Dear Lord. I just finished chapter 19, in which Yorick refuses to deliver a letter and Snape swears he hears Yorick hiss coward at him. Yorick is not a wizard, is he?
I read the first few chapters a while ago, before Snape and Hermione met. It was a delight to find this story again. The mystery is very juicy. I'm all for Dumbledore cursing Snape to make sure Snape always feels guilty and continues to act of behalf of the Order of the Phoenix.
I'm going to assume that Hermione finds out about Lily through Harry's sorted out dreams and that Snape finds out about Hermione's snooping and gets very, very angry.

btw, I love Snape's mental editing process. Or the way you portray it, anyhow.

I really like that Snape was confused at the Bonnie and Clyde reference, and Hermione's use of "had me going". I also do like that Snape and Hermione both react emotionally at first, and sometimes try to stop from acting until they calm down and start thinking of other evidence. I like the portrayal of Harry. The Dumbledore in the portrait in Minerva's office felt a bit off, but I don't know why. I did like how Severus escaped the mind trap, and how he dealt with being in the trap in the first place. I can't figure out what the trigger phrase was; it wasn't obvious. Since Dumbledore's gone, I guess we'll never figure it out.

I totally, TOTALLY get what you mean by the lack of reviews. People love to say that we should write for ourselves, but that's just bullshit. You wouldn't post it online if it was just for you, and what doesn't make sense is that there are thousands of reads at a time, and only a couple reviews in exchange! I really isn't fair. I ALWAYS review and I don't understand why people can't just type something simple just to give some feedback. Besides, it is rarely the regular reviewers who complain about authors who ask for reviews. It's those lazy people. *sigh*... as you can see, this rant has been waiting for a long time.

Concerning this story, I just love how much anticipation you build! I am so in love with your Snape!

His interaction with Yorick can be quite whimsical--a preview of what truly relaxed Severus would be like around everyone else? I like that he checked all the Shakespeare plays for Bonnie and Clyde and that he's finally figured out that he bites his tongue and doesn't ask for clarification entirely too often. I hope Hermione comes to her senses and doesn't enter into a physical relationship with Severus again until he can de-potion himself. Hermione can't be the center of his world if that spot is already taken.

Glad to see you're updating again. Sorry to hear that real life has thrown a wrench or two into the works; good luck, good health and speedy healing for all involved. As for the story, yay for Severus's return to his flappy black robes! Heh. That part made me smile. Thanks for continuing to write despite everything.

Oh! great chapter. I was so waiting for the next chapter. I hope Severus and Herms get to find the solution to the lust potion. Hope a new chapter is up soon! Really enjoying the romantic action.

This is a beautiful story! I read it straight through from chapter 1-27 without stopping. I loved the slow build-up of Hermione and Severus' relationship. It's very real and you kept the characters wonderfully in-character. Great work and I can't wait to read more. Please update asap as this is my FAVORITE HG/SS story. Thanks so much for sharing it!!

This is a very good story. But it is a long story with many chapters. If you give each chapter a title not just chapter #, it will be much easier for me to know where to start from last time.

Glad to see this story being updated. Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Thoughts and prayers are with you.
Please continue with the intriguing story
