Two months?  :(  Well, I will be anticipating your story, greatly when it does appear!

A bit of matchmaking from Thea?  I don't think Hermione would make a good teacher, at least not to start with.  She is not patient.  At least she recognizes it.  Good chapter. 

Great chapter! I'm looking forward to the next one

more more please  love it

I'm really enjoying this story - I do hope Severus gains some sense in the next coming chapters!

Another wonderful chapter!  Thea is getting more comfortable around Hermione... Will it pull in the reluctant papa nearer? Hope we see more very soon.  Cheers!

Ohh, I need more! You have made several changes from canon but hey I still think it's working out great! (I would very much like a child like Thea...) I like the fact that Hermione is still not comfortable around Snape and that she can't really figure him out. (Not that Snape can figure himself out but that's another thing). It's great, Losille - just like your other stories... =) Keep it coming!

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this story. I hope you update again soon! :)

I've actually read a story where Severus wears 'fluffy bunny slippers' ... he didn't like them until they were transfigured black! Hey, glad you're back! I was missing this story.

Great begininng and I look forward to reading more. Thank you for writing

I was delighted to see a new chapter!

And it was rather brave of Hermione to take on taking Severus to task about his child-rearing practices here at the end of the chapter.  It will be interesting to see what comes out of that. 

I look forward to reading more.

This is an interesting take on Snape with child. I like Thea, she's quite the charmer.

What an amazing piece of work!  I like seeing Snape react this way to a child.  I'm really glad I chose this evening to check this site out for newly updated fics.  I'll make sure to check back often.  While Hermoine is acting very childish - I suppose that some of that is to be expected when confronted with your worst nightmare.  :)  Well...your childhood nightmare.  Great job!

The hidden child.  Thea is Hermione's new SPEW? 

<>*cheers* I've enjoyed this story, and I'm glad to see more of it.  I'm curious how Hermione will handle Thea and Severus with the new school year, and I look forward to seeing Hermione teach.>

Yay an update! I love this story, and I can't wait for more. I always thought the need to keep Thea secret for 5 years is extreme, but I can definitely see it with Snape's deep sense of privacy. I love Kingsley, he certainly adds more to the SS/HG mix.

I need good fics updated to help me get over DH.

I'm glad you updated. I decided to reread this whole story again and I really admire your style. You care about details without loosing the pace of the overall storyline. Your characters are believeble and have some psychological depth.

I'm glad your Snape still allows himself to be surprised. Previous chapter about unexpected sides of Hermiones character and this chapter about Thea's happiness. I hope he soon will suprise himself as well with unexpected feelings for some bushy haired collegue :-) Please update soon!

I absolutely loved this chapter! And can't wait till the next one!

 There was just the right amount of Snape's feelings that you feel involved... it was very nicely done! I look forward to the next chapter!

(Oooh... just thought... there could be some jealousy on Snape's part between Kingsley and Hermione... even if nothing was really going on... *cackles evilly* there are so many roads you can follow with this story, I can't wait to see where you take us!)

Yes! Another update. I really am enjoying the way your characters interact with each other. I'm looking forward to Hermione's first day of teaching.

You have me hooked and I'll be standing by, waiting for the next chapter.  Snape is truly being snippy... love it!Keep on with your good work.  :)

I really like the story.  The little girl is perfect!  I will forgive you for putting a goatee on my Severus. Please update soon.

Uh-oh, I do feel a tad sorry for Hermione... she really needs to think a little more before speaking... and also try and be more aware around her, so she stops things like day-dreaming (well, at least so Severus stops noticing, *grin*)

Oh the scheming is so delish...I wouldn't mind seeing Draco conspiring with Snape again...

*Grin* this was fantastic...I can't wait for the next chapter!
