That was simply lovely, neelix.  I'm thrilled that both have come to realize that loving the other would be a very easy thing to do.  Their love making was totally hot, and they haven't even had intercourse yet!!!  Hagrid was funny!  I don't think he ever expected to see the Know-It-All and the Potions Master kissing on the grounds of Hogwarts.  Now I'm just wondering what Minerva will say when they see her.I love it!Beth

sultry, delicious and delightful! very nice update.

And... still kissin'. LOL. Sweet and wonderful.

What a place for a 1st date:)  This chapter has everything a story ought to...smut, romance, and Hagrid...as long as he is not involved with the 1st two.  Nice job!

I can see Hagrid running out of his hut and hugging Severus, how funny that would be.Hermione does learn quick doesn't she hehe. Great update.

I imagine that Hagrid won't be the only one rubbing his eyes in disbelief at seeing these two together but I'm really glad that Severus is prepared to be 'open' about their new relationship! :-)Great chapter, btw! 'He was so gorgeous, and she couldn't understand why she hadn't seen it before' ... All of us fangirls could have told you that a long time ago, Hermione! What took you so long!! ;-)

LOL.  Very nice.  I love it that they've gone to scare the children of hogwarts.

Very light and amusing chapter, absolutely loved it!  Can't wait to see what the next chapter holds.

loved it!

So much to love!!!  'There are some larger than me… apparently…’ Yep, and Hagrid covers them all in Newt level care of magical creatures.  Can't help but wonder if his 'very roomy' boxers are similar to Mary Poppins' carpet bag (would be somewhere for Hermione to keep her Banjo).  And the true wonder of being a wizard - you can accio the tissues.  Such a fab combination of the romantic and the smutty, and special guest Hagrid as well! 

Yep---still kissin'.  That was great.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I just love this playful side of Severus!

WOW...Excellent....I love it!! No. But I do need to hold you…’ he drifted off as he looked into her eyes, and he felt the weight of his words as they settled squarely somewhere near his heart. I LOVE THIS LINE...So wonderful and romantic...I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter..I am so loving this story....WELL DONE!!!

Hagrid! I always forget about Hagrid in fanfics cos he's rarely featured - I think he would be one of the one's who would accept it them as a couple the most easily.

Author's Response: lol... once he's over the shock!

You do know that my bloody computer has just spontaneously combusted after that chapter, don't you? And so have I. Best wishes, Love (a pile of ashes on the bedroom floor!) Ali xxxxx. 

Hey, you have to obey the muse!  It's like a law or something. :)

Let the muse take control always! Now Severus' turn

Hermione definantly knows how to play without really playing.  Another good chapter.  I can't wait until Severus gets his turn.

Ticky boxes are getting ticked left and right!  I knew Hermione's good intentions would go right out the window the minute they saw each other.  After all, this is Severus Snape we're talking about here!  After his giving her the most amazing orgasm she has ever had (no fucking required), it's his turn.  OMG!  Dare I hope?  I'm sure Severus is hoping, and may his hopes be realized!More.  I want more, please!Beth

Isn't funny sometimes when two people realize that their friendship has come to mean so much more that they find themselves a little lost for words.  It's almost like each is afraid to say too much for fear of spoiling the moment or jinxing the fledgling love.I was happy when Severus took her to the library so they could see the lovely view.  Just the change of pace I think they needed, and their gentle kisses were just right to set the mood.I was pleased with the way they talked frankly about how each of them felt about this adventure they were embarking on, and I loved Severus honest answer to Hermione's question about whether or not he thought he loved her.  All I could think about was Valentine's encouraging words to Hermione when she told her that Severus was her soulmate but that he felt he didn't deserve love;  'Just be yourself. He will get there in the end.’I love this beautiful story!Beth

I'll have whatever your muse is having!  Is it a little warm in here, or is it just me?  *fans self*  Lemony delicious.  :D

Oh well...I wouldn't be able to wait either.  Severus' turn............yummy!

Well, it sounds like being a bad girl definitely has its benefits in this situation... I think Hermione and Severus got their confirmation that they are indeed sexually compatible. ;-)

Wow, hot!!! Great work! More, please!!!

A lovely little soul mate story.  It is a wonderful thought. And our heroes are certainly deserving. I liked the fact that they have been in each others lives for many years. Almost as if Fate did have a hand in keeping them together.
