The last two chapters have been fantastic! Th way you wrote it only mentions Snape\'s actual decisions a couple of times, but it feels like there\'s this undercurrent of energy, as if Hermione\'s being propelled towards something she\'ll never be ready to face...very chilling. :D

Wow, getting good. I hope you update quickly.

Please let us knw if you have a copy on ff.net and stop updating here. My only concern is that you might feel compelled to censor it for an R rating. Don\'t. You can probably get away with it if you put warnings at the top of your headers. I just don\'t want to read a watered down version. ;)

This last chapter was creepy, but very intruiging. Go evil Snape!

But... but... but... I don\'t want Snape to go to the Dark side. I want him to be a good guy. I shall pout until March 2. Excellent, compelling story.

Ch 11 - I will read your story wherever I find it first updated! But I try to review each chapter just once, \'cuz that sounds like the right thing to do, even though I really want to rave about this chapter. It is amazing just what you show going through Severus\' mind - very scary that Voldemort has known of Severus\' spy status. Voldie may not have let him live if he chose otherwise. I still hope he falls in love with Hermione - couldn\'t that be part of the spell that his father put on the book? - and that he won\'t let Voldie have the book\'s knowledge for evil. A victorious Voldie would always be controlling what Severus could learn and what to do with the knowledge; Severus would be better off with Albus, although Albus deserves a KICK IN THE PANTS for mistrusting Severus and mistreating him on staff, etc. (I\'m a Snape fan, or is that obvious?) Thanks for the chapter - go Severus!!

Rough chapter showing the complexity of Severus\' character. He didn\'t like raping and killing the girl, but he still responded and enjoyed it. This isn\'t Severus at his most redeemable. Well done, though.

Thanks for the Horace translation -- it\'s a far better one than I first read in college. Aside from that, I particularly liked the interaction between Lupin and Snape. So often Lupin is written as milquetoast without the brains I think JKR intended -- people have a mistaken tendency to compare compassion with weakness -- it\'s nice to see that you haven\'t fallen into that trap. Additionally, I\'ve been enjoying Snape\'s inner dialogue as he performs for the Dark Lord. It\'s very easy to gloss over the fact that as a spy he\'s had to continue to engage in rather repugnant acts which excited him when he was younger... that you have written it so that it still excites him is rather interesting. I think you\'ve found a very nice balance between canon and fanon Snape in your characterization. I will be eager to see your next posting.

Something tells me the Dork Lard didn\'t think it was funny what happened to Lucius. I thought it was hilarious. Another nice chapter, now back to waiting, twiddling my thumbs, not sleeping well, checking for updates... such is my life.
