Hey!!! You did not just do that!!! *refreshes page* damnit u did!!! Common girl you can't do that!!! Totally loved that btw but an update had better be soon darlin!!!

YEAH!!!  Relief for pent up frustrations for everyone!  Wait a minute - someone please kill Ron Weasley in a slow and excruciating manner.   Love your plot twists - thanks for your hard work

Ron. It's gotta be Ron, and WTF is he doing interrupting them like that?!?! Excellently hot and frustrating chapter, m'dear!

This is not nice madam....but very good cliffie!  We all know who is at the door and so one chorus of "GO AWAY RON" should be sufficient!  and maybe a hex or two or three

Okay, so who needs to be hexed? Ron? Couldn't Harry have hid that damn map?

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!You are turning coitus interruptus into an art form. Poor Snape. Poor Hermione.And poor ... Ron?

GRRRRRRR *frustrated* Has the whole world--school in this case consipred against them. And couldn't Harry occupy Ron with a game of exploding cards on chess. Because I can see no one else barging in like that.

The whole world seems to be against them. If I were Hermione, I would hex her stupid friends onto the moon, lol. I can't remember but I thought Harry knew, so it has to be Ron at the door. Looking forward to your post, hint, hint.

OMG!!!Cliffhanger much? Why must you torture me?!?!!I want to read more ;pAngela~~

Pure torture this is!I'm suspecting a certain Weasley! Grrr... Do they not think! Please update soon!!  

Such a sweet scene at the end. I am glad that our dear Potions professor has found love at last, and that Harry now knows how to keep his eyes open and his mouth shut.

Haha - at the beginning of our Voyeuristic Exchange, it appears that Severus Snape now has the appeal/effect of a Sparkly!Vampire, lolThough you've redeemed the chapter with a very puddle-worthy scene, keep it up!

This wasn't where I expected this chapter to go, but I just loved it!  You've explored the "getting-to-know-you" aspect of their relationship, the UST, and now the romance and caring!  I just LOVE how this relationship is developing.  And your writing has great tone, pacing, and touches of humor.  I'm checking daily to see if you've posted another chapter.  Keep up the good work!

Awww...Just: awww...SO sweet and heart-warming. Thank you!

Wow! I adore this, really - it's just beautiful and very hot. :)(I've been reading too much serious stuff lately methinks...)

I've passed over this several times since the title didn't catch my eye, but I decided to give it a go today and I'm glad I did. This is a really sweet story that has brought a smile to my face. I can't wait to read the next chapter. 

“Look after her, Poppy. She means everything to me,” he whispered...To let his guard down this way shows just how much Hermione means to Severus.  It is not surprising that he chose to spend the night in the Infirmary watching over her.  I have always thought of Severus as a very private man capable of great passion and love.  It's good to see this relationship developing between them!And I'm tickled pink that Poppy is so supportive of the love that has formed between the Potions master and the Lioness of Gryffindor.I like the way you have portrayed Harry so maturely.  He has really grown up.  I can only imagine what Ron will say when he figures out what is going on.  Will Harry tell Ginny?  Swearing her to secrecy?Wonderful chapter, sunny!  Beth

I have just come across this absolutely wonderful story today (I'm relatively new to this site) and I have been eagerly 'catching up' on it ever since it's discovery.  I just love the way you write and your Severus is spot-on in the way I see him!  What an amazing read; it has just the right amount of sweetness and sexiness to keep it balanced. So many authors are just not capable of sustaining the 'slow burn' aspect of a story and building up on the sexual tension of the relationship; perhaps it's an age thing (I've just read your profile and we are the same age!) but I definitely appreciate this kind of writing skill you have perfected! I now simply can't wait for the next update! :-)

Very nice, ma'am! And good job Harry, too. I'm really enjoying this story; thank you for continuing to post it. You do a very good job with the characters and I like that. Thanks, Cat

Erotic! Emotional! Touching! Moving! Exciting!I've run out of words.Oh, wait... there's another word that's fitting: More!

*pant, pant, pant**rereads chapter**pant*

Ah, still brilliant and wonderful. *swoons at kisses*Alas, I am a lowly Muggle, but I do not know how to interpret the simple gesture of his finger tracing her palm.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I read that Professor Snape stripped. This seems so incredibly unlike the sheltered man that we're used to reading about. I hope he reveals later what prompted him to suddenly disrobe.It's amusing that their tenous relationship started with public nudity and has just now progressed to hand holding. :) I wonder, does he still disrobe every morning for his exercises? Does he redress himself before joining Hermione to watch the sunrise? :)

I looooooooooove this story. I think my favorite part of this chapter (aside from the obvious descriptions) is when she replies that she's pondering 'Hidden assets'.Awesome.*squishes chapter again*

I believe Severus does not show emotion but under the right circumstances, he will show how he feels. American Indians have a rep for being stoic but see us in a family gathering and you would be hard pressed to keep from laughing with the rest of us. BTW, F.A.R.T means? Loved the chapter.
