I love this story. I hope you continue it!  I think it's clever the way you put Snape into the Malfoy Manor scene. I'm not great at reviews I just know when I like a story!

Interesting that Hermione doesn't tell anyone of her experiences with Snape at Malfoy Manor, despite the fact that she could have left out certain details.  And, what will Severus see the next time he has occasion to look into Hermione's mind if not her dreams?  Hmmm.Nice weaving of your story with canon.  I like your details and filler information.  I'm ready to find out where you'll take us next.  Ready for more HG/SS interaction, to be sure.Enjoy your writing.

Excellent chapter, quality writing, just like I've come to expect by now :) Loved the smut, of course, and her hesitation, which makes it the more believable :)

Liked this chapter immensely, and particularly Snape's warring emotions in the latter part :)

Love it!

I found this to be interesting and enjoyable; I liked it and I like how you described what to expect from the story. Naturally, I very much enjoyed seeing glimpses of Snape from Hermione's viewpoint. :-)

Well, it's all moving along quickly isn't it?  Bella is insane, Severus is right.  Crazy loon. 

I'm on the edge of my seat, please, please say there's an update coming soon! 

Excellently-written dream sequence! You know how to write fantasies good!

Sounding good.  Well written.  Can't wait to read more.  Thanks.

Dang, that had just about every emotion thinkable in it!

just found this story - returned to the site after a long period of RL kicking in and leaving me hardly any time to read (or write). Really very curious to know what happens next. So far, they're not OOC - the tension and attraction are quite credible, even within canon. True love between those two is another thing of course, they'll have a long way to go, not yet knowing each other at all. But this is a most promising start.

This is new. And I am cringing at the thought of what happens next.Livvy

More, more, more! :D can't wait for the next chapter, already got my beady eye spotting it's in the queue! :) x

Man, such a good chapter!
I know life makes it's demands on busy fanfic authors, but I hope you update at leassst once a week...? Pleaase?
I love the narrative and the way your story is going! I wish Snape had indeed stolen the kiss from Hermione, or that maybe they both kissed at the same time, but hopefully that will come...?
Lol you have another fan eagerly anticipating how your story comes out! :)

Definitely hate the cliffie. When Severus' anger and pride get in the way anything can happen. I like the way you explored both their feelings especially Severus panic of having to continue in this role for possibly years. Looking forward to more.

oh - quick post the 2nd half of this chapter.  I just started reading your work and quickly read all 3 installments.  You have a great storytelling voice and I look forward to reading more

like it!write more!...now!!!

oh herbologist, you are so evil with this cliffy!  Excellent!

Indeed, I am anxious to read on. You've crafted a compelling narrative and frankly I'd like to see Snape get his rocks off. Hope to see the next chapter soon!

Hey, like it so far.Bad bad Cliffie, please update soon, promise i will be a good girl and leave a review for you. ;-)

Awww.... no way! You can't stop it there!

I hardly leave any reviews these days because I fear that the authors might feel driven to adapt their stories to the "mainstream" wishes where they should - in my view - stick to their own plans. So I will only say this: can't wait indeed :-)

I, for one, am definitely, thoroughly enjoying this story, and cannot wait for the next update!!...However, if I may try to at least explain my reasons for perhaps not leaving a review before this...? Most of the time, I am not near an actual computer during the rare free time I have that I can devote to reading fanfic, and must instead read it on the tiny screen of my iPhone. For whatever reason, the TPP website and the iPhone browser are incompatible, and while I can sign in and read stories, it will not allow me to type a review. I try to remember to review the stories when I next get to a computer, but usually by then I am working and not able to take a few minutes to go to TPP and leave the much-deserved reviews. I sincerely apologize. Maybe some of your other readers have the same obstacle?

Oh my!  What else can be said?  Poor Hermione, but also poor Severus.  What will he do next?  How will Hermione react when she awakens?  So many questions - eagerly awaiting the next chapter.  Please tell me there will be some resolution?!?Enjoy your writing, great story so far.
