oh... sooo um can you put a little playful bdsm in there? or maybe just bd? it sounds so arousing sometimes... wow I'm gonna just shut up now... great chapter as always and can't wait for the next one - btw HOW will Harry learn of our main couple if they keep obliviating him?!

Wow, each and every chapter lives up to the wait.  I live for your updates.  At first I was not to sure of this story.  I am so glad I gave it a chance.  Please update soon.

My goodness, this was a busy chapter!  Things are happening so quickly that I don't know how any of them maintain their sanity.  I'm alarmed that with Dumbledore elsewhere, Harry will not listen to anything he is being told about concentrating on learning Occlumency.  And on top of that, he is obsessed with viewing Severus' memories, and then he has to be Obliviated.  What a mess.

I'm worried, too, that Sirius may be communicating with Harry, and with his sick mind there is no telling what lies he might be telling Harry.  When Severus brought Harry in their quarters after catching him going through his Pensieve and saw Hermine there in her revealing nightgown, I thought to myself, "will that boy ever learn to follow orders?"  But then I remembered how young he is and how relentless Voldemort has been in getting into his mind, and I had to do a quick re-think.

The one thing that did seem to get better is that through the talk Severus and Hermione had when he came back from the last revel, they have been able to be intimate again.  I hope they will be able to remain that way, but with Voldemort seemingly going into high gear, I'm afraid there will be more and more required of Severus and he will feel the need to withdraw again.

I can't wait to see where you take this next!Beth

I do hope Hermione is right.

I don't know why, but it seems that the upcoming chapters will be quite tense.Poor Severus! He's so distressed and confused ... And also poor Harry, he just keeps getting Obliviated!The previous chapter was really good, I hadn't have time to read it before. Can't wait to read more!

Scary scary, oh shit, scary and then, guh/ With a side dish of drool.~Mia

Well, Hermione handled that rather poorly! Rather than try to fabricate half truths that would appease Harry, such as having read about Regulus and Marlene, that Marlene was in Gryffindor the same time as his parents – that in the old papers she’d read how Travers had killed Marlene… and she’d equated the story to herself and Sirius Black in her nightmares. The Occlumency is easy enough – she was practically Snape’s apprentice and she’d been learning it hoping to be able to help him –to find out why it was so hard for him  – only he resists learning. To his determent.  But no, she’s silent and lets Harry get all frustrated to the point that he’s not trusting her anymore. That’s a significant swing from canon.   Then he looked in the Pensive and saw the truth and Severus Oblivated him again. These holes are going to tear a rift between Harry and Hermione, irreparable – and when he NEEDs her he won’t trust her!

At least Severus and Hermione are back on track and things seem all right between them.

I loved it in canon when Umbridge put a ban on The Quibbler. I was appalled that Hermione Oblivated Harry, but understand as to why. good chapter. I knew that when she finally alllowed Severus 'in' she would be fine. 

Those are dangerous last words. Very nice chapter.

Oh dear, the calm before the storm I'm afraid.  It was a nice healing chapter for them, even if things are going to get bad again.  I'm glad that he knows he can tell her what he is thinking and feeling, even if it doesn't come easily to him.  I think that is going to be important the further into this mess that they get.  There are so many emotions running high right now.  Aside from the obvious between Severus and Hermione, Harry is confused, and angry, and scared.  That on top of the myriad of emotions that are coursing through a normal teenage boy.  And Hermione, I don't think anyone can quite comprehend how hard it is for her to constantly be amongst teenagers when she is so much more mature.  How can she really even relate anymore?  And how many times can they obliviate Harry before it starts causing damage?  In canon, we really don't know much of what goes on when the deatheaters get together.  You did a nice job filling in the gaps and applying the appropriate emotions from Severus.  It kind of makes you wonder how he survived as long as he did in canon with noone to care for him.I am more eager than ever to continue on in this tale.  Keep 'em coming quickly!

Yay for Sev and Hermione being all right again.  :)  The whole chapter was great, but you probably knew I was going to say that... I wish my reviews could be a bit more original.  Oh well.  :)  I can't wait to find out what in the world you are going to do with 6th year.  Happy Thanksgiving Livvy. ~Barb

Nice chapter, I was surprised by Severus's sexual desires.  Good thing Hermione is OK with it.

Nice chapter!  Liking how Hermione and Severus are getting caught out  more, with the pensieve, Hermiones dreams and the legimens debacle.Poor harry though, oblivated twice. Might he go a little brain damaged? I like the twist with Severus admitting his darker desires... kinda hoping they dabble....teeheethanks for the great chatperxo

someday this whole Obliviating-Harry thing is going to have to be resolved.  I'm worried.  When is she going to stop letting it happen?  In your arc, is hermione going to go on the camping trip with harry?  I worry that there are going to be some trust issues here...

He will need all the support he can get over the next year. :)

yay!  it finally happened.  these things take time, especially how the assault happened.  terrific update.  thanks and much smoochies

Finally they were able to share the intimacy that Sirius had denied them with his horrid attack on Hermione.  This was a very big step for Hermione, and I'm so glad that Severus had been able to give her the time to come to terms with her warring emotions.  His eloquent appeal for her to help him understand what was going through her thoughts was filled with love and need.  He needed to know so he would know how to help her instead of frighten her.  Thankfully she was able to unburden herself to him, and tell him the things she had not been able to tell anyone.  It's as if a dam holding in tons of hurt and fear had begun to dissolve with a very small break, and finally the dam burst and let all of the old and festering pain flow away.  The healing had begun... for both of them.Thank you for this very emotional and satisfying chapter.  Well done.Beth

Yay, progress!  It is funny how the fear of doing something is usually so much worse than the actual doing it.  Now that this bridge is crossed, they are well on their way to getting back to good.

Finally progress! great chapter.

Yay, they might be back to normal!  I'm relieved that Hermione zapped Harry's memory of seeing her as a long-ago student, but not looking forward to seeing Sirius' next appearance in the story.  Disaster-ville!  Thanks for the new chapter.

Yay, they're back!! Great work!

She's finally moved along in her healing. I'm surprised she didn't tell Severus this story sooner. The Obliviate on Harry was great.

Glad they worked that out.

Very nice. A few more obliviates might do Harry some good.

Finally, their back together!!! =D Okay, now when Harry sees into the pensive is Hermione or Snape going to oblivate him then too? And if they keep obliviating him then how is he ever going to realize the truth like you said he would?
