Ch.13 - DOH! Again you stop just when I\'m eager for more more more!!!!!! Muahahahahaha! I LOVE IT! Brilliant! Cliffhangers are always the best at these parts of the story!!! Oh, and Snape\'s little comment that they aren\'t going to kill each other..... yet..... well it was gosh darn perfect in my book! And her hands tingling too? Oooooooooooooo weeeeeeeeeeee!!!! She is sooooooo in love with Snape it\'s funny, haha! And Snape is sooooooooooo in love with her it\'s more funny! HAHAHA! Sigh... love is such a beautiful nasty piece of work, hahahahahahaha! Well it is, seriously..... it\'s the most precious and yet the most dangerous thing in the world!

I am still admiring how you make them test each other though. They want to be together soooooooooooo bad again but they are doing the right thing by \"taking a break\" until they can BOTH mature a little. Not just Snape, but Hermione too. She has a lot of things to learn. It wasn\'t entirely fair that she blamed the enitre rape thing on Snape, well the consequences afterwards anyways. Yeah, she was abused in a way, but Snape isn\'t the only one who needs to mature here. So I\'m glad you are exploring that as well.

And Marcus just reminds me more and more and more of that creep I dated last year. Seriously, it gave me goosbumps. I was thinking, ooooooo if I was Hermione I would hex his balls right off then shrink his penis into nothingness! Maybe THEN would he learn to think with his REAL head! HA! But, alas, that is just my wish, hahahahahahaha! I wish I could have done that to Mr-someone-I-hate-from-my-past...... so yeah. Well I hope you update soon! Im actually taking time from writing my fic to read yours! lol! It\'s ok though, because I\'m having writers block right now, so anything to clear my thoughts is wonderful... and this story is indeed wonderful to read! Keep it up! Toodles!

Damn, that was good. Marcus is a great character, but he is in way over his head. Doesn\'t he know not to poke a snake.

I hate to say this, but I almost wish that Hermione is forced to use those fighting skills on Marcus. In your other story Severus let her off, and she had those charmed peices of jewelry. She does\'t see Marcus as a threat, and I think this is the biggest danger. I think she is going to learn the hard way that even though her situation with Severus wasn\'t going well, her current situation is not going to be any better.

What she told Severus about their relationship she should have done years before. They should have discussed where they were going before. I think Hermione is doing just exactly what Severus had warned her about. I think she is wanting to spread her wings at the cost of hurting someone who truly loves her. I\'m not saying Severus isn\'t partly to blame, but she knew what she was getting into he was honest. Now all of a sudden she decided things aren\'t going right and shuts him out.

If you are in love with someone you don\'t do that. You talk things out and work things out. You don\'t go and flaunt yourself with other men. I am very disappointed in Hermione in this story.

Ch.11 - Oh wow! That picture is great! She did an excellent job!!! Yeah, that does look like the Marcus I pictured, coolness!

Anyways, the chapter. Oooooooooo Marcus in this chapter really really really reminded me of a guy I had been seeing last year. To put it simply, I am no longer with this guy. I broke it off with him because he was getting too obsessive and demanding with me, and I need my space! GAH! At one point, where Marcus wanted to rub his hands together, and then when he was buttering it up to Hermione about him being really sorry and blah blah blah..... omg I was seething and writhing in my seat! It brought back all my memories and feelings and emotions when I was with that one guy, and it made me feel horrible and confused all over again!

Ok, so you are prolly like wtf is that bad? No no no! It\'s actually a good thing because making me feel like that means you have brought out the character so well in Marcus that he\'s practically real and all that. A lot of writers have a hard time making their new characters believable and interesting and non-cliche, but you are doing an excellent job and I really admire your effort to make it as such. It\'s so funny because Marcus is more of a dirty snake than Severus! BLAH! Hmmm.... ok Severus is the good snake, and Marcus is the ugly snake who wants to eat all the other snakes, hahahaha! Errr.... if that made sense, haha!

Anyways, Hermione is going to realize what she\'s getting herself into when it\'s almost too late to back out unscathed. And that is actually a very good thing, because as intelligent as she is, she is still young and un-wsie about all of life\'s struggles. She\'s going to have to learn the hard way, just like I did and I\'m sure many other women have. A man can be charming at the right time but undeneath he\'s just a pile of dirt! So I do hope Hermy learns a lesson, but I hope Snape will as well. He needs to open up more or he WILL lose her at some point. Relationships can\'t work with out communication, and I\'m so glad oyu play with that theme! Ok, as always, excellet read! Hope there is more soon! Toodles!

**I might have to try out some fanart for your fic too if I get the chance, haha! Yeah, I\'m that addicted! First I need to finish mine though, hahaha! I\'ll see how it goes!**

Yup, Marcus jsut doesn\'t get it (the connection between Hermione and Snape) and I don\'t think he ever will. Hermione has made a bit of a mistake in her naivete and this is going to cause problems, I\'m afraid. I can\'t remember who reviewed and said they should have ironed these things out earlier in their relationship and I agree with them on that. But then at the same time, Hermione had never been in a relationship before and maybe, only maybe, can be excused for that reason. It certainly would have eased this mess.

Did I miss the reason why Severus can\'t marry Hermione? Is that yet to be explained?
