Ah good - the happy ending at last!! I wonder what they did with the house? Or had he not actually bought it yet?

Review: Your summary says it all.
I forgot to mention a couple of chapters ago how much I liked the scene where people could go to the brothel and play out their memories - it was tender, and I wondered if it would make a stand alone fic.
This is a wonderful ending, giving me full recovery from the previous angst attack! Thanks - this is a great story. :)

Review: Lol! He better not forget he has that Felix Felicis to finish off and deliver. Thanks, honey! It's a very different sort of exchange fic.
Author's Response: This is for an OLD exchange. I listed the prompt. It was assigned to me. I practically cried when I got it, plotting it was extremely hard for me. I would never have written a fic like this. This fic is not so much a romance as a predestined mystery. Drove me nuts this did.

The cat ducked under the Potions master's arm, seeking security from his owner-warden. Snape pulled Crookshanks onto his lap, scratching the fur behind the ears until the cat purred loudly."

Review: Post-war sadness hits home again for Hermione with Harry reliving memories of Ron. It seems like the wizarding version of post-traumatic stress disorder.
On a bright note, Snape screwed creepy Borgin while helping out Jasmine, and a dose of slimy Mungdungus. What's not to like?

Review: Uh-oh - now she's going to feel really guilty. But I can't help thinking Severus has been a bit of an idiot, keeping this from her.
Author's Response: Wait.....

Review: Oh dear. Yes, she was disappointed, but can't he see how his dogged pursuit of that casual wish potentially cost them both far more than a house could ever be worth?
Author's Response: Wait...

Review: OK, I see how that was something worthwhile, but they are married. It should have been the two of them working on the plan. He let the important part (their marriage, the sex, the casual intimacy) slide while he obsessed. And I know that is part of his psyche, but it is painful. And it is testament to your writing skills that I've gotten all caught up in this.
Author's Response: You are great are forshadowing. Men can be like this. Men equate actions as love, women want time....

NOOOOO!!!!!
I feel empty and hollow and like I want to scream at them to sit down and talk! But angry people are not reasonable people...I just hope he doesn't lose the will to live or whatever.

Review: I really liked this line: Her voice stuck in her throat at the look in his eyes, conviction and remorse pinning her feet to the floor.
It's really heartbreaking that Hermione built up all her evidence and her theories without confronting him along the way (or at least successfully confronting him). And damn Severus for keeping secrets to the detriment of his marriage!
Author's Response: there comes a time in all marraiges where spouses become strangers and confound us.

Review: What low self-esteem. Hermione has shown how much she desires him, but when she threatens to leave, he thinks she found someone to replace him.
Or he's so self-absorbed in his business that he can't see he's driving her away with secrecy.
I'm through with teh angst. Now I'm sad :(

Review: All right. So they are both misreading each other terribly. Unfortunately, Severus is so dang focused on his project/s that he's lost touch with their relationship. Marriage takes a balance you dunderhead.
Hermione doesn't get it when Crooks refuses to go either. She's too heart broken.

Review: UGH! Severus is so hard headed. He wouldn't even respond to her concerns. Typical male!
Although, resorting to Legilimency was a rather foolish decision. The brashness of a Gryffindor!

Review: Instead Crookshanks wriggled and squirmed, until Hermione felt as if she were trying to hold an armload of several greased octopuses.
That's an excellent description of trying to hold an unwilling cat! LOL

Now you have me wondering about Severus' subterfuge and 'secret project.'

This is moving, imaginative in its use of magic, and a Hermione and Snape I can see as perfectly in character--I thoroughly enjoyed rereading it--thanks for posting it here. I'm adding this to my favorites list.
