Ronald and I were not a good match, too disparate in our temperaments, interests and goals in life. Love alone would never have sustained us. I deserve the love of a man who can stimulate me intellectually and..."Amen.  I absolutely love that you took the risk of writing a less than attractive Hermione in this part of the story.

I like that you went with the less traditional word for this sin.  Something about it just seems to fit Severus better.  For the record, I want the library.

Love the deadly sin theme.  This is off to a promising start!

Did I review on here? I can't remember if I did on here. Very ingenious. I was really happy on how well received it was. Definitely a different spin on lust that was very HOT! :)Great work!Livvy

*wipes drool off the keyboard* Oh, the mental images... Well, they aren't together, but that was the next best thing. Lovely chapter, can't wait to see what happens next!

Argh, clueless men...love the reactions, Ron and Severus were both soo much in character. Severus will have to do some very serious groveling to fix this mess.

Oh, poor Severus...he need excercise *waggles eyebrows* And I love that Lavender married Crabbe, lol :)

Well written, but I just can't get into two masturbation scenes in one chapter.  It's too frustrating.   I want them TOGETHER.  Ah, well, pass the vibrator.

I can't wait to have them do that in the same room preferably in the same bed...

Ah, Lust... the things it does to mere humans. :)

Oh too bad he totlaly misread her expression. And that she was too shocked to voice anything before he left. They would have had a much better evening and a nice breakfast!

Very fun-liking this more and more!

Very interesting, Given that Lust is such a limited sin, i like what you did with it, not giving in to the automatic 

wonderful! that's such a Ron thing, leaping before thinking. excellent work!

Excellent! i enjoy how the chapters flow together even with the different writing styles. i like how you made Severus's thoughts flow like they do in our own heads.Kudos!

i like it. i laughed at a few points, the way you projected Hermione's conversation with Crookshanks had me laughing pretty hard, considering i've done the same thing with my cats. Kudos to you!

As usual, Miss Granger and I are in agreement about what constitutes a proper romantic night in...very fun, definitely looking forward to reading the rest.

Given that Severus did break into her home and hurl rude accusations at her, I feel like it's a little off for her to imagine that she would have grabbed his arm and begged him to stay if he'd given her more time before Flooing off.  She was going to beg him to stay just because he'd said he was sorry for breaking in?There is the theme of true apologies and forgiveness in this story, so perhaps she could really feel the force of the apology in those words, but I guess I'd just hope that she'd want a little more on what else he'd said--on his lack of trust--before she was begging him to do anything.Amusing how wrong Severus was about the "uptight Miss Granger", lol, and she seems to be doing just fine without any magical products at all. ;)Glad to see they're almost on the right track--it would just be nicer if they were on it together, lol.  :DLooking forward to seeing how this resolves itself.

Is frustration a deadly sin?

I think I was expecting them to be in the same room for this sin. This was perfect though. It showed their lust but kept us wanting more. Very nice.

Wow - amazing! They're ridiculously bad at communicating, though! lol..

*squee* I loved this chapter and I REALLY loved that you took your "sin" in such an unexpected direction.  Well done!Go Team Venus!!!

You stepped outside the expected to deliver an outstanding chapter, full of sexy fantasy and reality for our couple.  Even though Hermione and Severus weren't together, the readers finally got what they were clamoring for.  Very nice, indeed. Go Team Venus!

Both of them need to swallow a bit of their pride, I think.

Nice. Too bad it really wasn't with each other :(Maybe next chapter.
