The man protests too much... he has 'it' real bad. Teehee!  I wonder how this little conversation will affect future interactions with HG.  Will heart win over mind?  The next meeting should be good.  Bring it on!  Cheers!

Nice.  Very much in character as well.  I can't wait for the reak tap dancing to begin.

Oh, I love your Severus.

I liked the Albus-Severus interaction/struggle, and how Severus finally gives in and admits his feelings... if not all his thoughts *chuckles*

I look forward to see what's happening when they see each other, I feel like both of them have reached a turning point... :-)  

Moooore!  Please? 

I love the conversation between Severus and Albus. And how Severus refuses to admit a thing :D Albus is so amusing.

Another lovely chapter :)

And as always, I await your next installment. 

Great!  I love to see SS admitting or almost his feelings. I can't wait for SS/HG interaction and am praying all goes well bewteen the two.  Excellent job.

Go go Albus raaaaanger! Doodoodoodooda~::hands enough chocolate to get you through to the next chappie::::also sneaks Sev a hug for moral support, leaving quickly to avoid hexing::

When does she get back from the party? I hope she is going to kiss him senseless and take him to bed. My goodness. He's been a good boy and waited patiently, don't ya think????

I have fallen so far behind! this is wonderful, I got to read 4 new chapters at once!  I love this, can't wait till the climax, or climaxes, I hope.  I love Severus vulnerable, and Hermione taking some time to make her decision.  And the little sub plot of Minerva's feminism.  Most excellent.

  Oh, maybe it will end up on a ladder again?  He comes into the dungeon to find her rummaging about on a high shelf?  Or not rummaging at all, just waiting for him!

Love you

I've been hanging out for this update for a while! and it was brilliant, but I want more so if you would please update real soon im dying for some severus and hermione interaction!

Damn, woman, I'm beyond impressed that you got this chapter out not one day after finishing BiB!

And it's lovely, seeing Severus falling apart a bit.  Even as a portrait, Albus still has his number, too.  Nicely done.

A nice scene between Albus and Severus. The Minerva semi-subplot really made me chuckle.

too short!!!  :)

Cunny, such a medieval word, I love it! A great chapter, love Albus' coaxing Snape.

*gives you some chocolate*

I was very glad to see an update, and it was a great one at that. Poor Severus is being left out on a limb. Hermione better decide, and decide fast or he is going to give up!

*purrs*

*head-butts*

Thank you for another chapter!  And such a promising one, too ... it's casual and frank and friendly.  The conversation between Albus and Severus was so everyday and charming!

I shall eagerly and patiently await the conversation Severus is anticipating.

So, since you're done with Back In Black this means you're going to be updating Ladder, right? I can't wait, this is yet another great story! I'm going to have to find a way to occupy myself until the next chapter is up! Keep it up!

WHY ON EARTH DID SHE AGREE TO MARRY HIM?!? Oh-My-Gods, this can't go well... Okay, sorry, I probably ought to get back to the story now... Just had to say something here. This story is really excellent also! ;)

Okay, so I thought I'd check out some of your other work since Back In Black is one chapter away from being done... I must say that, if this first chapter is anything to go by, this looks like it's going to be one hell of a story! I did, however, notice that it says that it's not finished... Are you still working on it and, if so, how often to you update?

Need. More.

^_^ This is amazing, i can't wait to read more! I love the format of this story - first we see Hermione's POV then the same thing again, from Sev's. It's more interesting, in a way, than showing both at the same time..It really lets us get into the characters. I didnt really like how Severus only cared about the sex in the begginning, but i suppose thats how stories go. Plus, things are starting to be nice and happy-ish now, so i'm satisfied. Anyways, great job!

must.....have.....more.....chapters

Oh. My. God. I'm adding this to my fave's as soon as I've finished writing this. It's brilliant! :)-Elle

Ah, welcome distraction. Can't wait for Hermione to quit moping and go after him already. Thanks!

I just started reading this story, and I was going to wait to review until I got to the lastest update (because I have no patience). But I just had to comment on the Saussure. Having read him and his glorious mess of signifiers, signifieds, and signs, actually seeing some sort of application of his ideas in fandom was extremely exciting. Thanks!

i love how you have embodied mcgonagall, very funny and very much like how i imagine her.this is such a good story so far-quite addictive!
