That was a hard chapter to read. Very, very beautifully written. So well written, that it hurt badly, because I could feel the emotions right along with her.

You truly are an amazing writer. I bow my head to you for your courage to tackle such a difficult story line.

Tears make it hard to type - I needed two tries to review...

Chapter 9 is awesome! I cried all over my laptop, and now my keys are sticky. I would ahve to say that this fic is a little outside the comfort zone of most people, or at least I would hope so. Well done, and thanks again for your review and kind words.

I really don't see how you are going to get these two together in 30 chapters. I see the feelings and the wants more and more in each chapter but, I really don't see either of them making the necessary moves to be together. I am almost wanting to yell out what needs to happen between them but, alas they are not real and they can't hear me. So here I sit a little fustrated but patienly waiting for the next update. The MRI was negative but, she has a cyst that may be causing her vision problem so I hope this gets resolved quickly thanks for you kind words. Til next time well done!!!

I hope Ron really is working late or he's not finding comfort in someone else xxx

I am glad Hermione has a great friend in Lucius xxx

This was so sad!! It shows the strength of a great author when they can make readers weep after reading words on a page.

Chapters 1-9

Wow, that's all I can say. The thought of these two lonely people reaching out to each other is just wrenching to me. I loved the way you wove their pain together in the first chapters, and the way they opened up. It was as if the words were yanked from them, rather than them having a normal conversation. They needed each other.

I didn't once think the story condoned adultery. It is a story about the end of relationships as well as the beginning of one. Sometimes things happen that aren't neat and tied up. Of course, it would be better for them to wait, but it's not what they need at the moment.

I am not a fan of angst for angst sake. This story is not angsty in the teenaged sense. It is a thoughtful look at what could cause two people to be drawn to each other, despite the bond they share with others. I love this, and I actually think this is the best story that you have written so far. (Yes, I have read them all, even if I don't review all of them.)

Great job.

Oh, and I'm a groomer. There was some dog terminology in one of your chapters that was incorrect. Hounds bay when excited, not yelp. Yelping connotes pain to a dog person. You also misnamed your spaniels. They are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, people who own them call them Cavs. They really were never bred for hunting. They are a breed developed in King Charles court to be lap dogs and to set at his feet. He was quite fond of them. They may have hunted at the time, but the are no longer considered a hunting breed. Lucius might have some terriers. They are used in hunting and are quite good a bringing prey to ground. Fox terriers, West Highland White Terriers, Lakeland Terriers and Airedales would be good dogs for him, although they do like to mix it up with each other.

Okay, I know you don't really care, but I thought I might impart useless information for your further edification. Sorry. I can't help myself sometimes. T

OMG!! Thank goodness I had a box of tissues next to my bed. This was such a sad but beautifully written chapter. Absolutely fabulous story.

I squeed when he said that ending sentence.

I just want to hug 'Mione and lick Lucius. Is that bad?

Looking forward to more!

Love, as always.

I'm really enjoying Hermione and Lucius' developing friendship. I can buy into Ron grieving this way, and possibly laying blame with Hermione. Men, even fictional ones, with self esteem issues are draining. Thanks for the update, I look forward to your next. :)
