I'm pretty sure she was turned already, but his words were the icing on the cake to help her know how much he feels for her.

I think they were all too absorbed in the gifts and how she'd react.  Alas, the end is drawing near.  But it will be a happy end!

Thanks.  It was quite comical. 

Mmm, hmm!  He's lovely, isn't he?  I usually don't like men with long hair, but between Severus and Lucius... Wow!

I really think that given the opportunity we can all become the best we can be.  Lucius just had his opportunity later in life.

Yes, things are coming along nicely, aren't they?  (We can hope, right?)  I too thought it was the right thing for Draco to do the curse.  He took on that responsibility, giving Severus a break for a change.  Being that it was his dad, it was a family responsibility.  I should have a new chapter up within a few days. 

Yes, isn't it wonderful that he gave that to her?  The man just might be a Seer himself!

I don't think Sybill has seen a vision of who Hermione is going to be with, so we may never know.  Lol.  Personally, I think she'd be better off with anyone but Ron.Things are moving along with the relationship end.  Their friendship is definitely cementing, and that's really the basis for any good relationship.

Thanks so much, Pookah.  I was really pleased to be included with such great stories.  I too enjoy other people's takes on magic and how it works.  In this, it helps us to see her full transformation, I think.Things seem to be going nicely for Sybill.  You know what that means... chaos will ensue.

Deep down, he's just a protective, tenderhearted fool.

Sybill can finally not only teach as she wants, she can remember all of the things she learned as a young lady.  I think she forgot some of it in her quest to be batty.Hermione can be stubborn, but she will admit when she's made a mistake.  A sure sign of maturity.  It is a bit odd not having Severus attracted to her, but he does that all the time.  It's time for something different.  ;)

oh, it's more than welcome for me that you chose someone different for Severus.And for one simple reason I am indefinitely indebted to you for chosing Ms Trelawney: we share the first name. with only the "e" missing at the end of her version. oh I definitely do like that pairing. *gg*

Thanks!  It's quite a bit different, isn't it?  Sybill can really be what she's always wanted to be, a good teacher who instills knowledge in her students.  What a difference!

Aw, you gave me a squee, you're so sweet!  Thanks, Merrin, I appreciate your input and I'm glad you're enjoying this.  And yes, special somethings are always good.  Lol.

Oh!  You got my Sleeping Beauty reference!  You're the only one who mentioned it!  You made my day.  I'm not sure about her subconscious.  It probably was working very hard.  But I think it was totally subconscious at that point.  The woman had to have a bloody vision to wake up to her feelings for Severus, so, she's a bit blind in that department, I think.  Too much scotch!  Woah!  Who's that handsome man?  Oh, look, a bottle of scotch.  What was I saying?

Thank you!  It was really fun writing Hermione in this.  I'm glad she came off as believable.  Sybill will stick to her guns, no matter the cost.  You can see why, but then you have to shake your head and say, "Foolish!"

She really should, but you'll see her motives more clearly coming up.

Sometimes it's just nice to see Severus not beating himself up, you know?  At least not to the point where he thinks he's a worthless person and has to hide from everyone.  Thanks!

It's really hard to give up on something that was used to cover so much up.  Luckily, she won't fall prey to her drinking again.  She has learned her lesson.

You'll see what Severus, and she, really think about the Grim.  She really is having a bad day, though.  Just when you thought you could relax, boom!  Everything comes to a head.

Yeah, wouldn't that be great?  Oh, well, this IS a fantasy.  But, hey, fairy tales can come true.

They really do.  They've both been outcasts for a long time, so they can understand one another better than most other people can.  They can really help one another out.

You will eventually see their responses.  I think Severus will be  more surprised by who saved him, than the fact that he was saved.

Isn't it nice to know that there was a reason for her being the way she was?  Thank you!

I really wanted to visit the old Trelawney, as she is so much fun.  And seeing the scary Death Eater cowering in fear was pretty fun to imagine and write.  I think this helps to explain a little bit of her eccentricity.
