Oh dear, this is bad. Real bad. Although I am glad to learn that Snape is not going to be held responsible for Hermione's state, my heart bleeds for them both.

I am enjoying the mystery aspect of this story, and you write very well.  I am not however a fan of rape.  Could you tell me if it will be mentioned in passing as above, or will you be writing it out?   I can deal with the gloss over, not the actual, so I would probably skip those chapters if they come.  That being said, this is probably one of the best written stories I've read lately.

What chilling tortures.  I found myself on the edge of tears, just as I did with the previous chapter.  Well written, as usual.

Phew, he won't be held accountable for Hermione's condition. I'd like to know, though, how it comes that Hermione bore his child. I suppose the answer will come in time.

I'm going to answer your FFN review reply here, since one cannot answer the authors comments there. You wrote: "I won't tell you and spoil the mystery either. :) Why did you not read it at TPP? It always posts there first. Thank you for reading and reviewing." -----I usually do read here at TPP, but I was having this little glitch with this website that day and went off to discover you also posted at FFN. So with that bit of confusion, I am really looking forward to the next chapters as the story is unfolding more now. And I won't mention 's father, by name, at all.

This is an absolutely riveting tale.  I have my suspicions that our culprit is either Malfoy Sr or Percey.  Irish

Ooh, it gets excitinger and excitinger all the time!  Everything else I have to say is made up of a very great deal of speculation, so I shall hold it in my head and wait with great anticipation for more.

I read The Winters Tale for Shakespeare class!  I didn't like it... But that's okay!  Huzzah for literary references.  It makes me feel smart when I recognize them.  Of course, then I feel the opposite when I don't recognize them.  Oh well.

I had serious doubts before opening the page for this story, but I'm glad I overcame them and decided to read on. It is really good! I kind of wish the chapters were longer though, lol

thank you

Poor Hermione, she has been well and truly brainwashed

I hope they have very competent healers at St Mungo's...

At this point, I am glad that Harry has found her! I thought maybe Harry would send his Patronus in to the flat for Hermione to see; that it might help alleviate some of her fear ... but she seems too confused and distraught, no doubt she wouldn't believe anything presented to her. This is a wicked good story.

Wow, I am so happy they have found her and taken her out of the apartement. There are so many questions I would love to have the answear to, most of all why and who. Next; who is Peri's real parents? I admit that most clues hints towards Severus, but I don't want him to be so cruel that he have kept her locked up, stolen her life and quite possible, her child. (Severus is my hero:-))Oh my, I am going to count days until the next update!

Wow at least Harry has now found her. Hopefully they can begin to unravel what is going on here. Good chapter, enjoying this tale, it's different (in a good way!).

This is amazing.  I know there must be a connection between Hermione, Snape, and Peri, and I am on the edge of my seat!

So terribly sad! What the hell has happened to her?Livvy

I think she's Snape and/or Hermione's daughter...but why doesn't Hermione remember?? And ooo i have so many questions! Very interesting story, you've definitley have my attention

very intriguing :)

This is a very interesting story you have made, very different from others. I am as Emmeline sitting on the edge of my seat waiting. Very well written

You are weaving this story so deftly.  I am on the edge of my seat, waiting for the next update!

That was good,Poor Hermione she has been lied to so much.It's like shs condichioned to stay in her flat.If she ever does find out Harry is alive and everything is o.k. she won't be able to believe it.I have a felling that the little girl is hers though.Hopefully Severus will be in the story nex time.Update soon!

This is enthralling.  The mysteries are compelling: Hermione's situation in the flat, Perdita's parentage.  I am looking forward to this story's progression and denouement!

What's been done to Hermione? Clearly, something wrong's going on, and I'm curious to see what it is.

Hmmm, what to believe? Is Harry dead, and Hermione fantasising? Is Harry alive and Hermione being duped? If so. why? The suspense is killing me!

Something tells me that Peri is Hermione's child.  Hermione is in a very interesting position.  Did her caretaker put her there for her own safety or for some dark reason of their own?  I look forward to finding out.  I'm a little worried about all the warnings, but I trust that they are a necessary part of the plot line.
