Oh, what an ending!

Great chapter, I look forward to the next one!

Oh no! You can't just leave it there!!!! That's cruel, you know.

I liked the chapter very much but I wanted them to meet!!!

Of course I'll be waiting for any updates. I hope it's sooner than later that you'll post again!!!!

Great chapter. Really, just great. I think that most people have been through what Hermione is dealing with right now, and you've really captured the emotions. As always, I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

Ahhhh.... cliffe!!!!!!

You're the Dark Lord when it comes to these chapter endings. Seriously, seriously.

Nice moments with the Weasleys too

Have I mentioned lately how much I enjoy Hermione's friendship with Ginny? I have? Just checking. :)

This last paragraph sounds ominous ... hmmm

As always, I look forward to more!

What do you mean he looked "far removed ... from the man who ... exuded such welcoming passion...."  Does that mean his look was not welcoming?  Did he change his mind? Is he just nervous?

.... Ooooo!  He was waiting for her!  Teehee!Lemon time?  Or close to it?  *nail biting moment*I'm really looking forward to the next chapter.  Cheers!

Great, ....but.......  MORE!!!!  ^.^    (will be waiting impatiently in the corner for the next chappie)

The last paragraph physically hurts. How could you leave it here? What is going on? This is just cruel and unusual punishement for those of us who have been here since the beginning.  Please update soon so I can put my fears to rest!!!!

Aargh!  What's going on?  Is something wrong with Severus?  I'm tearing my hair out!

I gave up fan fiction for lent.  This was a real treat to get back to.  I love stories like your's which perfectly combine Angst and romance.  Keep the chapters coming.Elen

Beautiful, hot and teasing. And that terrible empty feeling at the end...something's missing! Whatever it is, give it back!

Oh Fantastic! I've been out of the loop for a bit, stressed out and exhausted, but it has made my week to have not just one but two updates since I have last been! As usual the writing is brilliant. The story is progressing nicely. I love their kiss! I love it. You have made my week! I will hope to see their conversation very soon!

Aargh!  Where's he going?

I liked this line, very Mr Rochester:

“Sit down, Miss Granger,” he said rather imperiously. “The furniture is not toxic.”

You've maintained the tension marvellously

What an amazing story! I have really enjoyed reading what you've written thus far and I can't wait to read more. Write more soon! :)

Ack!  The cad!  If I were Hermione, I'd hex him senseless for that!  VERY wonderful chapter.  The description of the first kiss gave me goosebumps.  More soon!

Awwwww! I want to know what happens! You are really good at building tension. ^_^

ARGH!Oh, well done, author!  You have us gasping and panting for more, even as Hermione does the same.  Nice job of carefully bringing your potion to the simmer and leaving us to a slow boil.

I'm really enjoying this story. The characters are believable and the plot is unique. You even have me liking your Ginny!

"issues--?"  damn, he's quite the tease.  Well, if anyone has issues, he's the guy. 

I'm balancing right now between loving and hating you... Love is probably going to win, but you need to update. However, the tension's been momentarily relieved (Amazing job on that!!!!). Delicious chapter. Can't wait to find out what happens next. Also good job at keeping Severus IC (as much as possible at least).  :)

Whew!  [fans self.]  What a chapter!  I'm glad they're beginning to move forward, and I hope their future talk goes well.

Oh, what a perfectly horrid little tease you are!  I'm on pins and needles now from wondering just what kind of issues Severus thinks need clarifying before he and Hermione do the dirty deed.  It would be interesting indeed if they turn out to be of similar kind to those raised by Ginny...concerns that Hermione will find herself sacrificing too much (such as by losing friendships) as a result of choosing to be involved with him.

*fans herself* That was quite intense... Arooooh!  Just read the last three chapters in one sitting.  Great stuff.  I love the way they are subtly going toward each other from chapter to chapter.  Nothing overt or 'in-your-face' to jar the moment. A slow meandering toward something 'more'... Should we be looking forward to some lemon scented moments?    Cheers!
