Still uneasy with DH's seeming elevation of Lily (Evans) Potter to near-sainthood, her being the la belle dame sans merci/morgan le fay/virgin mary in Snape's personal pantheon.  Guess I'll nevery buy the Gryffindor automatically = good in my book.

Methinks Snapey needs some humbling via kitty.  Some cat/kneazle hairs on his robes and maybe some shredding oughta improve his manners slightly. (speaking as a cat owner)

Yay.  I knew you'd be able to set things right and have the Gryffs do the Slytherins fair.  (sorry, DH & JKR's prejudice against Slytherins still leaves a bad taste in my mouth). 

I'd hate to think that Harry would rather let his blind hatred of and prejudice against Snape to get in the way of saving Ginny.  But I don't have much faith in the boy-who-lived, frankly.

Wonderful story, cannot wait until the next installment!

For someone who is not interested, Snape was able to describe Hermione's position in bed as if he had a photographic memory. Hermione's payback of shucking off her clothes in front of him and taking a shower was great for shock value. I'm glad they made up. As for Harry, it looks like he did go to the Minister after all and I misjudged him in the last chapter.

I'm not sure what she was thinking, but I enjoyed the chapter. 

AHHHHHHHHH!!! omg i think i died!!! i absoloutly love this *screaming* you have to keep writing!!!! omg i dont even know what else to say this is brilliant!!!

Ooo I can't wait for the next chapter!

Aww, I love his peace offering.  It's beautiful that Hermione figured out the truth about Severus' intentions.  It's rare that Hermione is the one who learns a lesson in these stories, and I'm fascinated by the process.

So okay,  Hermione has convinced the guys that Snape deserves consideration at least, if not downright gratitude for all he's done.  But someone needs to convince them that turning those two Slytherin bimbos loose because they're a pain in the arse is just rewarding bad behavior!

Anyone who's ever raised teenagers knows you don't let them get the upper hand, otherwise you'll be pulling the load and they'll be driving! 

Good chapter, but way too short!

Love it!! Haha, poor Ron and Harry. I think those two girls would be strangled before long!Can't wait to read the next chapter!

Good chapter. I can't wait for more!

Thank you so much for the update. I am happy Severus offered a tiny bit of peace towards Hermione,  but this chapter also showed me even more how unfair it must be to him to yet again be a prisioner of someone else when he is doing the rigth thing all the time. I hope you will have Harry freeing Severus from the agreement soon, preferably before the antidote is given to Ginny, that would show that they will trust him, if they wait, it will only seems like they waited until they got what they wanted, and then didn't care anymore. Looks likek the boys have their work cut out for them with Daphnee and Pancy, serves them rigth:-)Update again soon, this really is a brilliant story!!!

I love this chapter.  It shows why he feels put upon so eloquently.  No more a prat, simply a man driven too far for too long...

Too many have misjudged his true character. It is no wonder he is bitter and feels used. I hope Harry can set the record straight and Snape can be allowed his freedom with his power, as he deserves. As for the guys, oh my have they got their hands full with Daphne and Pansy. What a riot! Those young women will have Ron and Harry completely stressed out in a relatively short period of time.

Exciting....I can't wait to read more!!

I had a feeling it would turn out that he was trying to find a cure anyway!  I wonder how things will go when Harry does ... whatever it is he's going to do.  I like this take on the prompt!

I like that, it is good to see Harry thinking. 

This is getting more and more interesting. I like the way you are incorporating bits and pieces from DH and I love your Snape.

I'm enjoying this one. I till can't believe that the Ministry would put two girls in with Harry and Ron! *laughs* even those two.I'm glad Harry finally realizes how much Snape does for everyone. About time!

Just caught up with this story, and I'm really hooked, especially after this eventful chapter. What a kicker when Hermione reads the dates on Snape's notes, and he certainly doesn't seem the type to accept amends easily! Pansy and Daphne are pretty funny as the roommates from hell (as long as you don't have to room with them, that is...)

I feel sorry for Severus, but at least you didn't kill him off.

Well, he's decided to be cooperative but didn't exactly apologise - I wonder if he's deliberately manipulating Hermione's feelings or if she's truly seen him in an unguarded moment?

Great story so far; everyone in character and an intriguing plot.  I feel sorrier for Harry and Ron than Hermione at the moment.
