wowzer!!
That was one intense chapter, with a lot going on! Firstly, yay I'm so glad Hermione finally had that release, of all that pent up grief and emotion she hasn't allowed herself to feel. Hopefully this will allow her to finally move on from the war, and become her own person again.
Secondly, wow that was a lot of emotional Snape we don't usually get to see. Small things are so significant in regards to this Snape and his character. For example, the fact that he was ignoring Hermione in potions, shows how much the previous encounter actually effected him, instead of just addressing her with his usual approach, dark and brooding.
As the reader, I also appreciated the insight into the return of Snape to Hogwarts, postwar. I think this gave one a bit more insight into, what in Hermione's opinion, occurred around his return.
Finally the ending, yes Hermione got the release she needed, both sexually and emotionally, but I couldn't stop myself from mentally high-5ing her for her outburst. Part of me hopes she goes a bit Maggie Gllynhall in 'the secretary' and just hangs out on Snapes chair until he returns. I also hope you make it so that he was just lurking in the shadows and heard her outburst, and then fled.
Very much looking forward to the next chapter!!
OMG MORE PLEASE!!!! We need to see it from Severus' point please, to know how she is affecting him.
Ok, I normally never review anything, but holy crap your Snape is so intense...
It is amazing really please continue
PLEASE . KEEP . WRITING !
This story is coming along quite nicely. The tension between the two is efficaciously potent, in a way that it seems to be rendering them from the inside out. That kind of duality is delicious and dangerous. I look forward to the next installment. -BM
well it’s winter here and I’m slowly freezing up so don’t count on it! - I'm not picky about the season as long as I have new chapters to read ;) Freezing? Really? How low temperatures go during winter at your part of the world?

I have to say, I love this chaptr, it is hot and meaningfull :)
The opportunity to finally tell him exactly what she thought of his actions had been all too liberating/She’d thought him impenetrable, untouchable. Apparently not - or it was opportunity to lash out, like little kid throwing a tantrum when it's angry and doesn't really knows why ;)
She suddenly found herself missing him, and not simply to put him on his arse again . . . strange. - she is missing familiarity, even a bad thing are welcomed as long as they are familiar. Hermione doesn't handle change well :D
What could he do to her when he was angry? What was he capable of? - oh, but is he angry? He's hurt, but angry...not so sure.
Her friends had assured her that they didn’t care about them but she would never let them go—she couldn’t. - denial is so great, deanial is her best friend as it seems
she dressed in her nightie, her lust-and-alcohol addled brain considering it the best attire for apologising in - apologizing or getting what she's going for?
The fingers of one hand balanced a wine glass; draped from the other was what looked like a long cigarette, a thread of smoke meandering upwards and dissipating in a bluish haze above his head. - uhhhhhh, be still my heart! I. Want. Him!
I just love the bit where he suck the wine from her clothes rather than skin, it so intimate and detached at the same time.
“Now suck me,” he ordered. “Make me believe you.” - fck! It is already insanely hot hre as it is, now you are adding fuel too
You’ve never been with a woman before - is he putting ideas in her head? not that I'm complaining :D
“How many points?” - is she inane???? :O
“None,” he responded, threading the firm ridge back and forth over her electrified bundle. “This will be your apology.” - can I apologize in her place? :D But now I'm wondering, what is the true apology, what they are doing or the fact that she did seek him out. She came to look for him, more than to apologize, she needs him - not the points, not even the book or want as much as she couldn't bare the idea of not having...that...with him. I think that he's just giving her a bit of hard time, in retaliation for hurting him.
“Hard.” - uhhhhhhhhhhh
“I accept,” he whispered, his lips brushing her cheek. “I accept your apology.” - bloody hell!
looking at her with such naked concern that it choked her anew - I was right, wasn't I? He is just fluffy teddy <3
She was clearly not the only one who didn’t know what they wanted. - I'd say that he knows what he wants, but one he never expect to get it, and two I don't think he expected to fail so profoundly. He wanted to help her, to heal her maybe not in the best way, more the only way he knew how. what he didn't expect is for her to actually connect. He gave her plenty of reasons to hate him in the same measure as she should come for more of whatever he was offering. I don't think he even imagined that she could do what she did. which does say a lot about him, about how he still see himself. And how she would end up if he doesn't help her.
From behind her came the explosive sound of shattering glass. - poor broken Snape :'(
Can't wait for the next chapter, to see what's going to happen next.
Love&Kisses&Hugs xx
Such a great chapter, well worth the wait for sure! I love the conclusion and I'm so glad Hermione had the balls to kiss him in the end. Your Snape puts up such a facade of being disconnected from the whole situation, it was such a refreshing turn. Not to mention the change of scenery into his own personal quarters, not just his office.
They are both so confused about what is actually transpiring between them, on an emotional level. I also loved that real reverlation that Snape makes, in regards to her whole idea of who Hermione is anymore. Breaking apart how she previously invisioned herself, unbeknownst to her, therefore allowing her to construct a new sense of self, really as an adult.
Awaiting your next chapter!!
BLOODY HELL.
