The pensieve thing was just a bit too weird for me.  But I really like Petunia and Sirius cuddling.  I'm not sure why I find it so adorable.

Oh I do like Petunia and Sirius.  There's a much better combination.  And I like this new look for Petunia.  But history is repeating itself with Severus and Harry.  Hopefully things will work out right again.  I wonder if/when anyone will realize he's the HBP.

Did we see the doll before? I don't remember mention of christmas earlier.  Dandy reinterpretation of this year.  And though he's a pain in the arse, saving Sirius was probably a good measure.  Yea!  Toad is gone!

The dogs prank was fantastic.  I really enjoyed that.  And Occulmency lessons are so much better when they have a solid foundation of a relationship to build on.  This is perfect.

I'm so happy that Lucius has stayed faithful to Hermione's friendship.  It verifies that Hermione really did accomplish her mission in the past.  My only worries are that if Lucius is not  a monster in this timeline, what incentive does present/future Hermione have to return to Severus' childhood.  These are different timelines.

As much as I enjoyed the dance, I think the duelling scene was much better.

I'm curious about the point of this chapter and how it'll play in the coming chapters.

Ach!  The pinning is just so sad.  But this chap was also filled with marvelous humor that kept it so nicely balanced.  Well done!

Very nice.  I was worried.  I gotta admit with all the niceties I was worried about how much of an opportunity there would be for any future-Hermione whatnot, but at least the script is progressing true enough. 

How sweet!  You seem to be mopping up JKR left and right.  Now maybe I'll get a decent epilogue...

Unexpected and sweet.  And it's nice to see Severus not so bitter as he started to sound.

Now this I've got to see. I'm so curious as to whether Severus' talk with Petunia will be to Harry's benefit or detriment.  I am so hooked on this fic.

Bless you for following Severus.  Just about ever timeturner fic cuts directly to their reunion.  Thank you for keeping your pacing consistent.

Crafty Hermione.  Though I was nervous that Minerva wouldn't let them get off so easily.  And it was a nice touch that she gave him the stirring rod that he has in the future, it almost makes me have hope that the Severus of the future is waiting for her.

I'm sure you've figured out by now that I read these updates  as soon as they post but it's taken me five million years to finally post a review.  Well, the reason I've been waiting so long is because I wanted you to be the recipient of my 300th review!  Woo-Hoo!  What a mile-stone and to be able to share it with you and this amazing story is frickin fabulous!  This was such a great chapter, the memory sharing was perfect.  I loved how the new Severus was finally able to see the old Severus and what Hermione had actually been talking about when she was in the past.  Very well constructed and executed dear!  Thanks for the update as usual and I'll talk to you laters.  Much Love ~ Karen

Yea!  Hermione wises up, but I still worrt for whatever future.  Yikes!

Oh no!  Whether she wants to or not those feelings are blossoming. 

Oh no Hermione, you are almost setting yourself up to be a Lily by keeping him away like that!  And atta boy Severus!  Way to protect her.

Fantastic kiss!Loving this.  And it's so nice for once in a fic to have Hermione say, 'we can't do this.'  Nice way to flip the script.

And they do flirt so well. I love how this develops!

Lots of fun, I can see why Hermione was so mirthful and it's nice to see all of our favorite characters having a normal friend's night out.

Ah, so sweet---the reactions of the _now_ "real" Severus to the "old" Severus!  I'm not so sure Robert Burns would say of this, if it "were" possible, that the ability to "see ourselves as others see us" is, indeed, a gift!  Very realistic and true to the characters--both as they "were" and as you have made them to be what they "are" , now.  (I like yours, better!--but the spice of knowing what "was" makes the sweetness of what "is" even better!)

Sigh, in one era he's much older than her, and in the era, she's 5 years older than him.  There's a world of difference and maturity between 17 and 22.  It has me worried.

I don't think he wanted to be that man either.  Truer words may never have been spoken before. Wow.  I am so happy to have found this story.  And I look forward to the slow build-up.

Aw, Severus.  Stop beating yourself up.  No wait, go ahead.  Then there will be more lovely scenes like this... Sigh!  AV
