I like a lot your story, I mean I feel there will be some drama intertwined in the romance.For now, I prefer this story to Transfig of the Heart, curiously, I find Snape and Hermione more... in character. I cannot exactly explain why. If I find out, I will elaborate later. The story and characters (Snape at least) seem more mature.First, I am happy to see the classical roles between Hermione and Snape exchanged. I mean, I feel she will be snappish enough with her old grudges for the two of them. In this story will she have the bad role? :)I have a theory. What if she misinterpret some action of Snape and report it to Harry ? That action inducing some questioning of Snape by aurors or/and school governors?And then would realize her mistake and feel guilty toward Thea and Severus? An other theory, I think she will review her judgement of which woman would be drunk enough to sleep with our dear potion master (/grin)NB: sorry If I did make some grammatical mistakes, english isn't my native language.

Good work!

Excellent, wicked new chapter! Arthur and Severus plotting to get Hermione into the Potions position at Hogwarts. I'm loving this story and look forward to reading more. This is certainly a unique take on SS/HG!  

I love this.  The way that Hermione is duped in to the position is so plausable.  Keep writing.  Bravo!

MAD!!!!
that was pretty tricky!

wonderful ! I cannot wait for next chapters

Gotta enjoy those Weasleys!! Love this story so far and am awaiting the next chapter, eagerly.

Ooo, sneaky  I like it.I do hope Hermione isn't always as easy to manipulate - I'd like to see Headmaster Snape grinding his teeth in frustration from time to time, especially as he worked so hard to get her.

gotta love Slytherin cunning, trickery, and mind games. <3 especailly when played by Snape or Draco...mmmm

He's a crafty old bugger isn't he, getting Malfoy in on the job! It worked though! Looking foward to Hermione's first day, are sparks going to fly?! I do hope so!

Another great chapter, it was nice to hear their thoughts. They so need each other! I bet you're gonna make us wait though!

Gah. I hate waiting.  I'm thinking you're going to keep us hanging a little longer before she goes back, aren't you?  While I'd like the pace to be faster, I'm really enjoying the path you're taking.  This is the kind of warm-fuzzy I really need.But, because I don't get here often, I've got you as favorite and bookmarked and anything else that sends me an email when you update!

Yay, she's going!Will Snape be civil to make sure she takes up the post, or will he revel in her about face?How long before she hexes him?I can't wait until you give us the answers

This...

is...

amazing!!!!

I giggled, "awwed", wanted to cry...oh em gee.

It's great. Keep up the awesome work! I can't wait to see more updates. 

Just a note to say how much I am enjoying your story.  Your characters have depth, a sense of humor and a realness to them.  I am looking forward to the conversation Hermione and Snape have over her acceptance.  Just how much of a Slytherin is he going to be and hold it over her head while secretly being delighted she did just that.  Oh and of course I am looking forward to the rest of the story as well.  Keep up the good work.  JoAnne

I loved this chapter. I think Snape's summary of all that Hermione had done with her life up until then was perfectly done, painting a good picture for us all. I'm off to read the next one. Lovely story, dear. The plot ensnares me.

A lovely story, I can't wait for more.?

I'm so happy that Ginny and Harry talked her into thinking about it, and damn it, this is the downside of following a WIP (too impatient! hehe). Looking forward to your next.

Fantastic!I hope she takes the job!

I am so loving this story already, I'm hooked! Great chapter, there's nothing better than the two of them having a bit of a go at each other!Looking foward to more soon!

I'm liking this so far, very interesting read. Nice to see this side of Snape, even if it is a bit AU, who cares?!If it's gonna be fluffy, it's more than likely going to be AU, and that's the way we like it!By the way, so far it doesn't look like you need a brit picker, you've done good all by yourself!

Excellent start with an intriguing premise: how is Severus going to lure Hermione away from her bookstore?  Or will something vice versa happen and she lures Severus away from Hogwart? I am very much looking forward to reading more!

SO GOOD!!  I'm loving this story!  Can't wait for the update.  Hopefully soon?????? 

Different! Engaging! Love your dialogue, it moves swifty and is quite realistic.

thea is a lovely name, and I likr Snape with a goatee too.The "I won't sleep with you" line, Ah huh! That was weird but funny.So you got me in, and I'm waiting for the next bit. Big fluffy bunny slippers and all.

there's a conundrum.  Why is Hermione content to run a small bookstore when she has several advanced degrees??  Inquiring minds wanna know!
