Reviews for A Terrible Temptation

    I love this story. You've nailed each character, and the writing is flawless. I don't think I've ever seen such careful attention paid to the development of Snape's and Hermione's emotions since F&R. My only advice for you would be to give Ginny just a little more screen time. Her perspective looks like it's going to be important in the plot, but I don't really *feel* her motivation the way I do the other characters'. Of course, given the quality of every single other aspect of the story, I'm certain you've already thought of that. ;) Thanks again for a great read.

    Love it, love it, love it!! I feel another dream coming, at least I would be dreaming again if I was Hermione, with all that emotion she's feeling. It's so frustrating that she hasn't figured it out yet, I know she can't until he's back in his own body, which does make for a more interesting story. I can see so many possible ways for the story to continue, I can't wait to see what you do. Keep up the good work!!

    I'd hate to be in Ron's shoes. *grins* To know that Hermione actually likes his snarky Potions Master, to be caught in the middle of a Misunderstanding, to be friends with the parties involved and know that parties' feelings are mutal - lotflol!

    I really look forward to updates of this story. The tension between Hermione and Severus is really well-drawn. Thanks for your frequent updates!

    This is still one of my favorite WIPs out there, and the frequent updates certainly don't hurt, either. I check for this story first every day, and you never disappoint.

    I'm not sure if I reviewed this before, but since you were kind enough the not only read, but take the time to review my work I had to make sure to return the favor !

    I have been reading this from the onset and have been jumping on every update like a Starvin' Marvin on a cracker.



    Love the insightful Ron, the not completely with it Hermione and pooveruverus having to go through the teenage years again. Oy ! Once was too much !!

    Love it, love it, love it.......... can't wait for more.

    I'm back again... ok, this chapter was good and a surprise. I was w in in my guess about Silver Fur being Dumbledore, but I was close. I really like how u portrayed Ron... he's more understanding than most authors make him. You also made him more... inquisitive i guess u could say. Most people would underestimate him... one more chapter to read and them I'm done for ur updates!!! Love it and don't stop!!!

    Haven't reviewed before, but I've been enjoying each chapter as you update. Your A/N (re: guessing) prompted this--so when will Hermione figure out that she's been reading potions articles to Hedwig? :) Go Ron for being sensitive about Severus' revelation as well as obtusely in-character (as teenaged boy) about Hermione's. Also, I know that Albus' reservations about the indefinitely unresolved tension owe in part to the challenge terms, and it's great not to see him twinkling all over everything--but isn't Minerva a little blase, then? She barely reacts to Crookshanks' news in Ch. 17. (No doubt you have her thoughts in hand already, one way or another, given her cryptic comment to Hermione in Ch. 18.)

    Okay... I think I've figured some things out... Somehow, they all switch, Snape is obviously in Harry's body, but Harry is in Hedwigs, one of the reason's she's sick, and Hedwig is in Snapes body, which is why he is unconcious. For some reason, a birds personality does something weird when it's in a human body, causing it into a coma-like state... at least that's what I've peiced together.... other than that i think this is reallod!!od!! I bet the person Crooks is talking to is Dumbledore!!! But I just love this story!!!! Please keep up the good work... now it's onto the next chappie!!

    Oh well, I guess it would be asking too much to expect Ron to jump onto the Snape-Granger ship with the rest of us. His support of the potions master in the last chapter was touching, but obviously he'd really rather see Hermione with the real Harry. Maybe he suggested Snape write an anonymous letter because he figured Hermione would be revolted too once she realized the truth?

    Still, he could do Snape a favor and tell him that everything Hermione likes about "Harry" isn't Harry after all. (Though it wouldn't be hard for Snape to figure that out himself. Handy thing, Legilimency.)

    Snape's discomfort with playing against Slytherin -- and playing to win -- is in character because we know he cares about his house ... but then he must be used to this feeling of being a traitor. If it's really true that the vast majority of Voldemort followers are Snakes (though I'm hoping Rowling has something more interesting than that up her sleeve), he's spent nearly half his life trying to beat Slytherins.

    That might explain the grumpiness. ;-)

    This story is aptly named. The temptation to print out each new chapter - and read it almost immediately - gets the best of me every day. Unfortunately I'm usually at work when I read about an update and I'm forced to smuggle the print out off the sales floor and hide from management until I've caught up with the story. I feel for Severus and Hermione. I'm torn between wanting Hermione to show "Harry" just how much she likes him and for Severus to hold off until he's back in his own body. The deliciously wicked tension is killing me. Please, keep it up.

    GREAT chap here! The HG tension is mounting. Reminds me of Losse's "Suffering" over in the LOTR section of this site. What's going to happen next?!? I need to stop guessing and just wait, I guess! Thanks for updating so quickly! It's wonderful!

    Yeah, I like Harry a lot more this way, too! He was kind of hysterical in Order of the Phoenix. It serves him right to have a more Snape-ish attitude. :)
    The response to this story is well deserved. It's just awsome.
    I wouldn't mind some more dreams, though. Hermione sure needs to get her kicks somehow.
