Ohhhh angry sex!  Sounds like Severus needed that slap to see reason.  Boy, men are so blind!  Great chapter as usual.

You never cease to amaze me. This was absolutely the bestest smut scene I've read in a very long time.

I keep telling myself to stay away from WIPs, but I continue to fail when it comes to your WIPs. LOL 

Nothing quite like physical escalation. Looking forward to seeing what the buzz is on Knockturn Alley.

I'm so glad she caught him before he'd actually got to doing anything with the hooker. Go Hermione! She certainly made sure she got her man. *grins*

Hopefully this will get through to Snape too now - that he doesn't actually need to go elsewhere when he'd rather have Hermione!

Well Granger was pissed! Your up against the wall was great. The whole chapter was great.

AHHHHHH!

Excellent chapter. I enjoyed how they skipped the fighting and went straight to the hot make up sex. More people should do that!

well, that's one way to go get your man. though, personally, I would've enjoyed some dragging-out-by-the-ear... :)

Ahh your back! This must mean your challenge piece is done.  I look forward to how you will tangle poor Severus' mind in the chapters to come.  You have such a way of twisting him inside out before he figures out what is best for him. Irish

Great chapter!! Update soon!

Better than the hooker, anyway.  No, really, that was hot.  And sweet, and really, I hope they find a way to make that work for a long time.  Oh, and Go, Harry!

Well, you certainly caught me by surprise!  I did NOT expect this to happen -- and I'm so glad it did!

That's what I call "sexual healing!" I don't know if I like the roughrider Snape or the gentle Snape more. Wow, I got a 2 for 1!

Great story!

Livvy 

nice chapter!  I noticed you skipped some scenes other authors may have added (like the ice cream flirtation?  Only mentioned in passing) I think it works nicely here.  Can't wait for the next installment (I was so excited to see this one)

I this fic.

“It appears that I’m thinking with the wrong head.” is going to be one of the most remembered fandom quotes of all time. I'm sure of it.

I read this and know exactly why I love the HG/SS pairing! Can't wait for the next chapter!

yay!  another chapter - and such a meaty one, full of interesting developments.  i like that they are getting friendlier, although i can only imagine what might happen to that if/when hermione realizes the nature of severus's meeting.  looking forward to the next one!

Hmm . . . I wonder what Hermione will think if she learns what Severus's appointment really is about. She will probably be hurt, even though nothing is really going on between the two of them. Maybe he will back out before he finishes his appointment.I'm glad that Ron has Pansy, so that maybe Hermione will feel like she can find someone else. I hope that Severus doesn't get his freedom too soon, because then he may plan to never see Hermione again before something more develops. I look forward to reading more chapters! Lovely story so far.

Oh my this is not going to go well. Hermione will figure out where he is going, I just know it. I feel very ambivalent about the situation. On one hand, I hate unfaithfulness in the stories I like to read. Real life can be happening to others, but not Hermione or Snape. To be a total hypocrite I don't mind stories where Hermione and Snape are in miserable marriages with other people and they find each other before they are properly divorced. On the other hand, Snape is her friend and is constrained by his probation that if he wants to travel Hermione must take him. Snape is single and obviously is used to visiting a brothel to take care of his release. There is no established relationship or hint of a relationship between Hermione and Snape. Like he said at the table, yesterday Hermione was in love with Ron.

Yay another chapter! Very nice but too short, much too short. Update soon.

oh my god..... Severus.. you need to tell Hermione that you gotta get laid... Hermione you will agree happily and yes... if not Sev is always welcome to come to my house... i will not charge him. lmfao that was amazing as always hun! you seriously need to consider writing a book to publish....... yes mam! great work hun!!!

Yay! Another chapter!! “It appears that I’m thinking with the wrong head.” Hilariously genius!

Gosh, I know he has needs, and he's trying to be considerate of Hermione, but...  Has he really thought this through?  With the head he keeps on his shoulders?

Well, the next chapter promises to be interesting!  Looking forward to it.

Good job, Southern.

you are always forgiven as long as you keep writing!  love love kiss kiss.  i am dying to find out how this old friend works out!  and will hermione find out??  duh duh DUH!!  can't wait for the next episode.  thanks so much! 

They're getting more comfortable together. I liked the scene at the restraunt.  Am slightly jealous of Hermione though for getting to hear Severus' laugh and hug *ahem* apperate with him...

Well, at least they're both interested, on friendly terms, and he knows she's available now.  To bad they're both so sure nothing will happen... Have a bad feeing about Severus' visiting his 'friend', but not sure which direction you'll be spinning it. 

I think the denial and conflicts are going to last a few more chapters, at least.  

Looking forward to where you go from here.

Oh dear... I'm almost worried about what will happen in the next chapter! Severus really should get over himself and focus on Hermione. :-D

Loved the update!

Ohhhh! Your apology is accepted. I wonder how Hermione will react if she finds out who Snape is meeting...that might not be a good thing...I'm also very interested in finding out what Harry is up to! And what will Snape do when/if he's free soon - will he be a man and realise that Hermione is not just ...well... that he might want more than just a quick shag? Because that's what Hermione has to offer... And I wonder what will happen if or when Ron and Pansy hook up - will Hermione really be okay with it if she can't get Snape? Hmmm...many questions are still unanswered - so keep it coming! =) Great update!
