Hello, you know I very rarely read stories that pair hermione with anyone but Ron and especially those that pair her with Snape. But I thought I would read yours and see how it was.... Well, I was very pleasantly  surprised and have enjoyed ever moment of this story and I sure hope that you're still updating as I really want to see what happens when the two lovers are reunited in Hawaii. 

By the Gods woman you are bloody brilliant!! I have had my doubts, I could've sworn you were gonna throw Severus with the witch in the picture. I almost stopped reading, I'm so glad I didn't. I have been reading this every spare moment I have and I CANNOT wait until the next chapter!! Merlin's beard this is one of the best fics I've ever read, keep up the wonderful work!

Oh and I also wanted to mention,  that your story ALWAYS makes me so bloody hungry...

I'm off to eat...Full English Breakfast...your fault ;-)

Betz, 

Chapter 97.

Great chapter! I especially enjoyed potion master's booze-up party.  Another bastard down! Yay! ! !  I'm sure Severus will be proud.

Apart from another frustrating spot of "Fate" meddling it was a very positive enjoyable read. 

Impatiently waiting for more. 

Your Fox

Betz, 

Chapter 96. Honestly, I don't know if I hate you or love you right now. I should have known, that you'd twist the fate about. 

I have been waiting for this meeting for so long...but I suppose when they finally meet, it will be that much sweeter.  

Waiting patiently-ish

P.S. 

I have grown very attached to this story, so don't finish it too quickly.  I can't imagine my life without it.

Oh Chantal.  The title, "And They Didn't Live Happily Ever After," refers to how JK Rowling was setting up Hermione/Ron and Harry/Ginny in canon (as I started writing this after OotP and before HBP).  I knew, I KNEW years before Rowling came out and said Ron and Hermione would not be well matched that Hermione and Ron together would result in an unhappy marriage and them NOT living happily ever after.  So my title is in reference to Rowling's canon set up of these two couples not living happily ever after.  This may be a spoiler to some, but this story does have a Happily Ever After ending, though Hermione and Severus go through a lot of shit and rough times before finally being together.  But I promise, Hermione and Severus do live happily ever after, just not Hermione and Ron as canon set them up to be.

I have a bad feeling that your epic story is going to live up to the implication of its title. Way too much has gone wrong with Hermione and Severus' love story and their many chances of reunion thwarted at every turn. Looks like the fortune teller was right. Hermione has likely sacrificed her HEA with Severus in order to clear his and Draco's names. Mission accomplished, but now she has to wait bc of some arbitrary code that she can't change madters for her Potions apprenticeship, even if her original master is okay with it? No, I don't see this going anywhere than what is implied by the title. This chapter where they are yet again thwarted, yet somehow meet on another plane of existence, this time where they somehow save his life (maybe), has really sealed the deal with my expectations. I hope I'm wrong bc Hermione really has nothing she couldn't have had if she just went to begin with, or even as soon as she won them their freedom. Oh well...I guess I should've known better - it's not like you didn't warn us.

Betz, 

Chapter 95.

Thank you for updating so soon, it always pains me to wait for too long.  I've become very attached to your story. It is progressing wonderfully,  I can't wait for them to see each other again.  

Impatiently waiting for more.

Chapter 91-94.

A lot happened.  It was interesting, exciting, terrifying, shocking, funny, sweet, romantic and lovely. 

Very emotional chapters.  

Thank you

Hey.....

Thank you for posting chapter as soon as possible....... Love ya for that..... Still waiting for the much awaited reunion.. I am really smitten about this story.... Thanks again....

Betz,

Chapter 90. Amazing. Very thrilling.

"Alan bit" even more crazy, than I expected, what a bastard. Good Severus and Draco are already gone, otherwise they would be in trouble (read dead) too.

Severus and Hermione's connection is extraordinary, the way he shared her physical pain...their shared dream was scary and I wonder what is the reason of this connection being made now rather than before. Maybe she reached to him with her magic and pain...

I'm very proud of your Ron, I guess happiness makes people magnanimous.

I have to say, I don't like the fact, that it is the end of season III. It makes me feel like I will be waiting for an update for far too long. Though, to me even one week wait is too long, mind you.

Thank you

Fox xx

NOOOOO!  YOU CANNOT LEAVE IT LIKE THAT!  NOT WITH THAT KIND OF CLIFFHANGER!!

Chapters 85-89.

A lot of things happen...

"Neville bit"...Well i guess everyone has needs,  luckily they all (Neville, Hermione and Severus) realised that it was just a quick release and they all want someone else.

Now the "flowers bit" is a major fuck up! And of course Severus' vague note didn't help either. That's a lot of drama for overworked, poor, little Hermione.

And in the end " Alan bit"... I expected that bastard to cause some trouble, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. I mean, he stunned her, so what's next?  Kidnapping and rape? Hopefully Hermione will have time to use the pendant from Harry. 

This is so nerve-wracking...

So here I was waiting for the next chapter for 2 weeks, then been a bit busy and not having time to check. And I ended up with 5 new chapters to read in one go! !! I call that a treat!

And so here I was reading and thinking, that story goes smoothly with no hiccups and BAM!!!  New exciting drama just dropped on me like a  stone avalanche from the volcano on Malu. 

Betz thank you for this twist, of course I feel for them, but the story definitely gained from it. You know how to keep me on my toes :)

Thanks 

A very anxious Fox

Hey....

It's really a good story.... But please put Hermione out of her misery..... I am eagerly waiting for new chapter everyday..... Please please please put Hermione and Snape out of their misery... I am dying to read about some communication between them..... And please if you don't mind post a chapter everyday....

Yassssss.... this was wonderful!! :3 I know how she feels though I'm really surprised that my mother took the whole -have sex when you're ready- thing like, "if you want to do it, then make sure you're prepared " deal but anyway. I was like 16-17 then but I'm happy that thry settled it. I just hope they don't do anything too rash. Poor Sev.. I'm sure he didn't want to put her in any deeper shit, right? If he did, then I get that too though. I'm so excited! So close yet still so far!!
