Ugh, what a fantastic one shot! Severus in situations as a spy always fascinate me, and this was excellently written. Great job with the drama, tears, and scene. Thanks for sharing. A favorite

An amzing piece of emotional work! Great job!

i love this story, i love it i love it i love it! so amazing it was just so cool!

This is really an extraordinary piece of writing! We all know that there is a price to the information the Order got from Snape's work as a spy, but you really bring that to life with such poignancy and depth of emotion - it was a very moving scene. And you make it clear that while Harry's story was interesting, Snape's story has the potential to be so much more. You also managed to have each character stay true to their personalities in the books. I really enjoyed this, and hope you choose to write more! Thanks for sharing your story.

Great story. You write really well, it's a pleasure to read.

This was even better on a second read.

best lines:

There was something frighteningly organised about their movements, their actions. Every small gesture and movement had a purpose, everything was synchronised with each other. This was a well-rehearsed dance, done on more than one occasion already.

It was Snape’s weak voice that echoed in their memories. The witches and wizards found themselves terrified by the implications of those words. If Snape had gone through something like this before...? That was plain impossible! What sane person would go back to Voldemort if there was a chance they could be tortured like this?

Severus Snape was a fighter and a stubborn Slytherin – he never gave up! So where was that man? This man was accepting death without fear – instead, he was doing so with ease and gratitude.

“Traitor! Coward! What do you think you are doing, Severus? Running away, right? What about all the people you’ve killed? What about the ones you’ve tortured?”

The entire Order stood frozen, staring at the young woman in disbelief. How could she say things like that to a man who was on the brink of death!

He didn’t want the Order to see him like this. They couldn’t know what he went through at the gatherings. They couldn’t see him vulnerable! Never! He wouldn’t let them see his weaknesses. They didn’t need more ammunition against him and that’s all they’d use the information for – to torment him in ways by far more cruel than they’d ever known to try before…

“Hermione, what Severus does for the Order is very important, it…”

“You won’t even allow him the chance to denounce Voldemort openly! This so called Order of yours doesn’t give a damn about him or what he does! They don’t even trust him! He is shunned by this side and forced to endure torture by the other!”

“What about the Order?” She asked suddenly. “Severus didn’t want them to know.” She looked at Albus earnestly. Her voice was quiet, she didn’t want anyone to hear her, but Remus, Harry and Ron had been standing too close. The others were farther away looking positively stricken as well as guilty and awkward.

awesome one shot. it flowed very nicely. i think it would be better if you expanded the ending. kinda abrupt end and i was personally hoping to see the order's reactions to what they saw and what they would ask dumbledore. very nice for a possible story if you have some time

Some elements of aftermath would have been good. Fantastic idea for a oneshot and well executed.

Excellent story! Very well written and I enjoyed reading it! Thanks.

Loved it! A great twist.

I liked it. Bravo!

Have a cookie!

Nice little fc you wrote. Full of the finest H/C I love that:-)

Overall the story was written well. The only error I found was the word 'trashed' which should actually be 'thrashed'.

This was really good, You had me weeping for most of the time... I really think that hermione and Snape is meant for one and other.. If it werent for that Rowling person... just kidding, love her... and love your story... cant you please do a sequel to this or follow it up somehow... maybe when mione nurses him to healt... with some ouches of guilty order members talking and feeling bad.. they so deserve it... please.!... LOVE this story

Oh please don't just make this a oneshot. I'd really like to see moments with Severus and Hermione when Poppy gets him back to health. It doesn't even half to be a long chapter! Just something that shows them together. I'm a sucker for fluff. :)
