LOL I think a walk in the snow was jsut what he needed.

Yeah, running away, slamming doors .... so mature *rolls eyes*

;-)

/M

When words fail you, forget them.  Great job, Sev!

He just can't stand to watch her being in his lab, and not being able to take her on the workbench, or can he. *grins*

He is so cute. Kissig her as if his life depended on it , and then storming away with a good slamming of the door. *silly grin*. My beloved Severus. *sigh*. Maybe a good shag on the workbench of his lab would help ... *hoping fervently with the puppy eyes*

*mwaha* There, she has it now. Great chapter!

Homina homina homina!!!! Oh, God, yummy!!!! Can't wait to read more.

Yeah, baby!  Now das what I'm talking about! 

Now that Severus has "declared" himself, so to speak, I can't wait until we see what our reluctant love birds do next.

Squeeeeeee.....  I love it!
Beth

Whew!  Severus is really giving himself hell for having given Hermione a personal compliment.  He had been trying to put to rest the bad feelings that came between them as a result of their argument, but he felt he had utterly failed.  What would he think if he knew Hermione had been about to knock on his door when he began haranguing himself?But now it appears that the angry noises she had heard had caused her courage to desert her.  When are they going to cut themselves and each other a bit of slack.  Remus?  Where are you?  You need to play the "butt-insky" again!!!Well done!Beth

Apparently everybody sees it but Hermione.  She is even having dreams about him, but she doesn't see it.

Well, at least she plans to talk to him tomorrow.  That's something, at least.

Beth

Remus is bloody brilliant!  Their opening greetings had me in stitches!  The game is such a sneaky way for Remus to get them to say something nice about each other.

"Severus, I think you are one of the most adept peoples in potions." 

"Hermione, you are one of the least unintelligent people I have taught."

There!  That wasn't so hard, was it?

Now Hermione knows that her hair was not the reason Severus had denied her request.   Hummmm... Will she apologize?

Nice!
Beth

Severus does have a romantic interest in Hermione!  Yes!  Now when is he going to realize that he should talk to her and tell her that he has change his mind about her using part of his lab?

"My feet have turned green, and I can no longer feel them?" 
*chuckles*  Any excuse to get out of going to dinner.

Good for Remus!  He is determined that Hermione will go to dinner tonight!

Marvelous!
Beth

This gets interestinger and interestinger each chapter.  Severus has noticed that Hermione has not been around.  He. Has. Noticed.

As for our Miss Granger, just what had she and Ginny "talked about"?  And she is embarrassed by her behavior, that she called him an "insufferable bastard."

Thank Merlin for Remus.  He wouldn't take no for an answer...  What will Severus think when he sees him escorting Hermione to the Great Hall for dinner.

As I said, interestinger and interestinger!
Beth

Sooooooo... it's not her hair... he's afraid of allowing himself to spend time with her...

Well, he'll just have to get over that!  After all, this is Hermione!

Love it!
Beth

Ahhhh...  Are they really arguing about her hair?  Or does Severus have some other ax to grind?

Well done, again!
Beth

What have Severus and Hermione found to argue about?  Clearly she is troubled by their distance from one another.

Well written, and a lot said in only a hundred words!!!
Beth

wow!  great update.  thanks

Excellent.  I look forward to more.

Funny that she was scared for no reason.  Of course, if I came across Snape destroying his room, I wouldn't knock either. These two need a wake-up call. 

It seems Remus' game made its effect. It's always a wonder why so intelligent people can be so "dunderheads" when it come to feelings. It's a fine job you're doing so please keep it up.

Come on, Hermione, come on! He likes you, and you like him! Get a clue, my lovely Gryffindor!Excellent tantalizing story! :)

Ha, Remus Lupin, the fly in the ointment.Very good work, as usual.(M

What did have Remus in his drink? Of all the ideas... it worked, though, and they're getting closer... a bit. Complicated people make for complicated relationships, don't they? ;-)

Author's Response: But they do make for the most interesting. Thanks for the reviews!

Ah, now it's getting more clear. Severus is afraid to show a weakness, or rather, to show a blink of humanity on him... well, it happens to everybody sooner or later. Poor him! *lol*

And they dance around each other in a way that... that... hm, can't describe it, but you could just wonderfully.
