Wow - I knew there had to be something to turn sweet (okay, semi-sweet), insecure Severus into S&M Spouse Snape.

What a revoltin' and creepy development this is!

Okay, now, this sentence fragment looks great on paper, but did you TRY  reading it out loud before you posted???

I think it would make a good Death Eater torture device.

(just giving you a hard time...)

Voldemort cut a swathe through the throng

What a lovely chapter!

Oh, Rats! Damn! Boogers and Bloody Hell!  I usually only read completed fics.  I am the dark shadow, voyeur and vampire that comes in to nourish myself on the finished product of good writers' sweat and blood.  I get into a website, read everything and leave without a trace. (I know, I know, shame on my arse.) For some reason, I didn't check to see if this was complete...now you have me completely hooked!  Aw shite.  I may not check back often, but I will add this to my favs (computer, not site) and will check in periodically.  I may actually wait for the 'Fin' before leaving another review.  I guess I'm just a witch in that respect...sigh.  However, do not, under any circumstance, think this fic is not appreciated for the fine example of prose that it is.  You have done a masterful job so far...please continue.

hello:  Greetings from e-nuff, (Not unfinished fanfics) we are here to remind you that this is the month of Finish your fanfic, please give us a relly happy update to this wonderful story, so we can say our mision has been acomplished!!!!!!bye!!!!!

Wow! I so wrongly predicted what had caused their relationship to become what it is. I'm sure not all the details have been revealed, but it seems like Severus is to blame. I had read chapters 12-14 the other night right before sleeping and dreamt about this story. The dream gave me the idea that Hermione was going to betray Severus some how, hurt him the way Minerva had warned her not to, and her little incident of calling a wizard's debt was going to twist on her finally to give Severus complete control over her. The ring concept is really interesting. I can't wait to learn more about them. I look forward to your next chapter =)

tommy castro or alabama?

soo.... when do we get more?love it!

this is a great story! please, please update with more!

Operation Smurf the ferret. I love it. Great story.Truly

The summary says "total control." That's not a piece of jewelry (a pendant, ring perhaps?) that will let Severus control Hermione, is it? Is that the magic that has caused her to not do what she wished, and why she feels that something is wrong?

 Argh! I'm on tenterhooks waiting for the next chapter.

All You Need is Love ... I enjoyed the combined forces of Hogwarts' four houses, to complete the required elements, for the protection of all that is good (sorry about my having worded that so poorly).Wonderful choice of words to describe the events of the final battle!  I loved the imagey of the dragon.Well Done!

What a lovely, angsty chapter.  I found the story behind the snow globe especially touching. 

And you're keeping me on tenterhooks wondering just what is going with married Hermione. 

Tho' if I were her, I'd want to spank Severus for seemingly always being sexually domineering.  It feels, at times, that he is using sex as a tool to control Hermione.

In any case, that's just my thoughts, and I am very hooked on this story and can't wait to read more!  I am really enjoying this story.

I thought I bookmarked this story here, but I guess not. If I didn't decide to check for any updates manually I wouldn't have known that you've updated it here. I haven't been able to access OWL, but I did receive an email from them that this was updated

...Anyway great chapter as always. I like how you're not just glossing over Severus' reaction to being hero-worshipped. Also, the first-half of this story really lulled me to forget the chapter title, but then I remembered in the second-half. Squee!

Mmm, Legilmency sex. :P

Although I wonder what happened - surely we'll find out later?   *hopeful look*

*flail*  Zomg.  What's Eileen's problem???

Ah yes, you have so many things in here that I think will actaully pan out in the series.  I do think Snape was at Godric's Hollow, trying to get Lily (and james for that matter) to leave, I do think that the tiara in the RoR is important, and clearly I think Snape is Dumbledore's man. Sweet!

Interesting, I'm assuming that Severus promised his mom he would never marry, or did he promise not to marry a muggelborn? 

how could severus doubt hermione.  I bet if Eileen had a chance to meet Hermione personally, she would not object.  what exactly is the nature of the promise he made to his mother?  can't wait for next update.

Uggghhhh, what is he up to, what promise, what what what?  lol--awaiting the next update.

Oh, I can't believe you dedicated it to me--this wonderfully brilliant chapter of literary excellence (and you know I really do think so).  You made me blush.  But seriously, glad to help--I'm just happy (in the jittery, giggly, fangirl sense) I get to read them before every one else!

I'm glad Severus and Hermione worked out their difference regarding the debt.  After reading this chapter, I think Severus and Hermione are even more suited for each other.  I have the feeling that Hermione won't become a Curse-Breaker like she was thinking, since I don't think she would want to be away from Severus.  Things went better for Draco than I thought they would.  I don't think it was necessary for Scrimgeour to snap his wand. As Hermione said, they could've kept it, but I guess it was spite.  I'm looking forward to reading more.

Wow!  I'm guessing we are seeing a hint as to the cause of all this mess? Something is up with the "intent" issue I presume.  I have some other assumptions but I think I'll just go along for the ride ;)

I really like this fic so I'll review it here on TPP too

For a moment there you had me worried that Severus might do something stupid with Rosmerta.

Nice reconciliation scene!

Well, you had alot of action in this chapter.  Very enjoyable, I think Severus finally met his match in Hermonie, even if he had to 'slytherinise' her actions. I hope you will have a kind of epologue that shows us what Draco does after his five years are up.
