It's possible in wartime that madness eventually comes for us all. Yet some madness might be carefully purchased; some sanity knowingly sacrificed. This story is such a tale.

Reviews for The Price of Madness
Albus brought back from the dead - wow -that was interesting. Poppy said that he would be as right as rain - hopefully that means the maddness will be gone. crossed fingers
The scene at the tomb is so sad - Severus struggling to do what he needs to but with half of his mind in maddness - it takes him all he can to focus - poor man
The goblin spell was great thinking and having Bill recite it was very smart. Severus is GONE - oh crap - this cannot be good - he must be going after the missing item - poor Hermione
Severus patronus was horrible but funny as all get out - the poor man. Then when Bill said Severus called him a name in the writing and Hermione asked if it was some kind of whore- I LMAO.
Great chapter
Severus is still snarky as ever and I cannot believe he would not transalate the words to English even though she got him all that he needed - he is being too difficult indeed.
Man the other names he would use were a million times worse - I do not know what is worse - whore or trollop - both sound bad. Not something you would want to be called in love - she must love him indeed
Well this chapter was all topsy tuvey - Severus did not want her to peak and now he does - that is why he has been parading around in the buff - he was upset that she was not looking and thought maybe she was not interested
Severus is jealous and Hermione is protesting a bit much - she likes him - sane or not and what a war with ethics she is having and will have
Oh crap - i fell out of my chair laughing - great line- "Ron said with a grin. After all, you wouldnt want him losing his wedding tackle
I was overwhelmed by the thought of the cost but then Severus explained to his companions that he was indeed paying for it - Severus is in true form even thought he is mad as a march hare
Severus is still Slytherin to the core- you want my help - then best dole out the money and buy me all the potion ingredients that my heart desires - sneaky sneaky man - loved it
oh man - I do think Severus has fallen for her in the capacity that he is able to do - His smirking while Ron and Harry read her the riot act was funny
Oh my gosh - who attacked Hermione when she was just outside the door - oh what a cliffhanger - on to the next chapter - must find the answer (it is like eatting popcorn- when you do that)
Well I guess Ron learned his lession in this one. Severus's reaction was heart rendering and the putting bad dreams into his head - it means something - Hermione will probably figure out what is happening like she did with the bathroom.. poor Severus
The shower scene was so bad for Hermione - Severus was right - she could not help from peeking. Poor man being so trapped in his own mind
Oh gosh - I cried over this one - now we know why Severus hates the shower - oh at the things they must have done to him- I can truly see Hermione having the patient to handle him - it very much fits her character.
Oh Severus is so sad in this story - it is like half of his mind is there and the other half is shattered - maybe Hermione will be able to help him pick up the pieces
LOL - the scene where Hermione is tucking Severus into bed is somewhere between a cross of a leecherous man and a little toddler - he changes moment to moment. This line was truly funny
"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? I horse laughed
Mad Severus is wacky as can be and funny in a very sad sad way - I can see why they all laughed because it is either that or cry.
Wonder what set Severus off and why he is shouting out them and calling them whores - this is truly a plot stumper - cannot wait till all is revealed
More background for the story- you can almost see Hermione's mind turning over each bit of information that she gathers into the puzzle.
Discontentment with the trio - secrets held, shouting matches and the secrecy -oh my what a tangled web we have
Well - I was confused by this chapter - why did Severus call Hermione a slut and a whore? I am glad that he got her out of there but his behavior was so mixed that it was upsetting - cannot wait to see where it all goes - on to the next chapter.
oh crap - Hermione is home alone with 12 deatheaters downstairs and one horny Severus upstairs - what is a witch to do with her wand in her napsack -
Oh man - poor Severus - he has lost part of his mind - the brillant man is broken and Albus the portrait is not talking about that night either. Incredibly sad but interesting story
Like some of the others here, I've never, in a year of reading and literally thousands of fanfics read, posted a review. (Shame on me, I know, but I don't really have time or energy to write more than "good job" or "please update", the latter of which, I'm sure gets old for you, especially if you are suffering from a block.) But I just can't resist adding my voice to the chorus asking you to please update this one soon. I've enjoyed your stories enough that I read this one even though it is not finished. (another of my sins - not reading too many WIPs...) I found your mad!Snape just wonderful. PLEASE keep this one going and update soon.
