Thanks!  That makes me very happy.  Cecil does have it larger than life.  But he doesn't seem to be affected too much by it.  Severus is my main man too.  He'll be around in a couple of chapters.

Yep, she did.  Hopefully it will work!

Well, I really can't argue with your logic there!  You'll know by the end of the next chapter whether you're right or not.  You're right, it is quite Slytherin of her, isn't it?  Perhaps they DO sort too soon!

Well, I'm glad you found it.  And I'm even more glad you're enjoying it.

Can you read my mind???  Dang, you're good!

No mind reading involved, just an unhealthy obsession with a certain tall, dark and snarky potions master. ;)

Heh, heh.  You and I both!

Of course it is.  She needs to really be on top of her game to convince Severus to help her!

Oh, that would have been a great plot twist, but unfortunately, Cecil isn't Severus.  Lol.  Oh, the possibilities!  We can only hope that Hermione is convincing.  She needs the help as well as the companionship.

Yes, it took a little setup to finally get to the good part, right?  We'll have lots of Severus from now on.

Thanks!  Hopefully it will be very interesting!

I don't think Hermione would ever settle for anything.  She knows what she wants and will go ahead and do what she needs to to get it.  Wait until you see her tub!

Thank you!  I'm glad it's a hit so far.  I believe that interesting definitely sums it up, especially since we're talking about Snape here.

Thanks.  Are you referring to her date's gushing?

No, I'm actually referring to her gushing, because I just hate the verb and I think it is used twice for her in a very short time. Maybe it's just me, but with gushing I think of a teenage girl and not of a grown woman.

Oh, now that would have been fun.  He could have been the hand behind the cauldron.  Lol.She should just sleep in that closet.  It's so grand.  Oh, and the clothes!

He will!  But not for a couple of chapters.

Bwa ha ha is right.  Hermione knows the type of person she wants, and will come to a decision about what to do about it soon.

Oh, cynicism is so overrated!  She'd much rather be happy.  We'll have to see what she decides to do about her busy, but depressing love life.

He did seem promising.  Good looks, not entirely stupid.  Some guys just can't take advice from women, I guess, no matter how amazingly famous and smart said woman is!  It's definitely Severus' gain!  He'll just need to realize that.

It's kind of funny having her traipse the planet looking for rare books, fighting tarantulas all the way.  Thanks for your review.

Don't you just want to shout it at him, sometimes!  That's why we have these stories, so we can see him happy!  Thank you for reading!  Glad you loved it. 

He was, wasn't he?  I like to talk to myself a lot.  It's a sign of a deranged mind, I think.  Not that Severus is deranged.  He's a lot of things, but deranged isn't one of them!  Thanks!

Real life can definitely be difficult, that's why I write fanfiction.  I sometimes enjoy the fics with sad endings, but my motto is life's tough enough.  I want some happiness in my fantasy-land.

Severus definitely deserves some happiness!  Heh, heh, Hermione might have had to propose, but thankfully, Severus knows a good thing when he's got one.
