ell, I didn't die from suspense, but I did go to the doctor yesterday and I have a life threatening condition, yay! I'm not reacting to the med side effects very well, so I'm glad for the quick updates while I'm home. I'll be fine with meds, so no worries!

Ha, I actually predicted something, huh? I do have a question: does Bella still have the hair she pulled out and will it turn back to Hermione's actual hair (polyjuice anyone)? I thought it was interesting that Voldemort made Hermione look like a Black. He sure likes making Bella jealous.

Dumbles is such an ass! I bet he's not sharing any of those spells with the rest of the Order; way to not help your compatriots dude!

Nice chapter... a bit of a cliff-hanger if I do say so myself. I think it's time to let Lord Voldemort use legilimency on Hermione and see Hermione and the handsome Tom Riddle at it.... This story is just screaming for more smut and action.

I love that your stories really get me thinking about the magic principles underpining everything. After thinking awhile, I realized that there is one spell that could get Hermione in trouble: Priori Incantatem. If (and very likely when) Dumbledore uses this on her wand, he will know about the Crucio and her combined efforts with Voldemort. Not that I doubt Our Lord but this could turn out badly for Him with Hermione and the Council.

Please update soon or the suspense might kill me!

I discovered this fic several days ago and it's brought me an absurd amount of joy. I like that there's no trace of romance or sexual attraction beyond Hermione's dream/nightmare (and teenage girls imagine themselves with all sorts of guys, so it's not a sign she's madly in love with Voldemort).

The introduction of minor amounts of physics keeps the fic interesting, and you avoid presenting aggravatingly elaborate theories or anything the reader can easily punch holes through. Your interpretation of each of the characters has been compatible with canon, even the minor ones like Tonks. I can easily see Tonks mouthing off about the "bitch" or Hermione focusing on her essay and forgetting her sufferings. I especially like your representation of a deeply thoughtful, impatient, vain Voldemort. Also, your back story gives a nice reason for why all the powerful wizards haven't managed to knock each others off yet. The assorted bylaws and rules are spot on, and you even throw in scary clowns. :-)

I think people avoid tackling Hermione/Voldemort mostly because the pairing is hard to do and requires quite a bit of thought. Fluffy Voldie/Hermione drabbles come off as delusional when there's no back story, and there's less room for a fuzzy reinterpretation of Voldemort, unlike the Malfoys.

hahaha... indeed, I believe our dear Hermione will be like Pavlov's dog and associate charming Lord Voldemort whenever she is thinking of numbers and letters.

OMG nerys, you're a bloody genius with this pairing, OMG I just rea 1-11 chapters straight through and I am foaming at the mouth in shock, awe, excitement and wonder. It was so well written, and so beautifully put together and your plots are juswt so full of research and thoughtfulness and substance that makes my head spin. I love how u make sure for us not to forget just exactly who voldemort is and we remembered well when he cruicoed her in the last chapter, poor hermione, i was so scared for her, I am dying to know what voldemort was thinking when he did that. And the building of their unstable and unsure relationship, and I use that word loosely, and the idea of the secret keeper order, and tying it in so well with canon HBP. masterful.
I just wonder what exactly is he going to with hermione, and he is his plans for the girl, and come on do you really think we forget about the dream sex sequence that was bone and mind melting with his younger self. I was thinking that he would seen it in her mind when he was teaching her, and I refuse to believe that little matter is forgotten. I believe its going to haved large significance(sp) soon, and lord i want to get some answer to that whole fiasco as to what reall happened in that dream, because all that even though generated by her mind was monumental. Please keep up the amazing work that I could go on and on about.

Respect

I'm finally able to review your story, work has been kicking my ass! Anyways this chapter was brilliant as always! I thought it was soo funny when Hermione called the Dark Lord an energizer bunny on speed lmao!! I'm really enjoying the diversity in the relationship between Lord Voldemort and Hermione, he does encourage her because it helps him and then the next instant he doesn't put up with anything so he crucios her. Then Hermione on the other side pushes him and he looses his temper but unfortunatly for her, he learns more about her at the same time. She's kinda stuck right now and needs to try and keep herself one step ahead of the game. When she finally realised that he only encouraged her in a way to gain advantage of her and to help manipulate her, she remembers that he's the one that's after Harry, the manipulated Ginny..etc. She's in a very tricky situation, because on one hand she can learn ALOT from him but on the other what is that gonna cost her afterwards! I'm really enjoying your story :D, I had like 8 chapters to read or something like that so I was delighted :) I can't wait to see what happens next!
Oh! and another thing, I love how you stuck with the typical Draco caracter. He wants to be independant but he's not looking at the big picture..the fact that Voldemort is sending him on a suicide mission...he's only looking at the glory and power he would be getting if he is victorious. I liked the scene where Bella, Narcissa and Draco are speaking together, Narcissa is like the angel on his right shoulder and Bella is the devil on his left. Fabulous :) it just gives some more depth to the story!!
Anyways I'm really really really enjoying your story! Keep it up! :D
Cheers!
