I prefer chapter one. I think it was the insight into his mind that make it not so... you know.

TenderQuaintWitch: Horrible? lol. You really are tender, aren't you? :))) {{{TQW}}}

The first version was better. Yeah it was a bit creepy but it seems the wizarding world is stuck in the Victorian ages anyway, so snape's dialog makes it easier to look at the story. The second version was totally creepy on the squick factor!! Just with him staring at her and the whole hair stroking *shudders* But kick ass premise ^_^

ooh yeh, the second version is well creepy!!! I think it throws up all sorts of questions about paedophilia doesn't it. I don't agree with it of course, however, i was an early starter myself and was well aware and in control of what I was doing! My b/f was the same age and we experimented a little... it would have been very different if he had been an adult though. The age of consent is a legal thing anyway - I live in N Ireland (I'm English, jsut live here) anf the age of consent has just been lowered from 17 to 16. Legally it makes the difference between consensual sex and rape - lets face it, rape is the same regardless of the age of the person... so consent is legal, not personal I suppose.

Good debate, nice one Mrs Figg. Writing should provoke thought, after all.

rather intrigueing! I myself don't read the pediphile or incest fics... but that's my choice. i don't agree with censorship either (perhaps in extreme cases)

It would be interesting to read a sequel to this placed a few years later when she is of age....lol

very nicely done. I read a lot of Historicals and so true, at 12 she couldl have married and now it seems so 'taboo' The child bearing age was 12-18, after that they were considered old, lol. Well, then I am absolutely ancient and should have a couple of grandkids by now! (eww, no, no, no, lol)

Second rendition with out the dialogue is much creepier.

I enjoyed it! i dont agree with censorship either. I see a good story here.

Excellent way of handling a too-young Hermione/Snape situation! He admits his desire; which appears to be driven by her intelligence, and NOT by the fact that she is under age. He declares his intention to wait until she is age appropriate for an adult relationship.

I like that she heard him despite his spell and that she will herself wait until she is old enough to pursue him.

To me, this is not 'true pedophilia'. I hate saying anything is or isn't "true" anything. I feel this way because he is not sexually attracted to her because of her physical and chronological immaturity; to me a pedophile seeks their victims because of their young age.

I was concerned when I read the title, but I actually loved this. Shame its a one-off, it would be nice to read maybe a chapter on when they confess their feelings to each other, perhaps her telling him she heard his confession and all of that!

Nice one anyway.
