“Good morning, Sunshine,” a deeply sarcastic voice came from her room.   LOL!  Poor Hermione.  There's nothing quite so bad as waking up with a hangover.Poor Severus, as well.  He and Hermione are beginning to notice each other as husband and wife, and our Potions Master has found that he must take matters into his own hands a lot lately.I'm glad Helga will have a chance to visit with the other Headmasters' portraits while Severus and Hermione are on their honeymoon.  She will get to visit with Lyons again...  "He was a charming fellow. Sang in the morning. Lovely voice. Firm backside.”Severus' parents are a hoot, and I think that Anastasia and Jacob will do everything they can to encourage the bride and groom to start their married life on the right foot... err... bed.  Maybe Anastasia can convince Crookshanks to come stay with her for a while...  Hummmm....  Great chapter!!!Beth

poor baby, poor horney baby.  love how they're gradually becoming more aware of each other.  great story.  thanks so much

I swear, I think Severus' retort to Molly is one of the funniest things I've ever read, bar none!  In fact, I may have to borrow it the next time someone asks me if I've gone crazy.  I'm looking forward to the next update!

You make my day every time you update! I can't wait to see if Snape's parents stay for a bit or leave right away.

Someone tell Crookshanks that they are married and don't need a chaperone! :)

LOL at Crookshanks and, of course, Severus and Hermione having to sleep in the same room!

Love the parents, still.  Good for them, throwing a chink in the plan for separate beds!  Tee hee!  If only these two knew how the other felt already!  I'm looking forward to them discovering the truth.

ha, that was great with severus falling over.  not that i wanted him to, i love sev.... it was just funny...  i can't wait to read more of this story.  It's great. 

I can tell that Helga is going to be one of my favorites!  She is witty and profane, and she has got Severus' number!  I hope she makes the journey to Russia with our happy couple.The events at Grimmauld Place were a little uncomfortable for Severus.  He doesn't want Hermione to be put into a dangerous situation, and he knows things may well become dire before all is said and done.Hermione's whisky-induced imaginings of Severus giving her gentle kisses on her lips and "on more private parts of her person" made me laugh.  And of course she wondered what all of us wonder:  "She wondered what his nose would cause her body to do." Marvelous chapter!Beth

Wonderful chapter! The Helga part is brilliant, as is the invention of her portrait in the mirror. And it might be quite useful that she realised only too well about Severus...
I liked the Grimmauld Place scene very much, too. The way everybody reacted and behaved... very fitting, and how hard for Severus to take! Poor him.
The last part was truly entertaining. Hermione does have fantasies, doesn't she? *rofl*

Author's Response: Thanks! :D I like Helga, too!

indeed!  loved helga-in-the-mirror!  did you make up the mideval slang or get it from somewhere?  great update!  thanks so much

Having naughty thoughts and acting towards them, are we. Well, I can't really blame her. Were I in her place I would jumped on Sev and raped him the very first night...*grin*And I love Helga Hufflepuff. She's really funny and will undoubtedly give Severus a hard time, and Hermione very usefull advices.

Helga, now you know she's going stir things up between them two. I think Russia is going to be very exciting *winks*Look forward to more.

Helga in the mirror, (made a hole in space and put the portrait in, how clever!)  I love the original touches you have used to make this your own story, even through the MLC.

Absurdity indeed.  Helga's got them figured out, doesn't she?  I'm truly in love with that lady in the mirror!  Can't wait for more!  Oh, and Ron is a jerk.  Yes, I know, jilted possible lover.  But he's just being his typical jealous self.  They are married, after all. 

I wonder if they will take Helga to Russia with them?  And methinks that their relationship may be changing fairly soon...

I'm really keen to see what they're going to learn in Russia. The talk with Helga was really good, too.

Tea with whisky?   Eww, Tesh!  Good chapter though, despite the weird beverage! :p

How excellent! Lucius has to vomit spiders, and Severus' dad appears to be something other than an abusive bastard. Not only that he's an Animagius?? *Standing Ovation* Your originality is simply brilliant!

Nice story! I liked the line about Ron punishing Hermione for not suffering enough. He shouldn't begrudge her a few benefits in this awkward situation (which will soon turn into a blessing, I'm sure). At first I thought it was a surprise package from Sev for Hermione. But they probably need some more time.

Well, that's a surprise.  This should be a good conversation.

Severus's got a father (well stupid question, he was not born out of spirit) but a living, magical father?!!! That's a new developpement in the story that I'm more than eager to read.

yike!  an owl animagus!  this gets better and better.  thanks so much

Well now, we get to meet Severus' father.  I take it that his Animagus for is an owl?  This will be interesting as the story goes on.  How many more members of Severus' family are there?I hope one day that Ron will get over Hermione being married to Severus... he can't go on be upset all the time... can he?  He's Ron, of course he can.  8^)Severus handled Lucius nicely when he made his catty remarks about Hermione still being a student.  I don't think he'll be so quick to repeat that mistake again, at least not in front of them.

Nice chapter!  Looking forward to the next update.

Just like the boys to find out she has something special (in this case an extra Hogsmede trip) and to twist it into something to benefit themselves.  You'd think Ron would be more than a little freaked at the idea of Snape, or for that matter Hermione, knowing a spell that would make the victim (him) spew forth spiders for a few hours.  Nice twist at the end.  Hope his father finding out they have seperate rooms won't be an issue...   Looking forward to the next.
