Sinbad, thank you so much for your reviews, comments and ratings.  The relationship between Hermione and Severus will be explained in later chapters, without give much away, I will say that this is going to to get darker and more angsty.  Again, thank you so much for your reviews.

Your assumption is astute, Severus and Hermione have a complicated association to put it mildly, more will be fleshed out with these two though as the chapters progress.  Thank you so much for your comment and review.  I apologize if my response is a bit vague, but I don't want to spoil anything by giving too much away. 

Please be as vague as you want, it gives me lots to think about while I wait for the next wonderful chapter.

Well I'm working on chapter five now, so hopefully you will not have to wait too long.

Hehe,  Snitchette, don't you worry, Umbridge will get her comeuppance, and Severus is telling me the the Fidelitious Fealty is too good for the likes of Umbridge.   Thank you for your review and rating :)  I'm be working on chapter five, this weekend, if I'm not to busy.

The first part of your comment/review is correct regarding the caster, but as for Umbridge lusting after Hermione or wanting her as a sexual object, not so much, as fathers cast the curse on their daughters as a chastity belt, and husbands do it to ensure fidelity, women tended to cast the curse as a form of vengence/revenge against a husband's mistress or a woman of whom they envied in effect creating a enuch. Sorry if that wasn't made clear, chapter five will deal a bit more with the history of the curse, to clear up any confusion, thank you so much for your review.

Thank you so much for your review, I'm probably going to start writing chapter five sometime this weekend, so hopefully you won't have to wait long for another chapter.

Thank you so much for your review

, I apologize that my response it a bit late, but I do have some good news, Chapter 15 has been sent off to my beta so I;m just waiting to get it back and I soon as I do a new chapter will be posted.

Never heard of the song, maybe I'll give it a listen.

Thank you

for giving my story a chance, chapter 15 is being written so stay tuned.

Our Severus is a bit extreme to put it mildly.  Working on Chapter 15 and am about 3 1/2 pages in so, I hope to have it off to my beta soon.  Thank you for the R&R

.

Thank you so much Beth for the R&R, Chapter 15 is being written, and will deal with Hermione's thoughts regarding her actions and Severus' response to her.

Thank you for the R&R

, Chapter 15 will delve more into Hermione's mindset on why she reacted the way she did.

Thank you for R&R livvy, Hermione's inner thoughts on her and Severus' actions will be explored in Chapter 15.  In her defense, though intelligent and rational when logic and booksmarts are the topic, I believe she is emotionally stunted when presented with the equation of love and romancce, that and she is a teenager. 

So Severus forgot who he was dealing with and took it all personally. My husband does that sometimes. He forgets our age difference and thinks I am his age. But he catches himself and admits he's expecting too much from me. Then we can talk things out rationally. Oh, they have so much to figure out!

That they do, there is much those two need to figure out if their 'relationship' is going to work.  So up next reflections of Severus and Hermione.  

Thanks for the R&R

,  I liked the quote too and thought it would fit the situation.  I think Hermione will learn to think before she speaks from now on.

Thank you for the R&R 

, as for Snape's statement,  Hermione gives him a light of the end of the tunnel as it were, but she could also be his downfall.  Thank you again for the review.

Thanks for the R&R

,  Yeah, Hermione did overreact, but her reasons will be revealed in Chapter 15, so stay tuned.

Thank you for the R&R

, oh the follies of youth, as Hermione will discover in Chapter 15.

Thank you for your review and rating

;  yes, Hermione has stepped in it, so to speak, but she is young and a inexperienced in ways of the heart.  Her reasons for actions will be explained in Chapter 15 so stay tuned.
