Doesn't it though?  They're so fun together.  Of course, Severus will be a hard nut to crack, and it will take Hermione a lot of work to get him.

Thanks so much!  I am honored that you like it so much.

Thanks!  I'm glad you like this Hermione.  She is quite fun to write.

Hermione really needs someone who can understand her.  Hmm, who could that be?

He is starting to get a bit close, but I don't think he's willing to lose his hermit-like existence yet!

Thanks!  They do seem to be getting along well.  As well as can be expected with Snark-man as your companion.

Hmm, that would be interesting.  But I think he'd take offense.  After all, he can dress himself.  (And quite well, when he puts his mind to it.)

Oh, thanks so much!  We can only hope for the best between these two.

Yes, you would think that sidetracked would be good.  But you never know in the Wizarding world, now do you?  As for our Dark Knight, Hermione can make random comments like, when they find the book she can yell, "Holy ancient tomes, Batman!"When they Apparate, there can be little words left behind like, Boff, Bam, Pow.Or in a more modern version, Severus can jump around corners and yell in people's faces, "I'm Batman!"

Oh, he's very insecure and oversensitive.  If I hadn't spoken to anyone in five years, I might be too.  The man truly needs help to lighten up.  Hopefully, Hermione can give that to him.

Oh, thank you, that's really sweet of you to say.  I'm honored you feel that way, really.

Thanks for reviewing all six chapters.  I really appreciate it!  I guess it is unlike her.  I kind of want this story to be a bit more lighthearted, considering the prompt.  (Not that it won't have its bit of adventure and, I want to say angst, but I'm not quite sure it's quite that serious.)  So, again, I think that it goes back to her thinking she deserves to be pampered.  She's seen it all and lived the worst of it all.  She deserves a good life.  She's not that teenager who had her nose in a book constantly anymore.  She realizes life is too short to not enjoy it.  (Thus the millions of boyfriends.)  She's matured into a woman who isn't that insecure young lady who couldn't even flirt with Ron.  She likes herself, so she can now laugh at herself, and thus can joke around, even with Snape.  I hope that makes sense.  It does in my scatterbrained mind, but who knows what the translation into real thought is. 

Seeing where you are coming from certainly helped me sort the story out better.  Now it makes more sense. Thanks.

He's willing to share it because Hermione has peaked his interest.  If he can help with the diary, then he can actually see and touch what will certainly become the most sought after tome in history.

Thanks so much!  We're all happy with a little Sev/Herm time now, aren't we?

He's really a logical choice, even if she didn't have the hots for him.

That was the most challenging thing for me with this prompt.  I've never written an Hermione who is so grounded in the materialistic things of this world.  That said, it has been a blast.  My take is that Hermione went through horrible things during the war and she feels that she deserves to pamper herself a bit because of all that she's been through.  She is often in the public eye and wants her best foot forward, so to speak.

She did, and the papers continue to give her many, even though her 'adventures' now really aren't all that exciting.

You made me blush!  Lol.  Hermione knows that now's not quite the time to pull his leg.  ROFL.  Between Hermione's lavish wardrobe and Severus' outings incognito, this fic will be redubbed the 'fashion plate' fic soon.  There's more non black attire for him to come.  I think his best outfit will be... well, I can't say, because that's a few chapters ahead.  (And no, it's not his birthday suit!  Shame on you for thinking that!)As for complications, there will be some in the next chapter, but it won't involve being recognized.

Yes, now he will fume for the rest of the evening, because he's just that snarky.

Thanks.  It is a rather lighthearted romp.  The book search in the next chappie will bring them a bit of adventure and some more serious stuff.
