very good story, on how war can change a person. Along with how sometimes it does take a group to help a person, to want to help themselves.

Brilliant. That was scrummy.
Author's Response:
Thanks =))

I think he was ashamed about his past so he reacted like a wonded animal, by biting. But her knowing freed him and he was able to, finally, make peace with his past. And what a past! Wow, so dark!
It was a good story. Thank you!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for all your insightful reviews!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. Thanks for reading!!

I don't understand why is Voldemort so set in having these "parties"...he's really sick.
Date: 19 Feb 2013 2:26 PM Title: Chapter 37
That was sick. No wonder he didn't want to tell her :(((
Date: 19 Feb 2013 2:18 PM Title: Chapter 36
In a way, he pushed her to this by not telling her. But it's still not right, she's breaking his trust by doing this.
Date: 19 Feb 2013 2:09 PM Title: Chapter 35
It's like he's replacing one adiction, drinking, with another, Hermione and sex. She should know better but her emotions won't let her.
Date: 19 Feb 2013 2:02 PM Title: Chapter 34
It's good to have friends. She really needed their help to figure out what he was doing. He's so secretive. It must have hurt to find out about his meeting like that :|

greatstory
Author's Response:
Thank you!!!

Wow! He finally made it! When I first read he pensieve part I thougth everyting went to hell...I'm glad George and Luna made pushed both Hermione and Severus to the right direction.
A great story!!!!
I'll be waiting for the next SevMione you decide to write!
Author's Response:
Thank you so much for reading. I will probably do a sequel to "Mirror of Erised" next =) I also still have some stories from FF.net that I haven't reposted yet and I'll probably work on that.

This one was so hard! But this was part of Severus' past...and now, he knows she saw almost the worst of him...is she going to leave him? I hope not!
Author's Response:
What she saw was pretty bad......

The poor boy...no wonder he's so surly and bad tempered...
Author's Response:
He's had a rough time.

those cannot be his best memories if this is just the start...

Ooooohhhhh....this looks like problems!!!! Now that everything was going so smoothly....

Hi! I've been trying to read chapter 36 of Snape's story and I cannot...and been trying to post a PM but it said that was disabled due to abuse...dont tell me this is turning into FF!
Author's Response:
Hmmmm.....is it fixed now????
Date: 23 Dec 2012 12:48 PM Title: Chapter 35
Well...something has to give sooner or later. This can't go on for much longer...Severus needs to confront things. I hope, he doesn't muck things up too badly...Brilliant, TBird, thanks so much. Happy Holidays or a very happy, Merry Christmas.
Date: 23 Dec 2012 8:39 AM Title: Chapter 35
He must tell her...someday he will have to do it...
Date: 03 Dec 2012 7:31 AM Title: Chapter 34
She's not going to let him manipulate her that easily, right?
Author's Response:
She's trying not to, but it's hard when you're an enabler. He knows what buttons to push.
Date: 20 Nov 2012 2:03 AM Title: Chapter 33
Poor Severus. Still, unless he tells Hermione more about his past, she is (unfortunately) likely to keep accidentally triggering him. Someone needs to smack that man and get him back in counseling, or at least working on his issues with Hermione, even is she is too close to be a true therapist.
Date: 18 Nov 2012 10:26 AM Title: Chapter 1
Sssmoking hot, I'm off to read more Xx
Date: 18 Nov 2012 12:48 AM Title: Chapter 33
In a way I can understand him not wanting to talk about his past but then, he can't expect this kind of surprises to not happen... because she doesn't know what can trigger them...
Date: 18 Nov 2012 12:19 AM Title: Chapter 26
OooH I have lots of fantasies regarding Severus, Super hot chapter

Oh, dear. She's made a bit of a mess of it. Hopefully she can straighten it out. Keep writing. This is a very good story. Can't wait to see how it evolves.

Great chapter I love it

Oh no! Poor Severus. He never can catch a break, can he? Hopefully this will get him to stop dithering about his counseling, though.
Author's Response:
He's pretty stubborn....
Date: 01 Nov 2012 2:48 PM Title: Chapter 32
Oh my! Poor Severus. I meant to ask if we could hear more about what's driven him to drink in the first place...? I suppose we are going to find out. Well done, TBird. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the wonderful review!!

It must have been a trigger to something from his Death Eater's days...he really needs help, maybe this will push him to seek it. Poor Severus :(

Poor Severus. Not even his first time is a good story. I hope you won't leave us hanging too long--inquiring minds want to know what Hermione fantasizes about!

I'll try not to!!! I'm working on it now.

mmmmmm that...question..I hope is not going to bring more arguing....
Aaahhhhh...Ronld Weasley saying something stupid...wht a surprise!

I just wanted to let you know that I followed you over here from Archive because of this story. I've also started my own Severus/Hermione story, though yours is FAR more...exciting...so far.
I really like this story, and I look forward to reading more of it. Thanks!

I can only imagine what Severus is doing with Harry and Ronald...and why is that Ronald refused to shake his hand?
Date: 11 Oct 2012 2:00 PM Title: Chapter 29
Uh oh. Ron wasn't particularly mature when Severus arrived, was he? I think Hermione is smart not to leave them alone too long. Loved the Severus-George interactions. I also like how you set up Luna as a friend with experience in the trenches so to speak to keep Hermione on track. Hopefulyy another update soon?
Author's Response:
Ron is a git.

I think George will help Severus a lot. Hermione has to adjust in her new position as his girlfriend like Ginny said.

YEAH!!!! That's really a very good make up sex!!! YAY!!! I'm aching to read her fantasy!!!

They really have a long road until everything can be normal, or as normal as he can be. I'm sure she has her own problems, also. But with patience and love they can manage :)

Thanks! Is right now soon enough?

Hooray for daydreams about sweaty Severus! I just got caught up, and am hapy to see their relationship progressing. For all that Severus is working on (and he seems to be making some progress), I think Hermione is still wearing blinders when it comes to the relationship between Severus and Harry. She is still thinking like Harry's 15 year old best friend, and not like the therapist she is trained to be loading it all on Severus like that.
Author's Response:
She just wants everybody to be one happy family. She really is just the classic enabler.
Date: 03 Oct 2012 2:44 PM Title: Chapter 27
Oh, just been catching up and must say it's been turning out nicely.
Although Sev & Harry ... - imo Hermione needs a bit of a reality check. And implying that Severus has wronged Harry without making it clear that it cuts both way. Very bad move imo. If she keeps up with this, I worry about poor Snape.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review. You do have to admit Snape pre judged Harry just because he looked like James. It was never Harry's fault that he was a constant slap in Snape's face of what he had lost.
Date: 02 Oct 2012 10:05 PM Title: Chapter 27
ooooooppppppsssssss!!! a wrong step there! I hope it doesn't ruin everything between them...
Author's Response:
It won't =)
Date: 02 Oct 2012 5:51 AM Title: Chapter 27
He's right to get angry, she really shouldn't bring heavy subjects to diner. I'm not saying she should keep quiet, they need to talk what's bothering them, and she's at her job all day so the only time left is in the evening , but maybe after diner...

It's good that he's starting to let her into his life, especially the potion part was revealing.

Oh course you can translate it. It would be an honor. You did such an awesome job on Whiskey Colored Eyes!!!
Date: 25 Sep 2012 8:21 PM Title: Chapter 25
I'm glad they are together but I'm afraid that he won't listen to her anymore and lose himself. Maybe he'll find another counselor that will be able to help him...I really hope so!
Author's Response:
There will probably be a few ups and downs before it's all said and done.....
Date: 20 Sep 2012 11:04 PM Title: Chapter 24
I just adore this sequence in which they are telling each other how wrong it is, and how they should stop--but they aren't about to stop! Comical and sweet and very sexy all at once. Looking forward to more.
I wonder if you are a therapist. Dr Granger's talk therapy rings very true somehow.
Author's Response:
I am not a therapist...but I have attended therapy. LOL. I had fun writing that, it seemed real to me. This is really, really stupid but F-it, I want you to bad. Thank you so much for the review. I'm glad you are enjoying the story.

Yeah - the smut finally starts. :-P Great story - glad they finally got together. Thanks for writing.

Wow.... I'm in awe of this story - a work of art. It's so tragic, and I really hope it ends well for them. It's so hard to see him so broken; he's such a proud man. But, you are brilliant, and this story is amazing. I can't wait to read more. Thank you for writing!

hahaha. Hermione had it coming: she did ask! Hot. Will Severus, with all his issues, manage to turn this belly-up again? I find myself hoping that not. Being realistic I would assume that nothing, not even a new relationship can stop his self-destructive behaviou just like this...Can't wait to read how you are going to proceed with them. Please be gentle with Severus?
Thank you very much, TBird.
Author's Response:
Well his problems aren't going to just disappear.......he still has some work to do.

He should just come clean and tell her, It's a muscle relaxer. Because if you use it right that's what it is.
Author's Response:
Massage oil too...............
Date: 11 Sep 2012 6:27 AM Title: Chapter 23
Phoenix Tears. Now. That is an interesting solution to the problem :O) I must say that I have neither thought of that before nor have I stumbled across it. Creative. Hahahaha - I wish I could've see Severus face when he tries to explain the lube. Can't wait - as usual. Looks like for the moment, he feels a bit better...?
Which reminds me - I'm off to review the previous chapter which I've read but neglected to comment. I bet you can't wait...
Thank you very much, TBird
Author's Response:
If we remember from the books, Phoenix Tears cure........everything. I cannot tell a lie, I actually read it in another story and remembered it when I was coming up with the idea for this story. Yeah, he's got some 'splain' to do...or maybe he'll just 'show' her what it's used for. LOL. Thanks for the review.

Ah, the turning point :)
Author's Response:
Yup!!

So the penny has finally dropped. And Severus is reliziing he's not alone.
Author's Response:
Nope. Hermione's there for him. They just don't know it yet.
Date: 01 Sep 2012 12:33 PM Title: Chapter 21
Ah, so much to catch up on.
Well, I am all with McGonagall on this. Hermione knows enough about his background to have managed the situation better - that Snape sucks in the interpersonal department isn't anything new, after all.
Seriously, Minerva let Hermione off the hook far too easily.
Ofc I am counting on Hermione to know at least make sure he gets better ... ;)
Author's Response:
Hermione kinda freaked out and ran scared. She'll make it right in the end.
Date: 30 Aug 2012 6:16 PM Title: Chapter 21
Sounds like Hermione's learning Einstein's Theory the hard way. For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction. And I think the theory just bit her in the butt.
Author's Response:
It sure did! Thanks for the review.
Date: 29 Aug 2012 8:59 AM Title: Chapter 21
Oh no! you can't just stop here!!! Please!? I liked the way you have Minerva McGonagall intervene. It is always nice to know that a few people do care about that daft man...
Still perfect...after perhaps seeing light at the end of the tunnel only to have it switched off again...I think I can understand Severus...
Will check on an hourly basis if you are letting us off the hook :O)
Thank you, TBird
Author's Response:
I just loooooove my cliffhangers!!! Muahahahahaha. No need to check all day, I do work. I'll be working on the next chapter today at work. I'm hoping it "writes" itself like the previous chapters have been doing. The next chapter will be up sometime this week. I usually post when I get home from work, so sometime after 5 CST. Thanks so much for reading and taking the time to review.
Date: 25 Aug 2012 9:08 PM Title: Chapter 20
That would be disturbing to hear. I'm not sure how Severus is going to get himself out of this mess. Keep writing - I can't wait to see where this goes.
Author's Response:
Thanks!!!

Bad Severus, BAD! He knew better too. This is not going to go well, I can tell. Severus is more broken than I had thought. Great story!
Date: 25 Aug 2012 6:19 AM Title: Chapter 20
I want to shake her: wake up!!!! Now it's become even worse to wait for the next chapter. Is Severus going to do something stupid? Will Hermione? :O) Thank you - this was moving. You can see how his life is crumbling around him. Brilliant writing. 10 points from me.
Author's Response:
Thanks. I'm just racking up housepoints here!!!! LOL.
Date: 24 Aug 2012 6:59 AM Title: Chapter 19
"...maybe I could be good too!" That is so sad. I wish, Hermione could have zoomed in on that part of the sentence instead of why the heck he knows about the mark. But, honestly? Everyone would probably have done the same thing.
It's brilliant! Again - 10points.
I fear that Severus needs something good happening in his life or he won't be able to come back...
Thank you, TBird :O)
Author's Response:
I would have done it. In fact, I wish there really were such a thing as polyjuice potion. LOL.

That was so hot, but so sad. Poor Severus. What will he do now that he is out of polyjuice? No more relief without actually talking to Hermione...
Author's Response:
He might have to admit to her how he feels. Thanks for the review.
Date: 22 Aug 2012 6:30 AM Title: Chapter 18
That was hot! And sad! And I really, really want to shake some sense into the man! :O) Very nice writing! Thank you very much - as usual, I can't wait for the next chapter. Severus continues digging himself in deeper and deeper and I am eager to find out how you are going to get him out of this again. Well, I guess I hope you do...
Perfect. 10 points

That's kinda how it goes with alcoholics, they just keep burying themselves deeper and deeper and deeper. Thanks for the review. I'm sooooo glad you enjoyed the chapter. I was a bit worried about this one.

Oh Severus you really should listen to your conscience, imagine how hurt Hermione is going to feel if she ever found out.
Great chapter Third, even if he has been a very naughty boy ;D Xx

He's been a very, very naughty boy. He really needed to exercise some impulse control.

He doesn't think he can really have her.....
Thanks so much for the review.
Date: 19 Aug 2012 4:44 AM Title: Chapter 17
" I neither desire nor deserve Albus' forgiveness" - well, imo he actually doesn't even need it; if anything, it's Dumbles who actually has to to apologise and ask for it (as you show subsequently).
I have no doubt that Snape felt torn or guilty over having had to kill Dumbles, but even he would - could - not really blame himself for that part ...
At least Dumbles' portrait apologised but it seems just as half-hearted and self-serving as his life-long manipulation of Snape in the first place. I would hope that Snape still realises that his underlying anger about how Dumbles used him is still valid and justified (even still unfortunately self-directed).
At least he managed to stand up to Malfoy, lol. Although Lucius was a bit "obvious" there (in being a toxic friend, I mean) ;)
Thanks for the update, looking forward to the next one :)
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review.
Date: 17 Aug 2012 6:29 PM Title: Chapter 17
Whew! I was worried when Lucius showed up. What a nasty piece of work he is. :-) Keep writing. I like the way this is developing.
Author's Response:
Thanks. I'm glad you are enjoying it!!!
Date: 17 Aug 2012 1:17 PM Title: Chapter 17
Damn! Cliffhanger! Again :O( *grins*. Poor Severus. It's a good thing Albus finally spoke to him...although I would have expected a bit more of a struggle from the late Headmaster. Somehow, I can't see him asking for forgivness just like that - not with a hidden agenda somewhere...If I could write as well as you do I probably would have made two chapters out of this one. But I can't and all is well because I still like the story. A lot! Thank you very much, TBird :O)
Author's Response:
He's just a portrait, all the fight has gone out of him. LOL. I actually hadn't orginally planned for that chapter, but a lot of people were asking for it, so I added it last min. Glad you're enjoying the story.
Date: 17 Aug 2012 7:42 AM Title: Chapter 17
Well, Dumbledore wasn't completely honest. He mentions Severus's abusive parents and Severus joining up with his houesemates who became Death Eaters.
But Severus was best friends with Lily for the first five years at Hogwarts. And he was bullied by James Potter and the Marauders for being Slytherin and for being friends with the girl James fancied. Dumbledore watched Severus being bullied and being pushed into darkness by his favourites without doing anything. He even let Sirius Black go unpunished when he tried to feed Severus to a werewolf.
So Dumbledore lied through omission in his talk to Severus. Severus didn't go dark in his first year. No, Dumbledore gave up on any student as soon as they were sorted into Slytherin.
Dumbledore failed Severus. He was only a student when he was bullied and almost killed by his class-mates. And even now Dumbledore doesn't see his role in Severus turning to the 'Dark Side'?
It really shows how low Severus's self-esteem is, that he accepted this half-arsed and dishonest apology. Dumbledore used him and watched him being bullied. Sorry, but Dumbledore completely failed doing his job as teacher and headmaster. He only was the greatest Headmaster of Hogwarts when Gryffindor house was concerned.
Author's Response:
That is all very, very true. I can't stand Dumbledore or as a friend of mine calls him "Dumbledick". I think ultimately Dumbledore might feel bad for what he did, but he still feels he was right in using and manipulating Severus. So while he's sorry Severus is suffering, he'd still do the same thing all over again.
Thank you so much for such an insightful review. I wish I could have read this "before" I wrote the chapter. LOL.
Date: 17 Aug 2012 2:37 AM Title: Chapter 1
I saw this on FFN and decided to come here for the unedited version. I'm really enjoying this story so far. I definitely think that Snape would have a number of issues to work through after everything he's been through and I like that you're addressing them. To me it's a nice and realistic. As a clinical counseling student though I am squirming a little bit over Hermione being his therapist and the ethical implications of a potential relationship between them. Still I lvoe the story and I'm excited to read more.
Date: 14 Aug 2012 8:26 PM Title: Chapter 16
I'm still liking this story. Can't wait to see the Snape/Dumbledore conversation. At least, that's what I'm presuming will happen. Keep writing!

lucky me! New chapter AND bare bottoms :O) I loved this. Still one of my three all time favs. Hoping, as usual, for quick updates. Thank you very much.
Author's Response:
LOL. I couldn't resist Snape flashing a little flesh at her just to embarrass her. It just seemed like something he would do. Glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks for reading!!
Date: 11 Aug 2012 1:01 PM Title: Chapter 16
Oh, nice new updates!
Mind you, I have to wonder why Hermione blushes when she sees Snape's chest or backside? The way I understood the story timeline she's way in her 20s by now, so hardly a blushing virgin or teenager. I can't believe any adult woman would still blush about nudity, would she? At least not where I live lol.
So, Snape is not totally ignorant of Lucius "Bastard" Malfoy, is he? I wonder what Lucius will come up with next, though. You said he still has an axe to grind ..
And next stop is Hogwarts, Dumbles's portrait? I really hope that Snape can and will give him a piece of his mind :)
Thanks for updating so quickly!

Thanks so much for your review. I'm 47 and I still blush, particularily if it's involving a man I am really, really attracted to, but have never been "with". Not only can HE make me blush, I can make myself blush. Hermione's had some sort of "attraction" to Severus since she was girl, even if she doesn't want to admit it to herself. Even though she's his counselor now, in her mind he will always be "Professor Snape". To suddenly see these previously "forbidden" parts of him is arousing, scary, exciting and a bit 'naughty'. I just know if it were me, I'd be red as a tomato.
Yes, I imagine Lucius is not quite done tormenting them. I really hate making him such a jerk in this story, but I just really needed someone to be the "toxic friend" in this story and he fit the bill. Thanks again for reading. I am so glad you are enjoying the story.

Squeees! I found you! When you disappeared from the purges on ff.n I had no idea where to find you again. I recently found you at AFf/ In your AN's you mentioned posting at all three sites. So I checked with my old friend Google and I was able to track you down. I read this whole fic through in one go and so far and am loving it. I love the Hermione in the role of counselor and poor Severus, he's just so damaged (and why wouldn't he be after the horrors he's lived through!). I hope there will be a happy ending eventually, I love your writing and can't wait to read more. :) (PS: I'm magalena on ff.n )

I LOVE to hear that people are finding me. I felt bad too, but there was nothing I could do, just one day my account was gone. I tried to write a "bread crumb" story....but, no one picked up on it. LOL. Well I'm glad you found me. I'm glad you're enjoying the story, I'm having a blast writing it. Yes, he is just so very damaged. It's going to be very hard....on both of them.

Whew! You did a great job with the Pensieve memories. And, yes, sometimes Lucius does have to be the bad guy - after all, he does such a great job at it. :-) Thanks for the new chapters. This is such fun to read. Keep writing!

You are spoiling us with updates. Poor Hermione--Severus is feeling no pain right now, but she has to pick up all the pieces. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

I know I'm spoiling you!!! And I would have spoiled you again, but for some strange reason my netbook didn't charge, so as I sat down on break to write, my battery died. I kept on writing, long hand, but now I have to re type everything. Hopefully I'll get it worked out before the end of the week.

I love the character of Mrs. Havry that you've created. She is believable and it's nice knowing that Severus had some that loved him when he was little even if it was only for a little bit.

Oh, Lucius! What a naughty man. Great chapter!

What a heart-breaking story! Poor Snape ...
Just getting the toxins out of his body won't be enough though ... Will he still be in denial after he wakes up?
And the "Abracadabra" bit even maked me lol. Still fighting the old battles. His poor soul really had to handle way too much already imo. So good thing everyone is giving Hermione a bit of a push there ...
Although I am a bit dubious about her getting into a "fixing Snape" thing ... He deserves better than that.
Thanks for the (quick) updates again :) You ARE spoiling us, you know ;)

Thanks so much for the review. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story. So far you are the only one who mentioned the "abracadabra". I was trying to think of something that sounded like "Avada Kedavra" and there it was, it was just too perfect.
Of course Hermione's going to try to "fix" Snape, she a classic enabler. She can't help herself. But he's very, very damaged. It may be harder then she thinks....
