Firstly let me just say you are a very talented writer! I spent a good chunk of my evening catching up to this point in the story (as if I had a choice! your characterizations are so fun to read!) and I've loved every second of it.

HOWEVER. That cliffhanger almost killed me. Seriously i'm beginning to empathize with crack addicts and that is never a good sign.

Squee! One question though, when Severus climaxes will he be humming "Ode to Joy"? Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Whatever made you think we, your faithful readers, would consider graphic naughtiness cause for warning?

Next chapter, please?

OMG! Please update soon. My heart is going to leap out of my chest. The anticipation is killing me!!!

Wow! I have been tracking this story thru Ashwinder (3 chap.) only to find it here. AND there are more chapters! This is so good and feels so personal. Any updating on your part will bring wild promises on my part as to Choc., undying devotion to your writing..etc. so may I add pleeeze!

Meeting in person would be a perfect idea . . . if they didn't already know each other. I wonder how easily they will be able to continue thinking of the other as they are now rather than what they used to be. Will Severus really be willing to have sex with Hermione and Hermione with him? They will probably need time to rethink the circumstances before deciding to continue a face-to-face relationship. I love the story so far! I am quite eager to read what happens next!

No more tether hooks!  I can't stand the suspense.  I eagerly await your update.  This chapter was so well done, I think that I have to read it again and savor it!

Oh, please update soon!! Great chapter!

Argh! You've left us with a terrible cliffhanger... but I suppose with the promise of lemons ahead... so add me to the throng of readers begging you to update soon (or when RL permits). :)

I am sure your audience is cheering!   Thanks for the update.  what a sweet story. and well-written.  

you horrible, evil little person (and i mean this in the nicest sense). how could you leave us hanging like that? I eagerly await your update.

Oh golly - update soon please!

Nice Lemons!One wonders if someone is meddling with their fantasies. ;)

I am so glad that you've updated! Your Snape is snarky and believable. It was worth the wait, and please keep it going!

lordy, lord...you just have to get these two together!  i am really enjoying their conversation by correspondence, tho.  thanks so much and i look forward to the next chapter.

Hi, this is good stuff, it reminds me of 'The Last Word' which is the first ever HG/SS fic I ever read and so has a special place in my heart!  Any idea how long it's going to be and how often you'll update?  I don't wanna sound too impatient, but I never usually read wips and this has got me hooked already!Good work!x

Wonderful.  Hermione's contract does not limit HIS involvement.  It just limits hers.  Or that's how it looked from how I read it. 

I am enjoying this story.  I think you have captured their characters in their letters.  And the bits where they are thinking about stuff lets us know about their pasts.  Very good chapter, looking forward to more!

Wow, the correspondances were wonderfully written. I love how they sparred and eventually became literally 'penpals.' It's too bad that she and he are wrapping things up. I'm also amased that with the amount of persone information neither has figured out who the other is. 

I'm really enjoying this.  I feel so sorry for Severus who has had such a dissapointing life full of hardships.  Yes I know he once was a death eater and he spied when he had a change of heart, but still, it was a dark and lonely life he led.

Nice start.  I loved the Newspaper advertisement and Severus's response.

Hello There!  I love this story!  I was wondering if I was going to get to see more.  I was kinda afraid that it was abandoned...  Thanks For The Update!!  This is such a cute plot and I can't wait till they figure out who eachother is.  I figured since she said that she was a Gryffindor, and he knows how old she is he'd be able to figure out who she is by that.  But it looks like he's not that intrested in who she is but what her presence in his life is doing for him.  Oh man, great Great story.  I can't wait for Chapter 3!  Cheers!  ~Brena

I love it! I want to see them together soon! ^^ keep up the good work!

Great chapter! :)

Great story! I can't wait for more!! I can't believe she didn't remember his birthday, he did mention it...and something seemed to be leaking from his eyes!!! Amazing!
