Victory is mine!!! I have finally caught up to the newest chapter truth be told I was worried that by the time I caught up the story would be over and I wouldn't be able to tell you just how much this story has consumed my life for the past week or so. Literally up till 3am reading it, reading in class just everywhere!! I really enjoy this story I like how they are still going to school but they are all adults love how you make the characters so human!!!!! Along my journey of catching up I had so many questions.....but I have forgotten all of them! Thanks so much for an awesome read ill be checking up for updates :)

"Love is selfish." Yes! That whole line you wrote about Love is so true it's epic. I've never heard or read it described that way but Yes...that's it. That should go up there with the most memorable quotes of all time!

So I have been diligently following along since the beginning, but I willingly admit I am a horrible reviewer. This chapter, though, wrung it out of me. So emotional! Spectacular. I can't wait to see what happens. I truly love that this story is so much about Hermiones growth as a person through trauma and finding both strength and weakness on the other side. I love the complexity you have brought to this story. Thank you for writing.

I hope I didn't frustrate you with my worrying! I will say that even though I wouldn't be thrilled with the end result if they didn't end up together, that you still have written one hell of a story. I have never written more reviews to a story before this one and I've enjoyed reading it the whole way!

Oh, this pair is so broken. It almost seems like they are meant for each other because they are both so lost. I was happy to see Hermione make some progress and allow herself to think about her life's turmoils. It was as if the fact that Voldemort was still alive still was holding her and everyone else back even though for most of the time they didn't even know it. Once she purged his last remaining essence it has allowed them all the hope that they can move on.

I felt almost sick for Hermione when the burns were discovered. She already has scars and has endured so much pain, but the thought that her entire body could be scarred forever was such a sad thought. Her outer appearance doesn't doesn't define her, but no one deserves that. It was a big relief that the scarring will heal.

I did think that it would take some huge act of redemption for Draco to be forgiven. The story has had so many chaotic and hurt feelings all along that I didn't think cooler heads would ever prevail. It figures you would trip us up now and let honesty and calm come into the picture! I think that I am happy with Draco's remorse but he must still be broken inside. Neither one of them seems to know how to live their life now that their old ones have seemingly come to a close. I think I could deal with them not ending up together a little easier after their chat (though still hoping they can make it!). Still, even though they had a bit of closure from the recent fallout, it seems like they will still need each other moving forward. Maybe if they can start fresh with a clean slate they can learn to live their new lives together. I guess we will have to wait and see!

Thanks for the great writing again and I can't wait to read the conclusion!

It was amazing, and yet not. Who would have thought a wheelchair would make such a difference, oh well. This chapter is amazingly tragic. I don't want this to come to an end even tho it must, hopefully you'll have something else up your sleeve. I don't know what else to say considering I am a little shocked as to how that whole thing worked out.....I guess I will wait and see.

I got really happy when Draco went to find Hermione and then you just destroyed my happiness with the ending omg. The suspense is killing me but I shall continue reading until the end, whatever the ending may be. :')

I don't think I took a breath the entire time I was reading that chapter! Your writing in this one is so visual! Does anyone else here wanna slap the piss out of Draco and tell him to pull his head out of his ass?!
