I can't really imagine Hermione being the type to react without all of the facts first -- we see that much in canon, and I tried to stay true to the information we have been given. The intrusion factor is yet another reason why his ability is frustrating him so. On one hand, he's able to help some--not all, and on the other, he feels as though he's prying, and he has no control over that. After all I've put Sev though, Umbridge would be way too much for him, though she would probably reveal a lot of the things she's done--no doubt damning things. I do think it would be interesting for Severus to encounter her once he has his ability under control. I can only imagine how he'd respond.

Indeed she did. I'm saving the mortification for a later chapter. *grins evilly*

Sorry about leaving a cliffhanger, but you won't have long to wait. The next chapter is in the queue. As to whether or not Hermione forgives him, you'll see. I will promise a happy ending.

I'm glad you like my little fic, dear. I went ahead and fixed my small mistake. Thanks for pointing it out.

If I recall correctly, I originally had a comma in it's place. I think it was a requested change, but I can't be certain. But I will go ahead and change it back. Thanks.
