She's back! And sarcastic to boot.

How sweet! Does he indeed blush? *smiles* Oh traitorous body! ;o)

Author's Response: He's too pale not to blush :D  I like it when he blushes, makes for a fluffier Snape.

lovely.  thanks!

I love it! :D

But will he let her help? This is great.

Oh no what a place to be left.

awesome

You have an amazing way with so few words, such feeling

delightful

These are very poinent and interesting

Things don't come easy for him, do they? Sad, now I think we all need hugs, lol.

OMG I too would do anything to help when he islike that. Fortunately it's a rare sight.

Too bad he can't do anything yet. 

Aw, my own eyes would tear as well seeing a patient try so hard.

lovely.  thanks

Aha, that wasn't what he was expecting!  I wonder what he'll answer.

I am really enjoying your characterizations of them. Severus snark, and Hermione's defiant attitude. Both mask much deeper feelings. Great job of making them multi-dimensional!

Why not? :)

ohhh!!!  way to go - on the edge of my seat wondering where it will go - thanks for such a grand job of drabbling!

"we could be lonely together, sir.”That way they'll not stay lonely for too long.

There is a lovely sense of calm and stillness to this piece. Also it is entwined with sadness and a longing for closeness that they cannot seem to yet conciously acknowledge. You write wonderfully well and I am enjoying it immensely.

Severus does have insight into Hermione's character, but does he have equal insight into his own?  He thinks he cannot change his loneliness.  I'll be curious to see how Hermione responds.

I'm looking forward to Hermione's response to Severus' insights.
