Interesting first chapter - it was scary the way that he behaved with Draco. Who is at the front door of the manor - this could be the end of Narcissa and how will Lucius take it that Severus has had his woman. Cannot wait for Chapter 2

Interestinger and interestinger ;-)

I loved this chapter! Tonks careless words have Hermione wondering how he really feels about her and her about him! I loved her reaction when realizing it was Snape--it was very realistic. The plot is surely thickening! MORE MORE MORE!

Loved this story from the beginning to the end. Thank you darling for completing it.Love Sonia :)

I loved this!  Your whole story is so detailed, I got lost in it.  I especially liked that Rudolphus and Rabastan were distinctly different people.  Not just interchangable bad guys with 'R' names.  I also liked that you gave an answer to the question of where did Regulus Black went.  I love this story!!!!!

Sly bastard, isn't he?  Can't admit anything to anyone - not even hiimself at times.

I loved your use of dramatic irony here:

'“What do you have that I could possibly want?” she asked quickly, a horrified expression upon her face.'

What does he have, indeed? 

I guess the only thing worse than finding out that Snape has been in your home is finding out that Snape has been in _your_ home. What a shock for Hermione. Snape and Hermione don't trust each other as far as they can throw the other, yet there is that little something there. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Cool.

In the words of the illustrious Ronald Weasley.... 'Wicked!'  Great chapter, had me sitting on the edge on my chair.  Question:  How will Hermione get her wand back?  She can't leave Grimmauld without it... something smells fishy here. Hmm...Hope to see more soon.  Cheers!

Wicked Woman! I want an update as fast as possible :)I love the title of the book "the black way" it reminds me of Sinatra's song!But shouldn't Hermione tell the boys the whole story?

Can't wait to see Severus' plans on Hermione develop

Quick correction, missing letters of Snape's name in  "Sever chuckled".

Very exciting. Now everybody knows just enough to be dangerous  and nobody really trusts anybody else. Looking forward to the next moves.

What an exciting chapter!  So much going on here.  Hermione is now questioning her feelings for Ron, thanks to Tonks, and then Snape shows up and spills the beans!  And such a tease in your author's notes.  Sigh.  I  shall try to be patient as I wait for another chapter!

Great chapter.  It seems obvious after Hermione's chat with Tonks that she is not in love with Ron.  Now she has to accept that all that passion she shared was with Snape.  That poor woman.  Might vomitting be too much? I suggest our Hermione might be more a panic attack/hyperventilate woman--that sounds more together and cleaner. 

For once, Sir Caddagun and I disagree.  You see, I think that Hermione shares a passion with that Snape fellow that Ron Wealsey could never hope to touch.

The Good Sir thinks that any beast cowardly enough to sneak through Harry's wards and Polyjuice himself to avoid getting caught (he should face the possibility of capture like a man!) couldn't possibly be any sort of decent lover.

I told him, I said, 'Sir Catogen, you are wrong.  Severus is not cowardly. No, he's not.  He's clever, and he would make a damned decent lover."  That's what I said.

He said, "No, he can't be.'

And I said, 'We'll just have to wait and find out."

So we will wait.

And find out. 

Masterful!  I can't wait to see what happens when Hermione decides she needs her wand back... I'm morbidly anticipating her inevitable kidnapping.

Luck girl.  He could kidnap me aaany day. ;-)

well,well,well, Hermione without a wand.  This could prove interesting.  The brains of the bunch is no longer able to protect herself, Ron isn't as serious as she thought and Harry is ticked off that an older, more experianced wizzard got pass his wards, and to top it off Hermione has an errand to do for Snape.  Very interresting!  The next chapter may very well be exciting!  Hoping to catch the golden snich here lol.  Seriously good story.

I'm glad Hermione trusts her friends, it seems right for her to do so. So, Severus is attracted to her? I can't wait to see him act upon his attraction.

I vote for the epilogue, but that is because I always hate to see one of your stories end.  What a wonderful way to spend a forced day off from work.! Well Done Irish

Lovely story... lovely, lovely, lovely! I've read it all in one sitting! Fantastic!

Wow... hot scenes!
