Oh I wish Severus would drag me into an alcove, hot very hot!  Keep it up.

Ooo! Nice snog in the alcove... teehee!  Great chapter, keep them coming!  Cheers!

It's interesting seeing Sirius alive again and Dumbledore still living. I like the way you portray Hermione and am finding the way this story is evolving to be quite compelling.

I've noticed this story before but today is when I finally decided to see what it's about. This prologue certainly intrigues! I look forward to reading more.

Okay, so this is as far as I've gotten so far.  I really do love this story.  I have to admit that at this point I'm kinda afraid to go further.  I'm very apprehensive about what will happen to Hermione in a room full of Death Eaters.  I'm just going to have to get my courage together and go find out.  Thanks for this wonderful story.  Much Love ~ Brena

Great story ...

i do love the hermione/snape ship but i'm truly in your story for the Sirius part (even though he's my least favorite character) and finding out who the next dark lord.  i've already made up my mind about and i think you left us all the clues in the world.  i'm addicted to this story and your chapters are well worth the wait (even if I wish it didn't take so long!) Can't wait for the next! 

Gods, I love your characterization of Snape. So edgy, so dangerous, so.... *drools* I love it!

Excellent work -- I like that Sev is making Hermione come to terms with his "dark side"

Excellent chapter, I loved Severus's backhanded compliment with the obliviate.

This time I *know* I already reviewed. lol But I figured I'd leave a star rating here as well. Excellent story!!

Brilliant chapter. It was worth the wait. I love the sound of the next chapter. Look forward to it!

You are going to drive me insane until this is updated. I love this story so far. It's filled with drama after drama. I've stayed up so far hours after I should have been in bed to see what would happen next.

I love reading about Severus/Hermione's relationship. Crazy/Obsessive Sirius is just annoying me beyond all belief because he keeps getting in the way. Harry is being stupid with girls, but I love how he's being the calm rational voice with the Sirius/Severus rivalry that I wish I could have seen in the books. Luna is just awesome, and I'm really liking Pansy.

I really hope that you could continue posting on Ashwinder or Petulant Poetess at least updates on how progress is going or not going, just so there's hope that there will be another chapter.

Excellent chapter -- How will Severus keep Sirius from "outing" his relationship w/ Hermione?  Voldemort will be furious that he has ruined his chances of convincing Sirius to join the ranks of the death eaters!

That is possibly the evilest cliffhanger ever! I just managed to read well over half this story (catching up from forever ago) in the last two days--you're a brilliant writer, and the relationship between Snape and Hermione seems so real because you keep him dark and her strong. [Just finished Wuthering Heights, for a class of mine actually, and this so reminds me of Heathcliff and Catherine, which is exactly what I wanted from a SS/HG.] Thank you! Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes, just read well over half and to finish at this point? Sheer torture. I most eagerly await the next update.

Oh, my, just blazed through all the chapters today, and...wow! Yikes, Hermione, bad idea....

I started reading this story yesterday and am completely hooked.  I really like your Hermione, and Severus completely freaks me out.  Half of me wants to push Hermione on her ass and tell her to keep away from all these crazies, and the other half, well, swoons a little, lol.  I'm really eager to see what happens with Harry and what the heck is really going on with Lavender.  I'm trying not to think about what I've just read.  I'm already anxious enough!  It's just my luck that the last chapter up is a cliffhanger! 

Sirius appears to be dogged in his hate of Snape. Interesting chapter.

Wow I can not wait for the next chapter! I wonder just how furious Sirius can get before something really bad happens?

Very nice chapter, I really enjoyed Minerva and Hermione putting Severus in his place and making sure his cut was taken care of.

Oh, snap! This is not going to go down well at all, is it?Livvy

good chapter
