That was a chapter worth reading twice. I loved your analysis of Dumbledore and his feelings on his chess pieces. Simon will eventually have to reveal himself. He can't hide behind a name and expect Hermione not to look.

the last two letters were quite telling about how these two see each other and themselves in relation to the other person. Simon's letter was particularly unsettling. He reveals too much of himself and not enough. His motives, I believe,even to himself are contradictory.

The new chapter was a treat.

I love this story and the way in which you chose to write it. Letters are so much more intimate. People are more willing to write in a letter that which they would hesitate to say out loud, and the same holds true for our favorite characters. Our "Simon" would never reveal how he feels about Dumbledore, let alone his preferences for reading and drinking, and Hermione's suggestion to try a bubble bath? It would never pass her lips if she were standing in front of "Simon"; but in letters, it seems those barriers are easier to climb across. I am eagerly awaiting the next series of correspondence, hoping for more personal bits to surface and perhaps a suggestion to retrieve a book in person? Hmmm, lovely scenarios are filling my head. Thanks!

J'adore simplement votre histoire, je la trouve tr

Another great chapter. I look forward to reading the next one to see if Hermione will begin to figure out that Simon is Severus.

OMG OMG OMG!!!

She is going to know who he is in a second!

You must update immediately! Please!

This is bloody brilliant!!!

Another beautiful chapter. Severus' reflections on his life were quite wrenching juxtaposed against Hermione's complaint of coddling. I love Yorrick also. He's the best bird.

it's hard to express how fabulous this story is. The characterizations, writing, just everything. Thank you!

An excellent chapter. I look forward to reading more.

I am really enjoying this story. How long will it take for brainy Hermione to figure out who "Simon" is- or at least generate a list of possible suspects? Or will he have to confess? At least now she knows he's no "Grandpa".. lolol!!

Brilliant and lovely. Thank you.
