Oh my lord! After leaving the HP fandom, I thought I would never look back again. But ever since a few days ago, I was bored with my current fandom and thought to seek out my beloved Snarry again, I came across your fic....After 4 years of leaving fandom, I think I am in love once more! This fic is fabulous! It had the right amount of angst, friendship, comfort and love all in one package! I seriously cannot wait to read more from you. Your Snape is a very believable character, so very sexy, hot, and with the usual snark that I adore. And with Harry, you did a wonderful job with him. When he broke down in Snape's fireplace, I cried along. Just simply perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this! <3

I felt so sorry for Snape - he's so upset thinking Harry's homophobic and straight and now .Malfoy is going to upset him even more. Can't wait for the next chapter.

As I have not been reading this story as it's been updated, I'm only going to post to the thing that has come to my attention the most. I will say that I have enjoyed every chapter thus far.

I do like the quote you chose for the story. I've been in a situation lately that rather reflects that well, and I've considered sending it to a friend of mine. Though he's studying to be a minister, so he's likely heard it already.

Chapter 12:

I find it very interesting the quote you chose for this chapter. "A half-truth is the most cowardly of lies." Mainly because it contradicts (ironicly enough) one of my favorite scenes from *Time Enough for Love* Unfortunately I cannot seem to find the book currently, however the gist of it is that there are two most artistic ways to lie. The first is to tell the truth, but only part of it. The second is to tell the complete truth, but do it so unconvincingly that the other person will think you are lying. Though I do suppose that you can be artistically cowardly. ;) I am horrible at any form of lying myself, though I like the quote no less.

Love this story. I look for it every day. I assume he's not going to keep that promise; don't mind how long it takes to get there.

This story is amazing ! Things are becoming to move, yes ? I love the way you did Snape, Harry and their feelings are so well desbribed by Remus.

It's great. Really great.

I'm waiting for the next chapter. I think I won't get this story out of my mind for days and days...

Wow. Apparently I missed the last chapter so I had a lot of reading to catch up on.


Harry and Snape are getting sooooo close!!! x_O Its exciting and nerve racking for the potion's master like nothing he's ever experienced.
I can hardly imagine how the new school year will be so I can't wait for the next chapter.

Keep up the great work!
