Wow this is more tangled than a spider's web! Draco and his responsability. Dumbledore and his "double-blind" "need to know" mentality. Not to mention the whole web between our two favorite characters. Now I don't know whether he was really angry or really afraid for her when she was overhearing all their plans.Probably a little bit of both?Can't wait to read more. Update soon!

Wow, things definitely went downhill. I'm wondering if he was reacting because he felt betrayed, or because he was afraid of what Draco might've done to her if he found her there. Or, more likely, he's starting to push her away so she'll hate him before he kills Dumbledore.

Whoa, he came down hard on her there at the end.  And poor, confused, wanna-be-evil Draco.  What a tangle!

OooooooO! And I need MORE! Wonder what she thinks of Draco/Snape now? Not an easy thing to walk in the middle of. At least she got out without notice. (though, of course we knew that she would.) :D

Good chapter - Severus was brutally cruel with his words to her in the end. You made Draco's cruelity even more "popping" as it were. You showed how in DH he could of done all those things because of his mind set at the time - good job.

That was cool.  I love the fact that Snape was frightened for her and is horrid to her. 

wow that was tense!

Fascination variation of he story around the HBP-book! I can imagine Herminoe wanting to know more like this very well. And the incident with Draco - well done, this is a great new chapter.

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

This is getting better and better.

Intense! What a thriller there at the end. I'm very much enjoying the missing scene portions of this story. You've kept it so logical and so in character. I find myself slotting your narrative away alongside canon like, "oh, okay, that was what was going on." So well done. Thanks!

I've always wondered whether other people could use the Room of Requirement when someone else was already in there. I guess for Dumbledore's Army, knowing the purpose of the room was enough. Severus and Hermione should realize that whatever Draco was wanting was in that room, and so they should search out hints of his plan. However, they're quite distracted by each other and so will probably not do something that intelligent. Hopefully Severus's anger towards Hermione does not last very long.

I really love how you are seamlessly inserting this story into the events of HBP.  And making it way better! 

Very sneaky of our snake to stop Draco before he actually uttered the name of who he is to kill.I feel for Hermione and can understand why she would want to be comforted by the man that she loves, but he is in no position to be able to offer her comfort.  She does not realize how much turmoil his own soul is in at this moment. Well done as always! Irish

Ouch!  I believe fanfiction is surpassing JKR in quality of writing and the actual story.  You are doing a great job and have me hanging onto your words (I know, blasphomy).

Dumbledore is such a weenie and I love how you're fitting your story into the plot of HBP...okay, I've said both those things before, but of course had to say them again.I really love your Snape. Last chapter my heart was just breaking for him...sacrificing his happiness for The Cause, of course if there wasn't a Cause, he wouldn't be with a student in the first place...a storyline I'm not comfortable with...but this fits. As for Hermione, she needs a smack, she just can't leave well enough alone, anyway, absolutely enjoying your story and look forward to the updates! 

Wonderful.

I'm loving it so far! As someone else already mentioned, I really hope you don't kill off some of the same people that JKR did! This is great!

Getting much closer to Desdemona and Othello in the feel of the story, sort of. Still very enjoyable.

Good, they are getting there at last. Like your progression, just enough to tease the senses without becoming cloying.

Aha! Working at cross purposes to the same end. Very good.

Ack! Talk about really bad timing for Hermione. It's a good thing Draco's not as good at sensing her presence as Severus is. As potentially dangerous as the consequences of her nighttime stroll might have been, I do hope Severus isn't going to push her away completely again. If for nothing else, then because she does have things to discuss with him, regarding the upcoming year.

How very Slytherin of you, my dear. Oh, one note for future reference it is Gwenog Jones, not Glenog.

Okay, I'm breathing again.What a terrific chapter!

I can only say; Oh, how I love this story!!! I love the way you are giving us Hermiones view on what happened in HBP and probably DH. (I still kling to a little hope that you won't kill some of the characters JKR killed, like Fred, Remus and Tonks:-) I don't think I'll ever forgive her for killing them and letting the Malfoys getting off the hook as usual. That part of the book, along with that terribly written epilogue, ruined so much of what was supposed to be a great ending to a fantastic series of books. In my mind, if the first books had the same quality as book seven, JKR would never have been as popular as she is:-))I could rant and say that Severus shouldn't have been as harsh towards Hermione as he was, but I won't. He was harsh, and Hermione didn't intend to spy on them, but Severus was correct when it comes to the consequences it would have had if Draco had discovered Hermione. Update again soon, I always get into such a great mood when I see an update to this marvellous story!!!

Very, very good.
