Oh, my goodness. Having finally caught up with the last four chapters of this story, I'm thrilled to see the plot advanced so far! This is brilliant and very interesting. I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Oh, finally!It was interesting that she used the stone to communicate with him.  I hope that with the return of her memories, she'll have also gained some compassion for Severus.  It's interesting how you've turned the tables.  Severus isn't the bad guy here; Hermione is really at fault.“Swearing on top of everything!”And thanks for Having Hermione acknowledge that; I can naver see a young Hermione just randomly swearing without a really good reason or feeling some twinge for it.Great chapter!

Holding breath... :)

So I guess Severus's soul is already waiting to be reunited with his body and he somehow heard Hermione talking to him. At least he reassured her. My guess is that the price of her soul is the binding of a wizarding union. Just a shot.

I love this!!  Can't wait for the next chapter!

This is one of the most captivationg stories I have read in a long time. From the first word you draw a reader in and keep them enthralled to the last one. Truly brilliant work.

Interesting beginning. Poor Hermione having to stay in those horrid dungeons.

Let me just say that even though this one has no Severus (apart from his dream self) in it, it is still as much enjoyable as the rest. The suspense! Why did Severus throttle Lucius like that? What is it that Lucius not telling? And why is Draco still mysteriously silent? I knew something would happen when Hermione kicked the book. No book like to be kicked about. Especially a book who can talk back to you. Oh, no.

But hooray to Hermione's mum for giving her the idea that Ron might not meant for her! I think it's going to be more difficult the separate them since it was Hermione who's clinging on and not Ron whining about. It's going to be hard for Severus to convince her.

That was a nice change of dream! Now that's the kind of dream I want Severus to be in. Waiting around by the seashore... how peaceful. Perhaps when Hermione think about it more, she wouldn't really scared about what will happen between her and Severus.

Ooh, ooh!! Hurry and update! I can almost feel it now. Oh yes, he's definitely closer now... and don't break your promise!

:) 

Oh, that book is nasty. I wonder if Severus has some control over it, the way it seems to give him what he wants.

Thanks, very well writing.

So great! I'll be religiously checking for updates!

Oh my indeed! They need a rouge on the market that captures that "just became a woman" glow.

I love your take on this prompt, and again, I cheer you!

Thank you so much for the update! If I haven't said so before, you really have a intriguing plot going on here, I am totally hooked on it. I look forward to read more about Severus in the next chapter, the less Ron, the better:-) I sincerely hope that when Ron returns, there will be no attempt from Hermione to have sex with him?  I really, really, really cant't stand the idea of the two of them together (I am very allergic to the Ron/Hermione pairing:-)) I know there are feelings that has to be resolved, but please don't let her go so far as bedding him out of guilt, mistaken feelings (because she does have to end up with Severus and/or Lucius to give this story a happy ending) or because she feels she owes him. I  find the idea of intemacy between Ron and Hermione so repulsive, you won't belive it:-)Update again soon!

This story is so exciting! Thanks so much for sharing your talent!

*scratching head* why did Severus attack Lucius in the previous dream??  Much better of Severus to send Hermione a dream-message that put her at ease!  No small thing at all, what he's asking of her to do. 

I got the shivers! This was brilliant!

Well that was an interesting development!!  Spicy, even though they're not really each other's type. 

Oh my you paint such a beautiful picture with your words.I can't wait for the next chapter now.......and more snape as promised.I'm loving this dark yet absorbing storySavive x

Personally, I'm hoping that Ron will hook up with the French chick, "Jeri".  Hope she's at least part-Veela. . . .   that might sound callous in the wake of Hermione's current muddled-ness, but I think she deserves more than a boy.  Having not one but two hot older Men . . . . Just boggles the mind, and ought to be more than a challenge for the "know it all." 

I share Hermione's grudging appreciation of Lucius' hospitality, and how attractive he can be when he's civil and cordial.  Looks like Hermione has no more choice than Alice about going further down the rabbit-hole!

Wow, her mind is full. Especially if she forgot one of Lucius biggest warnings about the book. Hopefully the "talk" with Snape will put her mind somewhat at ease.

Very, very intriguing beginning.  Hermione and Malfoy. . . . . what interesting company.  I just hope that they can succeed in bringing Severus back. 

Ooh, this would make a great movie! :) heehee You do a wonderful job in your descriptions and I am really enjoying this story. Half romance, half horror fic!

Yay, more please!

I hope that Ron doesn't come back to Hermione. If she tries to make things work with him, the tome might get upset and do something terrible. Of course, if it harmed Ron, then that would be okay. ;o) I look forward to seeing more of Severus. Will he remember everything in the dreams and in his room when he wakes up?

AW whoa! What a contrast between her dreams! Why are the dreams so dark and suddenly she has this one where it's very romantic? Heck - I'd freak just like she did! But after the seaside dream - hummm UPDATE!!
