Great story! I thought you took the various cliches and combined them very well- I think this is the first story where I've actually seen Snape carve the Mark off of his arm; I've seen a couple stories mention it, but implied that it went deeper than just the skin, was linked to his magic and impossible to remove. I'm happy to see that he actually was able to in your story though.

I have read this story mamy times. It's one of my favorites and lives on my Kindle.

Thank you.

love this story, it was refreshing

You are simply incredible! This fic is one of the best I've ever read, and definitely the best Snape/Hermione. Thanks for actually taking the time to write this- and for not writing smut. The whole thing was just amazing- I couldn't put it down! Thank you again for this wonderful piece of art.

I loved this.
It's so well written, an amazing story to read.

What a sweet story and happy ending for our heroes! Thank you for your hard work on this!

Truly love this story :)

I don't know how I never read this before, but I'm so happy I did!

Just enjoyed this story all over again! I have to review at chapter 9 because I already reviewed at the very end... Your courtroom scene was particularly effective. And kudos on the Cold Comfort Farm tribute! If you can work a new little dishmop into a future fic, I will be even more pleased.

Awww, this is gonna suck for them

You tell em Hermione! hehehe!

Lol! Definitely giggle worthy there at the end! But a very clever way of getting out of cleaning of course, lol!

Aww, he doesn't want her to leave!

I really liked this first chapter! Definitely intrigues me and makes me want to read more, let's see how much more punishment Snape can met out and just how much more she can take...
