I'm glad you liked that. :)
I love it. He forgot?! What the?! That's so awesome. That happens to me all the time. I mean who hasn't had that happen to them. You forget the simplest thing and it takes forever to remember. That was BRILLIANT.
Oh man, "come and clock centric" , that's awesome.
A tunnel of pornography starring Hermione that's fantastic.
But you naughty, naughty woman. How could you leave me with a cliffy? Argh. I am so intrigued by what that release phrase might be. I bet it's going to be great. I don't know what I a looking forward for most, their conversation about what she saw or the release phrase? Either way it's going to be epic!!! I can't wait!!!

Well, that is a very private place to be. I think it's horrible to think that he was looking at her when she was teenager however I think that it makes it a bit more believable than to think that magically all the feelings just appeared when she came back as a professor. I tend to think that with her as a professor he would able to be attracted to her intellect as well as her body...still NOT COOL to think he was looking (and fantasizing?) about her when she was a child. Anyway, awesome chapter and I can't wait for the next update so PLEASE don't make me wait too long.

Hi there, thanks, I like to be helpful (and if possible nor the Lady-Catherine-de-Bourgh-kind) and thanks for answering so many of my questions :)
Also I wonder, what exactly she found now. Knowing you that will be another surprise. I thought the release phrase would be something related to either love or forgiveness - considering his state of mind at the time, but as that is a logical thought, I'm certain, Snape would have tried that already. So I am left to wait for your take on it.
Also, was he somehow obliviatet/did obliviate himself of the knowledge? - unlikely, if she could find it via Legilimency. What would be left are protective mechanisms of the mind to avert/lessen trauma and such. Because she's right - Snape is not one to naturally forget something like a password without means of regaining it.
I really liked the whole discussion and Hermione's "no touching until this one's solved" attitude was amusing. Nothing like sex as a motivator to accomplish your goals...
On to the thing that puzzled me in this chapter: the timeline. I must clarify beforehand, that I do like math, rather a lot. As such, I usually try to get things to add up. Assuming you are going with canon at least when it comes to birthdates and major events, Snape was born in 1960, graduated from Hogwarts in 1978, Hermione, like Harry, born in 1980, Voldemort defeated for the first time in 1981, and the second time in 1998 and from then on it gets confusing. She either redid her 7th year or just got her NEWTs for by default at the ent of the war - that would make her graduate from Hogwarts in 1998 or 1999. Next comes Teacher's College, which according to your story lasted for 3 years at least (if she learned Legilimency in her final years, there must have been at least one first year). I think, the usual amount of time would be 5 years, but let us assume 3 years after 1998. That takes us to 2001, likely later, that the story takes place. Her first year of actual teaching.
Snape, on the other hand says, he wrote the book at 28 (1988) which was 12 years ago, bringing us to 2000 as the year the story takes place. Well and that leaves me with at least one year of confusion...Nevermind though, that just came to mind today, when reading the new chapter.
So now, that I have burdend you with all that nonsense (this is a fanfiction of another fictional story, after all), hopefully I've given you a little laugh for the day.
Until the next chapter :)

Poor Severus! I had no no idea he would end up that mortified. I know Hermione has a right to be squicked out that he was watching her all that time, even if I am sure most of the earlier years were not sexual, I still hope she isn't too hard on him. I think he is kicking himself enough for both of them right now. He needs a hug. :-( I also am a tad worried about what this word will be, since it upset her so much. EEK! Thanks again, hon! HG4eva

Great chapter. I like the blending of serious and sarcastic.
furphies—I had to look this up. And then add it to my word notebook.
"Her inner monologue was throwing up a fruit salad of furphies..."—I loved this even more once I knew what furphies meant.
"The words were delivered in splinters through her gritted teeth."—Splinters. That's great.
"...something more to present than ham-handed silence on a wilted bed of awkwardness."—I love how you created imagery for something that isn't physical.
"He was in ‘Granger danger’ again..."—This just amused me. Rhyming makes me happy. (Which is probably why I'm always so excited to see what chapter name you came up with.)
"Adam’s apple jousting away the jabbing vinewood, he poured out a sigh that seemed to have been dredged up from the soles of his feet."—I like this whole sentence, but I love the jousting.
"...on the verge of skewering his windpipe..."— Again, you picked the perfect word.
"He raised an accusing eyebrow and Hermione only just stopped herself from impaling it with her wand."—This made me laugh. I'm not violent by nature, but there are those moments when anger ignites your imagination.
"...like some comedy cunt that instantly inflated upon his touch."—Hahahaha! This is great. I can't stop picturing him unsuspectingly pulling her ripcord and her inflatable pussy knocking him out with its sudden expansion.
"Perhaps a clean and jerk onto his shoulders? Or maybe ‘the snatch’ would be more appropriate."—Hahahahaha! Sounds like the move that would send me to the chiropractor for a month.
"...moving pornographic shrine..."—Great description.
I loved the entire mind search scene. It's a little bit dirty, and a little bit vulnerable. A little bit funny and a little bit serious. I can't wait to see what happens.
Just as a side note, my fantasies are also cock centric. I could spend an entire day getting off in Snape's head.

He did WHAT?!
You, my dear, are amazing. This must have been the best twist I've come across in ... ever! I am really looking forward as to how he is going to explain that to 'Mione (and us). She will probably try to wrestle the words from him that will free them, but he probably won't know them or cannot say them for whatever reason.
And I just love that you mixed our beloved AR into the story. Mesmer really is one of the movies where he could show off his voice. Actually, as sad as it is, his death reminded me that I started reading fanfiction at age 15 *ahem* and just kinda stopped after I had found my own Snape (snarky, bad tempered but with a heart of gold and a humor that has me in tears). I am so happy that I got back and get to read your story.
And of course my favourite part is still the classroom-whisper-hot-stuff-into-my-ear scene. STEAMY, my dear. This might help me through the time till your next update.
