This story was wonderful! Loved every word that was carefully placed.Thanking you for being such a fanatstic writer, and I appreciate the time and effort put into this story.Loves you, Sonia :)

What a great first chapter!  I cannot imagine what Darkness is following Hermione, but clearly Severus seems to know where this reading is going.I'm looking forward to following along.Beth

so very very cool.

What a powerful chapter. And a universal truth that applies to the world in general: as soon as we fail to see other people as individuals and emphasise with them, we start thinking about "them" and "us" and confrontation ensues. This development is always at the beginning of such things as racism and genocide. Oh, to have such a mirror room for the world...

Light?  What a hopeful sign.  I am enjoying your story very much!

What an amazing chapter! Hard to find words to express my feelings. A brilliant idea to have each one see different versions of themselves in the other mirrors. Most of us are often too critical of ourselves, scrutinizing every minute flaw, selling ourselves short. And our friends and family usually see nothing wrong where we see imperfection and ugliness. When Severus acknowledged the source of its pain, apologized to the mirror and showed it affection, so to speak, it responded by healing itself? Yes? I'm assuming that something similar would have to happen for the humans to heal as well? Acknowledgement, forgiveness, love... Sounds logical to me.Pardon my ramblings and musings. I impatiently await your update.

Wow, what will they find?

I am really enjoying this story and the many layers it contains.  It's not every day that I come across a story that I think about at odd times during my day.  I will be looking forward to the next chapter ... and the next, and the next!  What a well-written, captivating story!

amazing!  most especially how you wrote about the room's awaking.  thanks you so much for this most wonderfulstory and mucho smoochies

I love this story ! it's keeping me on the edge of my seat.... please update soon. I was so glad to find you updating this story frequently as I remember I read the first 2 chapters earlier last year (2009!!) and wished you would continue to write. It's simply brilliant, and wonderfully written, with such depth of emotion and descriptives. I find myself chuckling everyso often too. I get lost in your words and imagine myself there, even I have shed a few tears too along side Severus' silent inward ones (the depth of emotion) and Hermione's too).... hopefully the Room will be healed too .... I await for your next chapter with glee.

That was simply amazing! What a great idea, to ask the Room of Requirement!I'm so glad the others welcomed Severus with open arms, but then again, I always knew they would. ;)

Outstanding chapter! I loved these lines - “We will have an after, Severus, won’t we?” “If we succeed.” He brushed his lips against hers. “If we survive, hopes for after will be largely responsible, I’m sure.” She smiled and deepened the kiss. A hope, and promise. I felt that hope and promise were strongly felt throughout this chapter. I loved how the other professors took on the challenge, making those afflicted feel less alone. Finally, I've always wondered what the results of the fiendfyre had wrought of the RoR. I like the story you are developing for it. Great job, I eagerly await your next contribution.

Review quizThe reason that I haven't reviewed this story much is:a)It has been a really hectic time of year- no time to reviewb)I have been really lazyc)This has been so good that I just couldn't stop to reviewd)All of the above If you picked d, you passed.  If you want extra credit, get the next chapter up soon!  I should give specifics of what I've liked so far, but I've  just liked it all!

Wow,  I can't wait to see what is in the room. 

Yes, staying at Hogwarts is always a good idea.Interesting chapter. I wonder if Severus' or Hermione's patronus will change after all they must go through to find themselves again.I love how much they need each other and how they don't care who is watching. But it is scary to me to see how fragile their relationship is. Part of the Horcrux effect, but frightening, none the less. If they can hold it together through the healing process, they should last forever.
