He devised the enchantment for himself? What the ever-loving fuck? Well, now I'm chomping at the bit for the next chapter just so I can find out what the hell's going on. (And now I can't stop saying devised to myself. That's going in the word notebook.)

The sex was wonderfully hot this chapter. Bravo.

Favs--

choking into her napkin probably hadn’t adequately conveyed the true depth of her feeling.--*Snort*

Snape’s grumpy old Slytherin sausage?”--Sausage snort.

damp breaths scudding across her skin as the fine rasp of his chin grazed deliciously into the hollow of her collar bone.--I love this whole description but I love scudding the most.

throat-shredding scream--Yeeeees! Excellent adjective.

"Yes . . . it was quite a severe . . . punishment.”--Bahahahaha!

My God you love a cliffhanger!! 

Pleeeease feed us addicts more as soon as you can!! 

Bloody hell!!!!! 

I love how you refer to your story as ‘the smut’ - hehe, you called it that way, I just play along ;) - besides, calling it "my venture in to the unknown" is a bit pretentious ;)

remind me not to get on the wrong side of you! - that would be quite a feat, do not harm ppl I love and you're safe ;)

careful you don’t break your chair again! - if I say I was holding my laptop on my lap and lounging on the couch reading, you and your wicked brain will get the wrong idea - so I won't say that :P

I’m afraid there may be more twists to come.  - I expect nothing less from you

Hahah, Sevirus :) - yes, please :D

You made Parvati sounding so good, that I'm almost sorry we won't see bit of a G on G action with them XD (oh, you wicked, wicked woman - you are dragging me to the dark side - I do hope you have cookies!)

Tearing off layer after layer, he descended upon her - huhhhhhhh, starting hot, and from then on just rising the heat....ok this is official statement - I want your Sev in MY bed (my birthday is in april - wrap him up with a bow ;) )

Or was he simply in the process of writing it . . . right . . . now. - I love it <3

“Whenever we fucking feel like it,” - be still my heart

Her conversation with Harry is so funny and sweet , isn't she enjoying her "bad side" bit too much? That only proves my firm belief - if you hang out around Slytherin's for too long - you start to think like them :D

“I devised the enchantment . . . for myself.” - bloody, fucking, hell!!! 

Ok, now you're done it - I don't care, I'm sending you that insane creature of mine - I want next chapter not soon but for yesterday! I just need to know!!! 
I LOVE this story and you're killing me with anticipation! xx

OOOOOOH...I like big butts and I cannot lie! Well I should get on with Sev exceptionally well. What an incredibly naughty and erotic chapter. I wouldn't have minded him being at the spa I was at  last week and him giving me a massage....utterly delightful. How can you make all these sexual interludes all new and exciting and non-repetitive? Kudos to you my little Manchester Tart. (Google that one and if Sev was anything like my hubby he would have loved 'em!). Good to see Parvati watching Hermione's back too though I suspect more from a fancying point of view rather than supporting a fellow Gryff one. Best wishes, Love Ali xxx.

I stumbled across this little gold mine just before Christmas and I could barely stop reading! Not only is your story compelling, but the character development is fantastic, not to mention the fact that the sex scenes are all extremely sexy! I cant wait for the next chapter!

I like Hermione's character development, starting from a place of obligation with resentment at the beginning to being empahatic with Severus down the road.

For chapter 23-24, I feel I am missing something: how did Hermione and Severus leave the revel unscathed, once it was discovered Hermione was on contraceptive potion, and hence Severus' loyalty (to Dark Lord) should be in doubt?

Don’t get one of those ones with the stupid cutlery tray at the top - thanks for the tip, tho we live in a small apartment and have no space to put it anywhere at this moment :(

I have enough trouble sticking to one consistent character type as it is ;) - yeah, especially because in the other story there is a change in character, and it goes from the Snape we know to something else. I think I'll finish the smut first, it is only few more chapters anyway, and then return to ss/oc one. I already feel like someone put my brain in a blender :S

with Death Eaters threatening to infiltrate - I was more referein to Albus and his willingness to sacrifice anyone and anything for the "greater good" (I know those kind of ppl are necessary to, but I just can't find enough in my heart to glorify them)

not sure if it was too harsh - I can't say for others but Dumbledore, Marauders (Remus is an exception) and Lily - just fire away. Nothing, and I meant it NOTHING is harsh enough for them in my book ;)

Nooooooo!! - all right, all right, I need her atm anyway ;)

The entire conversation at the dinner table is just...perfect, I honestly can't pick out one part, I love it all :D And ofc ... "desert" is just ... yummm ;)

Hermione choked. That was far more than she’d bargained for. - Ok, I'm reduced to a puddle on my chair  <3

Massage. - hmmmmmmmmmmm now that IS an idea....too bad she can give him only relax tho ;)

“I’m not sticking my dick between two mattresses.” / “I was going to say ‘nose’ actually,” she replied. - fantastic, mad me ROFLIN in most literal way (lucky my hun is on the work)

Pouring a little oil into her cupped hand - warmed oil on hands? really? What happened with a thin stream down the spine? Ok, ok, I know still relax massage... but girl can hope that in one of the chapters.... ;)

“Not as much as you do,” - you really know how to stick a knife in a guts and give it a good twist

“Ensure you’re back by this evening,” he stated matter-of-factly, flicking the buttons closed at his wrists. “For our . . . appointment.” - big, big, biiiigggg grin :D

Conversation between Hermione and Parvati is so sweet :), and I love how Parvati flirting with her, I love Hermione's reaction (or lack of it) to her flirting even more :)

“Well I might have to get myself some of that virus because, for want of a less nauseating word, you are . . . glowing.” - you and me, sister. Tho, I'd like her type of "virus", exactly the same brand if possible :D

Can't wait for their next "appointment" and to see how you gonna mash up our brains next. Waiting for the next chapter ;) xx

"I’m grateful that you didn’t delete my chapter until I’d managed to make them (like some other &%$##!)."--Hahahahaha! I almost said something of a very similar nature. I didn't want you to be on the naughty list.

This was such a sweet chapter (which I know means a fish slap approach-ith). The honesty between them was touching (as was the humor).

Favs and fixes

(beginning to feel like a Princess.--Un-capitalize this.)

Depreciate--Mmmmmm, word notebook.

(fond of you aren’t you?”--Comma before aren't.)

“This is the happiest I’ve been in my life.” Hermione choked. That was far more than she’d bargained for.--Yeeeeeees. Hilariously sweet.

Who said I’d be topless?” “I did,”--Hahahaha!

Gods! He had her on tap.--This was an excellent line. Loved it.

He inhaled deeply before releasing the words in a rush. “Let’s just get on with this shall we?”--Bahahahahaha! I love this whole tête-à-tête 

As she sat on his lower back he made an exaggerated grunting sound. “I’m not that heavy.”--*Snort*

She had a feeling it was going to be the longest, hardest and most exhausting appointment she’d ever kept.--*Double snort* 

I'm looking forward to their appointment as well. And I'm holding my breath for the next salmon smack. (En garde!)

I've lost count of how many times I've read the last chapter, so sweet...I loved childish Hermione haha

Loved the latest chapter! So glad to see them coming around to their feeling for each other. And how sweet of Severus to take care of Hermione when he wasnt able to play too

Yeeeeeeees! So good. Steamy sweetness, like a scalding cup of hot chocolate. Mmmmmmm. Perfect.

Favs and fixes:

(He glared at Dumbledore whose tired features--Comma after Dumbledore.) 

And she’d saved him . . . again. As she did every week.--Yes. Love this.

her final words had slain him--Unh! The feels. And the word slain made me love the sentence.

It was like having a demanding toddler on his chest. But he figured she’d earned herself the right to be as childish and grumpy as she liked. And it happened to make him smile.--This is too sweet. And hilarious.

It felt tenuous and potentially transient--Excellent.

And as she watched his sensuous lips fold around her clitoris--Holy fuck, yes!

(Withdrawing his fingers from her, he made to sit up before he could move, she grabbed him by the shoulders--You need a "but" before before.(Good lord, this is the most insane sounding fix.)

Severus sat up to regard her with dark, intense eyes. “Of course. You’re mine.”--And now I'm dead, flopping around on the floor like a flounder in all the feels.

Two chapters too good for words so I'll draw you a picture instead. No indeed not my little clootie dumpling I draw worse than I write. How clever of her to hide and administer the contraceptive potion. Very " Orange is the New Black". Hope Lucius is not out of action too long though I must admit he is a bit of a nasty bastard and it was interesting that Hermione noticed his good looks....yum yum...buy me one of them Mummy. I agree that Severus has an incerdibly sensual mouth....sort of what drew me to AR in the first place. Scenario...My sister......OMG.....have you seen Kevin Costner in RHPOT?

Me.......sod Kevin Costner. Who was the guy playing the sherrif?

and so started a (healthy?) obsession.

All I can say is that like the ambassador plying us with Ferrerro Rocher..you are really spoiling us.

Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.

LOL, join the club! - :( dunno should I be happy or not about us having THAT club. But as soon as I figure out where to put it, I'm buying the dish-washing machine. Dishes are specific form of torture, a never ending one >.<

Holy crap, I could never do that, my brain is messed up enough with one. - be smart and never do that, this is my third time (first, last and never again ;) ), there are differences in Sev's character in each story, and at this point I have bloody hard time not to mix them up. 

there will be a (brief) reprieve ;) - this chapter is sooo....sooo...heartwarming and at the same time heartbreaking, I honestly couldn't decide if I should sigh or cry.

warm and safe - funny, they are in Hogwarts, by definition a "safe" place. I just love how his perception of "safe" do not extend to the school grounds. And I like how well you actually captured the tripping stone between me and my potterhead friends. Your Sev and me - we have same perception of the school :D - I love it ;)

“Not everyone is fucking expendable,” - :'''( I know, but just ... *sniffle*

“She will recover in my chambers. Under my care.” - and then you just melt...protective and quite possessive actually, and ready snap off the heads to anyone who separate them

I still love how well you captured Minerva (one of my biggest struggles), she is sharp and has a sting, and she is not afraid to snap at Albus and at the same time protective and motherly - to both of them. I'm glad they have her blessing :)

and had resigned himself to never seeing her again. / On one occasion, however, he had succumbed. Against Poppy’s wishes, he’d left the infirmary to sit in one of the high towers and watch her - one of those moments when you don't know if you should be a puddle on the chair, melted like ice-cream on a hot day or you need a full pack of tissues

Him humming to her is just so tender, it is also nice portraying of his inner change, one that he might not be aware in full.

“I’m not sorry.” - I'm so loving this, one of those moments when someone just say something following his inner monolog and confuses everyone around with statement. 

I love how they switched from having obligatory (awful word) sex, to passion, and ended up with gentle exchange of feelings. inability to verbalise them (to say something like that openly in their situation is redundant). But, words are, anyway, least necessary and often least reliable way to convey a feeling. For better or worse, they in a manner of speaking scream at each other about their emotions.

“Of course. You’re mine.” - ok, just....just....meltdown, complete meltdown.

I do hope next chapter will be up soon, or I'm sending my insane creature to you ;) XX

Got damn Mione!

I love the way you've protraed Hermione it's brilliant and her character development is just amazing!

I love it keep updating chapters cuz your story is amazing! 

 I can't believe you got this out so fast. You're a freakin speed demon. I liked your multi-POV. I think maybe I liked Sev's best (which was my original inclination for voting, but I needed to know what was going on in the room, so I went with my nosier side). I'm totally impressed with Hermione's plan (and she WAS being sneaky on the bed!), and I loved how Lucius almost sniffed it out. 

But obviously my favorite bit was the last line. Holy fuck! If you could have seen me gasping and clapping as I read it, you would know, without a doubt, just how utterly insane I really am.

Are they really going to be allowed to go back to Hogwarts now? How the fuck are you going to wrap this up? Is Voldie going to die? No don't tell me! I was only thinking out loud.  I'll wait patiently for the the next chapter ;)
