Good one. Except that Dumbledore and the teachers kept it all hush hush. Thank you for reading and for the review.

I'm so glad that you liked it. Thank you for reading and for the review. 

lol Go to bed love, and hope you have a wonderful Monday and the rest of the week, too. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Well, of course not, it's part of his charm - his naiveness in realtionships and his little moments when he lets his guard down. Glad you enjoyed it. Bedtime, sweetie. Hope you have a wonderful week ahead of you.

It always bothered me too. I mean if Slytherins are ambitious, wouldn't there be Slytherins in the magical government and in key roles in the Wizengamot? Anyway, I don't think all Slytherins are baddies and not all Gryffindors are  goodies. period. Oh, you spotted it! yeah! You spotted it. Thank you for reading and for the review. Happy reading.

Yes I spotted it! I figure school Houses are rather like political parties--the liberals think the conservatives are all bad and conservatives think the same thing of the liberals.

Thank you. Ues, sorry about the delay. Yep, the brains-effect... affect? lol  Thank you for reading and for the review.

Well, she's not exactly into him, is she? So it's not really Lav that is the issue, it's that she kinda wants some male attention and to be seen as a attractive and desirable girl by some guy in her house (and not because of the Bloom, either.) Thank you for reading and for the review.

Nope, he isn't. Fleur. Gabriel too.  Nope, he's a bit clueless and a wet dope. But again, it happened in the books and so I didn' the 'Ron walk out' my way. It has more punch this way. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Brayer, I love your comments on the Bloom and point deductions. Poor boys have no clue, do they?I'm delighed that you like the way I wrote Severus' and Minerva's 'talk' with the students. Somehow it seemed teh most likely, as well as Filius' floating charts. (mentioned) Of course Harry used the skin, it was teenSeverus who discovered it and wrote it in his book - the one Hermione copied from and that Harry is using. And she still hasn't figgured it out yet. lolHappy reading love, hope you enjoy the next one. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Such a wonderful moment and yet, your right, the book glossed over them. But I loooove foreworks! and Fred and George. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you very much. I'm glad that worked so well. Thank you for the review.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad that you decided to give this one a try, and I hope you like where I take this. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you so much, doll. Yes, she's going back. I hope to ahve the next chapter up soon. Thank you do much for reading and for the review. Hugs~ See you on Saturn!

Thank you. Yes this chapter was hard to write, mostly because I was worried people would be mad at Seveurs for being a jerk, but I'm glad the hurt of losing her was evident enough. Things will change in the future, that's all I wanna say. Some big, many small, a few tiny, but a few. Yes, I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go through the books. I hope it's not aweful for everyone.

Thank you. I agree, Time-Turner stories are fun, and fun to write. Thank you for the compliment. I was playing around with the whole paradox thing, if one trip in time changes what happened that previous timeline vanishes. Teen Severus is a lot of fun to write because he's not jaded yet, well, not as much. lol I'm so sorry I made you cry. Thank you. I appreciate you giving my story a try. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. Hope you had a tissue handy. lolThank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. I hope to get the update in soon. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Oh, you'll find out soon!  Yes, she really likes him, and yes, things in her time might be different, some things will be. You'll have to wait and see. Sorry, about that.But I really appreciate the review! Hugs~

, I'm glad that you like the idea of the Bloom, and hopefully the Surges as well. Oh, yes, doll, ALL the girls will Bloom, but Seveur is used to keeping his idstance,a nd his emotions very well in check. Harry/Hermione's year there are about 40 students according to JKR so that 's at least 20 or so girls, all that will have a BLoom for at least 7 days (that's the adverage) Of course, our Hermione is not exactly 'a normal' she's exceptional. lolYou'll see a little bit hints in his diaolgue... and you'll see his reaction to Hermione, but really, I don't care about his 'tuning out' the other girls. But I assure you, he does.Oh, yes, Seveurs' little group. Slytherins are cunning, remember, and sly. Plus Draco is all stressed out on his own task to really be all that interested in what Seveurs is doing, and these students are not really his friends, just his housemates. The previous years, Draco really only hung around Crabbe, Goyle, and occasionally Blaise. In canon, Nott didn't hang around Draco at all, not really, and I'm sure that Nott had friends. So, I figured that Slytherin being divided isn't much of a stretch then. Oh, I have already strated that bit of the story, things come to me and I'm like "Oh, yes, that would so work! (even at 2 am they muse strikes) so part of it is all worked out. Hope you like the bit. I think because right after leaving school, Seveurs got mixed up with the Death Eaters, about 1979, but in 1980 (or the frist few months of 1981) he hears the prophecy and that Lily was pregnanat - and so he turned to Dumbledore to protect her. but I'm guessing that he wsa arrested shortly after Voldemort's fall/Harry's survival and that he was in Azkaban for a while... then a nasty trail in which Dumbledore stood up for Snape.  But I'm guessing that Seveurs was not pardoned so much as given a type of parole - under the watchful eye of Dumbledore. And he was Hogwarts most hated teacher... (by many, possibly not everyone) So, even if he had tried, his reputation as a Death Eater might have put a taint on any attempt to be published. He might have tried, but really, why would he. HE knows he's brilliant, He knows his potions are better than anyone's and it woudl be a matter of pride to keep his secret to himself. Just my opinion. Thank you for reading and for the review. I liked your thoughts by the way!

Hi, I meant how Severus reacted back when he himself was a teen. Or as an extremely young teacher. Now, of course, they're way beneath him--all Xcept one, whether he admits it or not. We might wonder why Severus bothered to make the medicine for Mme Pomfrey more palatable--he hates students, even more those who get into trouble or cause him work, doesn't he? Maybe he just started it when he heard that Slughorn returns?? Pride, indeed! BTW, I loved that piece of dialogue in your story.I also picture that the Slytherins have severe rivalries inside--the house ethic probably insists that this is no one else's business, which isn't the worst of a house ethic, really. This recruiting just seemed to be a move that could SO fail--after all Draco adores Snape, or at least did. Nott keeps himself aloof. It makes him an explorable target for fanfic. 

I have mentioned the early years of teaching from Severus' pov, and how he learned to 'ignore' the girl's Blooms. Either its been said or is coming up... I'm a few chapters ahead of  you.The potions: a pride thing. even as a teen Severus knew his potions were bette than Slughorn's and took pride in the fact, eve though Sluggy woudl take credit for the student's potions that were give over to the hospital. His teen-self grumbled about it, as I recall. Nott, oh yes, and possibly as a kidd bullied by the others as well in canon - the odd ball out. However in my other fic, SWP he's a curious one to pay attention to. I'm glad that you are enjoying the story.

I talked it over with my alpha and Brit-picker, and we all thought that Draco, being a Malfoy, would send one to all the girls, a status thing, and that it'd be the same charm, mailed to the girls from the jewlery shop.   As for the boys, it would depend on how strongly a girl Blooms, and how long... Hermione is a strong and capable witch, so her Bloom is strong, her Surges were strong, whereas someone not as exceptional would have a BLoom, but not as strong... think girls periods - it varies depending on the girl. Make sense?Thank you for reading and for the review.
