Very thoughtful chapter...And a nice finish there. (As always with a cliffi just when I have to stop!)Severa

It partly seems a bit like they're on a trip to destroy each other...What stroke me as interesting was that Sevi, used to living down in the dungeons and feeling comfortable there, goes up on the Astronomy Tower and Hermy, used to living up on a tower and feeling comfortable there, goes - eventually - down to the dungeons. That has a nice dynamic to it.Severa

great ending, i loved the whole story!  i especially loved how bossy Winky was in this chapter.  i'm going to miss this story!

An absolutely lovely ending to a wonderful story.  I hope you muse blesses us again.

Yummy! This is so delectable.  It is progressing so very well. Your Draco is so deliciously smarmy. Your Severus so torn, so ambivalent. This is better than almost all of the romances on the market. Thanks for a delightful read.

Interesting chapter - I loved all the content from her working on the objects to Draco's confrontation - it had so much going on but it was all good - Good work

First off, nice banner!Okay, I don't know what to say, I laughed so hard I almost wet myself! Hermione does the most outragous things in this fic! I can't believe Snape hasn't had a stroke by now. That's not something a husband sees every day, returning to home and hearth and there is your wife, naked and checking out her own money shot!Priceless!Livvy

I really enjoyed that chapter, and I love the relationship between Hermione and Severus.  And I'm glad her mother forgave her. 

That was beautiful. Stupid fucking Malfoy. How Slytherin of him--getting revenge for having what he missed out on rubbed in his face, so he responds by trying to scare Hermione by preying on her secret fears and making it seem like logical sense. Prat. Part of me wants to see Draco...maybe not redeemed, but not condemned forever. But I just don't think he can be a nice person. I think even if Severus had had his way and Draco was sorted into Ravenclaw, he would still have been a bastard.But Snape comforting her and those soft words slipping out--and freaking Hermione out, inadvertantly playing on the doubts Draco planted--were just great. And I keep thinking, if it's taken 48 chapters to cover 3 weeks, and you're going to Halloween...this surely must be a monster! Are you going to speed through a few weeks/days or keep to your current pace?

Lovely chapter! I am so enjoying this story. Thank you!

Oh my... What a mess....So his 'feelings' for her are only because of the magic...?I wonder if he can fight against this ... and become cold again...Severa

Yes, what has she done? I'm a little out-of-the-picture here......It's been SUCH a long time...Now, after reading this, I wonder how I could stand such a wait! But I was so utterly busy...He is truly a Potions Master... *sigh*Severa

That was just....beautiful.  Thank you so much.

What a lovely ending!!! This is one of those fics you hate to see ending. Marvelous job!!

i have TOTALLY enjoyed reading this story, and I can't beleive that it is finished...thank you for taking the time to write such a beautiful story....

Thank you.  What a wonderful ride this has been.  Your pen has provided a fun, moving, and intense story that has tickled, amazed and touched me at various turns throughout.  I am sure you have heard this in many reviews, but you rock!  This journey was a rare delight.  And while I will miss getting more, I know it is time to move on.  Your imagination if fertile and your writing extremely skillful.  I hope to see you continue posting in the Potter universe.  Good luck and thanks for sharing your talent.  JoAnne

Wow! Simply...Wow!!I'm so sad it's over..but so happy with the end Teriffic job!

Winky was great, and Gussie sounds really awkward, which is just perfect! And of course, the image of Severus with the baby is so vivid in my head. A beautiful ending to a wonderful story; I can't wait to read something new from you. *grin*

A wonderful, beautiful, funny, happy ending. It's been an absolutely amazing trip, and I'm so very glad you've shared it with all of us!(Although I'm now more certain than ever that I'll never want to give birth. ;-) That was one awesome and very realistic sounding description. I'm so glad it all went well.)

I LOVE this chapter! The way that Severus just takes over and controls the situation is fabulous. The way he presses his advantage, such as with the kiss just as the Headmaster's office door opens, is sure brilliance. I believe Hermione has just begun to recognize his tacticle skills as he manages to get her to quit her justification of the situation with a tug on her hair (tee hee). The tension between him and George Weasley is palpable. Then the realization by Hermione that the sealing kiss may have been more than what was needed is too funny. The witty dialogue and the sheer urgency of the story have me pulled in and hurtling along for the ride with Severus, Hermione and the rest.

Nice delivery, well it went well all considering. I loved Winky in this.Great story. I enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful and gripping description of the labor and birth of the baby girl.  I am crying my eyes out. Each and every chapter has been a wonderful adventure.  Enjoyed the evolution of their relationship and now they're parents!  Thank you.

How bitter-sweet -- the first fan fic I ever started has come to an end!  You did a fantastic job throughout and kept me anxiously checking for updates.  I have consequently ready MANY more.  None so awesome as this!

Ahhh. Another completely satisfying, emotional chapter!I'm so happy for you! I'm glad you got nominated, and you definitely deserve to win!~Katie

Lovely! More, please?
