Oh, a lovely time in the tub.  I am glad that they both opened up a bit about their pasts.  And then it all went down hill from there.  Gulp.

I love this story. couldn't put it down and now i have to until you update. i hope it will be soon.

I am so glad that they made up without any further drama.  And they both realized that they were partly to blame for the fight which means that maybe they will be more aware next time their tempers flare.  And then it got smutty.  All good things in this chapter. :)

This was a creepy chapter.  *shivers*  I hope Hermione can come to terms with her emotions, or I fear she will become what she hates most about her enemies.  The way she hurt Severus at the end of this chapter is the thing I worry about most.  She is in a very precarious place now.  Hopefully she will be able to center herself again and avoid going off on these tangents of vengeful imagination.Beth

It's frightening how far down that dark path Hermione has gone.  The fact that she is having thoughts of exacting revenge on those who deserve it is perfectly normal.  Daydreaming about the specifics of how she would do it is a little more disturbing, but still has some semblance of normalcy.  If she actually goes through with it in any venue other than actual battle, she just may have gone too far.

It concerns me in the end that she treated Snape the way she did.  She is low on allies right now, so she needs to tread carefully.  He has been so patient and kind, I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble between them.

Thoughts of revenge are normal. Acting on them are not. Whether Hermione acts on them or not is telling of her character. ^_^

Crazy chapter. I can't be angry at her for what she imagined nor felt. Was it morally wrong? Yes. But we all have wanted revenge and justice on those that haved wronged us the most. The insanity only comes when we feel compelled to act upon those feelings. Being amoralistic is no way to live.

Ooh interesting.  I hope they come to some kind of understanding.

This is a really fantastic story, well done! I'm in for the long haul but just how long are you planning to make it? :))))

What an awful dream!  And even more creepy is the fact that she says she's never been there.  I hope that she has seen it and just doesn't remember rather than her having some sort of premonition or look inside of someone dark's head.  It is going to take some time to forget that one.  I'm glad he stayed with her.

OH!  That nightmare was so realistic, the worst sort.  I've only had a few like that in my lifetime, but the memory of them can still give me shivers.  I hope this isn't some sort of premonition.  I'm glad Severus stayed with her for the night.  I wouldn't have wanted to be by myself either after having such a dream.Beth

...and they draw even closer together. I don't mean to sound so fluffy, but Awwww!

A prophetic dream, perhaps? ^_^

Wonderful, scary chpater....we have all had dreams where when we wake are not sure it they were dreams or reality.

That was one hellva nightmare. Has Hermione ever been to the Riddle family plot? How did she know what it looks like? OH NO I sincerely hope the dream is not a portent of events to come. No nonononono

I will admit that I, too, am worried about Draco.  Surely now he will do his best to survive so that he can pursue a certain Miss Lovegood.

What a nice moment between Severus and Hermione.  Good thing she didn't stick to her guns about no romantic entanglement.  It does complicate things in a war, but also gives them more incentive to make it through.  I am certainly a fan of Snape/Hermione jump right into bed stories, but if I'm honest, a slow buildup to their relationship is much more rewarding.

Lovely, as always.

Oh, how romantic.  Severus kissed Hermione, and my heart did little flips.  This was a very nice way to end the chapter, m'dear.  And I hope things between Draco and Luna can reach a similar place.

Woo hoo!
Beth

Arrgghhh!  Dumbledore and Moody are absolute arses.  I kinda wish Hermione's magic would have found its way to the Headmaster and given him a right thwacking, but that would only have made more trouble for Hermione.  But I highly approve of what she told the old bastard before she and Severus left to return home. 

Beth

Rather liked the play on words: Chapter title "Den of Iniquity" and we get their first kiss.  And a den is the American version of a sitting room (at least to my understanding) *teehee*  Don't know if that was planned but I like it.Good chapter.  Thanks.

No, it's not enough. You're dragging this out to torture us, you Death Eater you! *grin* It's a good chapter and I have to agree with Hermione. I'm worried about Draco. ^_^

Beautiful!  I love the interactions between Severus, Hermione and Draco.  Draco and Luna is a good pairing, I think.  Luna is so open and accepting.  Draco needs that and also could learn some of that from Luna.  I hope he survives!

I did not know you had another another masterpiece on the go!! I love your stories, so I have forgone what I proposed to do tonight and read every single chapter of this that you have posted so far, and like a Hermione so glad I did! I can't wait to hear where they go from here.

Oh, that was about time! The moment bloomed exactly when it should have.

I adore Draco with Luna! Oh please dont kill either one of them off!! I am glad Hermione and Severus shared a smooch. I think they should take comfort in each other while they still can. Preferabley on Albus' desk.

Its going to take a month before the potion can do its work? ACK! I hope he likes the scent and wears it consistantly. ((wibbles))
