Great idea- I nominate Ron Weasley as the demon sacrifice! Problem solved! ;) I am constantly checking this page for updates- go Figgy go! I want a Snape bodyguard too! ::pouts:: This story just keeps getting better- and here I thought it would be over after the vampire problem was solved... silly me!

I like it. Please update soon.

Wow, you really made me loath Minerva in this chapter! She's incredibly self-righteous and sanctimonious here and given that other DADA-teachers routinely took risks like this over the years without anyone objecting also hypocritical. But then it's so much easier to blame a Slytherin AGAIN when one of her own House is threatened...
And threatening him with Azkaban after all Snape did for the school and their side, after she already failed spectacularly during his own schooltime to protect him from her "nice" little charges! Gods, she really disgusts me here.

I hope that Severus, after solving this, can find a better place to work at, tell McGonagall to fuck off and leave Hogwarts' hateful halls behind...

*cackles* Excellent! I do hope some yummy smut is ahead. Hmm... I could just see Snape tying her up now and... :)

Holy Crap!!! A soul-stealing demon?!?!?! This is a fantastic story and I cant wait to read what happens next. Poor Hermione...well, actually shes a lucky girl getting to sleep in Snapes' bedroom ;)

*cackles* What a turn of events! I LOVE it! ^___^

LOL oh my, ruth! what did you do to the both of them now?
and I had thought you'd be finished with this story as soon
as vashti was killed... but no, you draw this out more and more - awesome!
now, how will hermione react to that new situation?
I love how they're forced to deal with eachother now :P

The scene with Minevra was very funny. I can't wait to read the next chapter

Interesting new chapter- as if the vampire thing wasn't enough, now Hermione has a demon after her? Yikes. It still seems pretty stupid for Severus to summon a demon at all, much less in front of his students. Even if they are technically "adults", he is always yapping about how "dunderheaded" everyone is, why would he think anyone so young could handle a demon if so many mature wizards and witches can't? It's a great new twist to the story, but it doesn't quite seem believable that Snape would endanger his students like that- although it does provide a convenient excuse to keep Hermione close to Snape, lol! The only thing I can think of is maybe Snape has a little too much confidence in his role as DADA instructor, that he thinks he can protect all those students from a demon by his will alone? Maybe he was better off teaching Potions after all. Even if he knows he can handle it, he has no reason to assume the students can. Sorry Sev, but I have to go with Minerva on that one. He really should have known better. It will be fun to see how this develops!

I would really love to see Ron get his just desserts for what he did to those girls, and for dumping Aden with a baby. Little creep- how much would he be bragging then? Even unintentionally, he got those other three killed. I hope he finds out eventually in this story what the consequences were for not keeping it in his pants. Stupid boy, needs to learn some responsibility in this fic- I mean, come on, he's a seventh year! And I wouldn't mind if Adam and/or Victor gave him a good scare too- lol! Unfortunately some boys never grow up. Hopefully Ron will- at least enough so I don't feel like kicking his ass every time he opens his mouth.. much!

Jadewitch: Nope. This Snape isn't infallible and makes mistakes. I think you may have hit the dragon on the scale when you said he might have been too sure of his own abilities. He is treating his students as if they are older than what they are, but then again, that is pretty much the Snape way. A simple instruction such as "Don't speak to it" is easy enough to understand. Even in Potions he had students brew potions that were potentially deadly if not brewed in the correct manner or actuall were deadly if imbibed. If Hermione had not had an emotional response to the demon's words, everything would have been fine. But that's still no excuse. He's responsible for whatever happens in the classroom, although Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts is a dangerous subject no matter how you look at it. There is no way to prepare students against the Dark Arts unless those arts are demonstrated.

You have to keep in mind every student in that class basically qualified for it, having attended the course for the full seven years, more or less sans the Final Battle and school closure. I'm relatively sure it is an elective at this stage. Classes become more difficult in the last years of school. DADA is no different. More dangerous things will be taught in the final term, so maybe he wasn't that far off the mark, but only doing what he felt was correct to do in order to educate them. Still, whatever his motivations or beliefs, Snape is in deep dung right now. And yes, it is a great device too. lol.
