And wow is right!

  wonderful

SQUEEE!!!!  I am so excited.  Now we are getting somewhere!  And I love your characterizations.

Took him long enough.  Another good chapter.  I want more please.  I really wonder what he is starving for.

"And with a sudden realisation, he knew."  OMG is this the completely most romantic-ist moment in SSHG ever???  I think the world may have turned pink, and grown fluff, and enveloped itself in a giant hug and given a happy sigh...and swooned.

I could also really fancy myself a couple of crumpets, having had them brought to mind by the chapter title, but I can't decide whether I want cheese or jam.  And given that its half past eleven at night and the nearest open shop is about 20 miles away, I fear my yearning shall remain tragically unrequited.  The crumpets are the Lily to my Snape... *sigh*.  Next time try to use food I have in the house!

Actually very beautiful.  I would have probably have had him experience a little more drama while he was reviewing his time with Hermione - though how you wrote it worked very well. 

Now it all makes sense!  I think Ms. Passiflora definitely did the right thing by telling Hermione first.  I'm not sure if Severus could have coped if she had done it the other way round!This continues to be good and I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes ... :-)

Excellent!  That went much smoother than I anticipated.  Now, let them move on to DESSERT.

Aw! He accepted it! I like the idea of him nodding politely at her even when she was in school, despite her being Harry's best friend.

Author's Response: I cannot honestly think he was horrible to her all of the time, especially when she was naturally gifted as a student!

Wonderful, wonderful update, I am so glad Hermione made Severus see that he could be loved. I guess Valentine Passiflora made a vise move by preparing Hermione, if she had shown any sign of shock, Severus would most likley have taken it as a sign of rejection. Again, loved the chapter:-))

Nice chapter, but wasn't Hermione at least a little surprised to see Severus there?  Or is he the only one to be shocked?

Fantastic beginning!  Hermione is right; Severus needs someone extraordinary, and she may be just the someone he's itching for.  :D

Tell me there is more! I need there to be more. Must I beg? I will beg: Pretty Please??

It may be an old story, but it's fun already.  Can't wait to see what happens.  Silly Severus and Hermione.  Can't see what's literally right in front of their sometimes prominent noses.

interesting start.  this seems too good for such an early effort.  thanks so much

Ah Neelix...good, another story from you.  Always interesting reading.  Waiting patiently for the next chapter.

I LOLed at your description of Lulu! Can't wait for more.

Once again, you've reeled me in, hook, line and sinker!  The beginning of this really made me smile, especially your description of the whore & Severus' boredom towards her - could so see that scene!And I loved the way you described Hermione's frustration about 'dates' and wanting more than just offers of 'it'!  Been there, done that and worn the tee-shirt (many, many years ago I might add!) before I met my lovely hubby of 23 years now!  I hated the 'shallowness' of the dating game.  I could really have done with that Apparation point in the ladies loos that Hermione had, I can tell you!In my usual way with your stuff, I now find myself desperately waiting for the next update of this!  More, more, more (and quickly, please!) :-)

I loved this first chapter, I am a sucker for stories where Hermione and Severus work together/know eachother, are on friendly terms, both looking for that someone special without realising that the someone special is rigth there in front of them:-))I am very much looking forward to read more!!!

Sounds like a great start. I'm looking forward to more!

love it!  looking forward to more!

Oh this looks intriguing.  Can't wait for more!

Well, I must say for an older story it's a very entertaining read so far.  I especially liked the description of Lulu's breasts, "their nipples like two cherries atop a pair of large, round iced buns."  Like their working relationship so far, and look forward to see what happens next!

Oooooooooo, I can't wait to see what happens next, when Severus realizes he really want's Hermione and vice versa!  WELL DONE!

Ooh, I LOVE this so far. I want more more more now now now. (Not that I'm the impatient sort, you understand.)

Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! The next two chapters are queued.
