The plot thickens this time around... and Wormtail under Imperio?  Hope it works.  Great chapter!

More destruction to Hogwarts. Minerva's going to kill him herself pretty soon. Great part as always.Truly

Great chapter, I liked how Severus lost control of the horcrux, it gave the chapter a realistic feel.

YES!!  Ding, dong the bitch... um... the wicked witch is dead! (line from Wizard of Oz... with a 'slight' adjustment).Excellent chapter, Bella got her just deserts...Finally! 

Nice. Very nice. Especially with Neville breaking the wand. Great part.Truly

I loved the Princess Bride reference. One of my favorite movies.  I'm glad to see Severus made it back safely. I think Neville has found a new hero type in Severus. At least, he knows he doesn't need to fear our Potions Master anymore. The symbolism of Neville breaking Bella's wand was definitely poetic. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

This story keeps getting better and better. Though, I would have wished for a more ignoble death for Bella.

Everything finishes better tha I expected. Fortunately. And thank you for my little too sentsitive heart. Now I'd like to see things growing up between the two of them.

Ah, nice chapter.  Glad he's alive and SO glad that Bella isn't!

Another interesting chappie, although if I were Severus I'd have been very tempted to drive her insane, of course that would be a waste of the wizarding world's equivelant of tax dollars.

Ding dong the witch is dead. Which old witch? The wicked witch!Awesome chapter. I'm a big fan of Bellatrix getting the crap beat out of her.

Yay for Princess Bride quotes. And let's all hear it for Snape letting Neville have some sort of closure about his parents' murderess.

I hope you do more like this is very good and this is my favourite fanfic of Snape and Hermione
Please continue the story the must quickly possible!

will the witch ever die?! Fab chapter.

Stupid guy ! He wants a souvenir and practicaly fails to avoid death. Men are all the same : arrogant. Now I hope Hermione's arrival will not distract him while Bella 's cursing him or worse that Hermione receives a curse that wasn't shot at her.

Bellatrix has more lives than a cat. Hopefully that's one less than Severus. I don't think Lucius is going to be any too pleased about the destruction of Malfoy Manor, especially when he was indirectly responsible.

Will that bitchever die. Great part. Looking forward to more.Truly

Wow, how did Bella survive that? She's almost like a cockroach; those are impossible to kill short of stepping on them. Good thing Hermione decided to go to the mansion. Perhaps she can sneak up behind Bella and either subdue her, or kill her.

Rats!  Just when I thought it would be Hermione standing there...

Mother of Merlin!  Bella must have a Horcrux somewhere... how could she survive that explosion?I'm dying to know what happens next.  Great chapter. 

No! The witch just won't die! I wonder what became of Narcissa and Draco. Hopefully they got back to Hogwarts ok. I'm assuming Lucius stuck Bellatrix on their tails. Silly freak. Great chapter!

This is very good -- I love the reversal at the end of the chapter.  As for Snape's reporting at the expense of self-preservation -- that doesn't really seem like him, although it fits very well in this story.  And I think Dumbledore would want to talk to him right away, but that he would see it as part of the healing process, and thus wouldn't necessarily feel overly guilty for that (consider the end of Goblet of Fire).  Overall, though, it's still a wonderful read!

ooohhh, intrige. Excellent.Truly

love it!

Well, things definitely changed. I'm glad Severus convinced Harry to talk to Ginny. It would also seem he has an ally in Draco. Probably because of what was done to him by Voldemort. I do have to wonder, however, what Narcissa wants.
