I loved it Ladymage Samiko! I am glad you went the directions you went so that it wasn't at all cliche'. It was an old idea but original and magical! Hermione benefited and Severus learned a lesson that benefitted them both.  I really like that she and Severus didn't have a big fight but that she handled him as she had learned to do as Sage.  She learned to control her temper to her great advantage.  I also have a more friendly feeling toward the Malfoys. I really liked the idea that Hermione saw Lady Sage as who she would be if she had been born a pureblood and accepted it without judgement. It just is what it is. I liked what I learned about purebloods. Everyone won in this story. I do hope Severus wasn't required to brew anything too Dark or nasty for Lucius. I was feeling rather sad before I read this story. I've been really sad about Ms_Figg, but you really cheered me up.  Thank you. Your writing skills and story telling gifts are excellent. 

Lovely story. Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing!

Just a quick thank you for a great story. Both characters were kept believable and the story itself kept me amused, and reading, to the end.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thanks for posting. I really appreciated the resolution and Hermione's explanation of how her new two selves interacted and melded in her own brain. I do love the nerdy magic stuff. 

A beautiful journey. I can't write put into words how wonderful this short story is. It goes beyond my current vocabulary, immediately after reading it. All I can offer you is: very well done.

Thank you for sharing this with us! I absolutely loved every bit of it--definitely my favorite variation on the Pygmalion story. 

Great story. Lots of interesting ideas ..

I loved it, even if I think Severus got off way to easy after making that bet about her. It was a cruel, careless and obnoxious thing to do and I am still somewhat mad at him. But, on the other side, excellent plot and brilliantly written and I got my much needed happy ending so I guess I forgive him anyway:-))
