They were very good. Well done. Ah, how sweet it is.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks girly girl. I always get so nervous when I post a chapter which include lemons.  I'm glad you liked them.  It's nice when people tell you something you were feeling so critical of, is good, and its especially nice when its a fellow writer who writes damn good lemons.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Yeah, they might find themselves drawn to Albus.

Great Chap but you are missing a you I think in this sentance: Please, tell me can love me someday.” She kissed him again and felt the tears forming in her eyes.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks!  I thought I went back to add that.

Great chapter & lemons very good too.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  And thanks about the lemons.  LOL, I think they might be easier to actually write if I were in a relationship with someone.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Lovely chapter.  I am really enjoying your story.  I think your visualizations are good and I look forward to more.  Thanks, JoAnne

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

I try to put as much detail as I can in my story.  I want people to be able to see it like I do, a little movie going on in their head.  I hope you continue to enjoy.

Amethystique

There just aren't enough euphemisms to describe how I feel about this story!  It is consistantly excellent, and is getting better as the plot progresses.  Oh and Yeah you! for juicy readable lemony goodness! 

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thank you.  I'm so glad you are still enjoying this.  It took me way too long to write the little bit of lemons I added.  Now I can get on to the rest of this.  I'm hoping to be able to sit down tomorrow and do some writing.  Thanks again!

The lemons were just fine, really   Nice chapter, by the way.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks!  I didn't go full one, but I did the best I could.  I'm glad you liked the chapter.

I think your stories are so brilliant, they do not require full on lemons.   The zest you supply is just right.Best wishes,

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks!  I can't bring myself to do full on heavy lemons.  God, LOL, I feel so stupid!  I just feel like I'd rather do nothing than risk the chance of having it read like some horrible dime novel sex.Now that I got the DREADED smut out of the way, I'm hoping I can get the next chapter written soon.

when are you going to have hermione and severus become adults again.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Both of them being small is the whole point of the story.  I'm not really sure when I'll have them become adults again.  I hope you're enjoying it regardless of the fact that they are children.

Response from harrypotterfan2005 (Reviewer)

yes i am enjoying the story

Given Snape’s tormented childhood and school years, he must be tempted to try again.  But this would be a poignant story instead of a light hearted story.  Snape mentions not going through puberty again, but that seems insignificant compared to his other problems.  He could write a note to himself that he is voluntarily reliving his life.  To add to the poignancy, Granger would make the opposite decision.  Nothing she could do again would match her life as a member of the trio.  Do not know if the next chapters will grapple with this issue or not.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

This is a humor based story.  They are children again, nothing more nothing less.  Snape is not reliving any trauma he went through as a child and Hermione is not reliving her "golden trio" days.  

If you are looking for something with a hidden meaning, and for something that gives Snape insight on his childhood, you're reading the wrong story.

If you wish to stop here, thank you for reading this far.   

Response from Fairfield (Reviewer)

Yes, the first chapter was light-hearted, but several ideas occurred to me while reading it — debated whether or not to share them.

"I’m not above putting you over my knee" a mental image which is just too good - snicker.  Great chapter and am looking forward to what mischief they get up to next.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

You know, after I wrote that I got the same mental image, of course the image I had had a much bigger Severus.  Bondage between ex-Death Eaters.  Sounds interesting.I'm writing the 7th chapter now.  I hope to have it done soon so that I can send it off to June.  Of course you know Harry and Ron have no chance of escaping thet wrath of little Severus.

Yes I did enjoy the chapter.  Thank you for asking.  I especially like the last sentence. 

So Ole Luc has eyes for a Weasley.  Mmm will wonders never seese...

thank you for a new chapter.  It's a wonder ron hasn't used a pensieve yet or is that coming up soon dear author. 

Thank you for a new installment excellent as always.  Boy Molly is going to be a hard one to deal with.  All hugs an everything.  Snape's going to die of suffocation 

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Lucius needs lovin' too after all.  I like putting him with Ginny.  I'll have Ron and Harry come by for a visit soon.  Little Severus isn't going to be too happy though, as you might imagine.

You are teaming up Lucius and Ginny again.  I find I like that combination.   Thoroughly enjoying the story.  Many thanks for a brill read.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Yes, I can't see to get away from that combination.  I think it works well.   It sort of mirrors Severus/Hermione, but its different in a few ways so it make is interesting to write.I'm glad you are still enjoying this.  Thanks for taking the time to read it.

Just read the last 3 chapters in one go.  Really exciting, I loved Severus punching Voldie on his none existant nose. Brill. as usual.Best wishes,

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

I'm glad you are still enjoying this.  Wouldn't that be a sight though?  Seeing a little Severus getting all wild on Voldie?

Another great chapter, very exciting and maybe a little Lucius / Ginny play for the future?  Can't wait for more.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks.  I'm glad you enjoyed this.  Yes, there will be more Lucius/Ginny in the future.  I like those two together.

Thank you for a new chapter.  It was full of excitement..  oh the dark lord is going to be pissed when he finds out his toys have disappeared.. 

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

I thought it would be nice to get the "kids" out for a bit.  He's not going to be pleased no, but Lucius won't take the blame, I can tell you that!

harrypotterfan2005

you said in chapter 1 that draco is in hermione class in the unvin  but in this chapter you said he is dead

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

You're right.  I'll have to amend that in chapter one.  I had since changed my mind about where I was heading.Thanks for pointing that out.

Nice, nice  I see a little GW/LM action in the works yay

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Oh yes, I'm totally into getting GW/LM together.  I think its a pairing you don't see much of, like HG/LM, but I like it.

Oh, just love how cute they seem as six year olds.  Liked the story so far and look forward to the next chapter.

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)

Thanks.  I think they are adorable like this.  I loved writing how their children would be in my last story, and that's what got me thinking about doing something like this.I'll have another chapter up soon.
