'Shenanigans' made me giggle also when Severus said "I can assure you, Ms Granger's evenings are otherwise occupied."  I must say the lemons are fantastic. I'm looking forward to how you wrap this up (not like I want it to end though!).

I have to admit that I laughed at poor Hermione's near escape from Lockheart, and Severus's sharp comment to the reading group's leader was hilarious!Well done, I'm looking forward to seeing how this gets wrapped up.

Lockhart! I did not see that one coming. Always thought he was safely insane. He still is insane, just not on the safe side anymore.

Aha. Excellent plan! :o)

So much to love in this chapter! Hermione's plotting is wonderful, and it's great they finally gave in to their mutual desire, but what I loved most was the perfect balance between their scorching lovemaking, real emotion, a bit of angst and lighter moments. Looking forward to more!

Rofl! I love the book club presentation. It's very good to see that Severus and Hermione are not the only ones who are fed up with the stupidity of the book Your UST is superb - It makes sense that Severus would want to take things slowly, though I wonder how long he'll be able to hold out ;-)
"Crotchlumency"? *snigger*

This was excellent. Loved the growing relationship. The wonderful discussions Severus had with Minerva. Really liked that so much. Sexual tension and discriptions of their feelings for eachother growing so comfortable with eachother. This may have been one of the best worded stories I've ever read. Excellent work!

I love the idea of Snape giggling.  It's just a truly wonderful image.

::sporfle::Thirty-six chapters and an epilogue?  You're so droll!This set-up is believable and very amusing.  I'm looking forward to reading more.

Oh, wonderful!  This has been a joy to read, and though I'm rather more hesitant than I'd been before about the idea of joining a book club (never done it before, but now it seems like an even worse idea...), I'm still glad I read this. 

I actually caught wind of your story via lovedraughts LJcomm, and signed up on PP today so I could read it -- and holy hells, woman, I thought my husband was going to have to pick me up from the floor when I was laughing so hard at certain points this evening!

I *loved* your sense of humour throughout this, and the little moments of tenderness and compassion and thoughtfulness b/w Sev & 'Mione from beginning to end. : )

Thank you *so much* for all the little side-remarks and inner thoughts and outer shenanigans (the birthday party at the W's had me howling into my elbow at my late shift at the office for work, shhhh!), and I can't wait to take a look through your other stories! :D

Thank you for sharing, and have a wonderful week--this story made my day, and I'm favourite-ing it ASAP. (I hope you don't mind!)

  Hmm, there wasn't much by way of plot development in this chapter, was there?*holds hands up protectively*Joking!  Yet again, wonderfully done.  This reads almost light and fluffy, yet you add concealed depths.I'm so glad they both managed to work things out to their ahem satisfaction Penultimate meeting?  Does this mean the story is almost done?  *pouts*

I am so glad that (a) they didn't rush into bed at the first sign of mutual attraction, (b) he used a bit of Veritaserum to open up to her (I'd like to have seen one of those conversations--I bet they were interesting!), (c) she finally decided to press her advantage, (d) you didn't gloss over her feelings of loss and their dealing with it, and (e) THEY FINALLY GOT TO IT, and rather satisfyingly, at that!  Stellar, in fact, does describe it.Nicely done!  (Don't let him cast one of those Distracting Charms my way--I like to watch!)

Your  clever story makes me so happy! Maybe not as happy as Hermione, but close.

Excellent chapter.  I loved how Severus didn't quite see eye to eye and managed to fix the problem before a major blow up.

Wow, I thought that was really going to blow up for awhile there.  Great chapter.  Will gags be invovled? Or will Severus spill like a Hufflepuff????

Woooo!!! About time eh?? Amazing things these book clubs haha. x

Ooooh.  Nice.  The big pay off was definitely worth the wait.  The sex scenes were lovely.  **Sighs happily**

really great job - please keep up your hard work - thanks for sharing

This is one of my favorite chapters.  I like that they are taking some time to let their relationship develop.  But I have to say that when they were snogging in the alley across from the pub, I was kinda hoping that they might decide to go up to Hermione's flat.    *sigh*

Severus is beginning to deal with all the "stuff" from the war, and I think it will be good for them to talk about it... sharing that sort of emotion will help to cement the foundation for a stronger relationship.

I am so happy you have shared this story with your readers.  It is a divine way to spend some time with my favorite OTP.  Thank you.Beth

Are you not updating on Ashwinder? I really like this story. Are they going to be attacked by Martha or Matilda? Perhaps using polyjuice?

Excellent, entertaining fic! Even the chapter titles were witty and fun, although there were quite a few tears as well, in the early chapters at least.I think you might just be a favorite author for me. Good job on this story, it's a favorite too.

 Oh, lord; caught in the act by a toddler.That has to be one of the most embarrassing interludes ever...and hilarious as well.Little Victoire is going to be an unholy terror, all right.Another fine chapter. Good job.

Believe it or not, I had an inkling it was Lockhart. Still, it was a surprise that he'd been sprung from the Janus Thickey Ward. Hermione must have been royally grouched that her own research helped cure him.Another good chapter.
