OH I LOVE YOU! This is the best story ever!! My name is Severus! :D Where is the rest?? I must have more! Is there more? :foams at the brain: maevepotter@gmail.com ;) I do actually have an excellent eye for grammar ;)

MORE!  NOW!  Please!

Lovely!  I have bookmarked it and am waiting for the next chapter most anxiously!

Oh, Plutarch, how romantic.  :P

Loved it, very cool. 



Author's Response: Well, you know, it IS Snape! :P

This is just yummy.

Great story!

Heat up indeed! ~wipes brow~ Am loving this story! Oodles of UST, my very, very favorite!

"admiring the view" indeed! (me, too, at least in my mind)  i adore the way you are pacing (so to speak!) their relationship.  thanks so much

Wow, that´s so sweet and hot! I can´t wait to read more. I smiled several times during reading especially this chapter, because I can imagine that Snape would try to push Hermione a little bit.....and he did.....but only a little bit and that´s so good!Please write more!

Snape is simply mouth watering in this fic. I love how the relationship slowly progressed. Please update soon.

Hey Sunny,I'm enjoying this story very much.  It's unusual in many ways -- Snape *jogging*, stripping so unconcernedly, unorthodox development of a relationship (and that they are teacher and student is the least of it), and so on.  I must admit, when I read the first chapter, I was very skeptical about the set up, but no more. And that dramatic discrepancy between initial impression and the actual opinion is why I'm writing a review -- haven't done any of that lately for anyone because of RL demands (bad RedRoo! Lurking!)You handled the development of the relationship beautifully in this chapter.  I like that they are keeping their daytime relationship (such as it is) the same as it always was.  Lots of maturity on Herminone's part, and you tell us just enough about her post-war state to convey that she is beyond Hogwarts, so such maturity and interaction with a teacher does not seem as odd (and potentially PWPish) as it might. I love the description of an inexplicably calmer Severus, and the line about how he gave her power over him when he took her hand. I would love to read Severus' POV -- seems to me that stripping in that way was very brave -- unless you are imagining a more sexually confident Severus than I have gathered from the fic.  Although, sexual/relationship confidence and comfort in one's own body could be different.  Still, however, for a man not used to having any kind of relationships and who keeps himself so tightly guarded (and pverdressed!) it was quite anaction, especially if spontaneous. Makes me wonder if he hadn't already felt comfortable with Hermione in some way already.Thanks for sharing your story.RRPS, I too, enjoyed the pun about coming to the Quiddich pitch! *snerk*

Oh, man - now I'm hugely, massively, BURNINGLY jealous of Hermione! Yummy, yummy and yummy again. Very nice work on the atmosphere here; you set the stage very well and then topped that off by doing an excellent job with the players to boot. Thank you very much for posting this; I'm enjoying it greatly. Cat

really like this!  Thank you for your work and thanks for sharing

I'm lovin' this story, sunny. Keep up the good work.

Now this is an interesting development... I like the tentative nature of their, well, may I call it a relationship yet?

Man, she really had guts to go back after he acknowleged her the first time.  I'm sure they're both glad she did.  Quite an interesting build up of a relationship.  Not your usual way to fall in love.  *Snort*

did i mention this???


Author's Response: Nice pink skirt!

awesome.  greatest story ever.  ok, well, that's one perfect valentine, but right under that.  cant wait for the next chapter.

Author's Response:

And it's all for you, dearie! :P

Well, this chapter inspired a wide variety of reactions in me.First, you made me laugh when Severus first stripped naked.  It was such a funny way to tell Hermione that he knew she was there.Then, I got a rather disturbed by the fact that a teacher kept stripping naked in front of his student every day on the Quidditch pitch.  Just... not right.But once I found out that this was post-DH, making Hermione more of an adult, I felt somewhat better.  The development of their relationship at the end of the chapter and Severus's vulnerability were very poignantly done.Looking forward to chapter 3!

Oooh *shivers* Thoroughly enjoyable! And the ummm image?! *pouts* Sometimes, I am so damned jealous of Hermione, and this is definitely one such instance!! Delicious, sunny. Delicious.

aw, that was cute *and great*  i can't wait to read more!

Wow.  I really like the lack of words between them.  They let their actions speak for them.  It is interesting to watch Hermione puzzle through just exactly what his actions are saying (and I can imagine him doing the same wondering what it means that she keeps coming after seeing all there is to see).I also like your double entendre: it took the Potions professor to make me want to come. I really laughed at that.  Thanks for an imaginative story.

Aww, wonderful. I love what is developing between them and how comfortable they are with one another.

Brilliantly done. There is a certain overt subtelness to their situation (is that even a phrase?). I really admire the way you've used nudity as vulnerability and intimacy rather than overt sexuality. Okay, that's not what I was thinking about when he first stripped down, I'll admit it - but it is the greater meaning. Thanks so much for such an enjoyable read! =]

I believe that you meant a fitness regimen, not regime, though I could be wrong.
