And so the plot thickens! I think Hermione gave into too easily as well.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review.  I have done three drabbles in one chapter--it's in the queue at the moment--and that should hopefully sort out any loose ends and set up the board nicely.  Thank you for reading this drabble :)

i had missed the second installment, so i just read two and three and now i'm full of questions, which i expect will be answered as the story goes along. like, who ARE these people(?) anyway? especially the wheezing creepy one. very strange, but also strangely compelling.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the rating.  I'll divulge more as the Dictionary Challenge words come out, so there should be roughly one chapter per week.  It's difficult to put much in when the chapter has to be less than a thousand words and at least seven of them have to be there... lol.  I will drop clues as I go because I'm cruel like that :D

That was odd, and really fascinating. 

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the rating.  Hopefully, things will become less odd as things move on :)

Thank you for the review.  See what Saturday's words bring :)

OMGosh, Who is it that wants Severus to Suffer?? I love this story, well done, can't wait for more!! Hurry! LOL!!!!

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the stars.  LOL... aside from every former student of Snape's?  Next set of words on Saturday, so as soon as I get them, I shall scramble to get out another chapter.  Hope you continue to enjoy :D

MollysSister

Oh no there is evil afoot plotting to keep a good man down! To the rescue Hermione!

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

lol... I suppose that there was the risk of that scenario when I started this story... Hermione rushing to the rescue!  Hopefully I may dazzle with the intrigue enough to hide the predictability of the plot :D.  Thanks for the review :)

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

Its okay that Hermione comes into rescue him. We need more of this reverse type of fairy tale. Hermione can save her own self thankyouverymuch. Severus could use some cossetting!!

MollysSister

To be free of the venom, he had to forgive himselfNo easy job then for a man weighted down with obligation and remorse!

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review.  Indeed.  In fact, good point... how on earth am I going to get him back?  lol

Lovely and haunting. Going to be back for more, guaranteed.

I am so happy to see the update, you have a very interesting plot going on and I look forward to read more. Especially to find out who the two characters plotting against Hermione and Severus; I am guessing that one of them, the older with lacking teaths, are Filch, the Caretaker. But, who is the one "in charge"? Most likely someone who didn't come out of the war smelling of roses? If you stick to canon, it wön't be any of the Malfoys, they came of easily enough, but who? I look forward to the next update!

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the rating :).

very good, who are the mysterious plotters?

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review.  You've met of them already :D 

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

I missed out the word 'one' :D  useless writer that I am... lol

I'm so glad there's another chapter. It's very good and I love it.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the rating :) I thought that I'd give it a go and carry on... and I'm so very happy that you like it thus far.

You decided to continue!  And with a solid plot no less!  I don't think I've read a story involving Hermione healing Snape from Nagini's bite which included someone trying to work against her.  This should be intriguing.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the encouraging compliment :)  I seem to have thought of some kind of plot, but that may shift over time; I am finding that the words provided by the dictionary challenge sort of... flavour the way the chapter comes out.  I can't wait until Saturday!  Thank you again :)

I'm so glad that you decided to continue this! I can't wait to see where that last conversation will lead us in the story...

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you :D I am thrilled that you enjoyed this.  Neither can I... lol, but I will have to wait until the weekend for the next set of words before even I have a solid idea! :D

*shivers* Lots of intrigue here!  Way to go, incorporating all those words so well.

pookah

Good use of some tough words!  An interesting, dark chapter.  Good for you!  Well done.and a mysterious conversatton.  We have someone with few teeth, who has a wheezy employer (possibly non-human?), someone who doesn't like to hear Hermione insulted, but is willing to help mysterious boss keep Snape in a coma.   Well, you got me puzzled.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Hello Pookah :) Thank you!I had to think carefully about that little chat (not easily done at two am... lol!), because I had so few words left to convey such a lot.  I'll attempt to put more in the next chapters... my aim is to give you clues and hints and let you have fun trying to work it out without just coming across as downright confusing... *fingers crossed that I'm doing okay so far*.

snitchette

I'm very touched by this. Can I hope for a sequel?

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review :) I have the next list of dictionary words and will continue with this... once some inspiration decides to stop by :)

StormySkize

This was very touching. Very well-written, and you worked in the required words seamlessly.

Great job.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review.  I struggled over two words, wondering if I had understood them correctly, so your review was most welcome... thank you :)

10/10

MoreThanSirius

This is an excellent response to a dictionary challenge. I was totally unaware it was a challenge until I read the list of words at the end. You incorporated them beautifully. This is an intriguing tale and was sad to see you intended it as a oneshot. The concept of healing through forgiveness would be quite interesting to follow. I do hope you will consider continuing this piece or perhaps writing a companion piece from Snape's point of view.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the compliment.  A few other readers have commented as such, and I think that I am going to use the dictionary challenge to further this story.

clever use of the words without making the story seem too "stodgy"

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the compliment.

Good chapter - heart wrenching. This could be more that an one-shot - it is was terrific writing and has a lot of potential.

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the encouragement.  My arm is being significantly twisted... lol.

Wahoo and Wesleyanne

I'd like to encourage you to continue this touching tale.  I see in an earlier review, it was discussed whether these stories could become chaptered stories.  YES!  Beaweasley2 and I have continuing dictionary stories,  hers inspired mine.    My chapter four is in queue now, and five in beta.  It's interesting, although the word list  I have now for chapter six is tough to go on.  but give it a try!I'd be happy to discuss plot twists and cannon stuff with you if you want to kick some ideas around.  Wahoo

Response from sweetflag (Author of For Him)

Thank you for the review and the encouragement.  I am giving it some serious thought.  Kicking ideas around sounds like fun and would be most useful; also, I really need to improve my grammar and punctuation.  Yeah... could be fun!  Familiarising myself with new words, that adrenaline rush of the challenge and learning new and more sophisticated writing techniques; what am I waiting for? lol.  Shall I pester you at Potter place? lol 

Response from Wahoo and Wesleyanne (Reviewer)

Please feel free!   I  just sent you my e-mail address so you can pester me at Potter Place or via e-mail.
