A lovely, hopeful read. A lovely, natural progression of a relationship, beautifully rendered. Thank you for sharing! --Teddyradiator

Normally, I dislike SS/HG stories. Your story I found to be genuinely heartfelt, and it's one of the very, very few I would recommend to others. Bravo! --Blackhound (A Series of Genuine Conversations 6/13/12)

That was absolutely gorgeous! I'm coming to realize that all the fantastic authors (you, most definitely included, dear) in this fandom are raising the standards for future significant others rather high lol but I'm still ridiculously honored to be a part of the fandom. So again, wonderful fic dearest. I'll be coming back to it for sure.--Half Blood Outcast (A Series of Genuine Conversations 5/25/12)

I do believe praise is in order. This is the most interesting rendition of what had taken place for the young lives that so many readers have grown fond of. I've been sucked into the story, literally at the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen next. –FridayFetish (The Beginning of Truth 5/27/12)

So totally enthralling. I just found this story and read through it as fast as I could. I think you have one of the best story lines, best dialogue and character development I have seen on this fan site for awhile. These two main characters have developed slowly and with believability. Very well done.—Loyd1957 (The Beginning of Truth 1/6/13)

I ... Wow ... Dang that's HOT!—UnaVitaSegreta (Secrets 1/3/13)

So hot! Such lovely smut! And I can barely take any credit at all... this is all your inspiration, your hard work, your deliciously wicked, smutty inspiration, and it is greatly appreciated by fangirls everywhere! —Meladara (Secrets 1/4/13)

Lovely. It was both sexual and sensual, and just perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this gem.— Snapefan520 (Secrets 1/1/13)

I can has new toys...heck yes!

I’m not in a bad mood anymore. Why? The Hubby surprised me this morning after my little row with the laptop yesterday. I suspect he doesn't want to buy a new one when I rip this one apart with my bare hands, or he’s just particularly thoughtful. Anyway, he secretly got me two new toys (the first is really supposed to be for my classroom, but we all know why he got me this particular thing. The second because he thought, "It just seemed to suit me."). They arrived just today which is fantastic timing.

SUPER SQUEE!!! It's a replica of Professor Snape’s wand from the movies, complete with the basket weave pattern detail on the hilt! At one point, I said I needed a sturdy pointer to use when teaching, and he remembered. This is what he decided I needed. I guess that makes him thoughtful after all. If only I could get the darned thing to work…

He also got me a Time-Turner.

I showed him this. He's a huge HP fan, so he was impressed!

Ooh! Pretty!

I like that you can justify having a wand for classroom use :p

Thank you! I have little bits of HP stashed throughout my classroom. The kids are used to too it, and all of them like it because it’s different. I actually use something similar to house points in my classroom. I sort with an old hat too, which is great fun on the first day. Once my 30 or so kids are sorted into the four teams I start to give and deduct points. The team at the end with the most points gets a party thrown for them by the other three. It’s quite fun and a good way to encourage the kids to work together.
