If I go there will be trouble and if I stay it will be double. Excellent song choice for this chapter. I giggled when Snape apologized to Hermione but she wasn’t done being angry at him. I think I have done something similar in my own life. Tee hee. I don’t feel the least bit sorry for Draco. Ginny does not have the depth of character that Hermione has. Draco is going to have to work harder to get past this. As well he should twitchy ferret boy.

You did a great job with this chapter,  it was very true in its presentation of all involved.  If Ron is Smart he will stay away, but of course he wont.  Up date soon please.    

I like what you've done.  I'm not surprised that Hermione is already starting to 'talk'.  The nightmare fit very well with the victimization.  If you need any insight there I'd be happy to help as I have post tramatic stress disorder.  I am 'over' it but I can certainly give you insite if you need it.  Looking forward to next chapter.

Aww. It's gonna be hard for all of them to move on, but at least the boys are making an effort. And it's nice that Hermione can be rational enough to realise that she was doing the same thing back to Severus... although I'm sure that the potion had something to do with her relaxed state and her being more willing to listen. ;)

That was a sad story about Severus and Lily. I suppose Draco has an equally strong reason for his reaction, but Ginny's needs come first - she was the original kidnap target, and is now daughter-in-law of Lucius who put Riddle's diary in her life, so she has a lot of stuff to be afraid of. But Ron and Harry won't help with their hot tempers, which they need to control to be good Aurors as well as friends. Plus there's still all that newlywed adjustment stuff, including in-laws. I can see you've got plenty of angst ahead for our couples! Thanks for ending this chapter on a positive note for Severus and Hermione.

Another good one, doll. :)

Hermione and Ginny told them!  But I am glad that Hermione and Severus made up at the end.  Draco is going to have a lot of work to do!

Well you said before that you thought of Severus and Hermione as the "more mature" couple and this chapter sort of proves that.  (Although like most men he can exhibit his childish tendencies at the drop of a hat!)  At least they've begun the talking.  Poor Draco and Ginny seem to be a long way from that.Lovely chapter.  Can't wait for more.  ....but I will  ^.^

Another great chapter.  It's a relief to see some progress happening for Hermione and Severus.  It seems it will be a bit harder for Ginny and Draco.

I have had a wonderful time reading this brilliant story all over again. It is timeless and I know that in a couple of years, I will revisit:-)

OUCH! Talk about screwing up big time!

Can't wait to see how you resolve this! Somehow I don't see the girls being too quick to forgive completely...

Author's Response: Thanks for reading! Right, they won't be ;-)

can't wait to see the gentlemen grovel....it should be quite interesting...update soon...i love all your stories

Nothing quite like an insanely jealous man to really screw up their own relationship. Looking forward to more--to see if the girls turn the screws to the two of them.

Oh boy, do they have to eat crow now! This should be an interesting conversation, I can't wait to find out how it goes!

Im all out of love I cant live without youuuuuuuSnape and Draco are pinheads. They deserve every minute of their suffering. And it they better be suffering, none of this immediate forgiveness shit! Write on girlfriend!

Serves them right! *evil grin*

But I trully and honestly hope that all four of them will be able to make this through.Severus and Draco should surely suffer, but please, make them redeem themselves.

Hmph. Idiots. I kinda wish you hadn't dragged it out that long, but it wasn't too bad. Silly men. What were they thinking? I hope Hermione and Ginny do make them grovel...

I just read all 6 chapters!  So good.  I love this.  I really don't like Ginny/Draco pairings but I LOVE them in this story.  They are so sweet.  I can't wait to read more! 

Men are so dense!  Severus could have tried occlumancy.SW69 is right, it will be funto see the apology.  The gals are holding it together realitively well considering the cricumstances.

You seem to treat the ladies' reaction to being physically attacked --well, not at all.  That trauma alone should consume just as much of their emotions as their idiot husbands' inability to get their heads out of their respective butts.

What a mess those two are in! I'm absolutely loving this story and can't wait to see how Hermione and Ginny react to their newly enlightened husbands (I'd make them suffer!).

It's toobad for the boys that their wives are no where near materialistic enough for expensive jewelery to work.  For this, I think that nthing less that the entire first month's worth of late  night feeding duty will suffice.

" Not even married to the chit, and she’s already got me sleeping on the couch"

That line is priceless. A very good start, I didn't want to pause reading to leave a review.

Open mouth.  Insert foot.  Two very insecure men and their actions.  I look forward to seeing how the ladies react.  Something tells me that they will be far more gracious than their husband's.  :)

I'm a bit surprised the women didn't put the men in a body bind.

I think the men should be literally crawling back and asking forgiveness that is if the ladies haven't already found a cute little four bedroom for them and the babies.

great chapter. waiting for more.

Have a Happy Easter.
