*cackle* black eye and Snape ogling... wonderful picture!:o)

*snigger* That's kewl! :o)

how lovely!  thanks so much

LOL!!

*giggle* this is a nice little story indeed - thank you!

I'd have loved to see his face right then!

How did I miss this chapter, and the others you've uploaded?  I'm glad you decided to continue it. 

Aww, that was sweet.  Can't wait for more.

I'd love to see a Severus blushing with a soft nightshirt for pillow

You will continue this, won't you?!

Crossing of legs .... now why do I get flashbacks from Basic Instinct? ;-)

Hee, hee, hee! 

Don't you just love it when one's id comes out to play--without permission--all it takes is an absentminded but friendly kiss and the fragrance of pearly gray roses!

Please make him stay for breakfast!

So smooth.

Ha! Hermione doesn't like being woken up!

I'll be making Hermione some throw pillows directly. Honestly!!

What a giveaway!

Hope the emergency does not take too long...

Aha , the old leg crossing trick!

mmm thanks. Better than a cup of hot cocoa on this dark and stormy night...I really enjoy your story in drabble form. Just a few little sips to keep up the tingling and interest without overwhelming me with all the caffiene, let alone getting my tongue burnt. 

lovely!  i liked that she thought better of her grumpiness, and that it caught him by surprise.  and the last sentence.  :)

You are telling this wonderful story the same way Severus Snape brews potions, with grace and economy of motion.  It is so well written that I don't even notice that it is told in short drabbles; every chapter is satisfyingly complete and yet leaves me wanting to know more.

I thought it was brilliant the way Hermione checked herself before she could begin to ask him questions and went on with telling him how her life had unfolded after the war.  She knew him well enough to know that he would guard her own history as judiciously as he would his own. 

I'm glad that he now knows how much time she spent by his bedside as he was recovering from his wounds.  I'm glad that he knows how much respect and gratitude she holds for him.  I'm glad he was able to tell her the truth about why his behavior was so off-putting, and I'm glad that he knows she thinks he is special... because I think he thinks she is incredibly special in her own right.

This chapter marked a huge tuning point in both their lives.  It was very moving, and I'm so glad to see you back.  Thank you.

Poor Hermione.  So much sadness, yet so unnoticed. :)

Ahh.  Communication.  Always helps! :)

Interesting revelations and explanations in this chapter.  Thanks for the update!

I would never have guessed that. Does that means she just added a new chapter?
And thank you so much for the update. I really love this story.
