Thank you for this amazing story. Interesting way how you closed the age gap. :-)

I'm sorry but I think this is getting a bit to much "Pride and prejudice" for me. I think I'll leave you here.

Poor Hermione. I am happy Snape will be well soon.

Yay, finally! Let's wake him!

Love the story so far. The version you paint of Lucius is very interesting.

Please update soon!

youhou, Severus dancing and singing that should be interesting

I love Snape as a dunderheaded lovesick fool. Because it just kills him to be in that position.

Awww he finally pulled his head out of his arse, then? Hope he manages to take action, finally!

And Draco's elaborate plans. Oh my.

ooh nice chapter with Draco's, erm, conquest and the student letters! And Hogwarts. Of course.

Yay, Snape’s back! I’m thinking he’ll be a bit more patient with the students, especially if things work out well with Hermione.

Molly. Duuuude. Poisoning? Not ok -that woman is crazypants. Why is she not institutionalized? Why has none of her family intervened? That kind of enabling leads to worse things. And good god, I wouldn't entrust that woman with a my imaginary pet fish. A daycare - please no. Also, why does Draco get to get busy with all the fun people?

And Mr. Snape? He can go hang for right now. Being almost dead for a long while only gets you so far with bad behavior. He needs a time out.

Poor Neville...

Fantastic chapter!

Bwahahahaha! Perfect!

Delightful. and warm. and poignant. and sweet. and compelling.

Yikes, just... yikes. That showdown was just venomous and heartbreaking. I'm curious to see the Hermione aftermath. So far, it seems she has few to confide in and to offer comfort to her. I hope she gets some somewhere. Lovely chapter.
