Reviews for A Slip of the Tongue
Good chapter I am really looking forward to the reveng. Personally I think I would have snubbed the Weasley's more at the restaurant but that's just me
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thankyou. It's just taking so long to get to the revenge. *snort* It never was supposed to take this long, you know. ;)
I'm dying to read about the revenge. I'm wondering though, so Ginny is off the hook for slipping her the calming draught? I like the relationship you are building between Severus and Hermione. It's flowing very well.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* I'm terrible for making people wait so long, aren't I? Ginny is off the hook... it was a simple calming draught more with the intent of calming Harry than anyone else... she just had to drug all of them to do that.
This started with an interesting concept and carried through brilliantly. Thank you for sharing!
This was well worth waiting for!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you, I'm so glad that you think so! :D
"Not unless you want me to," he murmured silkily in her ear.
*Cackles* That's a perfect line. I'm now off to read more!
Bloody Aurors. You just KNOW they're gonna take care of their own. Still, I'm interested to see what revenge gets plotted over lunch!
Looking forward to more, and I totally understand how RL gets! ::hugs::
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
HA HA HA! Yes, most definately. Those darn Aurors. Revenge will be plotted over lunch though I'm toying with how to write it. You see, it's much more fun to SEE the revenge than to read about the plan. ;) *Evil Ginny* We'll see how it goes. I'll get more up as soon as I can. Thank you, hon!

*grins* Evil Ginny indeed, but that's why we lurve you!! 
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* I know... I need to see if I can get all of it into one chapter otherwise people will get frustrated. LOL!
Great update! I feel bad for Ron, but he should've known better...
!Cliffie!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* Yes, he should've known better. :) Thanks, sweetie!
Love! Wonderful story :)
Oh. wonder what the scrolls are about and exactly what Snape is up to... off to read more.
Oh no! What a great opening. Stupid, stupid Ron! He deserved that for dousing Hermione!
Women, eh?Well I gez you could say that. We all have our moments of insanity. LOLGood story btw and I really like the way Severus is using the situation. 
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
HA HA! Indeed we do. Glad you like the story. Severus is indeed using the situation as best he can.... we'll see if he can get himself out of the hole he dug for himself. ;) Thanks! ~Ginny
The bastard. Miserable git. Stupid louse. Hopefully Hermione can convince the Ministry that Severus is NOT a victim, and that she hasn't pressed charges, therefore there is no case against Ron.
As for Severus... he'd be lucky if Hermione ever spoke to him again, in my opinion. Doesn't matter what Minerva told him, that was incredibly immature and dispicable.
I hope the next chapter will be ready soon, cause I really want to see how this mess can possibly be sorted out. Good job, Gin!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
HA HA HA! Yes, well... Severus really shouldn't have done that behind Hermione's back... hard way to 'win a girl's heart', LOL! But this chapter also had to happen for him to see her as a strong, intelligent woman... not one that's weak and easily manipulated.
Anyhow, I'll get more up as soon as I can. Thanks, hon! ~Ginny
OY! What a cunundrum! LOL
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
HA HA HA! Indeed it is. :) Thanks! ~Gin
Hahahah! Yes women indeed, don't we all have days like that? haha. Absolutely fab! Loving it so much, please update soon!!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
LOL! Yes, I believe that we do. Thank you so much, I'm glad that you're enjoying this! ~Ginny
*snort* this is brilliant... poor old Ron though...
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much! Yes, poor Ron, indeed. ;) ~Gin
I think my favorite line in the whole story is when Severus tells Minerva "I hate you too." You can almost hear him saying it back to her in a sympathetic way! 
It feels like it's been forever since we've had an update to this lovely story. Can we get an update on when we might see an update?
I like the idea that he has never considered her as a woman before. Look forward to reading more.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you! Yep, he hadn't given her much thought before. I fear that he's becomming just as confused as Hermione right now. 
~Ginny
***waiting waiting waiting **** ***wonders what the potion is*** 
I hope her and severus make up... ***cough cough *** lol your doing great!!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
LOL! I know... I uploaded and someone was already asking me where the next chapter is. I really am working on it. (In between moving into a new computer and sorting out Vista troubles.)
Yes... more as soon as I can. Thanks!
~Ginnywow, Hermione blurted that one out. Severus, unfortunatly isn't a 'emotionally sharing' kind of guy. I like how you brought them together let's see 'Won-Won' squirm.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yeah, she really didn't make the wisest choices. But truly, one of the first poor choices she made was jumping into bed with a man that she didn't know all that well yet. Thanks!
It was well worth the wait, I'd say. It's a great chapter, you really manage to capture the characters. I love it!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much! :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Geez back to being prickly...
Thank you for a new chapter. Glad to see you back. Hope you had a wonderful trip. Send pictures.
Hugs
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yes, he is rather prickly. ;) I've got a few pictures on my LJ. When I have a chance I'll try to get up a few more. I just need to get my new computer behaving. :)
Ooh, I'm dying to know whose hair went into that second potion. And I like the techy twists in their relationship, perhaps because it seems so much like the reality of so many young women. It's so hard to resist stepping into that quicksand of prematurely asking the future of a relationship, particularly with an emotionally unavailable man. I'm looking forward to seeing how all this will be resolved. Thanks for updating. ~

Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* Oh, I would've thought that people would've figured that out already! :D Never fear, I am still working on it. :D
Yeah, young women can make some rather foolish mistakes in relationships. Especially when they try to dally with older men. :) Thank you.
Severus is a DICK!!! 
(But I hope everything works out for them, tee-hee)!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snerk* Yes he is... he was rather irrational in his response, but he felt like he had his reasons.
Thanks! :D
