oh, er, More Soon, PLEASE???

Dang!  Ron needs a swift kick! (sorry, you know me, not a Ronald Weasley fan).  Draco needs some nice girl, he's always gotten the short end of the stick. Maybe Lavender.  She's too nice to be stuck with dumbarse (a.k.a. Ron). 

Poor Hermione! What an overwhelming situation to be in.  Hope Harry and Remus come and rescue Ronniekins and take that burden off Severus' hands.

Ah, interesting bit of Snape's past, and I very much like how it entwines with the scene with Hermione.  And I really cracked up over Harry trying Legilimency and being surprised that it worked!

It seems Minerva and Harry believe that Snape has developed an attachment to Hermione. Although after Minerva's recitation of Snape and Lily's story, they meet and are intimate then he gives her up, it does not sound like Snape and Hermione would have a future. After Snape reads Hermione's thoughts and finds that she does care for him and desires him, I guess he feels that history would repeat itself as Hermione supposedly has a boyfriend. That says a lot about Snape's strength of character, to be able to resist the temptation of a much younger willing woman who desires you and you want in return. For a man who became a Death Eater, he becomes a paragon of virtue when he is able to make his own decisions. I hope Ron is not able to find them. The guy is a total loose cannon.

Wiow! I really like that Snape and Hermione could admit that there was something between them, even if he won't let them explore it.

OMG keeping writng !!!! That idiot Ron is going to get himself done in for sure...OOOOoh this too much!!! I love it !!! A beautiful idea to have the Malfoys at the Weasley's house too funny!!!

I'm very curious as to the map that Lavender conjured for Ron. Does she know something of where the DE are keeping Hermione? Or is this a previous part of the story I've forgotten, since Ron knew to confront LB..... 

omg - Malfoys for trade! Er, I mean, Malfoy's are traitors, yeah, that's what I meant to write.

o....m....g  i totally love you and this story. and im gonna go crazy untill the next chapter is up. lol amazing work love. if you ever decide to write a book i can saftely say it would make you a millionare because we all would have to buy it because we know what an absolutely brilliant writer you are and you never fail to wrote a great story.

YAY!  A lovely, new chapter!  Where did that Ron take off to? And, wooozers... Teh Hawt! With Severus rising out of the bath all wet and hard.  Had to fan myself, I did.  As always with one of your stories, I look forward to reading more!

Well things are getting tense and heating up.  SS has gone noble....damn him.

Good chapter, Southern!  Eagerly awaiting the next!

Short or not, I'm just happy for the update! Hurry up with the next please!

Oh this is getting really intense and exciting.  I am enjoying this story immensely and can’t wait for the next installment.  In this chapter I like the way you present Harry and his growing maturity; it is refreshing.  Thanks for sharing, JoAnne

Gryffindors and their deplorable secret-keeping abilities. Hmph! You wouldn't catch any of the other houses being so clumsy at this age.

Sooooooooo glad you posted another chapter.  Totally worth the wait.

AH! more please! i love this story so much!!! hermione really needs to forget about ron though...

Hermione's heart is finally moving properly in the right direction. ;-)

I wonder what Ron has planned. Something not too bright, I assume, considering it's Ron (and an angry, frustrated Ron at that), but probably something that could cause plenty of trouble anyway. 

Looking forward to what's coming next. And I hope Ron isn't planning on trading Draco, or another Malfoy - although, I think that would put Hermione off him forever

Yea! An update! 

I love this fic!    Snape's getting subborn, and Hermione's closer, but still hasn't made up her mind.  It might come to her seeing Ron (possibly even dueling) Severus to make her truelly make up her mind between the two.    And then she'll have to convince Severus... 

I wonder who Ron is planning on trading for Hermione. 

I'm glad Harry's opinion of Snape has changed.    Looking forward to the conversations with Lupin and Arthur, and to seeing more of our couple.  I wonder if/when Rabastan will switch sides, and how that'll effect everyone... 

Looking forward to the next! 

Oh, my.  Ron is such an idiot.  And poor Sev. 

OMG.

You're SUCH a tease.

 Awww... almost got some lemons! Can't wait to read the next part!

I love this story so much. When I got the email saying you'd updated, I audibly squealed... my husband from the next room asked what I was squealing about, so I told him.Thanks for living up to my expectations.

Very enjoyable, I can't wait to see more.  I know what is't like to be busy with stories, plot bunnies attack! lol I have my first chapter of a new story with my beta now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that.  Good luck on your exchange, I'm sure you will do well.  See you next chapter.

Actually, I QUITE liked Narcissa getting a piece of Snape's action. :P
