What a wonderful story so far!

Excellent installment. I love that wizards and witches raised in muggle environments deal better with Hermione's power. Both Snape and Hermione are really cool here.

I still really adore this story. I can't think of anything detailed to say, but I just love it.

I wonder about her little boy as well. Also what was all that about Snape checking out Harry?! I loved that last bit of dialouge between Hermione and Snape very touching :)

Snape was checking out Harry! I don't want to think about that if this is an SS/HG story.  Shoving that out of my head, Hermione seems to be healing well and she will be protected by special clothing, which will also protect those around her, but I would think it would still be painful for her to remain at Hogwarts inside the castle (eventually).  I am so curious about her "little boy."  Is he her biological son, adopted son, or just a special boy in her village?

Good chapter.  I have to admit you are weaving quite a tale.

Southern magic seems to be considerably more ritualistic and formal. I'm enjoying the way this story is slowly unfolding.

great chapter, I got a bit uneasy on the surgery, but that's because I'm nervous anyhow.

I truly enjoy reading about this different kind of magic. Very interesting, and captivating chapter!

O I am so glad you updated. Just yesterday I was thinking about your story and hoping you'd tell all of us soon how Hermione was doing. And what a story it was.. very clever of Snape to transform the curse this way, he really is good at thinking out of the box.

And I do like the interaction between Snape and Hermione so much that I think it's a little bit a pity you have labeled your story as mystery and adventure since IMO they are made for having some sort of romance together as well.  

waouh! This improvised surgery has left me speechless.

cooooooool.wow, I wonder...is Snape actually a girl under all that black??

Wow ! What a chapter, so angsty and so captivating. I so totally like your story that I can't keep my eyes off of it. I love the way that Snape takes care of Hermione. But I wonder who's that person she meets in her dreams? I hope to find that out shortly.

I loved this chapter, but I was away for a few days so I have to re read from the beginning to make sense of all this.

I like protective Snape.  I love that Hermione's training allows her to appreciate his care without embarrassment.

This was a great installment.  Thanks for posting. 

What a dreadful dream! I'm glad Severus was there. But what about "him"?

I've been guilty about not reviewing every chapter. I want you to know that I love love love each and every installment. This was amazing. She was gone for 3 hours! I can't wait to learn 'where' she is going and how it affects the whole story. I wonder if when all is said and done Snape will go back down South with her. I can't wait for the next update!

Thank you.

I have decided that Hermione's interactions are spiritual in nature, and that 'He' can be loving and vengeful. Her growing connection with Snape seems a soulful one. Each understands the other on a level unknown by those around them: friends, colleagues, society, and perhaps Wizarding Britain. I am not sure where the "South" is, but my guess is that it is not part of the UK.

I've been devouring this story as soon as the chapters come up. The imagery and expressions of this story are incrediable. Well done :)

I am amazed at the poetry and romance of this story. The illusion of Harry falling into the abyss is perfect. I have tons of questions for what will happen but I'll eagerly await for the next update.

Ah, interesting relationship that is developing there. 

Very nice and interesting story hoop you'll update soon.. O and Hermiones dislike of magically prepared food reminds me of people who dislike microwave food..

Another thought - and I do love this story.  There is, perhaps, unnecessary repition. 

Having heard Snape explain, to the mediwitch and the headmaster, why the magic healing was not working as it should, it may not be necessary to have had Snape explain it to Hermione.  She might have expected such a thing on her own, and Snape quickly confirms it.  Also, having Snape criticize the nurse/aid for starting to use magic to dry the floor could happen earlier in the scene, causing Hermione to realize the problem, if she hadn't already.

Just a thought.  You may have a purpose of which I am not aware. 

I love Snape's tenderness and reverence.  The dialog is top notch and I can't wait for more.  

I'm enjoying this story very much. (Really liked the spectacle of the magical medical staff not knowing what a sponge bath is!) It has a very unusual and imaginative perspective. I'm not entirely clear on what is going on with some of the animal/nature imagery in this chapter, and some of the shape-shifting that seemed to be going on during the battle with the Death Eaters. But it also seems that those things are all part of the mysteries that are being unraveled as the plot develops, and it's a very intriguing story.
