WOW!

Just found this story and read through all the chapters at once.  I've become addicted to it.  More please!

I think the mystery person is Malfoy Snr and he wants the blonde ferret out of Azkaban.....................oh well, guess I shall have to wait and see. 

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thanks

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

! I'm glad you like the story so far. You have a good theory, but, yes, you'll have to wait and see =) More soon!

This story is fantastic - cannot wait for the next chapter.  It is top notch.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Oh, wow! Thank you ever so much for your compliments! More soon . . .

Good chapter! I'm quite intrigued by the mystery attacker. It's good to see the affection between Severus and Hermione, although obviously it's going to take some time - especially for him - to really open up to her, let alone going public with the relationship, until he's completely certain of her intentions being serious, I assume.

It was also good to see Ron back as a non-prat. I don't think he'd make a good partner for Hermione, but he'd be good to have as a friend.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thank you for such a wonderful review!
Yes, Severus is still being cautious even though he's agreed to the relationship. He'll definitely need to be working through that.
I'm glad you like that Ron was no longer angry with Hermione. I've never thought they were really a perfect match . . .
Thanks again for commenting!

Great chapter, I'msurprised Ron came to the rescue as opposed to Severus.  Keep us on our toes!

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thank you! I appreciate your review =)

I hope that interlude with Ron is real. 

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

We'll see! Keep reading! Another chapter should be along soon enough. Thanks for your review!

I see Severus is still protecting his heart by not going public, but he is affectionate with Hermione. I've no clue who attacked Hermione. I'll have to have a think on that. It was rather convenient that Ron was there to save her. I feel immediately suspicious, but maybe it was just fortuitous.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Well, I'm glad that it is not obvious who it is. I was hoping for a little suspense at least =) Since you are having suspicions, I'll leave you to them, whatever they are . . .
Thank you ever so much for the review!

Hmm, I wonder who this mysterious person is.  Obviously, it's someone that probably wants to break someone else out of Azkaban, why else would he go through all the trouble to try to garnish information from Hermione. Good thing she didn't know anything. I have the feeling Severus is going to want to teach her Occulmency after this.  I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thanks for reviewing! I'd say Severus is definitely going to want to do something about this . . . Thanks again, and I'll update soon this time around!

So Potter comes crawling back and she blithely accepts him. Pity you're keeping Hermione in character as a doormat.

bit too soon for hermione to want eternal bliss with snape, innit?

No surprise that Harry and Ginny take Won Won's side. I like that Hermione realizes how Harry lives in a selfish little world that must suit him regardless of how it suits others.

Hurry, hurry, hurry with the next chapter please

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

I am working on it! Thanks for reviewing!

I'm guessing they both saw the same thing?  This is a fascinating story. 

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thanks, I am glad you like it! More to come soon!

I love this. It's really well written. :)

And super idea with the mirror being left where it was.

Hope to see more of it soon.  

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Thank you! I am working on the next chapter. I hope you continue to enjoy the story!

It's a good thing that Severus and Hermione both like to solve puzzles because this will be a big one. Falling in love is the most illogical process in the world and being secure in yourself and trusting your emotions aren't exactly their strong suits. I'm looking forward to seeing how they'll figure it out. This story is as good as a slice of chocolate cheesecake. It's rich, smooth, sweet, satisfying and one can never have enough.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

You are so delightful. You understand exactly what it would be like for Severus and Hermione to figure out that they belong together. Thanks for the review. Can I ask you a question? What do the Oscar and the Xena in your name refer to? I wonder if they are the same as what comes to my mind when I see those names . . .

Response from oscarxena (Reviewer)

I hate to admit it but it's my dog's name. When we got the puppy my daughter thought it lookes like an Oscar...he turned out to be a she and a rerun of Xena the Warrior Princess was on TV and Oscarxena became her name...dumb but true!

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

That's cute! LOL I had one out of two. I thought of Xena Warrior Princess. She rocks! We named a cat after her many years ago. Oscar . . . I was thinking of my favorite literary artist, Oscar Wilde. A quote or two of his may find their way into this story. I just can't resist his allure . . .

Response from oscarxena (Reviewer)

You're actually right on both! Oscar Wilde is another one of my favorites and we had decided that our next pet was going to be either Oscar (Wilde), Andy (Warhol) or Ephron (Nora). We already have a Tolstoy and Stoly (hey...vodka is important too).

Hmmm, I wonder what Severus saw.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

You will be able to surmise what it was in the next chapter, and a bit later it will become pretty clear. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

The Mirror of Erised is such a great plot device.  I hope it does indeed help to bring them together.  Great update, eagerly anticipating more!

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Yes, I was very happy that it worked out so well to be able to use the Mirror. The Azkaban security plan will be an important part of the story. I've tried to imagine how Azkaban could be secured without Dementors. HBP never really says . . . So I invented a way using the fires from Book 1. I made up their characteristics so do not think they are canon! Thanks for the review, and I am glad you are enjoying the story!

Meanie!  What a cliffie!  What did he see!!!????Can't wait to find out.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Sorry! That chapter was my longest one so far. I needed to break it off. The next chapter will pick up right where this one left off =)

Rockin', sugar! I loved it, I hope you right more soon!

Thanks! Chapter 4 is with my beta and should be coming along soon =)

Poor Hermione. Better a breakup now than an knock-down brawl later, though. Too bad everyone is taking "poor Ron's" side in this.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Yeah, it is too bad. Thankfully, even young adults are able to come to their senses eventually =) Thanks for the review!

You make potion making a titillating experience for the reader.  I am enjoying the story.

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Glad to hear it =) More is on the way!

That was not a good time to break up with Ron, but you would think the others would be a bit more considerate.  I can't believe Harry sent her a Howler. 

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Heh. I am suddenly reminded of (puppet pal) Harry beating his head against the wall: "Angst! Angst! Angst!"
Thanks for the review =)

Very good chapter, you made the brewing appear sexy.

Wow!  You've added another dimension to my 'inner Severus' with this wonderful, passionate, sensual description of the Potions master at work.  Really well-done.  And the contrast of the younger ones to him is just so strong...

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

Heh! I just love Severus, don't you? Thanks for reading and reviewing!

I just love it when Hermione and SEverus put their brilliant minds together, very well done! As for Ron, Ginny and Harry, they are immature brats who deserves if Hermione forgets she ever knew them. Yes, Ron had the rigth to be hurt, but not more, noone can decide what another person should feel and even if it hurt him he should be old enough to realise that there is no relationship if one of the parties involved wants to leave. Ginny and Harry, no matter how close they feel they are, should have kept their big mouths and oppinions for them self. Who died and made them Gods to decide what Hermione should feel or do?

Response from SeverusLovesUs (Author of Desire and Deception)

LOL I wonder what they will do if they ever find out about a possible relationship with Snape. That ought to be interesting. Thanks for the review!
