Hello all, I am a 53 year old from NZ. Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing. Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)
Reviews for The Runner
Ahhh, very nice, and I'm so glad they have the support of others--I like Helpful Harry, he's ever so much more appealing than Hateful Harry :) And please tell me the next chapter will be up soon, because I'm barely hanging on to this huge cliff by my fingernails!! Great job as always!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
It will be soon, keep on hangin'! :)
Great story, Sunny. I love the build up. It's nice to have a sympathetic Harry.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thank you for your review! :)
What a tease, poor Sev being left in that state. And poor me having to wait for the lemons...lol.. Enjoying greatly
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks! :)
Yum! Oh, the waiting... but I'm sure it will all be worth it. Harry on teasing - very funny! Nicely done. Thanks 
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thank you too! :)
Great job, sunny. I can hardly wait for chapter 8.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks, Clay. :)
Do not leave us hanging (tee hee) for very long please. We too are all waiting.....
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
The next two chapters are just being polished. Won't be long. :)
That was a cruel place to leave us!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Not for too long, I promise. :)
Well that was a kick in the arse.you stopped at the good part!!!!
Oh ya.....BAHAHAHAH to harry being all hot and bothered!!! Fantabs work as always and I can't wait for the smut!!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Muhahaha! Smut? Don't know anything about that... *looks around furtively with fingers crossed* ;)
beautiful job with this chapter - it is easy to get lost in the humor, but your descriptive word choice is excellent and really add a depth to your characterizations - what a great job you are doing with this story - thanks so much for sharing your work!!!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thank you for your kind words. :)
Do you know how frusrating it is to find this gem of a story and to read it through from beginning to end in one go, only to find it ending HERE????? I want more, and I want it soon!!!Great work!gab
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
LOL. It's coming, gab! :)
You are my present and my future, Hermione. Only you.
Awww, I love it. Thank you Sunny for the wonderful story. Also, thanks to Robbi for pushing her to post.

Thanks, Flittter! :)
Now I won't be able to concentrate for the rest of the day, thinking about this! You really shouldn't leave us all in such a state of anticipation! If I'm being honest though, I'm not too sure I'm keen on everyone knowing about them; I personally thought it was better to have their relationship as a secret (more exciting that way!) Knowing that Severus is such a private person I don't think he'd want to be so 'open' about things. I also can't see SS kissing HG like that in front of others (especially Harry) - it seems very out of character to me. (Sorry, I hate giving critisism - I don't mean it in a negative way - and it's just my own personal opinion in any case.) Otherwise this is a really good story and I simply can't wait for the next chapter now! :-)

, my dear, I love that you are honest. Remember, only Minerva, Poppy, Irma, and Harry know. Everyone else is in the dark. And, yes, it was OOC for him to deliberately kiss Hermione in front of Harry, but the payback was that it embarrassed the hell out of him - and now he knows, he can jolly well make himself useful. *rubs hands together evilly* Thanks for reviewing. :)
Response from Sevvy (Reviewer)
So glad that you didn't take offence at my comments! I always told myself (when I first started reviewing on fanfiction sites) that I would never offer up critical comments (working on the old adage 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all' I suppose!) So I guess it's testiment to how good I think your story is that I felt confident enough to express my views honestly!It simply doesn't take away the fact that I love this story! :-)
Great chapter, and a nice, little cliffhanger to boot. =)
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks, luv! :)
Ooh! I'm so excited. It's a little strange for them not to have to sneak around, and takes away a little of the excitement, but it's good to know that no one will get into horrible trouble if they're caught. I hope we don't have to wait long for the next chapter!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Oh, they will still sneak around a bit. Only Minerva, Poppy, Irma and Harry know, and they want it to stay that way. :)
Oooh, anticipation is always the best form of foreplay! Nice update.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks,

Awwwwwww That's such a sweet image. I hope she'll get better soon.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
With the care she is getting? Of course she will! ;)
Oh but that is so much a good reason to miss sunrise. I hope next chapter will bring more hem passionate moments like that. *wink*
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Read on and find out... :)
I can't help but giggle to this as lovely and funny as it is. I really enjoy the story immensely, so I'd like to thank whoever it is that gives you the idea and support you along the writing process.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks for reviewing! :)
Lucky her! I'd love to explore Snape-err possibilities... *innocent*
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
LOL. I'll bet you would! ;)
Who knew Severus had this fine body hidden underneath all those clothes *snickers* I long to read next chapter, which I'm gonna do right now.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
I think we all suspected! :)
How awesome that they have two allies already! Its so great to see Harry being supportive and actually wanting to help. I can't wait to see how Minerva takes it. Please update soon! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Thanks for the review, Brena! :)
An understanding Harry, lovely. So glad to see the devotion Severus has for Hermione. I didn't expect Harry to see it. But I'm not looking forward to Ron's reaction. Thanks for the update, loved it.
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Ron. Well. He will be... interesting... ;)
Aaaah. I am totally in love with this story. The romantic implications of passing notes and sharing books in the library are greatly underestimated in my opinion!
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Only a bibliophile would understand. :)
Loving this!I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!Angela~~
Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
LOL Thanks, Angela! :)

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)
Don't melt, dear. We need you on Saturday nights! :)
