Dear corianderpie.Your story is well worth the wait. Your description of our two lovers is sweet, charming and ... well ... downright hilarious. From Severus´ playfulness and lack of concentration to Hermione's frustration with him and her wicked ways of getting even, it was just priceless. I wish you a happy holiday, and look forward patiently to the next chapter.

Yay!  I was just thinking about you and this story today, wondering when you'd be back to bless us with more naughty lovliness.  And here you are!Congrats on placing in the Best New Author category of the awards!  Good for you; you're amazing.Loved this line from this chapter:‘Apology accepted.’ She made the words sound more like, ‘You have a reprieve from your blood-soaked death. For now.’ Not really the tone to make a man feel at ease.

holy wow that was hot. I bet Lavender saw the flush in the Great Hall... 

The next chapter?? I'm still gulping in air from this one. Goosebumps all OVER me body!!

Delicious chapter!

Still loving this story.  I'm just so disappointed I didn't start reading it sooner.

So THAT's why it's called the Restricted Section!  I'll tell you what, Cori, this chapter was unbelievably sensuous, and I thought Hermione's reaction to his "ministrations" was perfect.  How could she just go back to her Common Room and act as if nothing momentous had happened?  I couldn't have.  Whew-boy!  That's was some kinda hawt, and I think you've created another wonderful memory for both of them. (I'll certainly never forget it!)Well done!Beth

Ooohhh...yummy!

In the library hmmm I like!

I always see this story on the list of recently updated fics but have felt too busy to start something that is already over 25 chapters long...but I took the plunge this morning and am very glad I did.  I'm totally hooked and can't wait until tonight when  I can read some more. :)

I love this story. I am allways a bit nervous when reading a 6'yearstory. Allways hoping that at least one person who know Severus and loves him will know he is not a traitor, well I will see eventually what you have in store for them. at least for now he has some joy in his troublesome life. Looking forward to updates  

This was a totally awesome chapter.  Can't wait for your next update.

Ha! So hilarious that Hermione has to write a checklist (what? Not color-coded and charted?!) to be sneaky. She's just been so *good*! And now what is Sylbil Tretipsy going to do? The combination of thick headedness and drink is a little concerning. "wink"

Wow, They certainly aren't wasting any time are they, and in the library no less.

It will be hard for her to act normally around him now! :)

oohwee. very hot! though i'm beginning to wonder how they deal with the pressure of not getting caught.

This was delicious!  And, "letting the notion of Irma Pince’s private life go unexamined" made me laugh.  She probably feels the same way about him.It was also funny that no matter what amazing things he was doing to her, somewhere in the back of her mind, the well being of the books on the shelf takes precedence.Oh, did I mention how hot the library scene was *fans self*Love it!   Must have more!

I will leave you with the first words that came *ahem* to mind: "Good bubotubers! Why, oh why did I quit smoking?" And yes, I do use 'good bubotubers' frequently.Thank you for the extra fun in one week. Much appreciated. *waves from under the mountain of papers to grade*

<<Figured some of you would probably rather read this chapter a little sooner than later, if the preview was all that was lacking.>>Well, I'd rather get lost in the library with a certain Potions Master, but, eh, this will do.  [grin]

Yay! You absolutely and completely rock! Fab chapter! Naughtiness in the restricted section... I don't know about Hermione's fantasies but it's certainly one of mine! :)  I was without internet for 36 hours and nearly went insane. So imagine my delight at your wonderful update when it all started working again :D Thank you for an excellent chapter and you can probably guess just how excited I am for the next update :))) Loveyoulots SG x

So much love to you! Wonderful, WONDERFUL chapter. So lovely. So, so good. On tenterhooks for the next one! :D

Only Hermione would have a special sneaking around list, she is so adorable.  I love all the "talismans" Severus has in his pockets, how romantic.  He is simply perfect.

Whew!  I'm exhausted just reading about all the things that happened in this chapter.  The battle of wills between Severus and Draco was fierce– enough so to give even Severus a bloody nose!  Poor Draco.  He doesn't want to do the task Voldemort has set him, but he sees no way out.  And this reminded me that before the term was out, Severus would have to kill Dumbledore, and Hermione would have to try to make sense of what has happened.  She is so happy now, and I can only imagine how devastated she will be.  And it's not the kind of thing that Severus could tell her about before hand.There were several things that made me laugh, too.  Hermione's list making cracked me up.  Only she would make a list of all the things she needed to do for her part in this newly discovered love affair.  But I have to admit that all of them were important things.  I loved it when she inserted 3a between 3 and 4.The book the young Slytherins were poring over in their Common Room was a hoot, too.  But even funnier than that was when Severus reduced it in size and put it in his own pocket.  I'm sure he will enjoy reading ‘101 Ways to Drive a Witch Wild, by the editors of WQ Magazine,' and coming up with his own list of ways to please Hermione.The description of how he thought of her handkerchief was good for another laugh:  "It was another talisman: his lady’s favour, embroidered with tiny pink flowers and stiff with dried tears and snot."  I probably laughed harder at this than anything else... until you said in your A/N:  It has sssuch interesting things in its pocketses, Preciousss!  There's a little of Gollum in all of us.  LOL!Thanks for a wonderful and busy chapter, Cori.  It's been a real pleasure.Beth

Wondeful! I can't wait for the next chapter . . . must have it soon! So much tension.

Poor Severus, he has to try to help Draco and keep Hermione from spilling the beans.
