Another nail biter!  like how Severus is letting Hermione closer to him. I hope he will grow to realize that he has so much more to live for than only ALbus Severus.Thanks,Livvy

What an incredible chapter. 

Well written.  You captured the emergency feel of the situation and the desperation of Severus's and Hermione's work.

Wow!  Very intense!  He better survive.  I do feel a tad bit bad for Hagrid, his pain is real, he would never intentionally hurt anyone, yet I understand why Severus lashed out at him.    PS.  That was a really long wait for the next chapter after you poisoned the poor child.  Update sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrrggggh, more cliff hangers, I should have guessed by the title! Great story, I am in love with your version of Snape, the man who pushes everyone away but draws us in and creates in us the desire to save him, somehow!!

Oh, Dear Merlin!  Please let little Albus Severus be all right.  So many people besides Harry and Ginny will be devastated if anything happen to the little boy... Severus, Hermione, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid, the Weasleys.OMG! Snape and Hermione have had a moment.This has been a sad, but great update!  Way to go, girl!!!Beth

Oh my word... I'm crying. What a devestating chapter. I sincerely hope that the boy lives...~

They've done all they could.  Now they must wait.  But the repercussions if the boy dies are horrible to think about.  (Please don't kill him off.)

Ooo, does Severus show up at Hogwarts topless?

OMG I hope he will manage to save his Godson's life. He's not the best potions master for nothing. Because if he lost him now he will never recover from it.

This chapter was particularly lovely. Hermione's panic was palpable as was Severus's disbelief that anyone could fret over him. I wonder when the poor bastard will manage to have his new-found hunger satisfied.

excellent chapter.but he was a bit thoughtless in thinking no one would notice he was gone especially since he requested her to make a will.waiting for more.

Wonder where he has been. :)

Oh Hagrid! The fruit in the kitchen - and the adults left the kids alone in the house full of neat things to snoop through! What were they thinking? Obviously they weren't thinking at all!Thank Gods for Severus! and Hermione's quick thinking about the bezore.

Oh the lout! Of course he misread her 'body language' HA! Not a chance. As a teacher, even one as horrible as he was, there would have been some cases of infatuations that he'd have to deal with.

Her tripping on the toys was funny, sad, but funny. That he helped her, okay assesed her ankle, That is so typical Snape.

And James's reaction to Snape was priceless!

I'm so glad he's alright. Ugh. It's funny how they keep having terrible set-backs. Makes me anxious to keep reading.

Oh, lord, I hadn't realized that the last chapter was a dream! I was so caught up in the imagery - it seemed real.

Oh, and the babysitting two; a baby boy and a toddler! Nope, babysitting anyone named James Potter would not be an easy task.  But why did Snape drop by and so late! If he had agreed to watch the childern (okay, only Al) then he's worefully late and that's inconsiderate! Jerk, he'd have done better not to show up at all!

God, what a brilliant line! I loved teh hunger analogy. 

What a beautiful chapter!  This brought tears to my eyes - what an utterly desolate soul Marisol's Severus is!  I hope this makes him realise that there are people who care about him.  But I suppose this must be a new feeling for him ... here's to hoping he doesn't dismiss it.Thanks again for bringing this lovely story to the English-speaking audience!

Ahhh, nice ending line! I can't wait to find out what happens next!Livvy

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!

OOOOhhhhhh! That was brilliantly intense!!! I get the feeling that thing he wants - is starving for - is Hermione? Please say I'm right!!!

Been following this since the first chapter.  But it's only now that I see why it's a great story.  Thank you.

Oooh, naughty girl followed the evil man to the dungeons - what was she (not) thinking? Follow the snake into his lair and leave unscathed? Foolish girl. You're Snape is so dark and brooding, broken, and for some reason, he's reaching out to her. Why?

What an utter berk! Oh, Snape... bad move!At least Roger took it all in stride, but he's going to have to do some explaining to that young lady later on, isn't he?And Hermione always being the brunt of Snape's cruel streak. I'd have stormed off from him whenhe'd tried to talk to me at the bottom of the stairs. A simple 'bye' and he'd see my, but no, she's much too nice and polite. But man, Snape can certainly be a ass!
