That was sweet. Hot and sweet.

Umm since all he told her was that she couldnt come over because he had another woman coming by and didnt elaborate, WHY is she apologizing? She's too meek and whiny now. He had no right to be mad when he saw she'd been that upset. A$$h*%e

Sooo, does Minerva do naughty things with the picture frame? Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Got to love Hagrid! Isn't it funny how every fanfic author has their own spin on his accent?

Whats so wrong with that? It sounded pretty "good" to me!

Well at least it was as simple as transfiguring another mug. I mean, If I broke my sister's Vera Wang china, I don't even have the superglue to cobble it back together!

What in the name of Phineas Nigellus think she was there for? A job interview? *sneer* He can be a dunderhead himself at times, n'st ce pas?For a first attempt of a story that is old, this is remarkably well-written!

This was a very well written story; sexy without being raunchy.  I loved the whole thing.  I especially liked how Hermione wanted to wait for someone who loved her before she had sex, yet was so accomodating to Severus' needs at the same time!  And the way he was willing to wait for her...well, I could go on and on about each point I liked, so let's just suffice itto say "well done!"  I truly enjoyed it.Kendra

this is my favorite so far! looking forward to even more!

Such a lovely ending. Thank you for sharing.

Oh, it's over?  Well, great job! 

what a lovely story.  thank you so much and mucho smoochies

Great finale!! I loved this story!! (Oh, and I love you for giving us the names of the children...)

Wonderful story...very enjoyable.  And as always looking forward to the next one.  We will all be waiting Neelix!

Well done!  Nice ending to such an entertaining story!

So, he was trying to distract her from the fact that Lizzie hadn't done what she was supposed to?  Hee.

What a fabulously entertaining story.  Well done!!

I love epilogues because we get to see years into the future and can enjoy the triumphs and mourn the sadnesses that are a part of life.This look into Severus and Hermione's family made me smile from ear to ear.  The only sad thing was that Hermione had lost her third pregnancy.  Still they had built a wonderful life together and had three wonderful children.Lizzy is going through that awkward 14 year old stage when an adolescent can't remember to come in out of the rain, let alone finish the job for which they were hired.  And Severus knows this and takes this time to be a teaching moment.Marco is an adorable five year old and the apple of his father's eye.  "Can I stir something, Dad?"  Isn't that just like a young son to want to mimic his father?I love it that Severus and Hermione still liked to get necked and have sex on the counter.  Now that's romantic, dear.  Keeping the anticipation alive is always romantic.Thank you for posting this story.  I have loved it from the very beginning.  You really are a great writer, neelix!  Five stars aren't nearly enough.Hugs, Beth

Oh, neelix!  This chapter was beautiful.  Perfect and beautiful.  I could picture Severus as he waited for Hermione to read "the last paragraph properly."  And when he asked her to marry him, I wanted to clap and dance!I adore this chapter because it shows the absolute commitment that Severus and Hermione have for each other.  That kiss he gave her at the end of the chapter is the kind of kiss every woman hopes for from the man they love.  Well done, m'dear.  Just perfect!Hugs, Beth

What a great ending to such a fun story.  Good to know that the witch who hooked them up knew her stuff.  He really has gone soft if his little girl is sweet on a Longbottom, and he isn't putting his foot down otherwise.  And, they didn't give their children obnoxious names.  I love how all these years later they are still enjoying each other.  Hopefully the kids don't try to leave the room while it is warded... wait you said they tried last time.  I wonder what kind of excuse they use for locking them up ;)  Now, if muggles could only find a way to cast silencing spells....  Looking forward to more stories from you soon!

Oh, poor Hermione.  I can see how her imagination coupled with her fear would lead her to think Severus was cheating on her.  I was glad that Severus reined in his own hurt and comforted her.  Now what about that birthday party he has planned for her?  She is going to be sooooo surprised to see everyone!  Will he give her the ring then or later?  I'm so excited.  Squeeeee!RL got in my face, and I've gotten behind in my fanfic, but I'm catching up as fast as I can.Love this story!Beth

Poor Lizzie and Marco - wards notwithstanding, they will know the everlasting ick of their parents having recreational sex ("I can't get out!!!!   Oh God, they're shagging on the counter again!!  Ewwww!!") This has been a lovely lovely story, thank you so much for putting it up, I've enjoyed it throughly and you ended it beautifully!

Love it! I'm ready for the next story.

Great chapter!!

men!  indeed!  wonderful update.  what now?  thanks muchly
