	I love how this turned out, especially Snape's turn as House, in a fashion. Poor clueless Harry though, as usual :) I think he enjoyed the ending -- heh, I said ending. (Reply to this) (Thread)

What an excellent story! My favorite so far; I loved how very in character everyone was--I think it must be years since I've seen Snape so--well, Snape! I do love various fanon characterizations as well, of course, (my own writing surely proves that) but it was wonderful to see such subtlety, attention to detail, and Snape's little moments of nastiness, so perfect to balance out the sweet, smexy perfection of the ending! Really, this one drew me right in and didn't let me go. I'm so proud to have you as a teammate!

How do I love this? Let me count the ways... Snape given the choice to work at St Mungo's. The kaffee-klatch gatherings of Harry and his friends. Hermione's dilemma with her parents--reminded me of how she ended up as a cat in PoA. Harry ending up as Snape's patient, at the mercy of his bitter wit. My favorite--NEVILLE is awesome, the 'garden plot' of this is fascinating, and I love how the story ended with Snape and Harry making love in a garden. :) And the alteration of canon Shrieking Shack--Snape showing Harry the memories in a different way, trying to protect him. Intriguing deviation!

Very well written, pleasantly plotty and sub-plotty, and sub-sub-plotty, with realistic dialogue that made me all happy inside. Bravo, Dragon! You did a great job! ROARRRRRR!!!

	There are so many things I love about this story. The mystery, the romance, Harry winding up in Severus care (versus him chasing after Severus), and the SMEXY PORN! Hot darlin', really smokin'. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It was lovely to read Snarry mixed with so many interesting details of the wizard world—and a Granger subplot. I've been wanting to see a fic that dealt with Hermione's parents for a while now. :) (Reply to this) (Thread)

That was such a feel-good fic; made me smile and sigh contentedly.

At the beginning, I was a bit afraid the guy who was stealing the plants might be Snape, but it was obvious fairly quickly that it wasn't him, or at least I really hoped it wasn't. I liked how you used Hermione's parents needing to get their memories back as a method for Snape regaining his memories.

So now a small segment of Muggles are going to be looking oddly at the statue of Sir Hans Sloane and wondering what is on the other side :-)

Ha! Neville rocks! Okay, silly way to start a comment on a Snarry story, I suppose, but still--he does! And I also have to say I love the way you revisit some of the unresolved issues from the books--Hermione's parents chief among them. The hideous epilogue may have been meant to tie things up in a pretty bow, but it really just left lots of loose threads. I did wonder at first if Snape might come up with a cure for Neville's parents, but alas . .

Excellent characterization of Snape; he really isn't a very nice man, is he? But it's part of his charm. :) And I love Harry's stubborn persistence, and Ron's pigheaded refusal to grant Snape the benefit of the doubt, and the Friday Hogwarts reunions, and the complete lack of Ginny. A fun and satisfying story.

	Well done, you! I adored the Granger subplot. Really. That whole thing has annoyed me since the book came out. Snape's voice was wonderful... snicker Snarky old man. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I loved this even more the second time. Great plot, wonderful details: Hermione's parents, Neville, Lee as Medusa, the reason why Snape hurt his leg, the dragon dung ... A clever constructed and entertaining read! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	What a wonderful story! it has all the things I love about Snarry in it. Snarky!Severus, determined and not above being unscrupulous!Harry, perceptive!Hermione, a fun plot (just enough to make it interesting) and WALL!Sex. Whee! The inclusion of Neville (LOVE him) was brill, as was the little snippet of Umbridge in the beginning (Oh, do I love to hate her). Awesome job! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Lovely fic! I really enjoyed this, loved the potions/herbs/gardening bits, the hidden magical garden and Neville, and poor Harry trying so hard to be an Auror and getting hexed. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Oooooh~ That was lovely! ^________^ *happy sigh* I love the idea of Snape working for St. Mungo's~ Angel of death indeed~ ^____^ And of him losing his memory too~ One of my favorite little plots is one of them not remembering their time with the other. Hermione's issue was a brilliant addition as well! I could easily see this being the result of what happened in canon! So much love for this! Legal and decent! ^_____^ ~♥

Very nice! I, like many who have already commented, really liked the way you addressed the canon missing moment of what happened to Hermione's parents. And what a great tie-in to use the solution for that for Snape's memory loss as well! Speaking of Snape, he's absolutely wonderful here. I would hate to be on the receiving end of his verbal insults, but to read it as a reader was a total joy.
