Poor crooks, he really likes Severus, I bet Hermione does too....

coming along nicely!

great story!  I'm looking forward to the resolution!

When Severus returns to the "Miss Granger" form of address after he and Hermione have had an intimate relationship, no matter how casual or agreed upon, it makes me cringe and hurts my heart. I understand it is his way of protecting himself from being hurt and from letting anyone get too close to him, but he is being such an idiot IMHO.

It looks like the way to repay her is to keep her pussy happy.

Poor Crookshanks.

That went rather well. I hope it worked.

Love this story!  Looking forward to 'the morning after' ;-)

Glad to see the update!

My guess is the worthy attempt isn't going to work.  

Well, I'm glad that Severus came 'round and let Hermione atempt the counter curse.  I am dying to know if it worked!  I can't wait to find out!

Well, she made progress.  I hope things work out.

Oooh, I hope it works! Can't wait til you update again.

arrghhhh!  More!!!!!What a great story!  Please don't leave us hanging!

I'm enjoying this.  There's a really tangible sense of attraction and tension between Hermione and Snape.   The idea of Voldemort's extent of control over his DEs is quite creepy

Rather an interestlingly titled tome to think of the Dark Lord ever having perused.  Nice chapter.  I feel bad for Severus...and for Viktor.  Can't wait to see what Hermione's research will yield.

I am very happy to see an update to this story! Keep up the good work and update again soon!!!

I'm enjoying every update. Well-paced and surprising.

I hope Hermione pulls severus through..... Scary chapter.

There's noting better than a curse inflicted post-mortem by the Dark Lord!  These last couple of chapters have been great.  I am really enjoying your fic so far.  Well done!

Very intriguing beginning. So what's with the Dark stuff? Looking forward to more.

What an interesting beginning! I love it! Please continue!

Hmmm..... very interesting about the charms.  Now, I wonder who put them in place?

Interesting start, I'm enjoying this story.

What a surprising chapter.  That they are very similar isn't the surprising part, but rather their "stand-offish" nature.  And just who or what is trying to keep them together?  Well I can't wait to see where this leads.  Thanks, JoAnn

I can't remember if I commented when this was posted on the exchange, so I'll review anyway:

Drunk!Hermione is the funniest incarnation of her I've ever read.

“True enough,” she admitted. “But you should see some of the interesting results.”

Even on the second reading, the thought of those results cracked me up. 

I rather like the idea of Hermione approaching Snape for no-strings-attached sex, although no doubt it will develop into something more.
