how i loved the idea of the baby being bored and wanting to be entertained!  and by his father.  wonderful idea.  loved george's anouncement.  love whole story!!  thanks so much

It's been a long time since I last reviewed. For some reason, I stopped getting email alerts for updates. A lot has happened since I last reviewed. Voldemort is destroyed, Hermione is pregnant. I don't understand why she wouldn't want a baby from Severus, unless it's because of her age, and the fact that up until this point, he wasn't a very good husband. I'm really curious to see how she decides to bring down the Marriage Law.

I think this chapter shows Hermione that Professor Snape is an admirably opponent. He appears totally in charge of the situation and quite at ease, even with the unusual circumstances. He shows disdain for Hermione, at the same time being a brilliant tactian, using every twist to his advantage. If I were Hermione, my red alert, danger ahead alarm would be ringing.

That was another absolutely and utterly fantastic chapter.I find so cute that Severus is so insecure about the baby, thinking he despises him. Every new father go through this I think. Even the most confident are often helpless while facing the reality of a baby. I so much want him to be tender and caring towards her. Not that he isn't. I just want to see it with my own eyes because it's a wonderful thing to witness. Again you have all my gratitude for your brilliant work. You know, I almost (almost) want this to be over so I can read your next creation. Dis I precise almost ? *grin*

Great chapter, I do think they will eventually become like a favorite pair of comfy shoes.

Wow! I've just re-read all of this wonderful fic, It's just amazing!

I'm glad Molly can see that they are right for one another. Their getting there.

Utterly delightful. Is Fred's reincarnation truly inside Hermione's belly? Talk about Karma for Severus!How fun! I'm so glad that the next chapter will come soon.

They seem to be getting there! :)

Oh blimey. Now you've made me cry again... I loved this chapter sooo much. They're mad about each other aren't they? It's wonderful and touching and painful all at the same time...

Oh poor George, It' sgood that he finally started to laugh. I was surprised by the reception of her firends. Harry was so coool.  ANd Hermione turning to Molly for advise and books! LOL that was cute.I especially liked, by faoirte part of the chapter when Hermione tells Severus that his son wanted to hear his voice - to have him read to him so he wouldn't be bored! Loved that so much.

Oh the request was a horribly complicatedone nad yes, I find that I agree with all of Severus' motives for it. I'm glad that he saved her tea service.

Tee, hee. Love that last line! Since you already know that I adore this story, I can admit that I had my reservations when I first read this chapter. I'm not sure how to explain, short of saying that Hermione's actions - of asking Snape to marry her didn't quite ring true to me. Although I do understand that her usual logic could be underminded by the stress of the circumstances she found herself in. Without giving anything away for the new reader, I will say that much later in the story I had my ah ha moment in relation to my doubts raised in this chapter. One thing that did grab me was your unique writing style. I'll never claim to be a writer. I'm a lifelong reader, who has been drawn in and captivated by this SS/HG corner of the huge HP fandom. I've played at writing, but I don't known real rules or styles of writing, so I'm not sure what to call the technique you employed in COMC. Be assured it is brilliant. You seem almost minimalist in your prose, yet you capture a depth of atmosphere and emotion.Your dialogue and interplay between Hermione and Severus is fabulous from the start. I love so many of the elements you used here - Hermione disarming Snape (oops!), her citing the use of precautionary potions by staff to prevent inappropriate behavior with students (as if Snape would agree to that, LOL). Meanwhile Snape listens with a disaffected manner, albeit the sarcastic responses, and then effectively shreads her rationale in a manner which gives her no doubt to the magnitude of her insult.

Now it's Snape's turn..............................

Merlin, she was going to be the death of him.And you'll be the death of me!But I NEED to take a break here, if only to get my breath back...Severa

'routine healthcare' is the worst in stories, because it always surprises you. You're not making her pregnant yet, do you?...Thank merlin, you're not....and a whisk of the wand over her wrist revealed a silvery set of numbers that were evidently her blood pressure and pulseOh I LOVE that!...'I chopped my anitottle root instead of shredding it.'Now, isn't that the cutest character you've ever introduced? I had intended to take a break after this chapter. Alas, that last sentence makes that impossible. Severa

Still love Sevi's exchanges with Voldy...They're so ... sophisticated...Severa

Oh my, what is he up to now???I NEED to read the next one so I don't have time to say anything other than you met and exeeded all expectations I had for this chapter...Severa

What a chapter...I'm nearly speechless...I am actually...I can't think of anything to write other than: WHAT a chapter...SeveraPS: Very much looking forward to next chapter. Okay, and here we go...

This chapter made me smile a lot.Although come to think of it Hooch's lesson was not really funny...Still, the chapter made me smile somehow...Severa

Professor Snape stood in the middle of the room staring at the telephone in his hand, clutching her prayer book in the other. She honestly didn't know which struck her as more absurd.I couldn't keep from laughing out loud all the way from this until 'Narcissa Malfoy wasn't going to know what hit her.'It's so, so funny!And I L-O-V-E the washing mashine! I would be inclined to agree with Sevi: 'all over a washer that was old when he was a boy' - if it weren't so damned funny!On a final note:And she snuggled deeper and fought against sleep, just so she could soak up the sensations of being safe… at home… in his arms.Sigh... Well, who wouldn't want that?Severa

Telling the stories of the elves is a wonderful idea. Even if she does have rather a lot on her plate already.That choice regarding the Malfoy trial... that cannot have been an easy one.

Tricking the Ministry of Magic - my, my, my. It seems Harry was right after all: He HAS a bit influence on her. ...A sherbet lemon shortage! You had me there again - after a long time I have to say... Maybe I was just too tired. No, that's not it. The last couple o' chapters were a little more sober, but I don't mind at all. They worked great to give the story more depth. ..."Minerva," he said pleasantly, "bite my arse."And again! Two in a matter of minutes. Great work! Severa

I'm not a tea-drinker, but I was wondering whether you have tried brewing it the way Hermy does?Sevi's really cute when he's jealous... Gives Ron the picture with a bent corner... Ron's rather cute in this scene, too...SeveraPS: Do you know the song 'Could I have this kiss forever' by Enrique Iglesias and Whitney Houston.It keeps playing in my head and I think it's rather fitting for your story...(Look on YouTube if you don't know it and listen closely to the text.)

It's such a long chapter yet it feels all too short...Wonderful last paragraph by Sevi. Very, very, wonderful.Severa

Lovely picture...And Hagrid! Oh Hagrid is so ... so ... so Hagrid!The last two lines are heart-wrenching...Severa

I'm looking forward to the trial.  It will be interesting to see what Hermione will say and do.
