I'm torn now, my compassionate side hopes Hermione slept through that little tete-a-tete, but the innder sick puppy is hoping she heard every delicious word! And the puppy's winning! Make 'em suffer! Angst is good for the soul.

I have come back to re-read this story after several years because when I first read it I LOVED it. It is one of Top favorite stories. I’ve never been able to forget this story, and I first read it in 2008. Years later I never forgot about it, and it continues to captivate me.

This chapter in particular always had me fascinated with the strength behind the dialogues. Especially Hermionie’s dialogue saying "Hermione Snape wants to know who is in this bed, whether it's a man who has spent a long, difficult night and needs comfort from his wife—or whether it's a Death Eater looking for a quick blow job from a whore!"

WOW. I don’t know how to explain how vivid that phrase it. I can imagine perfectly the character screaming that to Snape. I would KILL to see this reenacted  in a movie. It’s such a powerful phrase.

I’m not saying that is the only thing that stands out from this chapter, I mean the whole story it self is a jewel. I’m just in love with the verbal power this chapter has. Again, congratulations for writing such a great story. 

Not caring whether the bloody brats blew themselves to Hades or not. (Words fail.)...Which was why it took a moment for the change on Potter's features to register, and why Potter managed to dart around him before he reacted— And spun to see Potter running toward the door opening in the wall— And hitting it with a dull thud when it disappeared a split-second before he got there. Now, you knew that it would have been just unfair to let Harry in and Sevi not, didn't you? ...It's so cute how she knows all his classes, and that she reminds him of them......Miss Granger, if you aren't in our bed tonight, I'll tear this castle apart stone by stone until I find you.You know, no matter how emotionally stirring a chapter has been, THIS is a sentence that puts that satisfied smile back on my face....Everything that happens in the very last paragraph is so, so sweeeet...(And so well deserved!)SeveraPS: Congrats on the chapter title, it's beautiful.

Very twisted chapter...Have I ever told you that I find your approach on Hooch highly interesting? (To even include her in a story is an interesting choice - and a good one.)Oh - and could you tell Hermy not to be too hard on Sevi? Because with everything THAT man has going on I think he deserves some leisure...(And he definitely deserves two courses of excellent cuisine - if he doesn't dawdle ) Severa

Did someone steal your keyboard?  Holding it for ransom?  Perhaps you heard the pitter-patter of little elf feet skitter across the floor just before the monitor shimmered into nothingness? I KNOW there must be a good reason for no updates.

That Draco!  What a horrible, jealous prat!  It's so funny that Hermione doesn't want to hear the traditional endearments from Severus, just the "insulting" ones.

I am not going to be able to tell you how much I loved this chapter. I am not so good at articluating. I thought it was so moving the way Hermione figured out his twisty little brain, the way she confronted him, her clinging to him it was just GUH! So well done. Thank you

Lucius and the Dark Lord always testing, always poking you would think they have trust issues? I am anxious just like HErmione to learn more!

You do write the sex very well. Whew is it hot in here? I hope they will stop fighting against their vows now. To seek solace in eachother would be comforting I think.

I know it was not meant to be a funny moment but I laughed at this line "Oh, yes, and because I had one chivalrous moment in my entire fucking life, I'm bringing the wizarding world as we know it to an end!"So both Hermione and Severus are lying to Dumbledore. Severus has fallen in love, Hermione is unwilling to do anything to disobey her husband...rut row.

holy shit! That was some very intense coaxing of an orgasm out of HErmione.   I continue to be amused that they use formal titles with eachother even when naked. ZOINKs what happened at the end? Severus is ruining the post coital moments.

But I do know that this tendency to let me wander through your memories at will is not natural, and it has to stop! Sometimes, you simply have to talk to me."Is there something lurking in Hermione's past? Something buried in her memories? ((is nervous))Why was Severus asking all those unrelated questions at the begining of the chapter? I couldnt understand how they fit in with seducing her.

OH MY GOODNESS what a cliff hanger. I am running off to the next chapter!

I dont know I think the twins were the perfect escorts. Crazy and always willing to help. Glad to see Hermione and Severus have made up, even if its only a little bit.

I am tickled with Voldy and Severus sharing muggle jokes together. Too bad Hermione couldnt hex Narcissa directly. I do hope that was a favorite tea pot. Bitch. Now why does Severus have to stay? I am worried.

This audience with Voldy has as much build up as prom did! Ha!I like your twist on how Voldy treats his followers. Makes much more sense to me then the random violence which is often found in fan fic.

Hooch my new favorite character! Will we ever get to learn the back story about Hooch?This tea with Voldy is going to be intense isnt it?

"Oh!" she said, clearly delighted. "They smell like lemon!"A funny shout out to all the fangirls!!! I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying wealthy Hermione. Mrs. Granger was hilarious with that line "Why does he want you to look frumpy" Ha!

THIS BANNER!!!!!!!!!!!! aaahhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!!oh poor girl. she needs those blasted bigger clothes. already?Teacakes, Tea, Teapot, Grandmother. these ingredients appear very often in your story. they make them so - dunno: ceremony has something holy, holding something high, turns an ordinary day or hour into something special.And Dobby makes Mistress happy, he and all want their story to be written by her.  (see a lot of work coming ahead for you= next sujet for the next story?)she the writing Mistress. you give her really big jobs, you don't spare her, do you! But it is not that she wouldn't want them. No! she is honoured. Who would not be!And then, enter CarefulSeverus.uh-oh. something bad is rising.And she explodes. oh, how she explodes. And he does nothing. no, he lives through this fit of hers, and has the accuratenes to feel for her, to explain to her the necessities of honour and life debts and trust on her knowing and feeling everything that is right and is necessary to do.Wow. this is a partnership. wow again.a really good "fight", if you know what I mean. Reasonable, necessary, he lets her have her rage, but has yet  everyting under control because he trust her and she trusts him. they are harmony. that is overwhelming.

lets see. she feels sorry that she can't give her husband the birthday he deserves or that it isn't going according her plan. come on, admit it, she is angry that there could be something she can not control, *g*and then, in the most perfect of a heavenly filled bathtub she summons her arithmancy book. the bad feeling can not have lasted that long. *gg* then Ron comes for a visit. first time in ages. since the battle? really. my, that must have been ages ago! You let him be the first to share her holy secret. That is a so nice gesture! And the conversation and Severus' discovery all went  so peaceful. yes, she is right. her successful project called being married to "Professor" is not to the benefits of this blasted law. and you are absolutely right, she would be the one to take care of all the humiliated girls/ people to get back their own free will, their ability to decide, their dignity. even though she will not take advantage of undoing the marriage. no. ron and parkinson, she is helping them!! hihia son a son a son!! "with a target on his back" ,,, well, yes. ahem could be quite uncomfortable for the brat."No, not the fucking book, the baby book." She smirked. "We can look at the fucking book after."priceless. *grin*regarding your last paragraph I am sure they did look that particular book up."This is me feeling like myself again…." very true observation. after all these metamorphosis inside her body and brain during pregnancy she can feel herself again. how necessary.

Loved it!I just read it through from beginning to end. Fantastic storyline :D I think I just fell in love with SS/HG all over again!

This is the most beautiful story of fanfiction that I have ever read.Not only did I feel that your characters had such depth and perfection, but you write with such grace and fluidity.  You astonish me every chapter with your writing.  I am truly humbled to be a fanfic author if you are as well.Honestly, the most beautiful, stunning story.  You made my two favourite characters come alive.  I look forward to anything else you may produce.Bravo, indeed.

It's a very tense time, him pulling Hermione out of the church. And then I laughed so hard when he stepped over/on Jane Austen's grave! I am so enjoying this story.

I have got to say that this is the best fanfic that I have ever read. I used to go on Harrypotterfanfiction.com but they were getting alittle boring. This has romance, drama, action, everything I wanted in a story. You are a very creative writer and I cannot help but feel envious of your writing. Good work on the story!

Guess who has both parents wrapped around her little finger! :)
