Oh Please, are we going there again? How is it Severus' fault that that family was kissed? Merlin, Hermione is a pain. I hope we get beyond this, and when will she ever show that intellect of hers beyond business? :-)

Loving the story and can hardly wait for more.

OK - I love your story so far. I've absolutely never, if I recall correctly, reviewed on this site, just on others I read.

BUT I wanted to clarify, as a history buff's daughter, WHY families watched Civil War battles in the early days of the war.
It wasn't meant to be morbid, the people were under the assumption that the war would be A) all sunshine & daisies, having never SEEN battles, or B) over in 90 days so life could return to normal.
This was in the Plantation Days, and many assumed the battles would be fought by a "code" of conduct much like the old duels "gentlemen" would fight over a woman.
Sadly, so were the soldiers fighting those early battles.
Some regiments fell apart and the men ran in fear, retreating faster than the civilian families they came across as they went.

OK, I'm off my Soapbox now.... LOL

PLEASE continue - I find myself constantly checking for new chapters. I started reading around your adding chapter 15, and read the whole thing in I think 2 sittings so I could be caught up.

I think Severus' thunderstorm is going to have a hard time matching up to Hermione when she gets in there. Excellent chapter; we all hate the Ministry a lot, don't we? Expediency in politics is something that has to be carefully hidden or it precipitates a revolution in record time.

Aw, :[

Poor Severus. Poor Hermione.

You're right though, I do love him- even if he is a noble idiot. :P

I just dont understand, I guess. I mean, sure I get that he feels guilty... but he has a wife now. And they both have growing feelings for the other... so what? Does that mean that he is just gonna realize he loves her and -oop- "I'm done in here. Guards, could you fetch me my coat?"

Nah. I dont think he would.

So I guess that means she is gonna have to help him overcome his guilt? Most likely, I guess.

Great chapter, btw. I love seeing the other side of things sometimes. Molly's character has always cracked me up... and the girl seems like a Ron-thing to do.

Haha, I cant wait to see how that works out.

And hopefully, Ginny finds a good guy and doesnt get stuck with someone she hates.
