OMG! Not one, not two but three chapters to binge read. After what has been a very hectic week finding three chapters of one of my favourite stories has been the icing on the cake. Hermionie's pain has been so real and as hard as it was to read I'm glad that's how you wrote it. It would have been too easy to just gloss over the pain of recovering from a trauma especially the non physical pain. I'm not going to lie I totally cried during that last chapter. If possible I love Snape more during these chapters.
Don't even get me started on Draco and Lizzie I'll be here all day and I've got to go to work! Draco wanting to cuddle makes my heart smile. Draco wanting to make Lizzie's first time special makes it grin.
I can't wait for the rest of this story. Even though you said there's going to be a break up and a little part of me is desparate for it not to be Draco and Lizzie. I'm not sure I could handle it.

Oh what a lovely chapter, I had tears in my eyes reading it. I am really enjoying this story, you have written it really well. Thank you xxx
Oh what a lovely chapter! I especially like their conversation at the end. Helping Hermione realize she's loved by so many people and not alone. I got a bit teary eyed.
What a good one. Finally Some action for Draco. Hurray. Poor Hermione and Severus. I just knew that she won't be able to keep it cool like she did after such a trauma. Hope all will turn out well in the end. (Don't even think of finishing the story with a sad ending. Pleeease)
Enjoying the new chapters. I'm glad to see Hermione having the reaction she is. Very realistic which is a relief because I was worried at first when you had her and Sev together the day she was rescued. This is a much more believable reaction to such trauma. Hope Sev sticks it out because I know it can be tough on loved ones too.
This is by far the best "adult fan fiction" I have read. The storey is keeping me on the edge of my seat, and I need to know more. Cannot wait for the next chapter. Love, love, love your writing.
....I think her friends can kill her attackers. I don't think killing someone automatically creates a horcrux. I think that is an INTENTIONAL thing a wizard does. So he or she would have to have an object picked to put their soul and quite possibly a spell etc or maybe it is specifically the killing curse. Molly Weasely killed Bellatrix after all, remember.
Really like the edit. I liked the chapter before, but now it seems more complete. Snape' s anguish was realistic and raw. I've said it before, but I'll say it again, you write him very well. Looking forward to the next update!
The additional 800 words was very fitting.
So here's my theory...
Okay so I was thinking if said baby was born resembling a certain blonde hair, grey eyed Slytherin, then Hermione's inability to recall Lucius's involvement wouldn't matter because it would be fairly evident and a DNA test with Draco would prove they are half siblings?
This may have been a short chapter, but it packed a lot of punch. Snape' s response to her news was very touching and I was moved. Another well written and lovely chapter!
