awww short chapter but sweet ^.^

LOL.  Caught being soft-hearted.  Whatever next? :)

Such a lovely chapter, I do so enjoy seeing the softer side of Severus, especially since he is obviously still quite uncomfortable showing it. But the chapter title, 'Blissful Ignorance', gave me a bit of pause and a sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Ms. Skeeter may have been dealt with, but what of Ronald and Molly? Poor Bill, BTW, having to suffer the wrath of his nutter of a mum!

So sweet! I love it! Severus is going to be a brilliant farther. See JK this what could have happened lol. Look forward to more.

I really miss the cuteness(?) of such scenes. They're simply adorable.

Veeeeeery cute!!!!

poor julia...but man does she have the right attitude!  great update.  thanks so much

Brilliant update, Angela!  I loved the way Severus so easily captured the miscreant beetle.  Rita's penchant for the worst sort of mischief has landed her in a ton of trouble.  Would it be too much to hope for Azkaban to be in her future?  The Slytherin boys who were only too willing to help Miss Skeeter in her bid to discredit the headmaster and his wife will be paying a hefty price for their lies, and I hope the detention Severus sets them works their sorry arses to a frazzle.Once again I have to tell you how much I love Megan.  She is brilliant and devoted to Hermione and Severus.  She will make a great addition to their family and will be a fabulous older sister to the twins.Well done, my dear!  You deserve a pretty bouquet!  Beth

beautiful!!  that's a gotcha!  great update.  thanks so much

It's nice to see that Sev's still got it! Brilliant!

Yay, now that that is taken care of, he can put more work into his growing family. I'm excited!!! Great chapter!

You would think Rita would learn, or at least pick another target.

great chapter, I can't wait for the next one.  glad they got Skeeter, the stupid wench.

As always a delight!  Thanks for sharing your fun!!

Great chapter.  Looking forward to the next.

Take that Rita Skeeter!  Now that that's taken care of, maybe a return to smooth sailing?  hmmm...probably not.  Looking forward to what comes next.  =)

oooo sneaky

I'm glad that's settled. Now they can move on to their happyness again, and contact another Ministry emplyoee for more pleasant matters. Like adopting little Megan for example. After all she is the one who made this arrestation possible.

I see Severus hasn't lost his touch. Those boys are for it. Great chappie.

I absolutley love this story! I cannot wait to see how it ends :D

Haha! Finally Skeeter gets what she deserves. And so will those nasty little Slytherin gits too! Sev is going to be the best and most protective daddy ever! Love it!

Oooooooh Megan is soooo cute! And such a resourceful little thing too! I can tell she will be a great addition to their budding little family! Nice job! xo.

Oooh, it's so nice to see Skeeter get what she so richly deserves! And it sure didn't hurt for a few prejudiced Slytherins to get a nasty scare and a dose of humiliation either. Somehow, though, I suspect this will be the end of the issue, especially given Molly's involvement. 

Excellent! Got the little bugger! lol Well, these boys will see that old Snape hasn't his touch when he gets through with them.Livvy

Ha!  Rita Skeeter is in trouble now.  Looking forward to see what sort of revenge the consummate Slytherin and an angry Gryffindor concoct.Looking forward to the next chapter.  =)
