*gasp* That was a smokin' chapter! I anxiously await more!

Woof!  I have a feeling Harry's going to feel differently in the morning...

You did it again! A stunningly beautiful, tasteful and completely believable description of a ritual. I think it's good for Harry he is not the bookworm who needs to know everything in advance, because now, by letting it happen, he was able to completely flow into the rhytm of the ritual. Because he so strongly felt everything that happened and was so aware of his own inner change I guess he might cherish it as a very extraordinary experience instead of viewing it as something sexual.

Very captivating.. and I am so curious what will happen next.

I'd wondered just how Snape's saliva from mouth-to-mouth contact would be enough (fairly gross visions of him drooling into Potter's mouth thankfully didn't come to pass).

This was one of the most sensual scenes I've read in a very long while.  I really didn't see Harry submitting to anything sexual with Snape, but the way he became submerged in the pattern of feeding within the ritual flowed so well into his drinking from Snape directly.

I very much like that, once balanced, Harry felt the need to stay close to Snape, but again, it felt more as if he were a contended baby after feeding at the breast than anything sexual.

Very well done.  This story just keeps improving.

Oh my god, oh my god.. that was amazing. Mesmerizing and beautiful, like the connection between Hermione and Snape, but less.. violent and chaotic. Entrancing. And the vulnerability of your last scene was incredibly touching.

That was not as difficult as I had supposed. Although at the mouth of the entrance--Harry's doubts were pure Potter flights of fancy.

That was not quite what I expected.  Was this ritual based on something or made up?  Great job either way.

How amazing.  That was really a wonderful rite.  And I'm glad that Harry went along with it.  He's going to be absolutely horrified tomorrow, won't he? 

Nice, very very nice. Excellent chapter.Truly

Again you have me mesmerized. Fantastic, bautifully written.

That was hot (pun intended).

What a particular ceremony! I liked the way you link Harry's need to balance his elements to thirst.

And reviewer sighs with relief that "the"scene is over. It will be over, right? No morning SSHP shag in my SSHG reading.

Wow! Very powerful

By far, this is one of my favorite fics, EVER. I love it love it love it!!! So different, so well written, and this chapter was just total hotness. I enjoy the imagery and life you bring to these characters. As much as I get so excited to see another chapter posted, I get sad because its one more closer to the end...sigh.

Now that was a bit odd, chill and down right odd...I love it! This story indeed ios very different, don't think i seen anything like this before.

Excellent :) You are such a wonderful writer. Your chapters are always such a joy to read :).

I just had to poke my nose in here to tell you that ... this is one powerful, steamy, hot chapter.   

Wow very powerful. Great story. I look forward to more.Truly

My, that was intense.  I can't wait to see where you take this. 

Well, I didn't see that coming, but my guesses so far haven't been paying out.  However, that just proves your cleverness!  Thanks again for a timely update.  I can't wait for the next chapter!Also, I'm glad to know the other-dimensional beast that's been mentoring and guiding Hermione is a tiger.  I wasn't sure, and for some reason, whenever "he" was mentioned, I got a mental vision of a wise and omnipotent version of Sully from Monsters, Inc. 

Yikes! What a scary encounter for Hermione... and Severus as well, having to watch and feel her go through something like that.

I look forward to your next chapter!

You have such a warmth in your writing, it's just beautiful!You have found the perfect balance.

mmm that chapter was as lovely as choclate. Sensual and Visual.  Thank you

Wow, great chapter. Other authors get artwork for their stories but this one really needs music. I almost felt as a symphony was playing as I read it. Love it! Hugs, kisses and sweet dreams of Severus in your sleep!
