Thank you so much for the update, I was so happy to see it! I love that they are getting friendlier and showing each other more care and respect. I am not sure if I like the idea of Severus having Hermione helping him to visit a prostitute thogh. I can accept that he may have needs, and it is not like he and Hermione is in a romantic relationship, yet, but even so. I am so "old fashion" and egoistic that I don't want my heroes to have others during a story where (at least I think) they are supposed ot end up together. To be honest, I think you migth as well just let them stay friends, that way it wont hurt or ruin anything when Hermione discovers just what kind of visit Severus have her taking him to. I would find it quite disrespectful for Severus in any way making advances on Hermione after using her to see his whore, and I would hate for Hermione to accept such actions. It might be kind of backwards since they are not in a romantic relationship, but I know the I would have found it hard, if not to say impossible and really bad taste, to forgive or accept anyone making a pass at me after having me help them visit whores (or mistresses or previous lovers). I don't think I could have accepted that. Feelings, at least for me, would also be based on respect, I can't love someone I can't respect, and I would not respect a person who made a pass at me after using me to visit other lovers,  no matter what status our relationship was at the moment, I just can't. update again soon!!!

What a sweet chapter!  Severus is finally relaxing around Hermione to where they're becoming friends instead of, as you said, captor and captive.  Very nicely done!

yay yay huzzah hurray...thanks for a lovely story. I hope more is coming soon!

Hmmm am I detecting a hint of lemon for the future?

You know, I understand his motives, but still, asking a woman he is interested in to escort him to a prostitute is a bit much.  Although I'm really enjoying the story. 

Apparating your fella straight out of a brothel - that's chutzpah!

I'm looking forward to see how Snape will like the new nighty :D And how you'll get him to seing it, of course. :) 

just a pleasent dinner in muggle london to discuss matters, eh?  he he he.  loving this story thanks and many virtual truffle kisses.

I am really enjoying this fic. Harry and Hermione are spot on and Ron trying to be mature and reign in his emotions makes him a much more likable character. His ranting can be a bit much at times.

I felt so sorry for Severus during the hearing, it seemed so unfair that despite admitting that he was helping the light, following Dumbledore’s orders and doing more good than bad, he should still have to be ‘rehabilitated’. I was so glad when you made that exact point in Chapter 4. Having Severus switch between trying to be reasonable and civil to Hermione and acting upon his anger and frustration is great. We don’t quite know how he’s going to react and it shows his ambiguous, often volatile, nature. And who can blame him, though perhaps he’s directing at the wrong person. I cannot wait for the next instalment.

I'm loving the story and your way of writing. Great work with the characters to, Snape and Hermione are both very much in character and still going in the right direction (towards each other). I'd really like to see Snape's thoughts on that shower scene, lol.

Of to a good start. I've read several stories were somehow Hermione ends up as Snape "keeper" but a lot of them weren't feasible or well thought and had week plots. Yours is original and feasible and I can foresee a lot of possible situations for our favorite couple. keep up with the good work.

Very lovely. Poor Ron, always so clueless...

Well, dinner in Muggle London does sound quite promising. It seems Sev has had some time to think, too.

*is trying to be patient*

I loved the shower-scene. Maybe I should take one, too. But a cold one, without Snape in my bath :(.Lovely chapter! I think I've never read the Pancy/Ron-pairing and I really like her, actually I think they are a good ship! I'm looking forward to read glimpses of their relationship.I would love to have a nightshirt like yours, that you could transform from romantic to erotic. And the colour-changing - how cool is that!

Ron and Pansy.  Erk.  Well, love never has made sense, since people have been talking/writing about it.

Hermione's shower certainly "showed" Snape!  And he actually sorta-kinda apologized.  They are making progress, of the three steps forward and two steps back variety.  But it's progress!  Good chapter. 

Leave it to Potter. Where is Draco in this story?

So glad there's another update! The Ron/Pansy in here is so fun to read.

GUHHH!! ya that was amazing hun! *says a bunch of praise for you to the computer* cant type it all out!! lol keep up the good work!!

Seduction and plotting over dinner next, right? Right?  This is such a lovely story. And the Pansy/Ron bits are so lovely and awkward.

Thank you so much for the update. I am glad you solved some of the misunderstandings so fast, and by the looks of things will solve even more in the next chapter. I find it boring and at times annoying when some stories tends to hold on to misunderstandings, making them a big part of the plot for x number of chapters before solving them in the next to the last chapter. I like that you have Ron paired with Pancy, he will never be my favourite caracter, but as long as he is not paired with Hermione (I absolutely hate that pairing) I can find him likable enough. I also liked Hermione's talk with Daphnee, letting us see that not only Severus is being treated unjust and unfair by the ministry. And, I seriously hope that you will let Hermione apologise to Harry asap, and that Ginny wakes up to make Harry happe too:-)) Update again soon, I love this story!!!

It was a bit risky when Hermione ...eh did what she did - then again I think it was a good thing. No matter what Snape says or do or...he is not made of stone and Hermione might just have reminded him of that when she did...you know...that. (Btw he description of Snape was just...*melts*) The scene in Nanyc's with Ron was great - I really enjoyed the scene between him and Hermione. And let's hope Ron will eventually tell Pansy that her arse is not *that* big ;-) I hope nothing bad will happen at dinner. Snape control your temper and Hermione think before you speak...No matter what I'm happy they are getting along. Great chapter - it just keeps getting better and better! I hope the next will come sooner rather than later :-D

What would one have to do to have a Snape like that in one's bathroom? :-D

I'm enjoying the way they're getting more used to each other. In all sorts of ways. ;-) And I'm glad they've made up again!

Brilliant chapter.

Funny how the Trio's got *ahem,* chemistry going on with their "charges."  I'd like one of Nancy's magickal nightgowns!! 

BEst intentions, etc.  But I thought they knew better than to trust that Skeeter.  She's burned them before. . .  1 step forward, 2 steps wayy back.
