Now Hermione understands how hard it is for him having Harry around, will it change her perception of him?

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

It's more of another shift in her perception of Snape ;o) Thank you so much for leaving a review, sunny :o)

I have just come across this story and have to congratulate on your truly lovely writing and characterisation; well done.  This is really good. I've gradually been working my way through it and am really glad you decided to expand on what should have been a 'one-shot'.  I come across so few writers worthy of high praise but you are most definitely one and I really look forward to the next update of this delightful story now :-) 

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

Aaww. Thank you so much. I am very, very glad you think it was the right decision to expand the one-shot as it was a tough decision to make. And thank you so much for your lovely review. I am sorry about being so late to repsond but I was truly lost in writing the new chapter :o)) Sel.

I am so glad you decided to continue this story. I've enjoyed reading it. Poor Hermione, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Well done, I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

Thank you :o) And you are completely right, Hermione's little piece of knowledge is a most dangerous thing...Thanks for reviewing :o) Sel.

So he now knows that it was Hermione that was taking care of him. All assumptions of her not wanting to or mocking him are gone and that she really cares. What will he now do with this new found evidence. I cannot wait to read.

Ooooo, I really like how he came to realize that it was Hermione and NOT Lily... I'm excited to see more!

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

*smile* I am glad you like the way he came to realize the truth. I hope you liked the remaining chapters as well. Thanks for reviewing. Sel.

Wow. I never thought of the curse having side affects like that. And to see him there sleeping at the table--tha'ts kinda sexy... but why he was there wan't... but still...

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

Well, I thought of some believable after effects that could lead to madness in the end if they are too strong and last too long and hallucination appeared to be a good pre-stage to madness... Thanks for reviewing. Sel.

A lovely story thus far! The emotions of Severus and Hermione seem to just spill across the page. Well done! :)

Thank you. I am glad the emotions I tried to convey with my writing reached you and thanks for letting me know. Sel.

This story is amazing, and I hope you post more soon! I love how Severus is torn between his dream-Lily and very-real-Hermione. Great job!

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

Oh, thank you :o)  Yes, Severus is torn in some way between his dream of the past and the reality of the present, although this reality contains nothing more right now than a compassionate, determined girl who irritates him beyond measure... Thanks for reviewing. Sel.

what a terrific chapter. so they each have their need to know. watching as severus watched that scene in the pensieve brought tears to my eyes, much as the original story undoubtedly did. and the scene between him and lucius was brilliant, giving a glimpse into poor severus's bitterness and self-loathing. i loved this: "Always, when he had thought he had reached the final stage of hell, another trap door opened beneath him. And right now he was falling again." that seems like an apt metaphor for his life. sad.

Response from selinabln (Author of On the Edge of the Night)

Oh, thank you for this review. It really made my heart swell :o)) Yes, they are both driven by their own need to know right now and this chapter finally set the board in some way... Thank you for letting me know your thoughts. Sel.
