Loved this chapter :) I don't think either of them could handle going back to just twice a week like in the start :/

Uhoh... If she had asked me, I could have told her not to mix medication with alcohol! Give me some Paracetamol and a beer... Who needs illegal drugs when mixing up legal ones leads to such effects? No, I am kidding, I usually don't do that - it was a non-intentional self test when I had a terrible head ache but it was one of my friends 25th birthday. Couldn't miss that, could I? (Aspirin makes me high even without alcohol - and that from someone who takes methylphenidate on a regular base {Uhm... Yes, ADD at its best...})
Severus is soooo concerned! Love that! And that she has been taking the stuff since her fifth year... Kind of makes sense. I can picture her as depressive always feeling inadequate, it would definitely fit her perfectionist personality! I bet it's her first hangover EVER.
Charlie! There seems to have been more than you hinted in one of the first chapters! I always thought it wasn't more than a flirt, a fling... Hum. I just reread the passage about the two of them... I guess I remebered it to be less. Interesting. I wonder if there will be further complications involving Charlie? You're hinting him, and not for the first time. I guess there has to be a reason?
Hope Hermione gets better, soon.

Really, really, really strong. My vocabulary before I had small children as my primary job and companions was so much more impressive. I trust you are not in need of liquid sunshine to feel proud of your accomplishments on this story and of your writing skills in general.
The Higgens Boat Factory. That's what the place was. Higgens Boats, how could I forget? And before I forget another gem, if you haven't already made arrangements for NOLA, try going the week before Mardi Gras weekend. I was going back in my early 20s, and I didn't mind paying $2 for the city-provided Port-O-Lay (porta-potty for the Yankees) because a large local and his big friends had set up a "fee"....but all that nonsense plus no place to sit in bars and no nice places to eat would really drag on me these days, 15 years later. Not to mention fighting for beads and whatnot. Go the weekend before and get your pick of the place, seriously.
Cheers!

"They were English, for God's sake!" Oh gods, that's TOO funny! Glad to see Sev has some serious leverage here, for her sake. No one else is going to be able to make this stick, and she needs someone to tell her what's what. I love this.

The anon above is me, still having problems with the website taking me back to the consent page, even after I've logged in. Can anybody tell me why? It's very irritating when I'm trying to review.

This chapter left me wallowing in "if onlys". If only he could let down his guard and express himself better. If only she could let down her guard and let herself express half her thoughts. If only one of them would slip and let their true thoughts flow. If only he had reacted differently when they woke up. If only she didn't over think every darn thing. If only...
Oh well. I look forward to seeing what you have planned for the next chapter. I can think of loads of things I have wanted since chapter 2. lol Thank you.

I do like this story, but I wanted to suggest something regarding your treatment of mental illness. The commonly accepted way of referring to the condition formerly known as "Manic-Depression" is now "Bipolar Disorder." It's both more accurate and less stigmatized. Fun Fact: In some circles, what might be known as Major Depression is called "Unipolar Depression."
Your treatment of Hermione's symptoms of depression was relatively thorough, though I am skeptical of her "recovery," especially since it seems to be a consequence of the circumstances. The data indicate that, although Major Depression can be acute, very long-term active periods such as Hermione describes are more likely to be part of a recurring depressive cycle
