Great chapter. So Severus does love her? Or is it Adin.

I think he had his chance then, but I would have thought Hermione would have worked it out now. Plus even if shedid I dont think well I hope it wouldn't make a difference in the long run maybe at first.

This sooo sad. Hopefully it gets better soon... Great chapter though!!

She knows...and it's about damn time too.Will the deaging potion only work until Severus is 18 again?

Did she feel him go into her mind?  Wait, she did it on purpose, she wanted him to look, she told him to open his eyes.  Does she already know and is trying to confirm it?

Aw no! I wish he'd just tell her! I'm getting into this haha

I feel bad for both Severus and Hermione. Severus is fighting his feelings for Hermione because she thinks he's Adin, and poor Hermione can't figure out what's wrong. She's getting all mixed signals. One moment Severus wants her, the next he pushes her away. I just hope he doesn't push her away permenantly.

ah, such agony!  part of me wishes he could just be adin and live a new and happier life.  but then i also want him, snape, to be accepted and loved for exactly who he is.  you captured that obsessive desire that one feels at that age (ha! like it's so much different as one matures) very well.  this chapter had me misty-eyed on more than one occasion.  i am putty in your hands, and happy to be so.  :D

The scene with Longbottom may be my favorite. I wonder what he would think if he realized who is delivering all this helpful advice?  Has Hermione figured it out?

Oh, how agonizing.

I can't believe that she hasn't figured it out yet. I feel that she will, but I would hope that he might tell her the truth before she admits to him that she knows. That way she will forgive him and love him whenhe goes back to his older self.

Or perhaps he can never be cured and must live his life out as Aiden. Now, would that be so bad? Hummm...

Wow, really cool so far. Can't wait for more!

Oh I feel so bad for him - but it all is perfect!  Thanks for such a well characterized 17/38 year old man.  Cheers to your hub/significant other/friend/brother/etc. if he's giving you insight - grand job as always - where will it go next?

Well, I knew he would push her away, but to do it twice is harsh.  OUCH.  But even though it hurts, I want to read more!

I am sooooo enjoying this story!  What a Jeykle & Hyde going on in Severus/Adin!!  Who will win?  What age will he/they stay?  What name will she call out at night?...surely NOT Jared's?! 
When did Severus take the dark mark? 1-right after his 18th birthday or 2- at end of the school year?  Do we have a few months or many months for you to play with us...er I mean them??

I love your writing; and you are one of two writers who I can count on to finish a story!!  Yeah!!!

ps- Go Neveille!

I think he has a good point.  What's wrong with staying in this reality and starting his life over?  I can't help but think this was Dumbledore's plan all along - that he isn't so keen to find out about the "deadly charm" but Severus would never have agreed if he knew that up front, hence the ruse.  And Hermione is the savior because she is the reason he decides to stay young.  That explains the prophecy.

Very interesting two chapters... If she doesn't find out now, her name's not Hermione :-)

Geez, why doesn't he just tattoo his real identity to his forehead? She has to know now! The adolescent angst is so palpable here, I feel like I'm back in high school . Thanks for the quick updates!

Oh the drama! More, please!

Poor Adin! His mind is in a turmoil.

Such agony! To be at war with one's own self.

Thanks for the quick updates.  Well from I'm too old for you will she figure it out?

oh noes! ~smushes her face against the glass and waves frantically at them both~ NOOOOOOO! sev! sev! just tell her! its hermione! she's not like lavendar or...or...paris hilton! she won't care because we don't want her to care that yer Sev! ~breaks free and grabs sev and drags him back and shakes him until he agrees to talk to her~ i win!

Ah yes, the truth is revealed. She cares for him, and she always has.

What a fascinating story line. I'm so glad that I stumbled upon it.

Great update!  Adin's slip about being too old for her will surely be the last hint Hermione needs... nicely done.  Looking forward to more......

Poor Hermione. She has no idea what's bothering Severus, even though she doesn't know it's him yet. But with the snarkiness he's showing, it'll only be a matter of time before she figures it out. Especially with the comment he made about being too old for her.

thank you for a wonderful read this morning - now if we can just knock some sense into Adin/Severus and if Hermione can figure out who he really is.....
