So much in depth infoion ion with Snape. Hermione only brings up reminders of his past, right? He\'s not going to start liking her, is he? If he does, I could see it happening.
Where\'s Draco? I can\'t wait for him to go back to Hogswart. She is gonna make his life MISERABLE. Since he misses her so much, I wonder if he will want her more after he sees her again. Please update very soon:)

Wow!
I just discovered your amazing story . . . and I must say, I absolutely LOVE what you have done with the classic D/Hr plotline. It\'s been used so much that by now reading a D/Hr story (even though ip Dip D/Hr, among others) just gets old usually. But you have done a wonderful job of making it real and keeping it interesting, what with developments like Hermione\'s parents\' death and Harry\'s magehood popping up. Keep that up, it\'ll keep the story going. :) What I like most is how real your characters are; cookie-cutters they ain\'t. ow yow you probably got criticism for Hermione\'s behavior after her parents\' death, but I say kudos to you for making her go through all of that. The violent manner of their death, and her sense of betrayal and loss of security, makes her subsequent actions completely understandable. I\'m glad, though, that the poor girl\'s finally getting back tvingving like a human being! One thing I would suggest: besides recovering from the shock and playing tricks on Draco, Hermione\'s really done nothing in response to her parents\' death. It seems to me that she\'d be the kind of person who would take some radical course of action to either get revenge or closure . . . maybe trying to construct some grand plan for Voldemort\'s demise, or confronting Draco directly, or simply training herself in DADA more. I mean, look at what she did after finding out Hogwarts had house-elves: she started a frickin\' society! Also, right now I know she\'s feeling a lot of anger about Draco and his betrayal, but soon it might make sense to move her more towards sadness, disdain, or regret; Hermione\'s a logical person in general, and would probably figure out that her and Draco\'s back-and-forth pranks are a waste of her time, and in the end a pretty trivial means of expressing the depths of her anger. You might have a plan for this sort of reaction; in which case, far be it from me to influence your deviatirom rom what you intend, since I\'ve loved your writing thus far. Well, thanks so much for the story and please keep writing!

Yay, new chapter! Love the Hermione/Snape interaction. And I knew that he was Robespierre! No doubt that you problably expected everyone to have guessed that from the start, but I\'m still very proud of the fact that I guessed correctly.

I cndernderstand Hermione wanting revenge, but I do hope she won\'t end up really slicing off Draco\'s ears in a fit of rage. More Draco/Hermione interaction soon?

I\'m happy I stayed up half an hour later than I should have done :) It meant that I got to read the next chapter!

As usual, it rocked :) Keep up the great writing... I can\'t wait for Chapter 22!

This has to be one of my favorite stories, I\'ve read at adult fan fic.net. Very riveting, and captivating! Way to go! Can\'t wait to see more of this, and where you\'re taking the Professor Snape and Hermione angle! (Also wonder what kind of consequences that Draco\'s going to have to pay for his betrayl of Hermione,too!) Keep up the good work!
Please hurry with more!
Thanks!
