Thanks!  I don't usually write a nasty Hermione, but I thought I would have some fun with her and accentuate her less noble qualities.  I think she has the ability to get screechy and immature sometimes, and this was one of those times.

Sybill is happy that her confidence can be conveyed to those around her also.  She knows she's good, everybody else needs to learn that too!  Hermione really can be very domineering and immature at times.  I usually prefer a more grown up version, but as she's not the heroine here, I felt free to explore her darker side.  Mwahahaha.

that's neat because I feel the same way about Hermione!  I love to see her mature and caring, (and she is a deeply caring person) but you have captured her in a less-than-perfect mode, and done an excellent job.

Oh, she hates it.  She's not fond of being wrong, is she?  She's a bit immature here, but their past history keeps her from seeing 'The Real Trelawney.'

I don't think anyone expected that, including myself, but once the idea reared it's ugly head, it demanded to be written.

She has some really wise words, now that she is 'free.'  As for the Hogsmeade idea, it's pure foolishness.  But the lady is used to being flighty and has never had the chance to be impulsive.  Combined, these two things will not bring wise choices for her.  But her choices will eventually be the right ones, and she will get confirmation that she should do what she will do.  It all has to do with that Seer stuff.And yes, thank heaven's for knight's in shining black armor.

Wouldn't you though?  (die laughing, that is.)  It's so out of character.  But it's nice to see him a bit more relaxed.  It's good for him.  At least, that's what I think.

Ahh, who wouldn't go with him to Hogsmeade?  He's the perfect body guard, with benefits.

They're truly developing a deep friendship.  Severus just doesn't have pillow fights with anyone.

Oh, lots will happen in Hogsmeade!  It's the place to be, isn't it?  The next chapter will be up very soon, as i just sent it to SW.  Thanks!

Severus is protective of her, and for the life of him cannot understand why.  Lol

She should have kissed him, huh?  I don't think she's quite at that stage yet.  At least she got Severus to think.

The good thing is that she didn't die from her politeness!  And of course she sees the Grim.  I think her teacups are imprinted with the shape, so the tea leaves just adhere to it.  Lol

Oh, thanks so much!  It's so nice to have a positive, smart Sybill, isn't it?  Although, I think half the fun of Trelawney is her craziness, though, so we go there quite a bit.   I'm hoping to get one more update in before the deadline for the challenge.  But this fic is pretty well finished, so there'll be plenty more.

 Heh, heh.  Now you and your wandering mind have made it so that I will think of nothing but his wand also.  Holy double entendre, Batman!

Temptation indeed.  Her drinking has been part of her life for so long, I'm sure it was easy for her to find herself in the bottom of a bottle again, especially considering the circumstances.  Luckily for her, she's not dealing with a real addiction and will be able to 'kick the habit' without too much of a problem.

He still has his house-elves.  I have always pictured a butler in there somewhere too.  It just seems Malfoy-like.  If it's possible to have it, then Malfoy will.'best actor in the world.'  I like that.  It's totally him!  Well, here's his chance to do something different.  And if JKR had done the Avada, there would be no Snape memories for Harry, and all of fandom would be making up wild reasons why the Avada didn't work, because we all know Snape must live!

She was quite excited that she found that misplaced bottle.  It just goes to show that when you really want to find your stash, you can!

It is a bit hard for her right now, and she's just doing what she knows best.  I think she and Seviekins would find good company in each other.

Thank you!  I'm glad you are liking this.  He was rather considerate of her, wasn't he?  But he was laughing like crazy inside.

Thanks salva!  No, the Obliviate wouldn't change his character, that's true.  But erasing all of the things he experienced will give him a new start.  Azkaban would definitely not do that.  They're looking at doing a full Obliviate here, just like Lockharts. 

I couldn't have him go through more stress, no Ministry intervention!He's like most men, who think women cluck about mundane things and live to shop.  Part of his musings are his sarcastic sense of humor.  After all, his lovely Sybill is one of those hens planning to shop.  He is amused by them, but in his snarky manner, he has to be derogatory about it.Thanks,

!

Thank you, hon.  Glad you enjoyed my fluff-fest.
