This is a good chapter!And that was very good jail sex!Hermione will fight for him,and I think after he gets out of jail it would be a good idea for them to live togeather,There never going to get everything figured out if they don't spend more time togeather.I would also like to see a little Severus as well,but I guess thats pushing it tilll the end of the story.I hope you can update soon.

Interesting dilemma she's putting him in! Either he accepts the bonding that he didn't want AND stand up for himself which he obviously considers beneath his dignity, or he gets the anullment at the cost of admitting to be a coward and staying in Azkaban.Poor Severus doesn't really have much of a choice, does he?Interesting about the anullment though. Hermione didn't know it was possible, but Severus did. And even though he was so vehemently opposed to the Bonding, he never once mentioned it to her or asked her for it. He didn't even petition for one himself. I believe he should think about that. I think he'd be surprised at what he'd discover.(Couldn't she have beaten Ron over the head with the newspaper though? Just a little bit? Instead of shouting...)

Poor Rita shes the gal you can't help but cheer on even though you know shes nothing but a bettle!I know that Severus will come around and he will always do evry thing he can to protect Hermione!

Please let them see each other in person in the next chapter!Love the story so far.

I can't wait till Severus finds out that Hermione is the one who did the spell.The dreams are good,I can't wait till thay see each other in the flesh!

you raise the temperature in this room whenever i read this story!  thank you so much!                                         

Severus will come around it will just take him time!Good chapter!

Oh that was good!I love it when Sevrerus keeps telling Hermione that shes his,that sends shivers up my spine.I can't wait to see what happens when everyone finds out who Hermione is bonded to.The sparks will fly!

That was good!we all know that Hermione should have been with Severus in the books.I can't wait to see what happens when thay meet in person.

Brilliant! I was expecting angry lemons, but that was so much sweeter. Hopefully Hermione's harsh words have shaken Severus up enough to snap him out of the funk cycle.

This has all the right ingredients - angry and bitter Severus who shags like a demon, feisty Hermione, wanker Ron,  supportive Kingsley,  sensible Ginny and coming-around Harry.  A certain beetle deserves to be stepped on!

Calling Skeeter evil would be understating things.  Hermione is fantastic and it's going to be so fun when Ron gets what's coming to him!  Another great chapter!

I don't believe in coincidences--the panties are important n'est pas?  Great story!

Hmm... so did he treat her tenderly simply to get what he wanted - a little action - or was he actually (secretly) happy to see her? I like that she put him in a right state when she left. That should get him going. :)

that was another exciting installment to this story.  i hope severus will be irked enough at the thought of harry speaking for him that he'll decide he needs to speak for himself.  it sucks that he thinks hermione turned him in - i hope that situation gets cleared up before long. 

I like how she prodded Severus into anger. I hope it works and he agrees to stand up for himself. If only to get some revenge with Ron the pillock.

I liked this chapter very, very much. The Hermione who takes what she wants is just so much better than the Hermione of the last few chapters...Great work, I'm enjoying this story.gab

wonderful chapter but hermione forgot ro all smape a wanker lol but i hope he decides to grow a apir and talk to kingsleythank you and good luck with the voting

Great chapter!  I loved how Hermione turned the tables on Snape.

Thank you for the update. I am glad to see that Hermione finally grew a backboone with regard to Severus. Her parting words about what kind of man she thougth him to be and who she wanted to be bonded to, was absolutely perfect. Let us now just hope that Severus really takes her words to hearth, stop his pity-party, uses his brilliant brain to admit that, yes he does deserve that the truth is told, and he does deserve a life in freedom. For Ron, I hope you will let Hermione keep her new-found backboone in regards to him too. It migth be harsh, but to be honest, also the only thing fair; Hermione has to lay down the law, risking their friendship, and tell Ron that no matter what happens between her and Severus, there will never be anything romanticly between her and Ron, and that he migth very well have ruined several years of friendship by acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get the toy he wanted. I wouldn't mind if Ron was roasted above a open fire, but be fair to him, boys, especially immature boys like Ron, needs the plain, open truth, spoken in words that can't be misunderstood. The only thing to make Ron see that there will never be any Hermione in his romantic future if for her to remove all hope. What for her migth be attempts do salvage a long friendship, will for him easily be signs of hope that if only Severus is gone, the road is open for him. It migth be a though lesson, but it is the only thing that can make Ron grow up and go on with his life. She has to tell him that friendship is all she had to offer, and that his betrayal migth have ruined any friendly feelings she ever had for him. She can't placate him, and by that let a tiny bit of hope linger, she has to cut the apron, forcing him to realise the facts, and by that letting him grow up. Call it though love if you like, but she has to set Ron completly free so he can either chose to walk away or come to terms with the situation.

At least, she's going through to him, she's reaching him. Maybe that time in Azkaban will do their couple a world of good.

Argh! I want to take Rita Skeeter and pull off all her wings and legs on at a time! Nasty piece of work.Athough, Ron isn't too far behind her in the bad books. I hope Hermione has managed to motivate Severus to get out of his pity-party and fight for himself.

Regarding Hermione not demanding an annulment.  She knows Snape was on their side all along and may feel that if she stays married to him, it will look better for him in court. Thanks for this story, and good luck in the contest.

Great chapter - I loved how she gave him what for - she hit all his hot buttons - now the question - what will he do?

I can't remember if Severus knows that Rita is an Animagus-beetle, but if he doesn't, Hermione should tell him - it explains how Rita would get info from Won-Won, the Burrow, etc.  I do hope Harry succeeds in getting Severus' name cleared soon; Azkaban is dreadful.  And what will h appen to the Malfoys for hiding Severus all this time?  Thanks for the new chapter!!
