Glorious!  The spy who came in from the cold and found little more than the faith of one heroic young woman.  But that recompense, little though it may seem, could be life altering.

Lovely, lovely story!

Lovely, lovely story!

This is so beautiful.  I love how you describe both of them and their discussion and how it effects them both.  Just lovely.

This story begs to be written.  Like Severus and Hermione have been smitten with each other, I am smitten with the ideas you have penned and hope you will consider expanding this.I like that you have Severus dealing with the loss of his voice, having to adapt his speech to his limited range.  I like that he sees the sacrifices that she has made and feels protective of her.  I like that Hermione sees the sacrifices that he has made and feels protective of him.I loved that they danced the night away and paid no attention to the ill informed and petty remarks made by those who came to celebrate a victory in which they had played little or no part.  In this respect, little has changed for thousands of years, and I am happy for both of them that they understand this and give it no more consideration than it deserves.You have a winner on your hands!Beth

Aww...that was cute and very touching. You did a fantastic job. Keep up the wonderful work.~Jen

This is really lovely, quite warm and fuzzy - and was absolutely the right thing for me at the moment, having continued and unnerving trouble with our heating system which makes me run up the walls.
I do love this line: " "I am not a hero," he told her bluntly. "I am a spy." Well put, indeed.

I think that you stole my line with your last one. It's a beautiful piece filled with humour and hope. If you decide on a sequel I'd be delighted.

Lovely.  I really enjoyed this.

Thanks for a nice little story with great characterisations. It works well as a self-contained story, but it was so nice that I find myself wanting more.Cheers

Very nice... :)

I really like Snape and would love to see a little more of him.  You weave interesting romatic stories with a unique voice, and I enjoy reading them.

That was wonderful!! I really hope you decide to write more.

wow...will you write a sequel?pretty pweese?I loved the way you described Snape...very in character.Good work^_^

as much as i adored this story, i think you stopped it at the perfect place.  you have such a beautiful vision and a clear way of expressing it.  thanks so much.

What a wonderful story, I really liked it!!!

I really liked this.  I, for one, am definitely interested in having you  continue this.  I love your writing.

I really like it, if you have an idea on how to expand on it, I would most certianly read it.

Loved it.  More, please.  You aptly portrayed the merry-makers at the party.  Eager to be seen with the Golden Girl, yet quick to condemn when she did something 'scandalous.'  So very typical of human, and wizard behavior.  Always eager to see the worst in people so they can feel a little better about themselves.Severus and Hermione have both found someone who will truly appreciate them.  That's always a happy ending.

That was a delightful story.  I do hope you continue it.  This was a very good setup chapter.  I really like that you didn't make Hermione super short.  It seems like so many stories have her growth stop at 4th year.  I always imaginged that she would not have to "stand on tip toe" to kiss Snape's cheek, but would be tall enough to place her head on his shoulders while dancing.  In helps in their equality in my eyes, I guess.  Thanks for posting and I hope to see more, JoAnne

so sweet... but what happens next?? come on keep writing lol! x.x

Actually, fluff with a bit of a bite, I thought.  Loved it.

Very sweet! I love the conversation in the forest- and isn't it too true, the maliciousness of others? All you can do is stand up tall and proud, and not listen to them. Lovely story, and I wouldn't mind seeing more!

Just wonderful.  I hope there's more somewhere, but I always want more of your writing.

I love Glenn Miller, and had his music playing in my head while reading this sweet story.  Of course I wouldn't mind reading more.
