I wonder what Dumbledore was telling Severus about. And I wonder what Hermione wanted to steal (Could be hilarious if she really were just tying her shoe, would serve him right) or maybe she just wanted to lurk. :pAnd bonding herself to Ron? The girl has lost her mind. Please don't let her do that.

So Voldemort is up to something too, I bet it has to do with that spell.And if Dumbledore really can read what they're writing, which I'm sure he can that conniving bastard, then he's probably grinning in his beard at Hermione's Poor Severus! comment. :p I suspect that's part of his grand scheme too.

So Severus has one too? I bet they're linked somehow. For some reason I suddenly got the thought that Dumbledore invented Wizarding LJ. *snicker*Interesting thought about that spell, though. Whether he wants to use it to get rid of rivals or to avoid others using it against him...

Ha, of course he would encourage her to use it. I'm still wondering what he's up to.

Oh Dumbledore what are you up to? I'm already veeeeery suspicious about that. Especially when he talks about grand schemes.

I love this so far.  I can't wait to see where you go from here.

Oh, I loved reading Snape's portion of this. I can really 'see' him snarking away at Albus.Looking forward to more!

I can't imagine either Dumbledore or Snape 'accidentlally' forgetting to put a Silencing Charm on the room. I'm sure Hermione heard exactly what they wanted her to.Like other reviewers, I'm certainly glad there won't be any Hermione/Ron 'binding' going on.Looking forwardt o more.

I liked this chapter and will await further updates.Thanks

Dumbledore is a right sneaky old coot, and Severus should be more alert! :)

Nope, Severus, I don't think what Albus has in mind for you will make you "cheerful" at all!!Poor man. he really doesn't know what he is in for!

I can't wait to hear his rantings when he finds out what Albus's hare-brained scheme is. Eagerly awaiting another chapter! Good job!

Poor Severus, at Albus' bidding again!  A very intriguing start, I'm looking forward to seeing what Dumbledore has in store for Hermione.

Great. Cannot wait for more.

Hee Hee! I have a feeling that whatever he is requesting will not cause Severus to be "cheerful"!! Can't wait for more!

I look forward to more of this and to see what Hermione has to say.

Wow, Snape hasn't figured it out?  He really must be in denial about it. 

Mmmm, the plot thickens!  Enjoying this very much.  :-D

Hmm ...nice style, reminds me of a modern Bram Stoker! (I love Dracula)I think that Albus can read the diary's simultaniosly, right?? like a tapped phone. Cool idea by the way!And the binding will be ....HG/SS? (I mean... that's a little predictable)I'll follow this story anyway, want to know who you are in the end. *grin*

I enjoyed this chapter. I can't wait to read more.

I've just discovered your story.  Very interesting, and I like the story telling through journal entries.With that said - methinks you are setting up a binding between Severus and Hermione.  Yes?  I'd be interested to see how this idea is received by S and H.

Well, she got over that quick! LOL Guess she'll have to bind with someone else, eh?

Oh, sneaky little kitty! And if Crooks knows - so would Snape I bet!

Awww, nice chapter. Can't wait til the next one.

glad Ron's out of the picture! hahaha
