Hello. Like the dreaming of the two main characters. SS throwing a hissy fit at it actually being the real HG lol Hope to read more soon thanks.

I hope you will come back to finish this story.  It is sad to see it abandoned before you got to close it.

I am definitely enjoying this story, and I've been out of fanfiction for awhile so I actually haven't seen this idea yet.  Very well done, too.

As for this:
"I'm having trouble figuring out how Severus would react in this situation. Please review."

My thought is that the next time, he would likely take the Dreamless Sleep potion himself, and regret it, but not really know how to act at first.  After all, Hermione is still a student, and I'm sure that his erotic thoughts about her are going to be difficult for him to deal with.  I suspect she's going to have to be the one to initiate that part of the relationship.

As for what he'll do after the dreamless sleep potion . . . one possibility is that he will ignore her until the next night, when he has to see her, and they'll end up in that white place.  There won't be anything interesting to look at or do, so his attempts to ignore her there as well will fail.  Then, they'll either have an argument and make up afterwards or they'll converse hesitantly but without arguing, and come to some sort of decision about what to do.

On the other hand, he would know that the dreamless sleep potion would only be for one night, so he might come up with some sort of plan as to what he's going to do when she shows up again.

Either way, I'm guessing there will be some sort of interaction.

Just my thoughts, and I look forward to the next chapter!

YES!!! I am very interested in how he reacts also!!! OF course he would retreat, however he needs her too much to just let her go!! And try as he might....he needs her too too much!!!!! Looking forward - very forward to the next chapter/dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this story. In the end of the chapter, SS try to hide his feelings. I 'm looking forward to read the next chapter!

She has told him all along the dreams were real. Perhaps he might finally listen to her words?

I just love it so far! Of course Severus can't handle the situation right away, but I hope he comes around. :)

I'm excited to see an update to this story :D

oh pleaseee write the next chapter quickly! its an absolutely addictive story! youve got me hooked and i think im already suffering withdrawels!

That was a cruel place to leave us.

typically Snape ! I love this story !

I'm sure they'll have many heated discussions in dreams/real life. Maybe he'll sulk for a while, but he can not not dream forever.

So glad to see an update. I'm actually quite looking forward to them talking in reality, to see how they are with each other. Maybe you could move it on to the next potions class. Severus thinking he was to hard on Hermione and ask's her to stop after class? Just a suggestion.
Look forward to how you move on.

Just like Hermione, I feared he would react like that. I can just hope that after he's cooled off he might realize that it's exactly what he wants. Someone is actually caring, loving him even and not just in his dreams. That was a lovely update.

Hi mayadidi,
I was so glad to see this fic continued! It's a great opener for... well, it seems that the expectations are putting quite some pressure on you. Why not make their next meeting a dream?

I'll review if you give me the next part!  *stomps foot*  No, I am really loving this, and am so disappointed I have to go to bed without reading what happens next.  Hope you figure it out....

I just found this story and it's really excellent too! Hermione has more or less accepted that dream Severus and Professor Snape are one and the same, but Snape's poor reaction makes sense as I think he was feeling safe and content with his dream girl, but confronted with real Hermione I think he would initially panic and hide behind his old "greasy bastard" persona for awhile. Now he has to deal with the fact that he has gotten to know and develop feelings for a real woman and has a chance for the kind of life he's longed for, but it's got to be incredibly frightening at the same time. And then there's the fact that while Hermione is an adult, she's still his student and it'll probably take a while for him to adjust.

Classic Severus! -- the current reaction, I mean.  Defensive mode, check.  Hiding it behind unpleasant snarkiness, check.  Retreating from the situation, check. 

But---he has to SLEEP, sometime...and THEN...

Well, as he himself said, no one can take Dreamless Sleep too long--it's dangerous and addictive...(smirk)...

He is the consummante spy, so he can hide his feelings totally, in almost all situations (only twice in the canon do I recall him coming undone--once in the Shrieking Shack and the other when Harry called him "coward").  Yes, he can hide his feelings--from everyone ON THE OUTSIDE.

But---in his dreams, Hermione's already breached that barrier, as he has for her--they are both already INSIDE one another's subconscious, so NEITHER can long keep up any pretense of hiding their true selves and feelings from one another.

So---what I envision is a LONG, probably heated, at times funny and at other times heartbreakingly angsty, "discussion" between them at their next "dream-meeting".

They both know now, irrevocably, that these "dream-meetings" have been real.

What they'll decide to do?

Hmm----well, they have a great many meandering side issues to discuss ("I'm a teacher, you're a student!";  "What will Harry and Ron and my other friends think?" "McGonnagall will have my nads for this if she finds out!"  "But HOW did those dream-catchers get there, for us to find, anyway?"), but I think finally they'll get down to the two core issues:

1.  What do THEY really want?  Do THEY really want to continue meeting in their dreams?

2.  Will they take things beyond just dreams--into waking life--and if so, how?

And I'd imagine that line from Lavender will come into play again:  "for two people to dream-share, they have to have an extremely strong connection or bond". 

So, I imaine you're planning on having them discover (or stop denying, in Severus' case) that they do indeed already have an "extremely strong bond" between them.

What I'm very curious about is how the dreamcatchers got into this room that Severus mentions was usually "completely" empty, how they came to apparaently be charmed for Hemione and Severus specifically to find and be imprinted on, and how the magic of the dreamcatches is working in this VERY unusual way for them.

I think, in finding the answers to those questions, Severus and Hermione will fill us in on lots of details about what they plan to do about the situation they find themselves in.

Eagerly waiting for more...

update soon, please. i can't wait to read the rest of it.

I love this story. I'm so glad you finally updated. I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for this chapter and you did not disappoint me. I hope you figure out the next chapter soon. I think Severus, at first would end up rejecting her, trying the dreamless potion for a bit and getting himself distanced from her. But whatever you do I know it will be smashing. Please update soon!!! 

Grr. He'll stew, just like he's doing. Maybe he needs a nap.

I hope you figure it out soon! (How Severus will react).  I really enjoy this story and look forward to reading more.

I think you got his reaction down perfectly.  Now how are they going to get past it?

Glad to see the update.  He responded as I expected:  he can't believe the dream-sharing is real and he wants to push her away because he thinks he's unworthy of love.  Can't wait to read more.

Oh my what an ending!. I knew he would react like that when he found out she was right. I think he needs some time.

I absolutely love this story. I hope you continue it.
