Hmmm, I think in this case seperation is not making the heart grow fonder....Nice chapter and I can't wait to see Severus again!

Lucius Malfoy asking a lover to drink lust potion because he isn't accustomed to dealing with inexperience is so tawdry.

I love it.

Can't wait for the next chapter! 

Oh my indeed. :)I do think Hermione was a little overly frisky with the second go-round (her guilt over his marriage seemed to ebb rather quickly in the afterglow) but hey, I guess with Lucius in her bed I can't really fault her. lol I'm very much anticipating when she meets up with Snape - hopefully she will see that he IS the man for her and she can stop all this Ron nonsense. :)

Great chapter, I like how this story is progressing! Update again soon, I really, really look forward to "see" Severus wake up:-))

OOO  hot!!  That was yummy in a lemon tart kind of way.  You're good, really good.  Keep up the good work.

I love Lucius and Hermione's interaction. The story is somewhat dark and I like dark. This story is captivating. Keep it comming.

Thus far this story is very well written and very intriguing, I very much want to read more.  Good job, and please keep it up!!Mandi

I gather the dream about being frisky with Lucius was a message from the book as well. I am so curious as to what Draco was going to say.

So Narcissa prefers Death Eater Lucius and Ron is going to have to spend more time in France with the female Jeri. His letter certainly wasn't oozing love and Hermione seemed happy Ron was going to stay away longer. Meanwhile, dream vampire or Hermione just has a really great neck?

Exciting beginning.

Oooh... interesting, very interesting!! You made it Ron to want to break up with her... this is the first that I read so far. Usually it's Hermione who had to convince Ron that they're not meant to be together... or I haven't read enough fic? Eeek, that three hungers Severus had to satisfy before being completely alive sounds very creepy... I don't think I want to read about him -- half-alive, half-dead at that -- satisfying his lust towards Hermione... Creepy... very creepy...

I wonder what Draco wanted to say though... hmm...curious... Update soon please!!

What was the price, indeed... Wow, this story hold me captive now, I just can't wait to read more. Please, please tell me, a new chapter will be out soon! As interesting as it gets, it did made me shivers at a couple of places. God, I just thought of something! It will be Lucius who will draw her virgin blood, ain't he?? Poor man, especially since we know it'll eventually be a SS/HG... I hope he gets Narcissa back. That way everyone will be happy!! No? This is a dark story, you say? Oh well, I pity the guy then... You're going to make Ron falls for this Jeri girl, aren't you? Okay, I'll shut up now...

Fantastic! I am loving this story and I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for an update.

So, Lucius or Draco get to take Hermione's virginity and then she has to be a willing sacrifice to have sex with Snape? I'm willing to take her place. I hope Ron has found someone to be happy with. Gabrielle maybe?

Don't get me wrong I love Ron, but he is just not right for Hermione.  I think Lucius should take her virgin blood and then Severus just take her and then if they aren't to tired a three way.  lol  Sorry smut on the mind there for a minute. lol  She really is in a pickle isn't she.  I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

This is so good!  I can't wait to read what happens next!

Oooooooohhh dont end up making Lucius the bad one in the end. =P Thats what Draco seemed to be all for it, I want an explanation NOW! HAhahahahahaha love it so far though.

I loved this, it is an amazing plot, I am hooked:-)) Update again soon (and please keep Ron away, the thought of him and Hermione as a couple is THE most off-putting idea, I hate that pairing:-))

Wow, you know how to keep us on tenterhooks. Why's Draco worried? Don't let Lucius become too bad. OK, so they'll both be doing what needs to be done only because they want Severus back, not because they're really in love or anything; but let Hermione at least enjoy what  she has to do . We know that Lucius will; no harm in that.

Hmm.... very interesting beginning. Keep me wondering what this is all about. I like it! And the plot moves quickly too. First chapter and already so many things happened. I certainly hope this story is almost finished though -- finished, not uploaded -- now that I've started reading it as I don't normally read WIP. But I am intrigued from the first sentence onwards! Keep it coming!! BTW, I like it that you use Rickman's name as the bookstore's owner. Nice!

Oh my God! Where do I start. Now, I am worried! LOLI hope that when Severus comes back, he will be ok, um, after his needs are attended. In her dreams, he seems evil.Bad!Lucius molesting her in her sleep that way to amuse himself!I wonder what Draco knows? He seemed to be trying to help and warn Hermione. You have to update soon! ;-)

Draco OMG! At first I thought he sounded angry. Then he seemed genuinely worried. I'm so confused. It's making me a little wary about Lucius again. And the fact that her nightshirt was misbuttoned. That can't be explained by the dreams.I like that she's not immediately giving up on Ron like in so many other fics where it's out of sight out of mind. She's going to fight for him although... fat lot of good that's going to do her. I'm sincerely hoping she's not going to do the virgin blood thing with him, although she's running out of time. I can think of three other solutions I'd prefer and one of them is positively squicky!

Egads! What a predicament!  Hermione is going to not only provide the necessary blood for the potion but she’s agreed to allow a necromancy relationship with Snape to bring him back? And what’s with Draco? And Lucius? He’s lusting after her and I’m not convinced that the book is the only thing turning Hermione’s world upside down. So, we’ll see where and what you have planned for our girl… whewwww…

Well, it is very dubious. I don't think she knows wat she is doing. 

This story has me captured....and for one I don't feel sorry for Ron. I think that Hermione will have to couple with Malfoy for the sake of the potion and be there for Severus when they perform the rights. How do I feel about this, strangely happy, yes she is being manipulated by the text, and I'm not convinced that Malfoy has changed. Draco certainly was not happy to see her in the lab with his father, but I have faith that in the end all will be well.Congrats on the story so far, keep up the good story weaving. Savine x
