She didn't do anything too bad to him. It's just something to remind Filius that he shouldn't meddle.

What Hermione did to Filius will be something he will never forget... and will teach him to stop meddling. Severus's curse and what was done to Flitwick will, indeed, wear off in the three month period.

You're welcome! Severus would be so much worse to deal with.

Hee. Perhaps she should, but she's still peeved at him for putting Severus through all that.

Thanks! Next chapter will show what she did. :)

It'll be quite a funny thing indeed.

She really did a number on him, just wait until the next chapter (which I promise will be up a lot sooner than this update).

Yup. Severus is livid. Hermione will be tagging along, so maybe she'll be able to keep them from dueling.

To be fair, he did hear her think she was going to try to find help for him. Now if only Flitwick will do what he needs to, Sev will be fine.

I wanted it to be as close as possible to the movie. Kinda changed things a little to suit my needs, though. Glad you got a kick out it. :)

Yeah, she should have. I bet she learned her lesson now.

Rest assured, Hermione did something quite great to Filius for daring to interfere in Sev's life.

I think after all Severus has been through, he does not want such a "gift". I'm sure Hermione will be able to keep Severus's anger in check so Flitwick won't be in real danger.

Severus might just get him for this.

Yeah, he's been pretty bad, but he did have the best of intentions.

Thanks! Yeah, the confrontation between Severus and Filius has potential to be quite tense.

Aw, thanks! She knows it's worthwhile to go with him; not only to help keep his temper in check but to also sate her curiosity.

He didn't think the gift would be as much hassle as it has been, and he's worried about what Severus's actions will be -- and rightly so.

Of course Filius had no malintent--he only wanted Severus to be happy; however, he had no idea that Severus would end up suffering so much. 

Or, maybe he just didn't expect Hermione would share the memory of their meeting with Severus.

And thank you for such a wonderful review!

She knows how Severus's temper is, and she's going along to try to help keep him calm. That and she's quite curious as to what's going on with Filius.

Yes, if Minerva allows her to stay, that student will be watched in his class. Maybe he would have her sit at the front next to him as a punishment and to demonstrate a little of what would be in store for the others if they decide to repeat her actions. In the next chapter he does indeed come clean to Hermione, but I won't say much about it here - don't want to ruin the surprise! I was puzzling out earlier as I was writing the next installment of this story, what on earth happened for Severus to have this sudden ability. Flitwick could easily be the man responsible. In fact, you just gave me an idea for the 6th chapter (fith is already completed). Thanks for giving me a bit of inspiration! Oh, and no worries as to whether or not there will be a happy ending. Of course there will be. I save the unhappy endings for real life.

I've been an inspiration?  Who knew?  Glad I could be of help!

Yeah, you helped me figure out what I am going to do next. Earlier today when I posted an entry on LJ, I was wondering what I was going to do, but now I don't have to worry about it. Again, thanks so much!

He wouldn't be Severus if he wasn't commanding; We love him just as he is: snarky, commanding, and oh-so-very-sexy. Thanks for the applause and the stars!

Hermione knows how to make him feel better! I'm glad you're having fun with this!
