| That made my heart hurt. You're a brilliant writer. I can't wait for more from this story. Keep up the tremendous work. Author's Response: My deepest thanks for your praise. More is on the way and I hope I don't disappoint you with future chapters. | |||

| Sorry, bad Okon, indeed. I read at AFF cause I couldnt wait, but I like to review here. Still good chapter. And I am just glad Blaise was there. Could have been worse for Lav, huh? Author's Response: It was most fortuitous that Blaise came by at that moment. It could have been equally bad for Lav...or worse. They both could have wound up dead. | |||

| It was awful, poor Pavarti. I believe the next chapter will explain how she finds about Sev's double agent thing? Can't wait! Keep up the wonderful job, it's very hard to write things like these and you did a wonderful job. Author's Response: Yes, the next chapter will explain everything. Chapters 34 &35 were originally one chapter, but I segregated this part for those who wish to skip non-con. I did sbmit chapters 34 & 35 at the same time, so hopefully, it will post very soon. | |||

| Oh, poor Lavender and Parvati! Especially Parvati. Lavender surprised me with almost killing Severus. I didn't think she had it in her! Good and informative chapter! Author's Response: You're doing spoilers for the wrong chapter, dearie. Bad okon! That part isn't until next chapter, silly girl. | |||

| This was such a depressing little chapter. Very sad that what Lavender and Parvati went through! Author's Response: Yes, very depressing. Hopefully chapter 35 will be up soon, as ch 34 & 35 are actually one chapter and 34 was segregated for those who did not want to read non-con. | |||

| since i didn't give you a review on every chapter, i'm trying to make up for it with this one.
first of all, i have to give you a huge compliment!
you are one of the few authors, which are able to capture emotions in a way that the reader can feel/suffer with the protagonist.
in chapter 7 that little 'chat' of severus and lavender is great, specially the reaction from snape and his discription of hermione made me laugh. and i adore lavender, she is so much fun!
to give him albus and minerva as some kind of consciens, well they are making me smile all the time!
i like shaklebolt, he is just congenial.
in chap. 10, when hermione is scolding harry my mind began to chant: go hermione go.
chapter 11: i had to laugh at the behavior of mcpeebles, how would a person like this react, if he knew what they precious offspring has done. i do not dare to imagine!
the line about beeing part rabbit in chap. 12 is as amusing as the idea of spiking milk with laudanum!
i truly love the way hermione freed all those houseelves.
at the 19th chapter i was so full of hope, but then....
somehow i think she wouldn't ever came back if they didn't had stopped!
it must be hard for someone to have friends and nevertheless to have no-one to talk to.
i had a laugh at the mention of lockhart in chapter 21!
and i laughed so hard that i was crying by the imagination of moody and fudge beeing hexed from severus:)))
his line of imprisonment is just great.
it sounds like there are many prejudices(not sure about the spelling) even in the muggle loving 'blood-traitor' weasley-family!
i really love the whole fight about that counseling in particular the part between harry and ron; and you did it again 'lockhart'
with that 'blackmailing' one thought entered my mind:
hermione, the SHOULD BE slytherin
this 'it's all in my head, it's all in my head, i've gone mad'
reminds of a song, i just seem to be unable to remember the title of
it.
the nailpolish is so hilarious and i'll not give up hope, that hermione will tell ginny everything eventually.
chapter 30 is so sweet, i've had one of those really stupid smiles
plasterd on my face while i read it.
hermione's way to drive is alarming. her mum has all my sympathy
i feel like this every time i happen to be a passenger, even if the
cardriver is a decent one.
poor hermione, such a 'nice' dream.
i like the idea of ginny's blessing.
and i would like to say thank you for those little explanations at the end of your chapters.
i am eager to read your next chapter, i'm so curious to what will happen!
there is something i would like to request, please explain the phrase 'to raise his ire' i hardly doubt that you mean an accent,
some strange dialect or something like that. i really would apreciate
it.
bye, till the next chapter Author's Response: Oh my goodness. What a review! Well, I guess 33 chapters does require a bit of length in order to give some feedback. That is quite a compliment that I can make you, the reader, feel emotionally what the characters feel. So glad it came out successfully, instead of a load of horse shit. Yeah, Lavender is brave in her own way, treading where angel fear to go - basically prodding Severus much like one would poke a snake with a stick. Lav is pure Gryffindor in the way she handles Severus sometimes. Yeah, I like Albus and Minerva too. They are the annoying part of Severus' consciousness that he segregates, cause he can't bare the thought that he naturally feels like that. It's like admitting he's a decent human being to himself, which he is reluctant to do at times. I like Shacklebolt too. Yeah, I know Hermione would never give up her quest to free some of the house-elves and what better way that to create a bit of havoc for the Death Eaters at home - helping the war effort, while attaining her goals. Yes, you are right about chapter 19. Hermione would have been mortified. She has to be slowly turned to accepting the idea of cheating on Ron. She just can't come to some sudden conclusion that this is what she wants to do, she has to have her resolve slowly worn away and eventually embrace the idea. Yes, though Hermione has friends, there are some things she feels she can't share with the others. She needs some she feels won't judge her based on their preconceived notions of what she's like. You are corect in assuming that other predjudices exsist. What I try to point out is that no one is without blame in this fic. No one is competely innocent. Everyone has their own flaws. I like GInny giving her "blessing" to Severus too. I really like Ginny in my fic, as she treats Severus like a human being without all this being put off by his blustery attitude and doesn't walk on eggshells around him like others do. Hermione and Ginny will talk openly in time, just not until Hermione knows everything going on. I wanted to show that despite Harry and Ron being good friends, they still fight like ordinary people do. "To raise his ire" means to make someone angry. Merriam-Webster defines ire as: Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin ira; perhaps akin to Greek oistros gadfly, frenzy : intense and usually openly displayed anger synonym see ANGER. Hope that answers your question. | |||

| Wonderful story, dialogue to savor, 3D character development, savvy references & in-jokes, delightful humor, and a realistic modern magic tale, all wrapped up in JKR's fantasy world ... I love it. The smut seems completely natural - kudos for that as well. I just read the first 33 chapters in one sitting and can't wait for the next chapters. How many chapters do you anticipate having?
I hope you don't make any changes in your planned story line just because of HPB. If JKR really does intend for Snape to be evil and nothing but evil for all 7 books, there will be tons of fans who still think Snape was one of the most interesting characters of the series who deserved more. And there will be JKR fans who will consider Snape's development manipulative and inconsistent.... Do I sound bitter or paranoid? I WILL reserve final judgement until Book 7, but I'm very worried. :0 It's not that I mind being surprised, but that - despite my love for JKR's creation - her writing and plot development IS sometimes inconsistent and contrived. I've never read HP related fan fic before, but I'm finding it a wonderful antidote againt the often disappointing level of writing in JKR's books.
As you say in your disclaimers (which are plums themselves), we thank JKR for her wonderful creation.... but I'm so glad you and others with your wit and command of language have borrowed her characters. You story is one of the best of the many fun and rewarding fanfics I' ve discovered. Thanks to you and your beta-reviwers.
Author's Response: Wow! Waht a review! In response to your enthusiastic praise of my fic, all I can say is that I'm trying to write the best that I can for this fic. For the fact you enjoy it so much pleases me to no end. Glad the smut seems natural. Some sex can be boring and I wanted to show that. I don't know how many chapters I will have, all that I know is that I have a very clear idea where I want this story to go, end targets you could say. Thrilled you like my disclaimers too, but it is damn hard to come up with an interesting disclaimer some times. Once again, kindest thanks for your praise. | |||

| Hello! Let's see if I can combine 33 chapters of review into one. While writing this, I found I had trouble expressing my thoughts clearly, so hopefully you can interpret Wade-ish to understand why I like your story.
First of all: Damn you! You have created a powerful story that is very seductive and compelling. I find myself mulling over it during the day, wanting to re-read, and desperately begging for more.
The psychologies of the characters are realistically explored and evident. Not only are their motivations clear, but their actions and decisions follow said motivations. In my past, I tinkered with theatre and acting, where you ate, drank, and slept "Motivation." So when I read fanfiction (or make a lame-ass attempt to write it), I fall back on those old stage questions. Canon situations are beautifully used to explain character actions. It's believable that Harry has many issues and need's counseling badly. Unless Ron and Hermione find things other than Hogwarts and Harry to build a relationship on, thier marriage is going to turn out just like you have depicted. And after dealing with the stupidity of the general public for eight hours a day working at a grocery store, even I find myself feeling very "Snapeish." Here, fictional characters meet the real world that I recognize and they are ALIVE.
Being a newbie to not only the Potterverse (eight months now) and the SS/HG world, I don't know the rules to this particular challenge. But you did mention that one of them was that Hermione was supposed to be a virgin, and that you had ignored that. I don't think you did. Hermione may have had sex, but she has never made love. She has never experienced intimacy. There is a huge difference, and you have made that very clear (whether intended or not). Trust me, we are all waiting on pins and needles for her to recieve the kind of love and affection that she is craving. The tension is making my teeth sweat.
Your plotline is woven well. I am excited to see how all of this comes together. You have left enough hints that I see what's coming (or rather, what's been going on on the side) but that I'm still hooked and wondering how and when everything will be revealed. I'm screaming at the characters that if they would only to "this" and "that" everything would be so much better! But alas, they either can't or don't listen to me. So I must be patient.
Props to you for your insanely addictive and sexually frustrating story, and to your betas for their hard work as well.
Kisses!
Wade Author's Response: Congratulations! You are review number 900 for this story. I certainly didn';t think this story would be so long when I started it, but it has and thank you for slogging through it all and enjoying it. Yes, I do want the motivations behind the characters explained and explored -- thank you for noticing that. So glad you don't find it tedious. Yes, you are right in that Hermione is a virgin is some ways. I've tried to paint her as a mental one. This woman still prefers sex in the dark, as she's not sexually comfortable with herself. Calleo/Severus is awakening the sexual being inside of her. So you are right in that she is a virgin in some way. I issued the gigolo challenge and decided when I was going to write this that Hermione was not inexperienced, but unsatisfied. There is plenty more ahead, as I'm still in act I of this three act story. Act I ends when Severus kisses her. So glad you are along for this bumpy ride. | |||
