Oh, not to worry. I don't see this as so much of a cliffie... it's more like a, "Ha! Take that Severus." Lol. He deserves to sweat this one out.

I look forward to your next update. Until then, happy writing. 

Great chapter!  My heart breaks for Hermione, but I think with Viktor in the picture, maybe Snape will admit his feelings???  Can't wait to see what happens.

Ugh! Can't wait to read more. Since Hermione is imprinted on Severus, I guess I'm not all that worried about it - generally speaking - but now, like throughout this fic, I have been worried for Sev and wondering if Hermione will stay at his side when her curse is finally lifted. I can't believe he has taken to wanking to avoid finishing off with her LOL or that he simply gets up and goes into the bathroom where she absolutely knows what he's up to. Glad you're back to this story again. I've been anxiously awaiting your return :)

I was so happy to see an update, but with that chapter ending I wish I held out for more chapters! I really can't wait to see Severus and Krum vying for Hermione. John was an interesting foil earlier but I think Krum will be even more so because of his history with Hermione. She deserves all the attention Krum will bestow her while Severus needs to dig a bit deeper to win her.

Hooray hooray hooray, Thank you thank you thank you!  I was having an awful day until this alert got to my in box! Great, as usual, I hope the next one is up soon!

Yay! I'm so glad you've updated this wonderful fic. My Monday mornings just were not the same without another chapter to read. Will you be back to the regular updating schedule with this story? Your others are fabulous as well, so whatever you may chose to write, I know I will take pleasure in reading it. Thanks again :)ickles.

Ohhh interesting so Severus is withdrawing from her...hummmmm now how long will that last. As he said he is only human.Krum's back ugh.....Im sorry I'm not a fan of his.......I don't know what it is about him. Thanks for the update hope you have a good new year.Savine x

yay!  i'm so glad you're back to this story.  it was quite an exercise in patience, after having been spoiled by all your regular updating previously.  isn't it interesting that last night i reread chapter 12, thinking that maybe you'd post more soon.  and then this morning, here it is!now for this chapter:  i should have known that no good could come after the sweet and even sentimental note on which you had left things.  of course severus had to pull back and confuse poor hermione.  and now you've thrown krum into the mix.can't wait to see where you take things next!

Yeah!! It's back.  Please keep up your excellent work.

oooo, the return of Mr Krum.  I have so been looking forward to the continuation of this story, and I'm sure you'll continue to delight :D

Amazing! Very interesting twist.

Thank you for not leaving us hanging! That was unbearable! I lobed the chap, btw.

Just re-read the whole thing... again. Love, love, love, and this chapter is perfection. I'll keep re-reading til we get a new chapter! :-)

WOW this is a truely beautiful story of angst which I hope will have a happy ever after for both Hermione nad Snape.As always you have written a storming story and I look forwarded to the conclusion. Hope your other work went well.Savine

Wow... wow and wow... this story is just heartbreaking!... and he calls her petal!!!... awww!!! ^^I have re-read the story like 3 times... and I´m almost finishing your other fics... XD... so you just made me your fan =)luck with your other fic... and best wishes in everything!!...

Very nice story! :)

It just keeps getting better and better...

Lovely

I will wait with bated breath for the next installment of this wonderful tale.  Until then, I will, read and re-read it!and of course, read your other stories, haha!thanks for writing this, and take your time, it's definitely worth the wait.marti

Oh, noooo!  Please don't leave me hanging, or else I'll be reduced to writing a fanfic of your fanfic!  Witness:"You dressed for him like that, didn't you," Harry said with finality.  "You love him, and he loves you, doesn't he."

How will we cope without updates? Somehow we'll manage, of course you have to finish things properly, lets hope the time goes quickly and you're back here before we know it!Godd luck!

Oh my god!  You can't be that cruel to us.*is bitting nails to the quick waiting for the next chapter*

Finishing a story properly is the only kind of ending we would expect of you. This story is so fragile that anything rushed might ruin it. It is too great a masterpiece to render it disappointing over such a drivel as time shortage. I can vouch only for myself, but that I do with all my questionable authority of a reader - I will wait.

I love this story.... I have to say that one of your stories was one of the first Hermione/Snape fics I ever read and now I'm addicted.  I especially love this story and can't wait until you come back to finish it.  Keep up the amazing work!

Who cares if I have to wait?   I know that the wait will only enhance future pleasure that I always find in your fics.  Good luck with the exchange.
