Wonderful chapter! I thought that his loss of memory might be from that night he gave his memories to Harry. I think it is brilliant that you used that as a spring board for this story!

I'm checking this story every day. I adore this idea and your Jemima too. First time I find someone named Jemima to be a nice person in literature. ;) Author's Response: Ha ha, yes, there aren't many sympathetic Jemimas around, are there? Thanks very much for your words of support.

“And every spare bed in Edinburgh will be taken with the festival on. Except mine. Stay at mine tonight.” LOL!!!

Yes I can honestly say I think all of us would like to offer that to Snape!

Obviously Jemima doesn’t want our lovely Potions Professor out of her sight. I think Snape is rather fond of her too, or he would have obliterated her by now, just like Pansy. So now that he is staying with her, I am wondering what he will make of her place and her muggle appliances. This story is just merrily cruising along isn’t it?

Anyway, lovely job as always Shez!

Author's Response: Oh yes, I'd say Jemima was quite hooked now. Can't exactly blame her!

Oh, this just gets better and better. I love how your story dovetails with canon, but goes beyond the 'death' to a much more plausible explanation. JKR missed a wonderful plot point there. So it was Pansy Parkinson who fills Snape in on his past, what there was of it that she knew. His next stop will be Harry I suppose. How did he know how to obliviate Pansy? Was that part of his basic knowledge, like eating, drinking, walking? Poor Jemima, clutching at straws to keep Snape just a little longer. Does she have what it takes to make him sit up and really see her for a possible match? WOULD she be a match for him? She seems kind of weak to be standing up to his steely personality. I guess I have to wait and see. But at least Snape is moving forward into his future. Yay! Great chapter. I liked it a lot!! Author's Response: I think amnesiacs are often able to things like reading, writing, even driving - so I'd say magic was in that category of stuff that has become second-nature to Snape. Without his memories, I see Severus as being a little mellower - though no less formidable - and more open to a relationship.
