeturner idea and making Hermione responsible for turning a young Severus from the dark is really an amazing thing. I am a bit worried about going forward with the presumption that the child belongs to Severus without some confirmation other than she really looks and acts like him. We all know it has to be his child, but it would be nice just to have a wizarding version of DNA testing to back it up - for a lot of reasons. I also like that Hermione is not a super model with perfect body and skin and hair that has been tamed into submission. But I have enjoyed the relationship and banter between Hermione and the child and Severus and the child most of all. It is truly a mixture of joy and frustration to raise a child who is intelligent and confident enough to challenge an intelligent parent. please keep updating regularly.

God chapter.
I love Aubrey and Fawkes.
I still find Hermione is to psycololly lly healthy, but it fits somehow. I am eager to see her encounter withj the boys, and the way they have change. Sometime you find an old friend and things flow as ever, other tiems you find out that you have nothing to share but memories.
When people return from exile after lots of year, they always tell that at first, people was really fussing arround them, but later everything settled in their normal life, they weren\'t novelty any more, and they felt like orphans, not belonging neither to the countrie where they born not to the countrie in wich they found asilum. The sad thing was that they have spent years dreaming of this new start, only to feel loneliness and disapoint. How would it turn to Hermione? How would be her encounter with the boys?

Another brilliant chapter! You know, that last day or so, I\'ve kept your author window open and kept refreshing every half hour so I\'d see the minute you updated. I have to say, I can\'t believe English is your second language, since you use it so artfully!

OK, another day of refreshing for me as I wait for the next update. Cheers! =)
