why isn't anything simple ? How are they going to overcome the fact that order members are bound to wander 12GP ? I hope to find out soon ! 

Ooh, excellent chapter! Poor Snape, must be so strange for him. Thanks for updating, Pookie.

Another interesting & touching chapter.

I really like this grown up Harry and Draco.  It is a very nice change/progression for these characters.  You have crafted a very intriguing story.  I want to know what your characters know (and what you know) right now, but that is the mark of you being better than just good at what you do.  So I will wait, because I know I will enjoy the journey you take us on to get to the answers as well as the answers themselves.  Thanks for sharing.  I look forward to more very soon.  JoAnne

This is one of the best Snape/Hermione stories that I've ever read!!! And you're imagination is AMAZING!!! The Albus return to life was very very well done!!! YOU ROCK ;)I hope you'll UPDATE SOON 'cause I won't be able to sleep well till the end of this story ;)CYA!

Good God you can't leave us like this.  I love Severus like this.  It's such a cute picture even if he calls everyone a whore.  I am in love with this fic.  Good job

"yampy"??  Ooh, I'm getting an education from this story!!  I'm very glad Hermione has healed up most of his ailments (does he need nutritional potions too?) and hope she can feed him decently.  Exceptionally nice to see Harry and Ron acting in a more mature manner than they have in the HP books, regarding Severus, Draco, and the memory of Sirius.  Thanks for letting Sevvy have a nice nap!

“I still don’t like it,” Ron said stubbornly.OH, but SW loves it. Muahahaha. *such a naughty little whore...*

"What do you think the other Order members are going to do when they pop in and find the man who killed Albus talking to the potted plants?”

HA!  You are so good.  You ratchet the tension up, then you present a serious problem in a way that forces a laugh!  I'm loving it! 

I love the dynamic that's developing between Hermy and Sev, between Harry and Draco... you're really bringing these characters to life!

And I love the way you managed to make Severus coo.

Is there anything I can do/offer that will speed up the writing progress?  Because I want more!  More, I tell you! 

Hi,I love this Severus, although I hope he snaps out of his craziness when the "Dark Whore" is dead. I giggle everytime he says "whore".  I think he has detached himself from reality a bit so he can deal with the "pain" of it at a later time when "DW" is gone.  Hermione should be able to help there. Keep up the great writing.

I saw a few emails begging for an update so I decided it was worth a try and read the first few chapters.  Before I knew it I had spent the last 4 hours reading the whole thing!  I loved it!  great job so far! my mom works for the humane society so I would rather donate in my part of country to the local one, but its definately a worthy cause; good luck with the walk!

Another great interesting chapter.

Congratulations and thanks for intending to finish the story. Though I sort-of consider it finished already. The madness is over, we know why, they have sorted out their relationship and the rest is just not really important. Or funny.

Much love, adoration, happiness, and other good things.  Admiration and glee. Other good things.   Squeels and scares everyone in the vicinity.

Now that's what I'm talking about! Bravo! Great chapter! Thanks for the update. I am so happy Hermione didn't leave things like that. I just hope he doesn't get upset when he wakes and finds her gone...

Finally!!!!!  I'm so gald Hermione and Severus had some "them" time!  And what a cute littel reunion scene! 

Yea! Severus is sane again, Hermione had the courage to straighten out the misunderstanding between them, snogging has commenced, and all is right with the world.  At least their universe.  As for the rest of the wizarding world, I guess we we find out in later chapters.  Thanks for the update.  Congratulations on your personal endeavors.

Lovely chapter!! I have missed you writing this very much! As you one knew, I'm in bad health here, so there is no way I could even drop you a dollar or two, since I still have no money coming in, and am still in the hospital. I do wish you the best! Its a great thing you doing for little furry ones!!Hope to see more dear!Jules

this must be my month for making charitable contributions, so I'm totally on board with giving to your worthy cause. I know it's not obvious, what with my menagerie of fantastical beasts (shut up, guinea pigs are totally fantastical! As are weird little birds!), but I'm an animal activist through and through, and I think that the Humane Society is the rockinest organization for the little furries. They're not as in-your-face as PeTA, and they're bent on education, not eradication, of pets. So....long story short, I'm proud of you, Pookie. I'm proud and I think that you rock. Good for you, getting your life in order. I figured that there was a reason behind your not posting as much lately, and it's an excellent reason. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to support you during this time of awesomeness that you're going through. Oh-and this chapter was great. I'm really missing the smut still, but the kisses were hot and fab. Your loving and adoring fan,Auntie Zambi (or "Hottie" as the niece says.)

Great update!  Thanks for helping Hermione make Severus see sense.  The trio's light banter at the end made me smile, too.  Good job!

Phew! I'm glad to see Severus behaved himself (mostly) and didn't make things difficult for Hermione (well, not in an angsty way).I look forward to more soon!

A great chapter, thank you! ^_^

I am so so so so so (i think you get the idea) happy that you updated!

Love the chapter, but please dont torture us by making us wait long for the next one please, i beg of you! :)

-KarlaMarie

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!! I think I am only one of a whole lot of "The price of madness" fans who thinks you are the best thing in the world next to chocolate and icecream today! This story is so totally brilliant, there is no words to express my joy when I saw the notice telling me that a new chapter had been added. And what a chapter, it was hot, it was great, it was exellent, and Harry and Ron's questions and reactions at the end of the chapter was really icing on the cake! Please don't let us wait for such a long time for the next update, but rest asure that if it takes some time; chapters likt this one makes us forgive everything!

YAY you updated!!  LOVE this chapter.  I love the way Hermione takes charge of their little misunderstanding.  Congratulations on your weightloss, I wish I could get motivated enough to do it too.  Can't wait for some more story.  Cheers!
