I'm with Hermione on this one.  I sorta feel sorry for Viktor, but on the other hand I really don't.  *sighs*

Hopefully Severus will be able to spin a tale the Dark Lord will buy, and won't punish him for too terribly because of the way Hermione handled things...  She was trying to break the news to Viktor right then afterall...

Also, hopefully the wedding isn't one (or at least not the first) of the memories Harry and Co. are diving into...  And if the Wedding is one of them, hopefully Hermione will both be there where they view it, and be given enough time to explain...

Love this!  Can't wait for more!  ^_^

I'm anxious to see what those memories contain. It's unfortunate that Viktor was expecting more from Hermione, but I think she handled it well. I can't beleive Ron actually kept his mouth shut!

Good chapter - I always like it when Severus acts like a strong male wizard circling his mate and not giving an inch. He was in this form in this chapter and I loved the Mine part. Good chapter.

"but the thought alone was enough to turn Hermione’s stomach. The kitchen smells made her feel a little off as it was, but she managed to push the sensation back, wondering if she had eaten something earlier that didn’t agree with her"

Must we understand some happy news there? I would've thought them more careful about the subject, especially considering the situation they're in.

I wonder when Hermione will realize that she's pregnant. Hopefully she doesn't blow up too much when she finds out that Severus tricked her. If anyone in the Order finds out, they probably won't let her help out much, since it could affect the baby.

Okay - I am totally leary of the potions and the sickness - he must have given her a fertility potion and she is pregnant - scold me if I am wrong. I love a good mystery...

Uh-oh... quesiness? She won't be happy to discover a pregnancy.

Ooo!  Bad Severus!  Giving her a potion to help get her pregnant, without telling her (before or afterwards)!  That is going to blow-up in his face.  *rolls eyes*  She'll forgive him, of course, but he'll be in for some angry journaling at the very least!

Hope, since Ron's "almost there" they're smart enough to start "Transfiguration practice" outside, at Godric's Hallow maybe.  Even if the attic can stand up to battle-practice (and a Hippogriff back when Sirius was around) I kinda doubt that there'll be room for a dragon.  ^_~  And Harry, black fur, long tail... some kind of monkey perhaps?

Love this fic!  I do a little happy dance whenever I see there's an update.  ^_^

I know I've commented on this chapt before, but I was rereading it (to refresh my memory) and I wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE Harry and Hermione's joint speach to the Order at the beginning. ^_^  It's wonderful!  (The type of thing that *should* have happened in the book.)  ^_^

OMG I can't believe he did that to her!  Conception potion - it must have been.  Boy, if it was, she is going to be so mad he had better run and hide.

I love this story.  I'm so glad to see that another chapter is the the queue.

Loved this chapter - Snape is back with the order with a vow and now Hermione can see he more frequently without raising questions.  Good plot move.

That went better than expected. I think Hermione worded everything perfectly, that way Severus wasn't completely stuck. I think that lessened the risk for him.

I'm relieved eveything went well. Harry is not that stubborn after all. Always a pleasure to read you.

Stupid Harry.  Snape is amazing.  I want one for my self.  :)Wonderfully written!  And as per usual, I will be waiting anxiously for the next installment!

I am glad that the giving of the Vow did not go too poorly. At least Severus is not going to have to meet with anyone other than Hermione. This way, she can do work and have fun at the same time. I look forward to learning about some of the consequences of the Vow.

Yummy! Great chapter. Thanks

I have mixed feelings on this Vow. I know it is necessary for the Order, but I am just as afraid as Hermione that this could cost Severus personally.

Convenient of Harry to forget that *his* vow to Dumbledore ended with him force-feeding that poison to Dumbles, isn't it?

Thanks for a great update!

I'm trying to envision what troubles this Vow will bring.  You have me biting my nails.  Good Chapter!

Excellent story! Can't wait for more updates, hopefully soon!

Really don't like the position Remus is trying to put Hermione in. Granted, it's probably better for it to be her than any of the other Order members, but to have one spouse in a position of having so much control over the other will lead to resentment on his part at the very least... 

Good that she finally had that 'talk' with Ron though, he really needs to grow up and move past his puppy-love for Hermione. Think her letting the bit about her marraige slip is either going to be a good thing, or come back and bite her later on.

Love this fic! Looking forward to more!

"so he's being a total prat. Can't be helped. Won't last forever. " Or so I hope. This is getting more exciting each chapter. I really like it.

Wow. I think I started this yesterday night? It's all been a blur, but I loved nearly every minute of it. I had a tendency to catch a few tense mix-ups and missing punctuation among other things, but other than that, this is fantastic. The grammatical errors were definitely in the minority, or else I wouldn't have gotten this far. Ok. These compliments are coming out incredibly backhanded, so I should stop. I think you've made something remarkable and captivating and thank god the next chapter is in queue, or I might've had to pull an Hermione. Happy writing!

I think you have Ron pinned perfectly in this chapter. He is upset, and hurt, and his pride is wounded. He is trying to lash out at Hermione any way possible. For a girl who prided herself on being cerebral and didn't waste time on "girly" things to attract boys, being called a whore and having her intellectual attractiveness discounted so easily would be painful. Ron would know this, and would make the comment, even if he didn't really believe it.

Great update!
