Nice chapter, I'd love to know what the runes stand for.

I suspect Severus needs to re-evaluate his feelings and start dealing with them and acting on them as appropriate.

Ut Oh, I do believe Severus is getting his feathers ruffled.

Mmm I like the rising tension, poor Snape can only take so much. I want more, he needs to get on with it and stop pining away! Hermione needs some of that intensity. heh. So do I. ;) Enjoying this, thank you!

Well-written, fun and sad, all at the same time. Snape seems so pitiful in this story, so down and out. I am almost cheering for Draco -- after all, he is young, handsome and available. Why not?

Wonder how Hermione would react if she thought something was going on between Sev and Septima?  Poor man needs some TLC from someone. Great fic! Loving every update and can't wait for more!

I'm enjoying where you're heading with this. I have to say I am a Dramione fan as well, though Severus is my first love. =) I think the pacing of the story is a bit slow but the descriptiveness is enchanting. You're building suspense nicely and again, I'm loving your characterization of Severus. I can see him being this way. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Interesting angle with Severus. Obsessed and yet acting the arse. I like it. It's quite childish though. I wonder what will finally bring him out of his shell?

Dammit dammit dammit! Hermione is terribly dumb. Here she is, picking MALFOY, when she could so easily have SNAPE. Girl's gotta get her priorities straight.But I'm glad you updated :)

Severus should be more pro-active in his courting, he might get results.

What a chapter - what is going to be the straw that broke the camel's back so to speak - he lost it over what he saw and is barely holding it together.
Good writing.

I have a nasty suspicious mind. I wonder if Hermione has enlisted Draco to make Severus jealous? After all, there is no concrete evidence that she has slept with him, just suggestions.

yay that was fast, I'm glad Draco wasn't having sex with a student. I'm not sure if Hermione likes Snape or if she just wants to be friends but the fact that she slept with Draco creats alot of questions. nice chapter. although in my mind anything less than 25 pages is short. :P

Hi Levicorpus,I'm having a hard time deciding whether Severus is deranged or falling in love with no idea how to deal with the emotions. So I can't decide if I want him and Hermione to get together or want her well away from someone who could end up a stalker. In short, you're doing a great job being ambiguous. And I'm with Muggline, wondering if he did really see Hermione with Draco or if he's obsessing over her so much he's imagining it. Good work!RedRoo

Bad naughty boy to have such dreams about a colleague... I hope it will lead to something more concrete. I love the all thing immensely and Am very thrilled about the quick update.

Love a furious Snape, very sexy!  I also like the fact you are exploring the use of other members of the staff in your story. Curious to see what role Septima will play, I have my suspicions but for now I will keep that to myself.  Thanks for the very quick update keep them coming. 

Interesting chapter, that one. Did he actually see that the woman with Draco was Hermione? Or does he simply see what he wants to see? After all, you did not mention that it really was her...

I wonder if Draco was just a tumble for Hermione and she is really interested in Severus?

This is a great description of a Snape in love, hard as rock on the outside and a mass of quivering jello on the inside.  I read "Their Death-Marked Love" and enjoyed in greatly so I know this will be a good fic also.  I will give you a gold star for such a great start even if Snape wouldn't!

Bye-bye, now I can actually see Snape saying that, sarcasticly of course.

I'm so relieved the next chapter is in the queue.  This is such a well-written little fic, and the emotions and frustrations are palpable.  Wonderful chapter, evil cliffie, and my first money was on the fact that it won't be Hermione with Draco.  But then I realize how evil this feels (in a good way) and thought, maybe it is.  And now I don't know.I hope you're proud of yourself.

Hmmmm.  Nothing is ever as it seems, so just WHO is Draco snogging so heatedly in the corridor?  :D

Don't leave your run too late Sev, you will get gazumped!

HORRIBLE!

(Of course, I am yelling at where you decided to stop!)

Evil, evil author. I'm anxious to see if it's Hermione or a student with Draco. Either of which spells trouble for him. Aw... poor Severus.

Great story so far. Look forward to more.

Snape really is obsessed.  But he won't harm Draco, I don't believe.  This really makes me wonder how it will play out.
