Well that is very powerful stuff. The mental anguish is tangible and you just want to see these marriages buried and done rather than see the participants continue this half life. Well done

Lavender\'s memories were horrific but the whole scene where she was stopped mid-Avada by AD whilst SS lay unconscious and injured was fascinating. Enjoyed HG\'s moral dilemma with Calleo and the dreams were interesting. Both GW and HG must be beside themselves with the futility of their marriage counselling - those marriages ain\'t going nowhere!

Great stuff, Betz. I love it.

You were right, chapter 34 was almost as hard to read as I imagine it was to write. But chapter 35 made up for it. I need my Calleo fix NOW! More soon please. :-)

Hi there, Dear,
tks for your nice reply and YES, Hermione wants to know it\'s Severus - quite soon, I hope. She has already been asking about him. May be she meets him somewhere, then eventually starts mixing up the \"two\" in her mind...Ron and her do not fit together -it\'s just not possible. I wonder sometimes why people marry in the first place just to have a divorce later, but - sad as it is - it\'s \"normal\". And adultery, well, I have a (female) friend who has always had 2 lovers and her husband at the same time ...and I know only few people who are (hopefully) faithful.
You mentioned chapter 34 and 35, but I can\'t find it?

I know I don\'t review enough. But I thought I should tell you that I love the footnotes at the end of each chapter. You have such an original fic here and it always makes me feel as though I\'m living it. The details are so rich that the world you create just envelopes the reader. I cannot lavish enough praise upon it. I check daily to see if you have updated. Always a moment of joy in my otherwise dreary life. Thank you...

Omg why does this not have a 1,000 reviews? This is possibly one of the BEST fic I have ever read! The plot is chaulked full of delicious material. It is so well planned out with every bit of detail covered, and so beautifully written. I am just amazed at your talent. As I am sure many have commented this has so much realism I feel like I am reading a biography or an Auto Biography for that matter. I am dealing with all this crap (well except for the Gigolo part)as we speak so I am finding TONS similarities to Hermiones character right now. And your Severus is absolutely edible. I have only gotten to chapter erm 26? I believe and I started hmm two days ago some I will probably finish the rest tonight but I just had to stop and review and tell you what a fabulous job you have done with this fic, it has been very touching and has appealed to me in so many ways. I feel like I do not have the right words to compliment you so I will just say thanks for the wonderful read and I am seriously jumping to go and read more. ;)

Yes, Let\'s all ignore the new canon about Snape!!! I still have hope he is still faithfull, don\'t ask me how, but let\'s say DD kew and begged him to save Draco the only way he knew how.

Ok, onto the story!! MORE!!!! EVIL CLIFFIE INDEED!!!!!!! Frist I get Snape kills DD and then this....not right I tell you!!! I am so curious as to find out how did Lavender findout about Snape and all, did a little red head whisper it during sex, at Hogwarts?
Friend indeed! Who is this supposed friend anyway? LAvender, a froupie, a players wife, Trevor? I mean we never did rule out if Ron is gay or not? IS HE? Could it be a player? Now that would be interesting!!!!!!!
This is getting more intriguing by the chapter!!! And good luck on the contest!!! I have a feeling you are going to win!

Sorry for the spoiler...I just didn\'t think about it. I forgot that most people don\'t plow through a book like Ron does dinner. Please forgive me if this has gotten to anyone that hasn\'t finished reading.

Ok yeah, evil cliffie! but still a great chapter. were you as disppointed in HBP as i was? i don\'t know, i guess i expected more from snape. but we shall see i suppose. anyway, i can\'t wait to read 34 and see what happened to lavendar (AND WHO IS SHE SHAGGING?!?!?!?!) ok i\'m better. can\'t wait to see how hermione takes it when severus is revealed. and she has to go with them, even though the opportunities snape\'s been arranging are tempting. he brought up a good point, he could assist her in the apprenticeship. anyways, can\'t wait to see the next chapters. keep it up!
Much Love!

OH HOLY CRAP!

yup thats all I have to say....I NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS WOULD HAVE PICTURED SNAPE AS A GIGOLO! NIIIIICE!

I like, too, that your sticking with the original plot after HBP! KUDOS!

Hope to read mo soon!
