A heart-pounding chapter. So much emotion. Even though the story is written from Hermione's pov, I feel I almost know what Severus is thinking too. Or at least how he is feeling.Great job. I'm so glad she didn't fear him when he came back to visit her.And the paradox that this powerful man would want to "belong" to a lowly whore - sheer genius. Without her love he has nothing to live for. Indeed, he is nothing without her.Brilliant. More, please!

They need each other so much. I liked the way she held back on actually kissing him until then. :)

Yea another update.  This was really good and smutty.  I like that Severus is so needy of Hermione.

Wow.  Scary, powerful and touching - well done.

Oh no an evil cliffie, I do love them.  I can't wait to see who was asking for Hermione, I know who I hope it is.

I am not a fan of the " Voldermort won, everyone is dead, and Hermione is a whore " universe, but I have seen this rec'ed so many times, and heard your writing praised so often, I had to read it. This is not the first time I have read " The Princess" & it won't be the last, I don't know if I have left a review for it before, if not I am deeply ashamed, and will try to review every chapter this time. Thank you so very much for sharing this brilliant story.

this story is beyond amazing.  i seem to keep running out of superlatives but it is beyond amazing.  thanks and mucho smoochies

It was difficult to put this story down. A job very well done.

Ooh, interesting that Snape's in the midst of it all now and seemingly Voldy's right hand man.  Now to see who's requested the Princess...

HOORAY!.   "the game" was such a great concept.  Nice to see that death eaters are a bunch of gossipy old hens!  GAH - I can't wait for more.  Fantastic chappie

I love your imagination and detailing of events. I'm so enjoying re-reading this again.

Evil cliff hanger. Lovely chapter. 

Oh please tell me it is a certain very welcome visitor!  You have to think that in the midst of all of this insanity, he would need to periodically refuel his fire; remember his reason for continuing on what is sure to be a foolish, amazing, dangerous, spectacular quest to make things right.  I don't think these two are beyond repair, but it is awful that his brilliant plan has to be so slow and subtle.  It has got to be killing them both.  Please be nice to them (us?) and give them a break coming up... even if only for one night.  Keep churning out the brilliance quickly please!

This just keeps getting better. I love this story

Oh, I hope it's Snape. But I also hope that she is not too scared of him from the tales she just heard. He seemed so helpless the first time she saw him just a couple of months ago. What a change! Although I never believed he was ever helpless, it was part of his ruse to make it seem so to anyone who might have found him. That way people would let their guard down around him and feel he was not a threat.

I really enjoyed this story.  I look forward to your updates.

Oh my.  I'm glad Snape wasn't on the receiving end of any curses.  I can't wait to read what happens next!

very yummy indeed.

What can I say but wow. That was so well written. Bravo indeed.

This was a great chapter =DI loved the smooth change of perspective. It didn't require italics or other messy things. Very nice =)I'm curious to see how Hermione reacts to this news

yike!  that's one way to take over!  brilliant, our severus.  it is getting yummy now and i can't wait for the next chapter.  thanks and mucho smoochies

Severus is getting closer,I think,to at least getting Hermione with him permtelly.If not set on a plan to bring the Dark Lord down all togeather.

great update!  i wish i had something brillant to say but nope.  just that i'm really enjoying your story and many thanks

Another excellent chapter.

He would not be the type to flaunt his wealth. And it doesn't take much for a single man to accumulate wealth. With no other mouths to feed, and a house that was long ago paid for, he probably has very few expenses.Perhaps something deep inside of him told him to hang in there, that somewhere out there he would find someone who still needed him. We don't always know why some are spared when other fall to tragedy, but there is always a reason.
