Reviews for Breaching the Otherworld
Well now this is depressing. I mean it's totally awesome that they Aurors got that bitch Rita Skeeter! But seriously this mess with Hermione and Severus is...well a mess. I thought that things were kind of moving in the right direction but now... Well now I just don't have any hope for them at all. Well, I'm going to hang in here and see what happens. ~Brena

Whoa! There is clearly something going on that Severus is keeping from Hermione, but I can't tell what yet. From hints in the past couple of chapters, he seems to have a disproportionate amount of influence over Hermione (aside from his obvious use of sex to soften her up, I mean). I wonder why he is manipulating her and what the potion he and Lucius were refering to is. FYI, there's a minor typo in the first scene: 'head still titled towards the sky' -- should probably be 'tilted'.Great chapter and I am eager to see the next!

hmmm. yeah, pretty evil cliffie, there. now you've got me wondering about severus's motives just as much as hermione is!

I love the way this story keeps you guessing, never knowing - is he good or is he bad? At first I thought he was up to no good, then I thought, 'nah, not Sev' LOL, and now... well, now I don't knwo what to think. Is it an act? Is it real? Guess I'll find out soon enough. Your doing brilliantly at stringing us along with this mystery Snape. :)

Thank you so much. I'm trying to keep everyone guessing. :)

It's almost done you say? With all the twists and turns each time I read a new chapter?? Hmmm... And I too prefer typing on my desktop - I feel for ya writing on a laptop (mine's a 12" which is great for toting around but not so much for long periods of typing). You keep writing and I'll keep reading. I"m not going anywhere. LOL
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
I'll have to do my job and sort those twists out. :) Man, tell me about it. And just when I got used to the laptop, I was back on my keyboard, and that was wild at first. HahahaTypoHeaven!

Great chapter. Unexpected, and I can't wait to see how they get past this one.

OMG I was fooled. I was thinking what a great plot device that was for the reader by giving us something that HErmione didn't know about. Then... well I was blown away by the end! Great work!

Ah, clever Hermione. So Snape is a bastard and has been using Hermine or Snape is playing the Malfoys to get what he wants? Could it be both? This story is so fascinating.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
Could be both, huh? :) Hehehe... I'll let you know soon

I'm betting that Hermione will be making a few plans of her own now...Interesting twist in the story. I'm looking forward to knowing what is true and what is not.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
She sure will. We can't let someone get the better of her, now can we? :)

Thank you for the update. There were a minute there where I went quite mad and thought to stop reading the story at all when I thougth Narcissa had sucseeded in obliviating Hermione. I would really, truly have hated that, probably so much that the story had been totally ruined for me. While I still have some hope that Severus ain't the bad guy he seems to be at the moment, I to believe that he; A. had more than one finger involved in the planning of using Hermione in the first place. B. Plays his "role" as Lucius confidant a bit to good to be forgivable. I don't care what "lies", if they are lies, he feel prudent to tell Lucius to keep his cover, for me his words are unforgivable if he even only halfway ment them, and quite close to unforgivable if they were lies. There are just some limit to what you can say or do and claim to do so for "the bigger picture and greater good". What ever his reasons are, Severus should have to pay a price for his betrayal. No matter what his motivations are, it is a betrayal of Hermione and what they could have together, by talking about her like this to anyone. If he only "played" with Lucius, he should have told Hermione absolutely everything up front. I am usually dependant on happy endings, but I admit that in this case the happy ending would be for Severus to pay deeply for betraying Hermione. If you at some level plan for her to forgive him (which I deep down hope for), please, please, please, make it good: I hate it when stories let Severus betrays Hermione for some odd "greater good" scheeme, and later on get to tell her that she is an idiot who didn't realise that he is so almigthy that she should have known that he did what was best all the time, ending with her asking him for forgiveness rather than the other way around. The most important thing in a relationship, no matter what, is trust, and Hermione has no reason at all for trusting Severus at this point. Just as it is obvious that , if he still is a "good guy", Severus don't trust Hermione.
Update again soon!!

You make all good points. There's a method to my madness, so don't be disappointed too much. :) As far as the Obliviate, lol, I couldn't resist being sneaky. Bad author!I think that Severus will have a lot to pay for, but to be honest, there is more going on that just words. I hope you continue to enjoy, my friend.

Marriages based on lies and misunderstandings can't be good, dearie...

Poor Hermione. Even though she knows he's playing a role half the time she doesn't know which role is real and which is the act, and even if he is being 'real' around her she still isn't sure about his feelings or motivations. Severus is just too good at being a spy! Doesn't bode well for their relationship is she can never be sure if she can trust him... At least Rita has been dealt with. That's one bright spot anyway. Great story! Looking forward to the next!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
Their relationship is definitely being tested. He'd better do some honest chatting, eh? :)

No, it's not good at all! If Snape's acting like this - things are not going to be good. The eyes being all dark again, his comments to Lucius... he's evil.
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
He does seem evil, doesn't he? Wonder what he did down in the Otherworld... hmmmhehe

argh!!!!! you wicked queen of cliffhangers!! grumble.... well, my bet is that Severus has a lot of explaining to do, but he won't be able to if he has to search for Hermione. she really needs to figure out that Severus is too smart to genuinely trust the Malfoys. I'm guessing the potion Severus made for Lucius isn't what Lucius thinks it is. thanks for the new chapter!!
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
Hahaha! Sorry for the cliffie. He has much explaining to do. And I'm glad someone thought about that potion he gave Lucius. Bwahahaha

Well, Severus has managed to confuse me this entire time, so I'm guessing he deserves this too.

Oh, to know the truth! We've seen Severus say anything to go along with a plan, but Hermione's musings are valid. Is she right? I hope not, but can you really trust the recently dead?
Response from Southern_Witch_69 (Author of Breaching the Otherworld)
:) Her musings are definitely valid, but she'll need a bit more of the puzzle before she can fully decide. :)The recently dead can be tricksy...

Well, I'm glad the curse missed her. What a horrible thing to discover! I hope this isn't real and Hermione is not being used.Livvy

Oh, this is getting good. I'm so glad Hermione didn't get Oblivated, that would have just pissed me off *lol* Can't wait to find out what happens next. PLEASE don't make us wait long.

Wow. I was totally unprepared for that chapter. It's incredible. Sorry, I'm so stunned I can't get much beyond the "oh, crap" stage of thinking.
