Hi! I can\'t tell you how much I\'ve enjoyed reading this fic. You\'ve done an excellent job portraying Hermione and Snape, and I especially like how Snape can\'t help being a git despite everything. You\'ve done a great job so far and I can\'t wait to find out what happens next! (What I really mean to say is, will Hermione kick Malfoy\'s ass or what?! Heh.)

O.K. First, eleventybillion days is exactly how long I have been at work this week!!

Second, I am quite sure that you do not have Captain Trips, but to be on the safe side avoid \'The walking dude\',he may also call himself Randall Flagg!! (My favourite book ever, Stephen King-Genius!!)

Third, Review. I actually winced with sympathy for Hermione\'s insomnia, there truly isn\'t anything worse than that whole \'blanket on-blanket off, one pillow- two pillows\' thing. I am familiar with it and you portrayed it very realistically (and like someone who has experienced it)
Relatives are a nightmare aren\'t they?
I love Hermione\'s taste in music, which I\'m assuming is also yours (You\'ve got me hooked on Damn Evanescence, they are still quite new over here, but I am going to buy their CD after Christmas) Fiona, Tori and Christina all rock!!
\"About two a.m. I heard a yawn. Smooth, Snape. Silencing spells only work one way, you dumbass\" LMAO!!
I absolutely cracked up with laughter over the \'Belladonna\' exchnge, brilliantly executed!!
Snape\'s bumbled apology was brilliant, things are always easier to say in your head than out loud!!
Cousin Amy is hidious!!
I am still completely addicted to this and I love your Hermione so much (your Sev is cool too!!)
Big supportive kisses

P.s, check below for my rant in reply to your A/N!!

Ok, just ignore the reviewer who has the issue with swearing - they should know how to use the back button if they don\'t like something. This is a great story, and very well written. Please continue it for readers like me who are enjoying it! Thanks!

Right I\'m back, and very pissed off!!

This is an NC17 review, so if you are underage look away now....

Too much foul language? my answer would be read somewhere else then!!
Uneducated and American? My answer would be intelligent and American, my favourite people!!
Out of character characters? It\'s called Fan FICTION!! and for the record, I think that MissM\'s characters are very in character!!
Too much thinking about Snape? Grief\'s a funny thing and if someones never grieved then they cannot possibly know the crazy things that go through your head!!
Labled chapter seven as chapter five? Working your arse off seven days a week fourteen hours a day will do that to you!!

I don\'t know how much my opinion counts, but in all my correspondance with you, you have seemed like someone who I would very much like as a friend, witty, intelligent, good taste in music and books, and someone who can make me smile across thousands of miles. I look forward to your chapters, emails and reviews, and don\'t let anyone tell you different!!
Sorry, had to get that off my chest!!
Kisses

Great chapter! Loved it - you\'re doing a great job maintaining the essences of the characters while putting them through some very intense emotional experiences. I eagerly await your next update!!!

Ummm... did someone ACTUALLY come to a site with the url of \"adultfanfiction.net\" and complain about SWEARING? Especially the moderate swearing that you\'re using, keeping it well within the believable realm? Tsk, tsk. Ignore the ignorant, m\'lady! Keep going the way you\'re going - this is an excellent fic and you\'re dealing with the emotions quite nicely. I\'ve found the characters to be \"in character\" - i.e. you\'ve kept the essences of each character while placing them in unusual situations - situations which are NOT found in the books, and therefore who can judge that their reactions are out of character? We only get Harry\'s POV in the books... who knows what Snape\'s thinking. For all we know, after he gets back to his quarters after a long day, he kicks on some pink bunny slippers ;) - (just kidding, although it\'s enly Ply POSSIBLE!). Sheesh.

Anyway, that was a long-winded way to say you\'re not \"uneducated\" and keep writing!

I just read your A/N and chuckled.... I might be demented, but I think that Hermione and Snape are pretty well in character. Bossy and snarky. Mmmmm boy! I\'m LOVING the story, I can\'t wait to read more!

I had to post again and second the comment that the line \"About two a.m. I heard a yawn. Smooth, Snape. Silencing spells only work one way, you dumbass\" was the BEST! I burst lauglaughing and caught an interesting look from my husband..... he knows about my Snape obsession, and I think he\'s a little concerned for my sanity, but it always makes me blush when he looks at me like that while I\'m reading Snapeyporn. :) LOL Anyhow, keep it up!
