Not only would they gather on the edges of battlefields to watch but in various wars and cultures throughout history families would march into war with their soldier. Often wives and small children could be found in the camps living in tents or wagons that were set up to be just like a home. In the same vein, it wasnt that uncommon in humanity's not so distant past to punish an entire family for the sins/crimes of one. Bedlam often housed entire families, of course most of the time it was because some greedy noblemen sought to be free of his wife and children and had her declared mad and his offspring, primarily the females, along with her so that he could have the marriage annulled by the church.(men are such pigs)
Modern day penal programs have been designed for the maintenance of the family. Conjugal visits, overnight stays etc. In fact i recently watched a documentary on programs for women inmates with young children or who are pregnant. It offered them the chance to have their babies with them provided their sentences were of non-violent origins and no longer than a year. They lived in apartments rather than cells and got to keep their children with them. Daycare was provided for them while they attended parenting classes and life coaching sessions. At the time of the documentary the results were incredible. These women got out and made new lives for themselves.
Now, how does this ramble relate to your story LMAO.....well it brings to mind certain questions doesnt it? As an avid Snape fan I of course want him free and happy, and most of all ALIVE. But then I look beyond WHO it is and think about what he is there for. Murder. Do murderers, pedophiles, rapists, abusers....do they have a right to luxuries? Do they have the right to have magazines, cable television, access to the internet etc? Should violent criminals be treated the same as non-violent criminals? Should those whose crimes are severe and evil enough to warrant life sentences or death row be allowed to live them in comfort? Now seeing as Snape is innocent and everyone KNOWS this, his luxuries are more than warranted....but what if?
Ok, enough, i apologize, i tend to go off on rants. =)
Happy Writing!

Hi there. I haven't reviewed in a while, but I am still reading and enjoying. I had to comment on this chapter as it was the first time I'd ever given any thought to what happened to all those that would have been kissed. That was brilliantly done. And, I believe, regardless of his feelings on spellotape usage, she is about to make him rethink his stance on punishing himself and hiding from the world. lol
Thank you,

A good latest chapter to the story, and unfortunately.... a lot of people seem to think this way, that the children of people who have done something 'evil' are just as bad as those people. I've seen it with the children of rapists and the way that they are treated by others who know what their parent or parents did, I've seen it with the children of murderers.... and it disgusts me every time, because by marginalizing those children you are almost GUARANTEEING that they will become like their parents.... though that is really the point in most cases.
Really, if this was a real story, and I found out that this had been done....... the people who had done this would have had more to fear from me than ANYONE else, even their imaginary 'gods'. I would make their lives a LIVING hell and stretch it out for the next 40 years..... and at the end of that time, I would damn well find a way to DESTROY THEIR SOUL FOREVER in order to keep their soiled spirit from going on into the next life.

Apollina dear!
I love an innocent yet long-suffering Snape, it just adds another black-wool layer to the Snark Master. I'm horrified at Mulciber's family, but was a bit curious about the name. I didn't think you choose it randomly, lol.
Now, Hermione has a cause much larger than her ill-fated SPEW. But, will Snape cooperate?
Sorry for not reviewing more often. I forget to log in then become easily distracted but pretty butterflies or offspring trying to kill each other.
Keep it up, girl.
PS - I wholeheartedly agree for throwing some plot in with the porn. Otherwise, the whole porn without plot category, while it has its appropriate moments, would take over everything, like the Blob.
