Great story so far!  I hope you update soon.  I don't know what else to say.  I usually review only when a story is completed as I dislike reading stories that are WIP's as some authors do abandon their stories and that is frustrating especially when they have peaked my interest.I will occasionally read a WIP when the summary has peaked my interest as yours has done.  I then comment on what has been written (as above) and hope this will encourage updates.  So please, please, please continue with this story.  I really would like to read the rest of it!Thanks.  

I like your story! I'm fairly new to this site and just read this for the first time tonight. Hope you'll update soon -- I'm horrible at suspense. Can I put in a request for a happy ending? Or just content myself with Ron being slapped a few times because I SO want to do that myself. *wink*

What a horrible place to leave it. I just started reading this fic and its near impossible to put it down, but that was definitely a cruel place to leave us. I am eagerly awaiting the next update.

Brilliant!!  Well done!!

Cheers,

Great chapter! Hermione's breakdown is very well written - very believable. It seems very IC for her to feel guilt & responsibility over the events in the DoE, although she did try to dissuade Harry from going. Also, I haven't quite figured out what she doesn't want Snape to discover, although I have a few theories. You are doing a terrific job of teasing us over it, though. I much prefer to be kept guessing than to figure it out before the author reveals it. Much more fun this way!

Wicked In Progress... Gah. I want the next chapter like you wouldn't believe, and the rest of the story even more. Love it, doll. Happy writing!

Oh My!

I'm a sucker for Alice in Wonderland, so I did love that part. And though I know I stated this once, its a slow moving story, but i'm really starting to get into it.

[Quote]"Since you have a certain lack of confidantes at the moment, I offered myself up on a plate, Miss Granger.[end Quote] *Is now melting into a puddle.. I have just noticed that this is pg13, upon which I never read, for I normally like my smut, but man, that was wonderful!!! I would so give you ten stars just for the last of this chapter if I could!

If I was Mione in these last few chapters, I think that I would of either of been in some weird universe that wasn't my own, or that I had died, so I don't blame her at all, for thinking that Snape is acting weird, and when you wrote in that he smiled and she was sure then that she had died, I was overly happy with that, you really do have Mione pegged down. And I like seeing authors whom can do that!Fencing????? Oh my!

Meh! I do love me a good cliif hanger! And I do love this one!

Oh my! Wonderful chapter dear... It was quite refreshing, though again, I'm trying to figure out who poly juiced themselves into Professor Snape lol.

I came a on here once you posted in a certain "Yahoo groups" page that you had made another post to this one, and seeing that I'm a huge fan of Lotm I joined to beable to read all of her things, but then I started to read some other peoples stuff about SS/HG, and might I say, I haven't been let down yet by anyone.. And so far so good, it seems its a shaky start, meaning that it kind of shows that things are gonig to start off slowly, but I do love your images you put in ones head with your detail, so I do hope, and shall read more.

Very mean leaving us hanging like that, to answer your question at the end of the chapter.I enjoyed the update and am still enjoying the story. I'd like a little more background description to go with the scenes because that would help ground me more into the story. Something about Hermione noticing the scents when running, or what she sees in the backyard or the feel of the wood at the table. I think these would help.I've enjoyed the story and look forward to more.Keket

Lovely chapter.. I'm starting to agree with Mione! "How was that, and what had they done to professor Snape?"

I know this is very hypocritical of me, but you had better update soon!  If you don't, Shacklebolt might not come to play again

The chapter title:  Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" -- "In the midnight hour, she cried, 'More, More, More.  With a rebel yell, ..."

Excellent reason for Hermione's breakdown and nice scene between the two following it. 

BAH! why stop it there!! evil evil woman!

love your story and hang desperately in waiting for your next update...

You're not mean for leaving us hanging - you're evil!But if you update quickly, I'm sure nobody would mind. :) Anyway, I still can't figure out what Hermione's hiding, and why Snape is the last person she wants to know. I'm especially eager for the next chapter to find out. I wonder what Snape will say about finding Hermione crying in the grass? The images were odd - and very creepy. This story is just so good, and I really can hardly wait for more. Please update again soon!

I was thinking Hermione is agonizing over how close the "Ministry Mission" came to possibly exposing Snape's role as spy for the Order.  Yes?  No?  Next chapter tomorrow? 

Enjoyable, highly so.

Again, this chapter is spirited, which is good. It makes me want to read more. :-)

Well, that prologue surely makes me crave for more already!

So far, what I find is that your writing has spirit, which is something I don't think one can learn. Well done! 

I have to admit, I am quite fascinated with this story.

Snape's motives for being so nice? I'm not entirely certain, but considering what lies in the future, it certainly couldn't hurt to have a member of the trio not completely hating him and aware that things aren't necessarily what they seem with Snape.

Teaching Hermione 'cunning' could certainly go a ways toward giving Hermione better understanding of how the Slytherin mind works.

The mental and physical discipline involved in fencing would give Hermione better focus and control...and I suspect Snape figures that it might curb her very Gryffindor impulsive streak.

All in all, Snape's training will not only make Hermione a much more effective witch, but will also give him the opportunity to groom a powerful and well-placed potential ally.

GREAT chapter, I very much look forward to the next!

I have enjoyed what you have written so far and am intrigued by where this will go. Thank you for writing and I look forward to your next update :)
