This chapter makes a good contrast with the prior one as you present Snape's interaction with another female who is totally different from the last.  I'm hoping the vow he made her never comes directly to a test.

awwwww...*sniff*...that was so sweet. Who knew ole' Sev had it in him?

Awww...The little babie cetnaurs were so CUTE! <3 the story! p.s.: are snape and hermione gonna make-out soon?

Oh, my, the Centaura, and now Draco? What next? You've got a very wicked imagination, and I like that.

WOOt for another chappie! I LOVE how the story is going along, everything fits in so well! LOL...'I was being laid'-brilliant!  XD

You can't leave it like that !(Pout) I have to admit I never would have seen that coming if it hadn't been for the warning at the top of the chapter. Oh man, you are good; now I am practically salivating to find out what Severus is going to do! You darn brilliant writer with your cliffies!  :)

You really made me feel for Severus, and  I actually pity him. I used to think he deserved what he got for joining the Death Eaters, but this chapter truly evokes my sympathies.

I've finally found time to reread your story rather than just resuming where I left off over there.  I'm enjoying it all over again.This chapter is exceptionally funny, showing the interaction of two very socially stiff characters (as perceived in canon at any rate).  The humor builds along with the tension as he tries to elude her manipulation finally lying to escape her sexual attention, a step too far over the line even for the sake of duty as far as he's concerned.  It's delicious that he sets up potential retribution for Lucius too.  Good job.

::gasp:: What an absolutely brilliant device to introduce for the tension between the two later on.  ::applauds wildly::One of the things I like best about your story is its inventiveness.

Dear Merlin, ANOTHER side trip? Are you getting bored with the original plot, dear Author?

I'm not too sure I like this twist---a little too creepy for my taste. Snape has been like a father to him--it smacks of incest.  Let's hope Snape get's out of this one quickly!  Overall a fabulous tale though!

   OMG!!!!

Good grief, first the centaura, now Draco? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised if the every inhabitant of Hogwarts right up to the giant squid makes a play for Severus next. Then if Voldemort learned of it, Harry wouldn't need to kill him as said Dark Lord would probably laugh his head off. This story is getting ever more surreal, but that's not a bad thing- just... different.

oh goodness!  Sev is getting people throwing themselves at him left and right.  Hopefully he won't have to deal with the Headmaster too..

Uh oh.  It's just one complication after another for poor Severus.

I'm glad things seem to be returning to normal. The last few chapters were...surreal, to say the least! Were they planned from the beginning? While I enjoyed the farcical interlude for it's own sake (much like the dramas of old, eh?), it seemed to be quite a departure from the initial tone of the story. Oh, & I do hope Herms forgives Severus for his 'indiscretions' with the centaura, or better yet, never finds out!

This is a great story and I hope you continue it! I look forward to the next chapter!  I really enjoy the way you portray Snape...He's come alive here. Very witty and clever, and I like the asides within the characters minds (esp his)

Thanks for a great read!  PLease update!

It was not until he closed and locked the door to his private chamber that Snape fell to his knees, his mouth stretched wide in a silent scream.Sometimes I wonder how this man is able to balance it all and retain his sanity.  He walks on the edge of a knife and a slip in either direction could prove deadly.  Good thing the centaura have added mirth to the story he gave his Dark Master.  It sucks that one of his spells was mutated and used against Hermione.  I am glad he was able to deduce this after questioning Neville so she could be treated properly.This chapter was brill, just like all the others.  The humor you inject make the moments of angst so much more bearable.

1.  best wishes for a full recovery posthaste!2.  can't wait for the next chapter-in-line...  :)3.  hee hee hee hee hee hee hee....

I enjoyed this chapter and do like the fact that you are creating a story not just a torrid fic about sex and completely unrealistic relationships.Elen

As always, another great chapter! Thanks again for keeping us so entertained.  

Oh this story just gets better and better.  Thanks for the imagery of the centaurs and their young.  For some reason, I never thought about what their foals would look and act like. I can't wait to see what you present next.  Thanks for posting.  JoAnne

Terminally cute! But way too short. You are rapidly running out of canon, though.

Lovely chapter.  LOL, poor Severus, he's probably on every Centaur's hit list, and on every Centaura's wish list all at the same time.

Lovely, lovely.  What a great twist to make Dolohov's curse a twist on a curse Severus himself created.  What marvelous transitive guilt!  He's quite right about Wormtail keeping a closer eye on him ... at least Severus is still at Hogwarts where there is some privacy, but you set up the events of the summer with great plausibility.
