Unequivocally brilliant. 

Love it!!! So funny!!! I love how SUSPICIOUS Snape is! On point!

I'm glad to see an update of this fic. It has an interesting tone and perspective for Severus. I look forward to seeing how it develops.

I absolutely love this chapter! I love how Snape is reduced to a panicky schoolboy when Granger slides up beside him at the party. Damn Slughorn and Draco for ruining Snape's evening!

Eeeeeeh! I am in hysterics over the wireless lyrics, and poor Severus's scramble-headed notions of conversation starters.  Such a pity he didn't get that dance.  His fear that Draco had achieved is goal, and the time to kill Albus was on him … ooh, ~shivers~

I do enjoy this slightly perverse!Snape... 

Hmm... I feel sad for Severus more than thinking that he is creepy.Hermione`s training is really bearing fruits. That must have been what she was doing all through sixth year, which would only be logical Thank you and anticipating more.

We're getting along in tme, can't wait to see how the Lightning Struck Tower plays out. I'm loving watching Hermione growing in strength and confidence, with her two best friends completely oblivious. No wonder they were shocked at how powerful she'd become when they went on the run together.

I have to say, I'm very glad to see another update. Your way of writing Snape's thoughts is excellent. I also must compliment the WONDERFUL Dumbledore portrayal. Overindulged, eh? And the mustaches... heehee.

Another captivating chapter. Severus`s private ruminations and actions are both compelling and appalling. Thank you and looking forward to more.

Mmmm duellist Snape, you've totally found my kink. Poor Severus,  always having to pretend he doesn't care. Events are closing in.

Just wonderful, as always! I think I always praise your Snape's voice, and here it's just as excellent, but I think Hermione also shines through a bit more clearly, whether because of his scrutiny in tandem with her words, or her words alone. Overall, you handle your characters very well and with such great diction.

I love, love, love this story! I am simultaneously appalled, fascinated, and disturbingly drawn to the Snape you portray. He reminds me slightly of a more relatable, less sinister H.H. (of Lolita). Though I do wish we had Hermione's POV as well, if only to compare to... I wonder if she is truly oblivious to his attentions, as well as if she harbors any of her own --- which is beside the point, of course, she being the innocent in the vulnerable position, the lamb being circled by the wolf, as it were.I can't wait until the next update!

Oh good greif he even puts footnotes in his letter to her. I had to giggle through the first few paragraphs of insults to the reader. Im going to read it anyway Snape and you cannot stop me!

The line "fraternization with the enemy" is becoming a catch phrase, much as "off with their head" became to Alice's Red Queen.  But in Hermione's case, it's associated with a warning or security breach in her mind.

You hint at such an intimate and sensual ( not meaning sexual) legilimency. No wonder Sev hated his lessons with Harry!

Fascinating just how closely Sev is paying attention to Hermione.

Irascible Snape is irascible, but not Dark, nice touch that.

I like sev's viewpoint on hermione's maturing intellect.

Oh my, so much to love here. Wizards still believing in spontanious generation, Severus admiring the scottish moor, in such rich wondrous sensuround detail. And with pumpkin in his hair.

Wow, fabulous writing. I feel like I'm reading Poe or Hawthorn for the sensual imagery and despairing tone. It just makes you want to sit in a library at midnight and set out statuary to lure ravens. Love's silken web, made by the wriggling caterpillar.  heehee :o)

Love this fic and glad to see an update. You weave Snape's narrative voice with great skill. The occlumency was also well done, the insights into the subject, as well as the practical portion, in which you focused on everything that was interesting; it all flowed very smoothly, like the memories themselves :) Thanks again.

Loving the story.  I think maybe the dream was a bit long for me.  Hey, I have ADHD, if I can't pay attention to something, I just can't.  LOL.  Poor Severus.  His dream at the end is too close to truth.  I hope Miss Granger can somehow help him.

This is fun!

Ah, well done !!  You're going to make us flex those brain cells, aren't you, and actually enable us to READ - not skim, or drift, or meander but READ !!!  Splendid !!
