*sigh* :)  That was lovely.And great usurping of the Fidelius!

HAHAHA! I love the dialogue!! So brilliant!

Oh! I know that odd ache of know someone you once loved is moving on. But I'm sure that dinner at the Manor is just what she needs to set her right! Heee :)

Heee... I love the image of her dumping the disgusting water on Ron's head! What a great start, GT! Though I can't help but wonder when Severus will arrive!!! (Luckily for me this fic is finished!) ;)

I've loved reading this story from beginning to end today.  It was a perfect way to relax on a Sunday afternoon.I had wonder when Rose would make her appearance, and I see it will be another nine months before she greets her three parents.  Thank you for sharing this lovely story!Beth

LOL!  Uppity is a hoot, isn't she?  I hope there will be lots of babies in the future for her to care for.I hope it won't take long for Stott and Miss Carrow will be brought in before they can get up to any more mischief.  The "Dream Team" was very clever in the way they worked out who did the dirty deed, but I felt sorry for Lucius when he realized what he had done.Now it's time for Hermione to make an honest man out of Severus.  *grins*Beth

I am worn slap out!  You really know how to write tension.Beth

This is one of the most angst-produing chapters I've ever read!  Even my shoulders ache from all this tension.  Well done!Beth

OMG!  This gambit with the old rules is a daring and tricky thing.  I hope they know what they're doing...Gotta get to the next chapter NOW!Beth

That Gaius Stott is bad piece of work, but what caught my attention was his girlfriend—or wife.  Everyone seemed to think she was familiar, but didn't know who she is.  Hummm. Somthing is fishy about this.It can't be long now, not if Hugo is settling into the right position for his birth.  Hopefully Severus' allies can muster the necessary clout to assure he will not sent to Azkaban.  I don't think I could stand that.Very interesting chapter!Beth

"Just a couple of unsung heroes," Severus said, in his smooth, scathing voice. "Do go back to whatever you were doing and don't mind us; we are leaving. Hermione?"What a wonderful chapter!  I just about lost it when Severus called Hermione by name on their way out the door.  Well done!Beth

I wonder if Severus and Hermione will decide to marry and move to Hogwarts?  They could still be part of the family they'd begun at the Manor, and... well, I just wondering... it would be the perfect solution for the three of them to still be together...I think Hogwarts would be a marvelous place to raise their son.  Severus could continue his research and teach advanced Potions if he chose,  and Hermione could continue her studies into archaic curses.  They could visit Lucius whenever the hols roll around.  Voilá!  Everyone gets something they want.I really like all the possibilities you bring to every chapter!Beth

Well now...  this is working out much nicer than I had hoped.  Lucius, Hermione, and Severus can be together, meet all the conditions of the custody spell, and work on undoing the curses Hermione was working on when she first came to Malfoy Manor.  Woo hoo!Beth

My emotions were flying high when all of the twenty necessary guarantors came forward to stand for Severus' bail.  I just felt like cheering.  *\o/*   *\o/*   *\o/*   *\o/*   *\o/*  I couldn't help but chuckle at the tention between Hermione and Daphne, and the attention that she was paying to Snape.  If I didn't know better (and I don't) I think that Miss Greengrass has her eye on Severus for her own personal reasons.Thanks for this wonderful chapter.Beth

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Molly Weasley is a right bitch.

I'm glad Severus is going to carry his and Hermione's son to full term.  I just couldn't bare the thought of any other outcome.  And I like the idea of Hermione staying at Malfoy Manor.  I imagine Severus will be fairly prickly at first, but hopefully they will be able to recall what drew them together in the first place... it was just more than a desire for sex... I'd bet my wand on it.The "splinched Apparition" form of a magical delivery is a brilliant notion!  Go you!Beth

"Since when is being an intellectual sexy?" "You have no idea," he growled."Detention, Professor?""Absolutely."True!  All of it is true.  And now, without breaking the Fidelius Charm, she has managed to queue Ginny and Harry into the mix. I wonder what the three Slytherin's reactions will be when she has to tell them about that?Beth

I would loved to have been a fly on the wall during this dinner!  Eavesdropping on these conversations would have been so much fun.Well done!Beth

Woo hoo!  Snape is back!  I was tickled that he had "revealed" himself by speaking to Hermione thinking he was addressing Lucius.  Well done.They are making good progress dismantling the curses, and I can't help but wonder who the "powerful wizard" mentioned really is and why he was cursed.Hermione is gracious, Lucius has become somewhat reformed, Ron is taking good advice, and Snape is as prickly as ever.  I love it.  Beth

Great premise and great writing!  I love stories that are tied to ancient myths and legends, and if you throw in ancient languages, well, I'm totally hooked!!!  Add alchemy and I'm completely enslaved.Beth

Love the story and the tender relationship between Severus, Lucius, and Hermione which developed. :D

Uppity is a good name for her!   Still, she's given Hermione some good information. :)

Very enjoyable story.  You had me confused early on when the baby was a boy.   But a lovely tie in at the end.   Thanks for sharing!

Hee! I didn't think it was possible for anyone to have an ending that happy! I love that you kept the names Hugo and Rose. This is a brilliant story - thank you so much for sharing

I don't know how it's taken me so long to find this story, but I'm kinda glad - this way I've been able to gobble up chapters without having to wait!
