I love it!

Brilliant!  I love Hermione's determination to get what she wants, and she wants Severus!

This short tale has been an absolute joy to read, and I can't thank you enough for the wonderful evening I've had relishing every single word.
A Thousand Points to Your House!  And flowers. 
Thank you for this.

So much has happened in this chapter!  I think it's my favorite one (so far).  From the gift of the new robes for Severus to the $500 bribe, it has been completely magical.

I like the way they are becoming more aware of their feelings for each other—her calling him her husband to distract the Death Eaters who were intent on beating him to death to his telling the Muggle doctors that he was her husband—it is WONDERFUL!

I'm sorry there is only one more chapter!  Wah!

The gentle easing into a familiarity is sweet, and I loved Hermione's reaction to Severus' leg touching hers as they played poker.

The thoughts that ran through her head were the perfect commentary of what was happening to them... and she had earned bragging rights by winning his money.  And she revealed that she and Ron are no longer an item.  Hummmm.... “He isn’t, is he?” Snape didn’t manage to sound as disinterested as she knew he was trying to be..."

This is a sweet and most entertaining story!    I adore your Snape and Granger.  Their kind of like Bogart and Bacall.

“But is that a crowbar in your pocket, sir, or are you just happy to see me?” 
  I laughed til tears came in my eyes!  This is hilarious!  Five stars are just not enough!

Absolutely Smashing!!  I enjoyed every second of it.  Thanks for sharing.

just now caught up with your work - and enjoyed it immensely - thanks for such a great ride!!

I'm a sucker for a happy ending?  Are we there yet?  Any follow up planned?

Loved the story.  All the little details of the road trip were priceless.  Great work.

I did enjoy it.  Thanks!

Wonderful!  Of course, I'd like a bit more about the ensuing six months, but it ended in fine form.  Dumbledore in the flashy shirt was a great mental picture as well as having him studying the wallpaper with such great intesity.  Great fic.  Thanks for taking the time to share.

(long sigh).  I hated to see the "trip" come to an end, but thank you for leaving me with wonderful images against the background of a Tuscan countryside!  So many of Severus' thoughts, and words, in this chapter had me choked up at the bittersweet beauty of what he thought his hopeless love for Hermione.  And I wanted to throttle Dumbledore for walking in when he did! 

Thank you for a wonderful ride---and a satisfyingly marvelous happy ending.

I enjoyed it very much.  I will read it all in one sitting now, so I can savor it without having to guess what I forgot between postings.  Thank you for writing it, it was delicious.

I have thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Great story!!!

How wonderful! Yes, when two people who think they hate each other are thrust into extreme circumstances, interesting and unexpected things can happen.

I really enjoyed this story. I could see them playing poker in my mind's eye. Severus in Vegas would be amazing to watch.

And your description of Dumbledore's outfit when he arrived to take them back was priceless. ROFL!

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

*squee* Such a wonderful story! The witty banter was always so spot on, and incredibly intelligent. And I can't leave without saying that I loved Dumbly's costume in the last chapter – perhaps he had known of Severus and Hermione's location for longer than he would care to admit, and instead spent some time in LV as a stand-in for a Village People tribute band? Perhaps also assisting Siegfried and Roy with their stage show as well...

Hmm, I live in East Tennessee. Not an ideal place for those two, hehe. Enjoyed it!

Delightfully absurd!
"... or are you just happy to see me?" indeed! *rofl*

Ooooh, I LIKE this!  More, more!

Brilliant!

OMG, you are witty! There are too many funny lines to quote.

Can't wait for chapter 2!

Very funny, thsi is interesting.

Lovely story.

That was really fun! I liked the uniqueness of the plot and your characterizations. Thanks for a great read! 

Terrific.  Seeing a new chapter of this in my email box is worth a happy dance.  This is currently my favorite out of all the wips I am devouring.  And that is saying something, you ahve no idea.  More, please! *g*

This is really good so far, I hope more is coming soon!

Just one more chapter? Bummer. Perhaps a sequal is in the offing?

This is a fascinating story. I look forward to the final chapter. 

I always felt that with training, a powerful wizard with good concentration skills could channel his or her magical energy without the help of a wand. So your story sounds quite plausable to me.

Keep up the good work.
