There were so many excellent parts in this chapter I don't think I can name them all! "It seems that such tenacious, insufferable, horrid hair is proving itself far more worthy of my admiration." he says, about the hair AND his wife...And Hermione's "Because," she said, "it would show them that—that I chose you. That I still choose you." Man, I like her!!  She's so amazing here.I loved how those people walked in on them kissing!  A healthy dose of 'what for' never hurts...And Dumbledore!  "I know what a force he is when he has nothing to live for. I don't know what it will mean, now that he has every reason to live." That had to be my favorite, for it implies SO much.Another fantabulous chapter!!

Tell me to stop loving you." "For your own sake," he groaned, and she heard his pain and his fear, "stop loving me."I fell in love with your Snape just then...:)What a tangled web...I pray it ends alright!Loved how you ended it...that was so very good!

Fascinating!  Drug-induced euphoria, that was!  Merlin's Pants, can you write!!!

Holy crap!  GAWD, that Voldemort is a right foul prick, isn't he?  Oh, and poor Snape!  He cannot walk this tight rope much longer, I fear!

"Fool, he thought viciously. But he wasn't certain whether the word was aimed at her or at himself."LOVED that part!!!

Beautiful.  Simply magical and I've enjoyed the entire ride from beginning until now.  Strangely, I'm not sad to see the end...I feel as though the story ended where it needed to end, in the best way, and it was satisfying.  Yes, that's what I feel, a deep statisfaction.  That's amazing that you've been able to accomplish that in a reader such as I.  Sometime in the future I'll come back to CoMC and reread it again from the beginning, like a favorite book.  Wishing you all the luck in the world Mia Madwyn! 

Geez a loo!  That Voldemort is one sick bastard, and those Malfoys really irritate me, helping his little plots and ploys along as if it is their own personal game...well, maybe it is.  They're all a bunch of sick freaks.Very nervous about where you're headed with those 'revels'...Beginning of the chapter was so good...and whether their love is real or not (oh how I hope it is!), I wish they'd just enjoy what they have for as long as it lasts...stubborn, the both of them!

"I didn't marry you to save you, Miss Granger. I married you to save Draco."Damn, that hurt.I think, though, that she will be his savior in the end, the way she gives herself to him, the innocence and naivite of her love...at least I hope so!  Conflicting, erotic, painful and confusing - great chapter!

Aw, geez!  So now poor Hermione thinks everything he feels, and maybe she feels, is because of those vows?  Is it?  Yikes!

I really hope they find eachother soon...:(

Not sure about that ending...guess I'll find out next chapter.But Merlin's pants, can you write smut!  That was the most anticipated and beautiful lovemaking scene I've read in a while.  Completely erotic, yet intense and tender all at the same time.  Oh, at last!  Finally, at last!  Kudos to you for that exceptional bit of writing, my dear!

Gawd, they have so many freaking issues! 

Me thinks Severus protests too much! He does seem to be quite sensitive to any interaction between Hermione and any other male. I must admit you write a sympathetic Ron, something I don't often encounter.

My, how attachments seem to be growing on both sides. I love Severus' enummerating all the little physical features he is noticing about Ms. Granger. Then we have Hermione and her ever-growing list of lists. For both of them Draco appears to add feul to the fire. How his use of Severus' given name and his declaration that Hermione is not 'Severus's type' will haunt her, sigh. I can picture the scene between Severus and Draco sooo well, Severus picturing Draco with his head snapped off. It definitely shows the dark nature to Severus' soul that you show us is a constant battle for him.  

Another chapter so full of wonderful moments, although I hate how McGonagall and "the boys" are treating Hermione. Salazar's bed was really scary! I believe it even gave Severus a fright. I loved this line during their discussion of Hermione's background:  "I'll tuck away your tendencies toward passive aggression, selective honesty and ambiguous morality for future consideration." At the same time, I found it heartening that Severus was willing to play along with helping Hermione to set-up her meeting with Harry, Ron and Ginny. It was a sign of solidarity and that as his wife he would not treat her the way he would a student. And then there was that GLORIOUS BED! I can see why Hermione is looking forward to Saturday night too. 

Oh, my!  Can't wait to see where this leads!

Gah, I'll be Dumbledore won't be happy about that...And I like the Weasley twins, although usually I like Lucius too, but not here!  He's kind of creepy.

That Narcissa is such a bitch, isn't she?  Sitting high on her little throne, using whatever weapons available to her to get to Hermione.  I was cheering for Hermione, though, since she handled the situation so well.  But gah, Lucius taking her back to Hogwarts?  *bites nails*Poor Severus having to remain with Voldemort, though...what is that pathetic excuse of existance going to ask of him now?

I loved how he shared his goblets with her...that was very special.  And I adored how she had all those baubles to choose from and took his ring instead.  There's our girl. :)I am so enjoying watching Snape toe that line between what he has to do and what he wants...

Ok, first, I felt bad that Snape didn't get to browse those wine cellars, although I'm sure he'll be alright with it once he tastes some of that!I hope like hell that Narcissa (B*#~!) is bowled over by Hermione's appearance, although if she is, she'd never let it show.The change of the ring will be interesting, should Hermione succeed.Oh! And what's this about Snape being a pureblood?  Want to know more!!  Looking forward to the reappearance of the red sheets and the white shirt...*smirks*

McGonagall surprises me. I always liked her.LOVE Snape defending his own,though.  There's that word again...HIS.  What's wrong with Hermione?

Aluding to something wonderful, I just know it! That tea with psychopath has ME nervous, too!

Ok, so I'm SUPPOSED to be writing, but I can't stop reading!  And there are SO many chapters to go! Argh!!Harry has a point, I think.  When Snape and Hermione got married and/or had sex, something changed, he imbibed her with some of his magic?

I'm so very shocked at Hermione hexing Harry like that.  I mean, I knew she'd defend her husband, but wow!  Cute Hagrid, too...and I loved his gift.Hermione seems to be sick a lot.

Pure poetry, that...*yummy sigh*
