The two different reviews from \"anon\" were not, in actuality, from the same reviewer. Two different anons, two different reviews. If you\'ve been writing for over ten years, why is each chapter so extremely short and mostly incoherent? I did think I\'d like it to begin with, I do think the basic concept is good. and I would like to read it if you edited it. There are often people who get on here and other sites to post nonsensical stories as some kind of a joke, sort of trolling about, and when a story is posted that jumps around and doesn\'t make sense, in addition to having such short chapters, it\'s hard to differentiate between someone who is serious about writing a story and someone who is just yanking everyone\'s chain. What I find ironic is when writers who claim to be accomplished and experience authors write utter tripe get defensive at an honest opinion and then throw out \"A/N\" that flame the reviewer far worse than the reivew itself. And of course, deleting the offending reviews because you want your review box to only reflect those that are completely positive because, God forbid, you might have to take the bad with the good and then live with it. Grow up. It doesn\'t matter how old you are, get over yourself and you indignation that you will occasionally get a bad review. And as if you couldn\'t figure it out, I did want to read it until I finally got frustrated with it and the review was a pretty good indication that I have no intention to read anymore without a majore overhaul. Find a beta who can help you. Again, the basic concept is good.

I\'d like to say that, while I agree that you can deal with your reviews as you like, I can\'t fully agree with your stand on posting/archiving your stories. If you post a fanfic, you are making an invitation to the reader. If you feel that you are only writing them for your pleasure, then don\'t post them on a public archive. It\'s bad enough when a story fizzles out and never gets completed, without authors pulling stories because they don\'t like what a few people say. Having said that, I think it would be a shame for you to yank your story, as I\'m intrigued as to where it\'s going.

I must say, a rather interesting plot. Very well written, too. Please, do continue.

Ch 6-7 - hmm, I sure hope there\'s a good healing or pain-relieving potion for Severus. That sounds awful, barely moving around on that leg of his; perhaps a good long soak in a hot tub might help. Please have a nice ending for him and Hermione! Thank you for updating!!

Do you remove all posts that question you? Interesting since none of them were flamers. Criticism can help at times and you should learn to take it.

You go girl! I personally have enjoyed your story and I hope you write more. I was saddened to see you new chapter was a note, but I know that happens. Please don\'t think all readers share those views. Please keep up the great work!

Ch 5 - a real killer chapter. You did a great job in painting a picture of Severus\' post-war life. How awful, to sacrifice so much for the Light and then be wounded and suffering beyond the help of potions. They can\'t just remove his leg and use Skele-Gro (like Harry Potter\'s hand in Book 2)? I hope Hermione is able to help him. Thanks for updating!
