Interesting development, so to speak! :)

Aha! I guess it would be too convenient (not to mention outlandish) to have Snape gushing with carefully-disciplined admiration in that picture. Great going, can't wait for the next chapter :)

Now, I really thought that picture would show something else. Ah, well. I loved that he told Minerva not to yell at her. A little squee there.

Well he is bound and determined to fight her every step of the way which is what you stated in the first story.  Good chapter by the way.

She really should destroy the photo.  And I can see why Minerva was stressed, but Hermione did bring up a good point.

Oh, I was so afraid the picture was going to reveal something trite and totally expected like Snape looking at her longingly with soulful puppy dog eyes. What you wrote is so much better! Thanks for the chapter, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the story!

Yay!  I'm SO excited for this update, very thrilling, except for this bit:Professor Snape pinched the bridge between his brow and groaned at the same time Minerva yelled, “Thank you for the history lesson, Hermione. We can always count on you to give answers to questions no one has asked!” “Do not scream at her,” an eerily cold, silent voice commanded. Stunned, Hermione turned to Professor Snape again and muttered, “T-thank you, Professor—” He eyed her callously and interrupted, “And I don’t believe I was speaking to you, Miss Granger.” “Enough!”Which, to me, reads as though there are two Snapes: One chastising her and one defending her.Am I reading it wrong?

The ministry strikes again.  I cannot wait to hear what the picture Hermione just took shows!  Fantastic continuation of a great story!  :D

Great start! I'm looking forward to more. But I have one question: How long after the final battle did this take place? Because if it's only five months after the final battle, you're in the wrong year...

That's clever, incorporating the MLC into this story! :)

This seems much darker than the previous one. How can he fall in love with if he is so angry with her? I suppose I'll have to wait and see.

I am so glad you decided to do a prequil to Bound to Happen. I love gettin the details of how they fall in love.

I can't wait to see what happens when Hermione gets the photo she took of Snape!

Oooh! I'm so excited to see a sequel!

Oh sweet Lissa battler, please, please update. You have woven my mind into this story and it won't let go. I feel anxious not knowing a little more where and how this will go. I am soooo not above begging and empty bribe attempts. As of yet, holding my breath has gained me nothing but dizziness and a hypothermic complexion. I entreat you, please can I have another chapter. Please, sir, I want some more. I crave it actually. And for that, I completely blame you. You are far too skilled and twisty for me not to have been lost to the machinations of your brain.Again...please.~Mia 

Ouch, burn. Right up there with the toothy comment of the past. I am off to devour the rest of your writing regardless of the state of my house. You are heroine laced chocolate fudge ice cream.~Mia

I am inexplicably happy when reading your stories and am dreading coming to the next chapter because I wish I could just read on through. Hell, if I could I'd simply crawl inside your head and live there in your storytelling portion of grey matter until I was exhausted.~Mia

There was good reason for the continued apology from the last book about how awful he was at courting her, wasn't there. I'd figured that he'd been clumsy or hot and cold or stupidly jealous of Weasley. Short sighted and foolish of me really. You surprise me in delightful ways with this every time. Thank you.~Mia

Painful. But I find myself chuckling about it too. Thank you for not going the sappy route with the photo. I'm sure you could have easily done it justice, but the loathing and dissappointment threw me. Didn't even expect it. Which made me smile a whole lot. Thank you, as ever.~Mia

Utterly and inexpressibly gorgeous. I think you even managed to surpass the bath scene from the previous story. This is just devastatingly beautiful. You have a talent for angst that flows so gently and discreetly that one os hardly aware of feeling sad for the fierce feeling of joy accompanied by reading such finely written text.Thank you.~Mia

I just finished reading this from start to finish. Both parts....I can't wait to see what happens next.

Wow, I just discover both parts of this story and I am completely and utterly hooked! This really is fantastic writing and your plot is wouderful--original, smart, fun--I am not even sure how to express my excitement at discovering this story. Absolutely fantastic, makes waiting for Vain Wisdom to be updated much less painful :) I really cannot wait to see how this develops! Cannot heap enough praise! Update agains soon!

Have I told you that I LOVE THIS STORY! I think I"m going to print it out and put it on my shelf when you're done.

Every once in a while, I pop in to re-read this fic as it is written to date. It's certainly on my list of "most wished for updates". I hope you might give us more soon!

Another great chapter!

Isn't our Dear Sevvie a tad little bit jealous? He doesn't have to worry to much as I'm sure Hermione will save him from Madeline by accepting his marriage proposal.
