Chapters 1-24: I started reading your story and just kept on reading and reading

Very good, suspenseful and erotic story. I can taste the tension. Things keep building and building like Ravel's Bolero. I feel you've treated the characters realisticly too; no one seems out of character to me. Very nice work.

This was a great fic. I think your and awesome writer. And it

I really like this story alot. Can you please write some more chapters?

I've loved this story since the first chapter, not the least because Hermione's first time with Severus was so much more realistic than 99% of the fics written.

I'm a little perplexed at the abrupt ending, though. Even with a possible sequel, it seems a strange point to bring it to an end. I hope you do follow through with it. Thanks for writing.

Ah, wow, kind of a sudden ending, but I can see why it has finished where it has. This was a wonderful (very hot) chapter - that line about Hermione being in the sexual thrall of a man who was both more powerful and more vulnerable than her was spot on; well put. I think Snape is right about Hermione being used to/needing control all the time, and having a touch of superiority complex about her. (In my mind, this is why SS/HG generally doesn't work for me, among other considerations).

I enjoyed this so much. I wonder if you'd consider a sequel?

To answer your question about pop, I've heard the Brits call it Fizzy drinks. Hope that helps! Love the way you write Severus!

Uh oh, Ron's back to stir things up...I did like his smile disappearing 'like a flame in a draft'. Nice image.

We don't say soda, but there isn't really a generic term for carbonated drinks here - if you're talking to a child you might say 'fizzy pop' or 'fizz' but usually we just use the proprietary names.

You can 'break off' a relationship, or 'break it off'. You can also 'finish with' a person, or 'dump' them.

So are we going to see a jealous Snape? *rubs hands*

Sorry I've not reviewed in a while. No excuses.....just Christmas, New Year etc. Your story is going from strength to strength and the plot is developing nicely. Again I reiterate, it is a very intelligent read and easily holds one's attention. Well done. I agree with Sheherazade's definitions of "soda" and "breaking off a relationship". The "dumping" one being particularly explicit. Of course, we Brits have different terms for different things depending on which part of the UK we live in. I like Severus stories where his "North of England" dry wit and humour are brought to the fore. This of course has nothing to do with the fact that I live in the North of England. North-east Lancashire to be precise. And married one too. NOT!!!!!!!!! Hell, although I live in the countryside, I can see a mill chimney out of my front window. They are scrubbing these mills up now into yuppy flats or posh offices. So the Weasel is coming back into the mix. Good idea. But he can't take the place of Sev, can he? Anyway time to brave the wind and the rain (it's like bloody Wuthering Heights up here) and take the dog out. Happy New Year. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.
