Oh, Harry. This chapter made me sad.
It was very well written but I have a feeling the bond isn't completely gone.
It'll be interesting to see what will happen.
Excellent chapter.

I'm still in 'Oh, Harry' mode. It sucks that the bond is turning on him and that Snape's being an arse when Harry was the only one to do something to help them all at sacrifice to himself.
I do hope that things start looking up for them soon and that they find a way to come to agreement even if they can't break the bond.

Oh oh. I do hope Harry gets the help he needs, especially since the bond has gotten worse.
I'm glad Malfoy was able to man up and pull up his big boy pants and take responsibility. Even if his apology broke Harry. It was really the first thing Snape and he should have done instead of blaming Harry.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Excellent chapter.

I'm really glad they solved part of the problem. This chapter I found myself thinking 'Oh, Draco' rather than about Harry. It's nice to see that Severus is growing up a little bit too and that they all confronted their feelings in some way during the chapter.

I really enjoy the counteracting between the three bondmates: Harry's stubborn, just plain Gryffindor-ness, Draco trying to negotiate between the two, and Snape's churlishness - now seen vented in masterful dueling fashion. Well done!

Ah, Hermione isn't often limited by what she initially sees. Usually she digs deeper and discovers all that she can about the disadvantages and benefits of a thing. The fact that she hasn't done that with this bond is a little disappointing. I'm hoping that she'll expand her horizons and see just what could be accomplished with the bond were it to allowed to develop. You, yourself, mentioned the sharing of power. The linking of minds, and the ability to travel quickly and accurately. Those are rather obvious advantages. Of course, that would mean that these disparate personalities would have to work together, and that seems unlikely.
Though...you've certainly set up a situation where it might but Severus and Draco coming to the rescue now. LOL And I think that qualifies as marvelously drastic.
Thanks for another chapter. I enjoyed reading it, and seeing some miniscule progress made. That was very nice, indeed.

Great, thanks.

Not Notte!

This isn't going to go well for anyone, is it?

Ch. 12

Oh shit. I had a feeling that Harry was being a bit too reckless with his spying. And now the plot thickens.

Boy, oh boy, if these three ever get together to really talk and not rip at each other like rabid dogs, they might find they actually agree on something and then the world might end! LOL Draco's about the only one showing any common sense...so you know that the world might just be ending already, for me to have said something like that. Both Severus and Harry are acting very much like each other and are to alike to be of any use, and until something terribly drastic happens that smacks them all back into reality, I fear we're just going to see an endless repeat of what we've already seen.
I like to say that common sense isn't...and that has certainly been proven true here. Harry accuses Snape of carrying on a grudge while he does the exact same thing. Severus resents being controlled yet again...and Draco's clear intelligence comes from a self-concern so powerful he'd do anything to make sure that he was safe. All in all it looks like SNAFU all over again!
Thanks for another chapter in which I wanted to slap them all silly. Including Hermione, which usually doesn't happen. For a smart witch she's missing out on the true advantage of this bond, something that she doesn't normally do.
