Reviewer: makaem Signed [Report This] Date: 06/12/08 - 01:18 am Title: The Wisdom of Hindsight Dumbledore had to know this was a possibility, that she would develop feelings for Snape. I guess he's counting on them to stay one sided. Author's Response: I think Dumbledore tried to minimise the likelihood of this happening by choosing Tess in the first place. But yes, Severus's continuing devotion to Lily will reassure Dumbledore that all is well.

I'm heavily into herbs (I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and chronic tinnitus/balance problmes and prefer to use natural remedies where possible and have also recently obtained a Diploma in Herbalism myself). I know Agnus Castus to be of great benefit to many women and I think it's great that you've chosen a non-HP related name for a change! Author's Response: I chose it to acknowledge my other incarnation as a pharmacist. Plus, Severus tends to effect women's hormones on a regular basis... Reviewer: sevvy Signed [Report This] Date: 04/12/08 - 04:34 pm Title: The Wisdom of Hindsight I've only recently come across this gem of a story and have gradually been working my way through it, not even daring to spend/lose time submitting a review until now! I am totally captivated by this; the way you write, the depth and meaning to everything. It's very different from anything else I've read and very beautifully done. Severus, of course, is being his usual stubborn self (so no surprises there!) I have to say that I am greatly surprised that you don't get more reviews. I'm definately hooked now and can't wait for more! Author's Response: Thank you so much for your feedback and welcome on board! Your view that the story is very different is a huge compliment to me, as I set out to write something original. I'm always grateful for every single review. Writing fiction is a new arena for me, so the feedback encourages me to continue. Hope to hear from you again some time soon!

We can see her working through it, but that doesn't mean that he isn't. It must have been so hard to leave her wand behind! I hope neither comes to regret that. These four chapters have been delicious, but I want so much more...! Author's Response: I'm truly pleased you have enjoyed these chapters (the absence of stars on reviews is a little disconcerting for me!) and thank you so much for taking the time to review each chapter. Although I have no way of knowing what you want, and it's probably better that I don't know, I do hope you get some of what you want in the end. As we still have a long distance to go, there is time!
