What, no Ringo? Richard Starkey is going to feel so slighted!It's unlikely that there is any Prince family extant, or that they have two Sickles to rub together, but it's a nice gesture towards the Master.

Absolutely awesome!!!! Keep those chappies coming! :-) I look forward to reading more!

 Can't think of anything creative to say so I'll settle for the old "Good job" and "keep'em coming". 

Well, quite a bit is fit into this chapter -- interesting new characters and setting, arcane magical lore (I was wondering when that Nexus would factor in), oh yes, and some incredible sex. I guess it's disconcerting when a PWP develops a mind of its own but I'm glad this one did, for my own selfish reasons!

I don't know which one of them has the worse temper, but the fireworks are fun to watch.

Brilliant chapter.  Excellent plot direction, so good to find out more about Snape.  Loved Hermiones little jealous moments.

Can't wait for more. 

Superb chapter. You have deftly changed direction and added a hefty slice of plot without sacrificing the steamy nature of the piece.*applauds wildly*

Wow.  Another powerhouse chapter.  I'm glad the Morgen/boys argument wasn't settled in anyone's favor, just for Hermione's sake.  Blasted men and their wick dipping! LOL.

Excellent, excellent chapter.  I am looking forward to the next.  Kudos also to your betas for getting such a long chapter out so quickly.

A great update, I do so love your story!!!

Oh, another chapter! And they are falling in love - sad as both of them so often feel. Thank you for bringing them both alive.

awwww a Christmas gift for Severus.  I think Hermione is getting feelings above and beyound the curse.

Hermione really does hate him sometimes, but then again, love and hate are a really close thing.

Yet again, another well written chapter, full of emotion and made me feel all fluffy inside. 

This was so wonderfully, dare I say it?, romantic! I know theirs is not a relationship built on romance, but wow, this chapter was!

I'm not very good with words so I just going to say it plainly. Great chapter, well written.

wonderful!

More please. :)

Wow, Severus just had to jump to the worst possible conclusion!  Though ... since apparently the mistletoe was up that tree, and they ended up kissing under it (among other things), looks like they might end up experiencing some added effects!  I smiled sappily when Hermione explained what she really wanted it for.  Excellent!  I love how you've shown the shifts in their emotions and attitudes here.

I really like how your Hermione has every bit of her spirit and sass even though she's a total freaky nympho where Snape is concerned *hee*.  She stands her ground and always gives as good as the cranky git gets. 

ah cliffhanger!

Ah, that's so sweet...my kind of Christmas story!

From the first, this has been beautiful.  The emotion linked with sex linked with angst -- just pure perfection.  I can't even imagine how it will end, or how sad I will be when it does!

Wonderful! You have an unique gift for emotion. I can't say exactly how you do it, but you always manage to melt my heart (and that's not easy, believe me).The details are nice too - Hermione cutting down on clothes in order to buy more books - that must have resonated with Snape.Both of them are moving beyond the compulsion, but while Hermione is already conscious of it, Snape is just wondering dimly that he could perform more than the Potency Potion theoretically allowed him.

Awww...that's really sweet of Hermione.  Even if she does actually hate him—and it appears to not just be gratitude that he helped her.

Great chapter! This story just keeps getting more interesting and I can't get enough of it :D I'm really looking foward to the next update!Thanks,ickles.

The longing and intensity are beautiful and angsty at the same time. I miss having that kind of passion in my life - so I'm content to find it in this fantastic piece of writing! I'm looking forward to more :-)
