Wow! He is respecting her! That's notso small a step for him.

I'm really enjoying this story.  Poor Severus, on probation working as an errand boy in the Ministry, his talents wasted - but at least it lets him notice her.  This is different from anything I've read, and quite intriguing.

This is the first time I've read this...what a great story.  I will add this to my "Favorite Story" so I will know when it is updated. 

oh yes, the mercury is rising, indeed!  terrfic update!  thanks so much

LOL mutual preoccupation with hands - and other body parts. That was funy.

Oh, lovely, simply lovely.

Well, THAT'S an interesting clock! Lol. How did you come up with that?

Poor Severus.. Just can't seem to catch a break. Hope he invests in some bruise paste!

Lol, I'm not sure how old this is without checking again, but I love the party about the nifflers, since having seen them in FBAWTFT, we know how mischievous they are! 

wonderful update.  thanks so much

Heehee. This is delightful! Great choice, feigning sleep.

Oh my, this story is going well.  I'm fascinated.  And I too love the drabble format.  Thanks.

Aren't they cute?!

This is wonderful. I like this mature, realistic Hermione very much, she has a wonderful sense of humor. Severus is clearly off-balance and it will do him good:)

You've another hit story, I can't wait for more:)

She's so considerate towards him. It must feel nice for him to feel cared for.

Lovely :o). I love it when they dance around each other in such a way... *grin*

Very nice!  So where is the rest of it, yes?  (And do we get any yummy smut, too?)

I am impressed that Severus was able to listen without commenting. I am glad he kept his pithy comments to himself. How is the ofic coming?
