I\'m torn between feeling bad for Hermione and the shock to her system, and standing up to cheer that she\'s finally let herself be angry at SOMETHING enough to let some steam out. Okay, so destroying the bathroom wasn\'t the most mature anger management response... But Hermione\'s not exactly a poster child for fully actualized adult emotions. Not just laughing and taking Ron\'s \"joking\" insult was a big step in the right direction, though! :D

Enjoyed Harry\'s birthday party - I was smashing up the bathroom alongside Hermione! Poor girl! I reckon Lav\'s shagging Kingsley and that\'s why he turns a blind eye. Ron is probably heavily involved with a vibrating adult novelty for men from WWW and Molly Weasley must be a death-eater spy to have messed things up so much for Ron, Ginny, Harry and Hermione. Hermione will end up loving Calleo all the more because he IS Snape. Keep up the good work, Betz.

Those are some mighty powers of denial Hermione has working for her there ;) And i don\'t just mean because she\'s denying her own realisation that she\'s falling for Snape but in her belief that she hasn\'t yet given into temptation. I would file dry-humping a guy as having already crossed the line of temptation . . . so Hermione dear, why not just keep going? It\'s too late anyway! lol And the tension is killing me.
I feel completely seduced.
I loved your exploration of Snape in his character. On the one hand he is desperate for her to figure out who he is, on the other hand he wants to prolong her ignorance. I had a strong sense that Snape was indulging Hermione\'s denial not merely for own sake but for his. Because while Hermione was denying their situation, he could deny how ephemeral their relationship could be once his identity is acknowledged. Seeing his cool facade crumble as he begged her to give in was truly moving and you executed it so well! I was left with goosebumps - even the way he was pressed to her back . . . though they\'re so close it seemed to be another form of distancing beyond the blindfold he normally wore. So intimate and so distant. It must be truly painful. Poor Severus.
You know, considering Hermione wants to be a potions mistress, she could have easily swiped some of Severus\'s hair and you know - with polyjuice on herself - she\'d figure out pretty quickly who he is. The books never said you couldn\'t use polyjuice in a trans-gender way. For this not to have occured to her given how much she allegedly wants to know who he is . . . I think she knows. She knows and is completely not ready to face it, so why would she try something sneaky like that when she could delay it some more?
As much as this story is so beautiful to me it always leaves me so disheartened. The complicated situation is further complicated by a complete unwillingness in both girls to \'be the bad guy\' as it were and take what they want. In Ginny\'s case there seems more reason for not asking for a divorce because Ginny (for whatever reason) really believes that Harry would kill Draco. Hermione .. . hmmm. Loyalty to Ron, not only her husband but her friend? is the reason why none of them seem to be seriously considering divorce because that is extremely rare in the wizarding world?
Keep up the excellent work I\'m utterly enthralled :)

I have been away from Aff for far too long... but I arrive back to 5 new chapters of this fic. Absolutely excellent! The current chapter was the icing on the cake... soooo much sexual frustration. Well written and highly addictive :) Can\'t wait for the next chapter to arrive :D

Argh! Yes, I\'m ready to whack Hermione upside the head! How can she sit on his lap and grind herself down on his pulsating erection whilst blindfolded and running her hands over his face and hair without going to kiss him. In my book, giving a man a lapdance is pretty unfaithful anyway - she might as well go for the full-on shag.
It would be hilarious if she suddenly realised, mid-blindfolded shag, that it was Snape all along. Are you mean enough to do that to Hermione? After this last chapter, I certainly could. ;)
Still loving it - keep up the good work, Betz.

Yes!!!! BUt that only built up the tension even more. Oh!dear gods in heaven, she has to know that this is Severus! I have a feeling that she doesn\'t seem to mind all that much. Yes, Ron is till cheating on is wife; with whom, I don\'t know. But he just seems a bit squirrlely lately. And I find it very interesting she still has this escape box and plans to use it (she tells herself that she isn\'t but she wouldhave gotten rid of it if that were really true). Who knows, maybe she and Severus will meet up after both have escaped and live happily ever after....I can wish!
