    The more you write the more I like it. The study of guilt and sin. It reminds me a bit of a Russian writer's work called 'Felony and penalty' (I'm not sure about the title it's my own rough translation and not from the original. But it was written long time ago by Fiodor Dostojewski)Hope it will only get more interesting and 'real' (at least as real as ff can go :D)
    Take care,
    Belle

    Yes, my holidays were good, thank you!

    So, one more step taken in their relationship... I wonder how long it will take Severus to wvercome his guilt. At least enough to want to be fee from prison. Only somebody without a soul and concious could feel completely guilt-free after killing somebody. Be it because the person in question wanted it, in self defence or as murder.

    Merc killing is a very difficult subject, although I would plead in favour of it if a dying patient in pain asks for it. It doesn't make it any less dificult.

    Now, Hermione only has to learn to accept the fact that her hsuand is guilty and innocent at the same time. Quite a lot to carry, especially in a not so much wanted relationship!

    Oh wow... I could almost feel the emotion coming from Severus as he confessed all to Hermione. Awesome chapter! Wonder what she will do next though... he's left her with options but not many choices.... interesting that she said she couldn't wake up to his face each day. I thought she was starting to warm to him!

    So it isn't Dumbldore's death he is atoning for, it's all of them. That's an impossible goal even for an emotionally damaged man. Talk about a strayed sheep. I think he should realize that Albus the saint has a lot more penance needed than he does. Above all else, both Harry and Severus were pawns for both sides, nothing more. Albus took a way out that was both convenient and useful, that's all.

    I can totally see both sides of this argument. I mean if it was me, ordered or not, I would feel guilty. A life taken is a life taken. Look at people who get into car accidents which result in someone dying. Some people never recover from that. I can't totally fathom what it would be like to basically be forced to kill someone. To knowingly do that. Anyway, fantastic update, I can't wait for more!

    Hi there. I haven't reviewed in a while, but I am still reading and enjoying. I had to comment on this chapter as it was the first time I'd ever given any thought to what happened to all those that would have been kissed. That was brilliantly done. And, I believe, regardless of his feelings on spellotape usage, she is about to make him rethink his stance on punishing himself and hiding from the world. lol

    Thank you,

    Not only would they gather on the edges of battlefields to watch but in various wars and cultures throughout history families would march into war with their soldier. Often wives and small children could be found in the camps living in tents or wagons that were set up to be just like a home. In the same vein, it wasnt that uncommon in humanity's not so distant past to punish an entire family for the sins/crimes of one. Bedlam often housed entire families, of course most of the time it was because some greedy noblemen sought to be free of his wife and children and had her declared mad and his offspring, primarily the females, along with her so that he could have the marriage annulled by the church.(men are such pigs)


    Modern day penal programs have been designed for the maintenance of the family. Conjugal visits, overnight stays etc. In fact i recently watched a documentary on programs for women inmates with young children or who are pregnant. It offered them the chance to have their babies with them provided their sentences were of non-violent origins and no longer than a year. They lived in apartments rather than cells and got to keep their children with them. Daycare was provided for them while they attended parenting classes and life coaching sessions. At the time of the documentary the results were incredible. These women got out and made new lives for themselves.


    Now, how does this ramble relate to your story LMAO.....well it brings to mind certain questions doesnt it? As an avid Snape fan I of course want him free and happy, and most of all ALIVE. But then I look beyond WHO it is and think about what he is there for. Murder. Do murderers, pedophiles, rapists, abusers....do they have a right to luxuries? Do they have the right to have magazines, cable television, access to the internet etc? Should violent criminals be treated the same as non-violent criminals? Should those whose crimes are severe and evil enough to warrant life sentences or death row be allowed to live them in comfort? Now seeing as Snape is innocent and everyone KNOWS this, his luxuries are more than warranted....but what if?


    Ok, enough, i apologize, i tend to go off on rants. =)


    Happy Writing!

    Long time since I dropped the last review... Well, I had to profit from my holidays, right?

    Loveley updates, although I must admit that I don't quite understand why Hermione reacts so badly to the fact that Severus is innocent. Okay, I get that she's probably terrified at the idea that he might get out of Askaban at one point. After all that is exactly what she did not want in the beginning.

    On the other hand, shouldn't she be happy that he's not the cruel murderer she thought him to be? Well, maybe I do understand why she's upset. Plus she probably does beat herself up in proper Hermione-style because she misjudged him so severely. That would just make sense for a woman like her.

    You starteled me with the Methodist church. I had to look that one up, I wasn't aware that it was actually common in England. Thought it was more a US thing. It stroke me as funny actually, that one of the main groups in England are part of the "Wesleyan Methodism". Reminded me of our favourite redheads. You never stop learning, I am probably more catholic than I thought (and thus quite a bit ignorant about the different protestant Churches).

    Sooo... Wondering what she will tell snape now, after she knows what happens to all the others. He might be in for a small shouting match, I guess!

    This chapter really got to me. What a waste of human life and so pointless... The adults I understand, but the children? Severus is in for it. And Hermione has another campaign in the works I think. Always great reading this story and it gets better all the time :)
