Well, the ball is now safely in Hermione's court.  I love how Severus left the scene.

Oh things are getting very interesting.Look forward to next update. Thank you

Just discovered this and read it all in one go.  Loved it!!Wonderful job on all of the teachers, and love the tone of your Severus.  The premise is great - adding this to my favorites, hope to see much more of this!

Wow. My God. That man has restraint in spades. I wish he'd just throw out his deck of cards. :::pouts:::Ughhhhhhhhhh but then he wouldn't be Severus would he? Gah. I hope Granger gets her act together because if she doesn't... I will find a way into this mythical Hogwarts and show him how glorious it would be to let loose of all restraint. lol. I must be tipsy. ~

Thanks for updating! Now I'm going to have to go back and reread. :)

"updates should come much more quickly"
I'm so glad to hear that and to read about Severus' justified or not jealousy.
And lots of "good vibes" to Soulbond. Whatever has upset her I hope she'll feel better soon.

Oh yuck!! I don't know what's worse: the idea that Hermione was in the hall with Draco, or Rolanda Hooch. Eww!! Well, come to think of it, it would make more sense to have been Rolanda, considering the remark Hermione made about her and Draco. I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter.

Wait, wait.Was it Rolanda from the beginning?  Draco, you cougar-chaser, you. :D

Good story. I like this, please update soon!

I'm so enjoying this story that I just had to rec it on The_New_Library over on LJ. There is a banner/icon available if you'd like to have it. Keep up the great work!!

Hm... I wonder if Hermione personalized the runes for each professor.  I wonder what Severus's means.

I feel bad for that poor student who had detention!

Uh oh!

LoL  Severus needs (at the very least) a good night's sleep.

Hahaha... uh oh!  Draco is impeding on Sev's territory (even if it has only been marked by his mind, lol)

I can't believe I have not fallen on this sooner!  I have a bit of catching up to do!  Like it so far.

I don't know how I missed this gem of story but this is my 1st reading, had to read all 6 chapters together. Absolutly brilliant, I love your Snape ....he's quite scary. Many thanks

I am enjoying your story inmensely. It´s not usual to find such a well written story even in this ship wich somehow has the best stories.But I feel a little unsatisfied with the beggining "in media res". I´d love to know how did Snape got himself into that situation. I mean, you don´t tell how it happened to him, how did he fall in love. Will you explain that later=?Thaks a lot for the story.

Severus is a very, very scary, pathetic and obsessive man in this story. I like it when authors manage to keep that in him.

I take it Draco and Hermione didn't last very long?  Hee. 

he should look up his rune...

Captivating as always! Waiting like a good puppy, tail wagging, for more!

I'm excited to see an update, but there's no need to say sorry!  :)  It happens sometimes.Poor, poor Severus.  He thought it might be 'their little secret'.   Oh, that must've been crushing.

Poor SoulBound.  And to think, I was about to hassle her about "A Living Hell"...

I love this story.  If I hadnt just bought a book on grammar and therefore hadnt read it yet, I'd offer to help you out on the beta side.  But I'm just not that confident in my comma skills yet.

:(

Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much. Soulbound is absolutely amazing and has brought a lot to this story. For the grand-daddy of all grammar books, check out The Elements of Style if you haven't already.

Poor Severus, up one minute down the next, I'm surprised he can keep a meal down with all this emotional turbulance.  Glad your back!
