I haven't reviewed this yet as I only found this story a week or two ago and have had familly issues to deal with, but I just wanted to leave a note and let you know how much I adore this story!!
For some reason I'm really into the fics where Severus and Hermione have to live without magic, and a relationship between them occurs - probably because they're more believable than Marriage Law or potion-induced stories. Not that I don't enjoy those also. I find, and with your story in particular, that 'magic-less' Hermione/Severus stories focus more on the characterisation and the plot of the story and are generally of a higher calibre.
Thank you for reading my mini-essay *grins sheepishly* but I really hope to see some more of "Without Magic" soon, and if you ever need a stand-in beta or sounding board or just someone to rant to, let me know!
Aw, thanks, doll! I'll keep you in mind if ever my beta runs away. In the meantime, I'll be more than happy to sound you out on an idea I've been working on. It involves music and art, too. Let me know your email addy, mine is ladyinthecloak at yahoo dot com. :-)
I'm currently writing the next chapter, and I think I'll be ready to send it off to NSS on Sunday night or Monday morning. It stands at around 3500 words so far. I'll email you during next week - have kept this w/end free to complete chapter XI of WM, and besides, my voice is non-existent at the moment, lol. It was a sore throat to start with, and all the pain and all is gone, I just can't talk. *snerk*
New Chapter?? Woot!!
