Holy shite and shinola! I was NOT expecting that ending! What in hell are you playing at? So now Hermione Ron and Harry are still stuck there with Snape's cover blown? I am going to be very very interested to see how you get them out of this one (at least, you'd better get them out of it, but at what further cost? ) OH man!!!! Oh man!!! UGH I hate waiting to see what will happen!

Jesus Christ Superstar and Pope on a Rope. What an angsty, awful, wonderful, fucked up and sooooooo possibly true to life chapter. THIS is what happens to people that get captured by death eaters!!! And Snape has been one of them for so long Harry has enraged him past the point of no return. Gods, more! *hiding my eyes but peeking*

My fave so far! Thanks for sharing it.

Well hurry up and write that chapter! Man, oh man, that was intense. You're crazy if you don't think you do a good job with dialogue. You've got Snape's voice down perfectly and his is the hardest of the lot. His thoughts were right on target. You really got to the crux of who Snape was and how his dilemma defined him. I love the image of him stuck between his two masters, Voldemort and Dumbledore. And of course, Harry being the physical embodiment of that which he loved and hated the most. Damn, and this scene is why having the trio captured together is so damn effective. All the Death Eaters have to do is threaten to hurt Hermione and Harry will fold, no matter what he's asked to do.

Gah, indeed! Heartbreaking. But I loved how fierce Harry fought and it's exciting to see his bursts of magic that keep popping through when he's most angry. I think this bodes well for their future. I can hardly wait for the next chapter, really.

Bellatrix is so EVIL!!!!!! I had a bad feeling about that Ginny dream as soon as it started getting hot and heavy! Poor, poor Harry. But that's what I love about these two---he hates her sooooooo much and having her taunt him in such a way just makes the angst go off the bloody charts. When is this child going to get a reprieve? And still....Voldemort hasn't even made it to the building. Dark times lay ahead, for sure.

I wish this had been a bit longer, but I appreciate the speedy updates. I think Harry definitely needs some down time with his friends or else he's going to be comatose soon. There has to be a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Oh, and thanks for the notice and allaying my fears to rest. I'm not a fan of Stockholm Syndrome rapefics, either, so it's good to know you're keeping things realistic. I'm curious about Draco's actions, now, wondering if he'll come through for them or not. In my pre-conceived plot bunny, he's a bit horrified by the Dark Lord's reign.

Just for you, Greycie, I am going to post my Harry/Bella/Rodolphus non-con story on this site. Eagerly looking forward to your next chapter.

OMG, thank goodness Draco took down the silencing spells!! I almost feel bad for the ferret. And just like Hermione, I'm so worried for Harry!

You managed to get Ron's 'voice' and musings SPOT ON. Even the easy joke about him dreaming of food takes on such tragic connotations in a setting like this. And I could easily imagine him feeling so much dread for Hermione after seeing what they've done to his best friend, and that a part of him would feel relief over the attention being diverted from her to Harry, even while hating himself for it. It's just human nature, after all. We all know that Harry would rather take the abuse than see his friends suffer, anyway, since he always takes on all blame for everything that goes wrong for them. Arghh! They're so heartbreaking!!

At least smarty-pants Hermione can work on an escape plan while she's got the opportunity to discuss their situation with Ron. I do hope that they can talk to Harry soon, as well. He's going to need some of their strength to get through his ordeal. So. Much. Angst. Damn, this is good stuff.

Oh, and in the last chapter---Harry's smell 'reeks', not wreaks.

Keep it up with the quickie updates!

Hmm, I'm wondering what the DE's are planning. Are they really going to take their sweet time informing Voldemort?

I do hope that Harry, Hermione, and Ron get to communicate with each other very soon. It's hard having them so close and not able to comfort each other. I'm a bit worried about what's in store for Hermione.

I can buy Draco showing up and his complicated feelings around Potter. There's obviously no true malice there and the kid is in over his head. But his appearance makes me somewhat hesitant---if you are planning on having Harry and Draco fall in love, or fool around, or whatever, please let me know now so I can stop reading, thanks. Like your premise for the story...but can't stand H/D.

Wow, this story is great. I absolutely love Harry's chacterazation. I've read too many fics that make him into a weak guy. This Harry reminds me of the defiant cannon Harry. That headbutt was amazing!! I'm wondering what the pairing will be if any. ( I'm hoping that its not H/D, but if so it won't stop me from reading this amazing fic!!!!)
