A superb beginning. I am so looking forward to reading more of this.
Hopefully, Helena will play some role later on?

Hooray! I\'m glad to see this. You don\'t need me to tell you again how much I like the concept (to review: I do, I do!), but the new stuff is equally compelling -- the drama from Hermione\'s point of view. I strongly believe in sensible-under-fire Hermione and so the way you have her react seems completely in character. (Her decision to sign on for a Snape marriage without specifically asking if that was all right with him is, I suppose, a sign of her faith in her own logic, but it\'s amusing to think of it as her one act of power in a situation that makes her powerless.)

Her musings on Snape\'s attractiveness (or, rather, lack thereof) has the ring of poetry. Plus it\'s a good reality check for all who have taken a sharp left from canon ... I like Snape the greasy, attractive by dint of intelligence, power and silky voice. (And Edwardian fashion. Buttons, buttons everywhere. Though I guess that\'s really a Warner Brothers creation.)

This is a teeny tiny picky poibut but I think a word got lost in this sentence when you uploaded the story: \"Dumbledore added softly and Hermione

Nice start!! I love the way that they\'re set up together as a punishment. That is a fantastic twist.

Sounds good so far but I\'m not sure why Severus\' father is trying to get revenge if it says he never really believed Severus had any part to do with his wifs death.

I find in amusing that the first thing she thinks of after signing is how bad she\'s going to get it from her parents. It\'s something I would do. Hehehehe. I like this new story, I\'m glad it found it\'s way to paper. And to AdultFF.

Another excellent story beginning from you. I love to see your name showing up as an author - it guarantees a good read. Can\'t wait to see how this plays out. I\'m assuming his sister has no idea about her brother Severus. Can\'t wait until they meet.
