I realize [and thank you for] the time and effort put into the creation of one chapter, much less the whole story ... but it is sooo depressing when I'm engrossed in reading and suddenly the chapter ends. {sigh}

Please, make more words. The ones I had are gone. 

Interesting development - Bill's alarm at the parchment was particularly impressive.Couple of typos or Britpicks - I'm not sure which they are."knocking out a couple walls" - don't know if this is an error or an Americanism, but a Brit would say "a couple of walls"."I think that she’d be right good at it" - a Brit would say "very good at it" or "really good at it" - they wouldn't say "right good at it" unless they had a strong regional dialect which Bill doesn't have.

MORE MORE!!!Bravo!!

She had hoped that the day would bring her some answers. So far it had only brought her more questions. Hermione isn't the only one confused.  Am so glad there was an update to this fic; keep up the awesome story!

LMAO! That was so funny! I love this story!

Ach! That's it? I've been waiting and waiting for an update, and I'm done reading it far too soon. This story is exceptional, by the way.

YEAH! So happy to see a new update. This story is very intriguing and as always I eagerly await the next installment. Thank you for writing

Aaaak!  I'm dying to find out what's up with the scroll, as well as why Bill took Hermione to the vault.  And I loved Severus exploding things.  Hurry with the next update!

Author's Response: I'm working on the next chapter even as we speak, and Bill has a lot to say in it!  Thanks!  :)

I am sure I am the millionth person to say this, but its true - the price of madness is the reward of getting to the end of this story. This chapter has once again taken me one step closer to sheer addiction. Too many questions, but too wonderful to give up.

Lovely new chapter, I have been waiting a long time for this:-) A lot of new questions though, hopefully you will reveal some of the secrets for us soon:-) Again, happy to see a new chapter to my wip story!!!

Hurray! An update! So sorry to hear about your betas. I'm glad that everyone is safe and sound. I am eagerly awaiting updates to see how this plays out!!!

Excellent! “Go ahead,” she muttered peevishly, “blow yourself to bits. See if I care.”I could just see Hermione in my head at that particular moment, pouting, hands thrown up in the air, shaking her head in disbelief.I really love the shift in dynamics now that Severus is calling Hermione 'Trollop' instead of 'Whore'. It's a softer sounding word - I use it myself, more often than not when loosing my temper.YaY! Old fashioned cuss words.

This is a really exceptional piece of fiction- my favorite by far of the WIPs I wait oh so patiently for.  Thanks!  I cannot wait to find out what Severus has written in Gobbledegook, nor to get more of his insults.  Endlessly amusing!

So delighted to find an update of this great story this morning! I'm supposed to be working - but I had to read this first - and glad I did; it's a brilliant way to start the day with a good story and a laugh: (“I am perfectly fine, trollop,” he said, brushing ineffectually at the front of his shirt. “Why wouldn’t I be?”“Why wouldn’t you be?” Hermione practically shouted. “You’ve blown up the lab!”)

Sigh... I can never get enough of your writing, but this chapter, I really need more of your writing!!  What's on the parchment?!  Vault 713 - is that still officially Dumbledore's vault? No hidden Philosopher's Stone residue still there, right? And Severus messed up a potion so bad that it went boom?? Detention for Potions-whore!  (preferably with Plaid-Whore...)

yay update. i have been reading and rereading this story so i do not forget the story. let me just say another intreaging (i think thats how you spell it) chapter. i hope you update soon. i dont think i have enjoyed a story more than this one.

Awww, snogging is tops, in my book.  There is always room in the world for more Severus/Hermione snogging.  His matter-of-fact statement about "things explode" was hysterical.  I am, of course, dying to know what is written in Gobbletygook on the scroll in Hermione's purse.  I am happy to hear that you plan to update more often.  Thanks, Pook!

Love it.  The watching is an interesting trend.  Loved the "blownupsnape".  Questions, questions, questions.  Whatever shall we do with you.  As long as we don't have toooo long to wait . . .

Abso-fricken-lutely fantabulous! (as expected) Now we're all just waiting on the next chapter. (Pook hard at work)Or else more than Severus' explosions will haunt your dreams. (can you tell I was in an emoticon mood?) ;-)

Interesting chapter.  Hmmm.  The vault where the Sorceror's Stone was?  Could it be Dumbledore's vault?  Or one kept by Hogwarts or the Order?  I love it! 

   More snogging!!!  

You can't leave us there! I want to knowwwwwww.

Erk...... more questions than answers, Pook, and I loved the bit about Severus watching her sleep. Creepy, but in a nice way... kinda!

Looking forward to more! 

Is it just me or did Sev seem a little more sane? Lovely chapter enjoyed every bit

OHHH!!!  This is great!!  I think I see what Bill was getting at, and that you thought to use it is very clever!  Wonderful, and Severus being happy at Hermione's declaration of love was touching.  I'm still quite curious as to what he is on about with that potion.  Apparently it is a volitile substance, if it's blowing up the basement.  Ah, well, my detective skills are rusty, so I'll just have to wait for the big reveal.  Thanks for another fun chapter.

Now who could have used Dark Magic to empty that vault? I can't wait to here the explanation!
