I am finding this story fascinating , fiction and art in general are not required to be moral but to be true and I find this story very true. Neither character are the people they were at the time of the r. In. In fact , right or wrong, Hermione seems to be basing everything she can on this hope , it\'s very human of her . Might not be smart but it\'s human.

It also seems to me to be a story about not being a victim of circumstances but choosing to wrest some degree of control over the things that have hurt us. In making her rapist her lover Herm is is putting him under her control. In Snape\'s moment of utter demoralization he sees he has become his abusive rapist of a father , in becoming lovingly ( as much as he is able at least) involved with Hermione and Aubrey he strives to be something more.

When Hermione left the UK she was denying what had happened to her by leaving her entire life behind. Even in returning she denies the truth to her daughter , willfully molding Snape into a bearable father for her child . Is all of this , or indeed any of it ,the best course ? I think that\'s a question for readers to surmise. I think the real duty of the writer is to write the question well . After all , shouldn\'t art move us to ask questions rather than repeating comfortable truths?

As the child of a holocaust survivor , Snape\'s position on Easter is familiar to me , although I would say the wizards we are exposed to canonically are only Christian in the broad cultural sense , and then only the Muggleborn.


looking forward to reading the rest of the story

Well, they always say that you know you\'ve hit it big when people start spoofing you. I guess that makes you infamous. ;c)

I knew something was up! The last chapter was way too fluffy... Er well, fluffy for this story. Please don\'t let Ginny and Aubrey die! That would be just awful! This fic is dark enough! Have Shacklbolt kick the bucket. He\'s expendable! They were gonna do him in anyways!

Truth be told I kept seeing updates of this fic on a Yahoo group I belong to. I thought by the title it was some impossibly romantic dribble and didn\'t even bother to look a. Th. The groups have made such a stink of it that I decided to see for myself. Your writing I must say is very good. I\'m torn with the premise that Hermione would willing have sex with Severus even if he\'s a changed individual. Your story is so well written that I have been sucked into it whether I agree with the premise or not. I also don\'t like the idea of exposing the child to such a father. Praise should be given to you however for the spunk you have shown by updating such a controversial story. I feel that even though a lot of us don\'t like the theme of this fic, it should NOT be removed from the site just because of that reason. Freedom is an important part of this country and it should remain so.

Another good chapter. I see the homestretch of the story in sight with the kidnappings. Poor Molly. Poor Ginny and Aubrey. Severus, Hermione and Harry would be truly broken people if they were to die. I liked Severus\'s reactions to Aubrey\'s kidnapping. The catatonia (sp) Severus experienced was interesting. The depths of feeling for the girl are being realized now. Now all they need is a concrete plan. Hermione needs to let her inner lioness out now (to fight for her child). If only she was proficient with her magic again.
Write more soon please. I always enjoy it.

Ie the this story very much. It seems to have stripped away all the pretenses that most hg/ss fanfics have. It makes it more real. This fic is very deep. To have Hermione respect a spy/professor Severus. Then to go back into time and get raped be a 20 something death eater Severus. Back to present day a present day Severus where she gets physically intimate. Is quite a challange to write. You have pulled it off well.

I do hope you continue with what you orginally have instead of what you might change because people are giving you a hard time.

I have to say this:

Denali 2004-03-24 id # 169397 who reviewour our fic is not the person with the registered name Denali. Just so you know.

typos or not...its brilliant. thanks.

I love your story and the frequency that you update! Please keep up the good work! I just love the complexities of the characters.

I\'ve just realized what this entire story reminds me of. It makes me think of a particular song, \"stripped\" by Rammstein. Whenever I read the poems you give your interpretation of Snape to recite or use, I always think of this line:

\"Let me see you stripped down to the bone.\"

It\'s captivating. Thank you - for the epiphany, for the story, for all of it.

I r thr this to you. What spelling errors? How can anyone even notice them for the power of the story?
