Fabulous. Purely Fabulous.

I can honestly say this is one of the best Hermione/Snape stories I have ever read. It was brutal and ugly, and surprisingly beautiful ames.mes. As to the argument that these people would never act in such a manner, I say: who knows why anyone does anything? Besides, to be blunt, these are fictional characters and we must treat them as such. We may give them realistic qualities and actions, but ultimately we as authors decide what they will do and say. I believe this story accomplished both; Snape and Hermione seemed very real, but any \"unrealistic\" action happened because of the limits of fiction, authorship, and language (and possibly even the limits of our understanding of human nature...sociology and psychology are theories only and never produced exact imitative results every time).

Please don\'t ever stop writing controversial matter. It makes life so much more interesting.

Wow, I wasn\'t expecting such an abrupt turn. That was unexpe. I . I thought this was a post-war story, not set during the war with Voldermort?
A very, extream story in the dramatics though. It\'s nice that dispite the last dark chapters, you pulled out a happy-ending.

Great story. Much darker than I thought it would be, but I enjoyed it. :)

it\'s beautiful.

Um, very different. Something very, very different.

For you, the message of the Holocaust might be that of tolerance: for me, as a Jew, the Holocaust was the greatest reminder of all that there is nowhere safe for me to live in but my own country (which is currently handled by a convicted criminal, and so, seems a little less safe that it should have been, but that\'s a different story altogether).

For me, the message of the Holocaust is to never forget the beast inside the human, and that the monstrosity never takes away the humanity in an individual or in a public, nor it is the other way around. For me, the Holocaust stand as a constant reminder that I should always stand on guard, always be prepared, and never feel safe. It means that the Jewparaparanoia I was probably born with is justified.

The same Jewish paranoia, and not the ability to forethought -the way you put it, Snape sees in Hermione. Whether it is a profound wisdom or not, I am not the one to judge. Jews all over the centuries were saved because they were crazy enough to prepare for every possible, scarce and unbelievable sequence, as it may be. I hardly see why a Christian would

Great story! Sensitive, clever and beautifully written. Waiting for the nchapchapter!

Once more you bring me to tears. So few can manage that. Thank you.

Considering that Jews and Christians share the same God, I find it surprising that Severus, who is obviously
