An excellent story I do hope that you update soon.  I especially liked this little sceen, Snape gay what a laugh!Elen

After reading the first chapter, I was a bit as leary as Snape with the bed time reading. Now, however, I'm glad I read on. The story is coming along nicely! I like how its parallel to Order of the Phoenix.

Really enjoying this story - somehow the thought of Severus being read to is very appealing. Perhaps it's the touch of vulnerability it suggests at something like a bedtime story frightening away his ghosts, just like when I was a kid as well. I like how you are characterising Hermione and Severus in this, and I'm very much looking forwards to the next chapters.

I'm really happy to see you posting this here.  Huzzah!  ~

Yay! That was a quick update :)

I love the way they are interacting. Very believable and.. ah, just right :)

You have a very nice style, very fluent. a joy to read ;)

Looking forward to the next chapter

And there's the dark Snape we all know and love. I'm glad he feels guilty about it, somewhat. Kudos to her for being strong enough to stay. I'm afraid I would have done something foolish like trying to hex him. :)

Bwahahahaha! You know this story is just as funny to read the second time around.Poor Snape. Man never can get a break.

Is there a centaur named Hermione? Now I'm even more confused!

What's up with the question mark?He felt sudden tension snap throughout her entire body, which was not unpleasant in the slightest, but fortunately (?), she reared back to look him in the eye. "Well?" she demanded.Is it a holdover from a line of thought you didn't follow? Something the beta said? It just makes me (as a reader) crazy with curiosity! It also calls attention to the strange choice of words: but fortunately, she …

Oh. Ouch.  You may say that she's the emotionally mature one here, but she's way out of her league.Very tense. I think this is a good climax to follow his realization of her feelings and fears for his safety. Poor girl.

Oh this is delightfully funny.  Thanks for showing off the Spy Snape Skills:"I'm afraid..." Snape bowed his head and attempted a nervous giggle, then fixed her gaze. "It's just that you look so seductive, but I'm not, ah, that is, I don't exactly..."and, well, Severus' intimation at the end is really pricelss!  Thanks for going there!I love this: It is proof that we live in a divine universe, that such opportunities arise when they are so desperately needed.

What book did she read at the end of the chapter?

Oh My GOD! OMG! i mean... for fucks sake it is hilariuos.. in a ironic, sarcastic and completely insane way. WHAT other story have Severus Snape ending up telling draco malfoy that he had a gay relationship with sirius black, and all because he really didn't want to fuck the toad. I mean, you are brilliant! i don't think anybody could have found a more... logical and reasonable way for that to happen (the telling) than that. OMG, absolutely brilliant. I hail you.

Can't wait for more. Riveting. Love your sense of humour.Chased this all the way from Mugglenet to read what did not get on there. Truly fab. Haven't laughed so much at anything in months. You give me the strength to possibly post a story of my own.  Keep writing. You're superb.

oh dears...say, would you like my Kinna? He's kind of a slytherin and he's fabulous as all get-out ^.^ he's got this snakey thing going on and he's awfully cute...good for sending to Dracos who need to be dealt with carefully ~nods more~woot! can't wait for the next chapter!

ok i am readin fair exchanges again and it is still just as wonderful as it was the first timethanks hun for sharing your imagination with me

Very well done!

Ah, now this version of Snape being forced to kill Dumbledore makes so much more SENSE than Dumbledore asking him to be killed!

I second Teddybear's begging! I can't wait to see what happens next in this one. Great story! :-) Please? Please? Please? (But I can understand life getting in the way.)

Oh wow....I agree with what someone else said- I would've left you a review before, but I couldn't stop reading. I love your writing style and the way you capture Severus. It's one of the most in-character fics of him I've read, actually. Job very well done. First I thought this last bit was a really disappointing turn of events, but then I read the end again and I got it. :) When you update...will you pick up exactly where you've left off? Or do we have to fill it in ourselves? heehee I can't wait to read the rest of your story.

I love your writing style and stories. Love. Please hurry up with the postings. I'm getting anxious.

damn you, woman. that was entertaining, but let them get down to it already!

This story is one of my favorites, and I read it often. But this chapter is truly brilliant! I laugh myself self to tears every time. Thanks so much!

:O at this chapter! i read this all the way through in one night and i love it!

I was too busy reading, to review earlier, did not want to stop. When will the next chapters be posted?? Soon?? **ShamelessBegging** Pleeeeeeeeeze!!!It's just so very lovable. Thank you for sharing!!!
