So that's his history with that Morgen cow? Oh God, poor poor Severus! So she was now a widow? So why the heck do she still clinging to him expecting him to want her back? The marriage was off when she married that old wrinkling man, right? Oh, what a greedy greedy woman she was. Severus has every right to be repulsed by her sight. Let me guess, when LV was back in power the second time, he matched her to him - again? Saying all that bullshit like 'Say Severus, now that her husband is dead, I want you to marry her'. Argh! This is not happening! I really really hate the whole situation with all these blasted politics and manipulation. No wonder he was shocked when Hermione told him she loves him. He's right, they've got enough things on their plate as it is, already...

I only hope that Severus would begin to see that Hermione's love is a strength for him to see all of these through.

BTW, I absolutely love how they handle the episode of Hermione professing her love to him and how they didn't blow it out of proportion and had another misunderstanding.

And let me just say 'Yay for a very long chapter'!!! It was worth the long wait! :D

I'm thoroughly enjoying this story.  You do a great job with keeping Snape in character even while in love.  I can't wait to hear how he reacts to his discovery.  Thanks for the great story.  Anxiously awaiting the next chapter...

I'm delighted by this chapter, as by the others. I'm also delighted that you've begun a new story. But I hope that you finish this one soon too.

A wonderful story. I really enjoyed it.
Hope, you will continue very soon.
Thanks!

This is the second story that I have read of your's. It is also the second story by you which I adore completly! I hope that you continue to write fantastic fanfiction!

i really love this story and now that the cat is out of the baf with the "L" word what is going to happen next there has to eb a happy ending please please pleasewill you be updating soon? just wonderign thank you for sharing this story with me

I adore this story!!!  I have to confess that I was a late addition to the SS/HG shippers, but it was one of your other brilliant stories that brought me on board and got me hooked on fanfiction and this relationship.  I love your writing and I cannot wait for the next chapter!

Well, hello! I've been enjoying this story immensely. I don't usually read Snape/Hermione, but a friend of mine recommended this story for its smut, and I can never turn that down. The smut is indeed brilliant, and I admire you for your honest descriptions of the pair's encounters. However, the little bits of plot you add (the perfect blend of smut and plot, by the way) make the story a story, with love and life and everything brilliant.

There was a section of this chapter, in particular, that convinced me of this story's brilliance (as if I weren't already - *sigh*). It begins with 'A new peace...' and continues to perfection. I certainly hope you're proud of that part, because you described delightfully Hermione's love and the change and constancy in the relationship between Hermione and Snape that you've convinced me must certainly be meant to be.

The point, though, is that you've written a brilliant story. So thank you.

Great Story. Your a great Author. i appricate the picture of the roses too.

I'm exhausted! Whew.
Okay, so now the moment in the store room when it was just her wanting him and not the compulsion. Please, carry on....

I have officially become obsessed with this fic! I can't wait until Monday comes and they try to go back to reality. And to see how you work out with them discerning the potion from the true passion that is building.

I really like the premise of this fic - very intriguing! On to chapter 2....

I am so in love with this fic.  I started reading yesterday and just finished a bit ago.  Fabulous work! 

Oh dear God... possessive!Snape is undoubtly the sexiest Snape ever... him being a sex God is a definite bonus to it too! *fans herself*

My, so I was right that the unforgiveable thrown was Imperio, although the reason to it was not. Still can't believe Hermione insisted him to do it. It seems like she just had it with Snape's emo state. I wonder what would happen now that Krum knew Severus gave her the Nexus. Didn't one of his relative (can't remember if it was his cousin or nephew) terrified when they realized it was Snape's Nexus? Is it true nothing happened after Krum carried her to his bedroom? Or did they too terrified to let Snape knows that something *did* happen?

I wonder how their live would change now that Snape is being fiercely possessive. 

Great chapter though, you made me squealed just now when I saw there's an update!

argh!  who was that figure who saw Severus at the Mirror of Erised??  I'm glad Hermione is now back with Severus and that the Gryffindors lost the match to Slytherin, but wonder if Krum told the truth about not taking advantage of Hermione.  would Hermione be able to lie to Severus now?  (still waiting for a fit "end" for Miss Morgen...)  thanks for the new chapter - you rock!!

Sometimes it's the PWPs that insist on getting a plot that become classics - and this is definitely a classic.  Splendid.

It's good to see Severus has accepted his desires at last. Now if he just realised that if he hopes to have Hermione come to him also once the curse has been lifted, he should take care to be good to her and not treat her like a common whore (as if she ever had a choice!)...

Taking her under the Gryffindor stands was pure brilliance. Once a sneaky Slytherin, always a sneaky Slytherin!

Naught Severus - I simply loved it - he is finally making an emotional connection to her - I hope it lasts.

Oh crap an unforgivable - what has happened to Hermione and poor Severus he just cannot seem to control the green-eyed monster.  He needs her - He needs her not.  Love it.

Oh the make-up was good but here goes Severus again - getting mad and jealous - the man is all over the board with his thoughts and emotions - just like the Severus we all know and love would be.

Severus is so letting himself screw up and in comes Victor to reap the rewards - Oh I so love your twists and turns - plotting mischief my dear author - you are so good.

Loved the chapter and Hermione's new nickname - Petal - so sweet.  She had developed feelings for Severus and so know he knows that she thinks upon him as someone more that her curse servicer.

What intentions indeed? Good chapter.  The smut was great and I loved it

Grandmum has plotted and done wrong to Hermione even though she cannot help the situation.  Severus is jealous - and about time he start to feel somehthing.

Boy Severus always has a problem believing - I hope over time that he finally gets it through his head that she cares for him
