hmmm, looking good, and I think Severus is just a tad jealous....

Lovely story, thank you!

Pfft, so apparently Harry is the character death we are warned about? Sneaky. I figured for sure you'd kill off hermione or Snape. Will there be any sort of follow up story about their continuing the experiments? Lol

So the story has a warning of character death.. Thus makes me wonder if Snape will succumb after all, or of the curse is supposed to kill her before it kills him, or what. I an expecting deviousness, lets just say..

Hmm, interesting story so far, very different from anything I've read before. Interested to see what will happen, so I'll keep reading!

Hmm, so if hermione didn't put the black wards up, and neither did Snape, who did exactly? Has someone been tampering with her flat?

Lol, poor Hermione just coming to get pissed and fend off the menfolk.

I am glad that there is a cure for Severus. Very much enjoyed the insight into his mind.

It seems her plan's working.  Good chapter!

Yay!  Finally, some progress is being made.  I rather enjoyed Severus' little musings to himself.  Nicely written.

Well, I had the right idea about using a potion, just chose the wrong one.  Great chapter, I actually feel sorry for Severus.

OK, I'm feeling better now.  I'm a happy ending junkie and I was getting more than a bit worried about our favorite Potions professor.  I'm enjoying the story a great deal; thanks for your work!

Ooh, please update soon!

Author's Response: Thanks!  I'm pleased that you're enjoying it.  The next chapter's in the queue and should be up in a few days.

Great story! You've got a very good plot here. :D

Good writing!  I like that you've kept Snape snarky.  I can't bear OOC Snape.  And Hermione's reaction to her fame is quite logical too.  Keep on, please!

Ahh, there's nothing more depressingly entertaining than paranoia. I'm eager to see how that will be overcome in order to enact the countercurse.  Nice chapter.

I just sped through these first seven chapters - love it! I don't recall reading this in the exchange but I am thoroughly enjoying your wonderful story. I love the idea of the curse - it is so frighteningly in line with the person and character of Voldemort and it is a very fair extrapolation on the canon. And Viktor - oh sigh. Viktor is such a wonderful friend! And I like how realistic you make SS/HG's feelings for each other - thank you for not doing the "...and then they realized they were perfect for each other and were deeply in love" route. This is much more believable. Alright, end rant! I eagerly await your next update.

Severus must be having a hell of a time with this.  His emotions are being messed with and lets face it, men in general, are ill equiped to handel emotional upheavel, or emotions in general.  They are trained practically from birth on how they have to be macho.

So much for uncomplicated. Looking forward to the breaking of the curse.

Poor Hermione, she really has her hands full.  Maybe she should slip him a lust potion.....

Wonderful story! 

That was a rather sad and chilling ending to the chapter.  I do feel terribly for Severus, and I understand that his reasctions are, in part, due to the curse, but I hate his willingness to die rather than to trust someone else.  Sorry for that convoluted sentence.  I can't wait to see what plot Hermione will devise in order to convince Severus to do what needs to be done.  Great chapter!

Nice ending, it is open-ended and leaves the reader to imagine how their relationship develops. Great story!

Again, kudos to you for Hermione's fantasticly wry, witty, sarcastic style.  Love it.

OMG--what an incredibly inventive (and hideous) twist!
