He's being an idiot, but I'm sure Hermione will forgive him, she always does.

This story has been lots of fun!  I look forward to seeing Snape come around!

Was just checking to see about an update and just thought I would let you know that I can't wait for the next chapter!

I already reviewed this, but here I am again.  Sorry, it is very hard to get rid of me :)  Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your story and I hope you aren't discouraged by not placing in the top three.  I am always afraid with these challenges that authors will think that their story is not very good or worth finishing if they didn't get the most votes.  So, I am putting in my request for the next chapter.  Please!!!  I really want to know what happens!  Keep up the great work!

He's jealous to top it off?  Hermione should do something about her tendency to run off at the mouth.

I can't beleive how innane Hermione is, or how short sighted. When the letters and Howlers started to arrive you'd think the chit would have gotten a clue? She's not the sharpest in the box in this story at all. Winky's reaction to the red flyers was cute.Oh, my stars! Slughorn burnt to death? and Minerva?  Oh, what didnt Minverva just Transfigure the flames, or raise a wand? That seems so OC for her. She is a fighter alfter all?

Your story has me laughing my....(Oh! I'd better be careful what I say, huh?) LOL  Seriously, loving the story & shame on Sev! I absolutly adored the "finger licking good" scene, Im sure Sev did too - How like Hermione to be more concerned for his reputation than herself.  The conference should prove very ineresting. I just hope that it doesn't take a hyperbole toooo severe (possibly life threatning) effecting Hermione herself for him to actually, seriously, start helping fix the situation.I wonder how long it will take Hermione to figure out that it only happens when Sev is around? Will she try to avoid him? - I mean, it's not like they're joined at the hip or anything! <evil grin>Looking forward to your next update!

What is it going to take before Severus demands that Winky do whatever is necessary to end this curse.  I still think he should threaten her with clothes.  LOL.I feel so sorry for Oliver now.  Even though I thought he was a bad actor because he only wanted to get close to Hermione so he could get under her robes, I think that losing one of his dangly bits was punishment enough.  I could understand if he never wanted to speak to her again.  Curse or no curse, every time he spends any time in her company something horrid happens to him.I will have to say that I was LMAO when Hermione was seductively sucking Severus' fingers.  She was so into it, feeling her own breasts and casting "come hither" looks at him, that I wasn't a bit surprised that he felt himself "getting into it" too.  I'm glad that Hermione chose to keep her regular Sunday afternoon tea date with Severus.  It appears that the protections he had put around his heart are beginning to weaken, and not a moment too soon to my way of thinking.  I can't wait to see how events play out while they are in Finland.  I'm sure some very embarrassing things will happen, and Hermione will come off looking like a fool, but I hope nothing happens to hurt anyone.  At this point, I think Severus would have to shoulder the blame since he knows what the cause is and has chosen to do nothing to stop it.  In fact, he is leading her to voice one hyperbole after another that lead to these untoward occurrences.  OMG!  I just had a thought:  what kinds of things could happen if one night at dinner Hermione has a little too much wine and begins saying whatever thoughts run through her mind.  Umm umm umm umm umm.  Severus could end up loving' or hating it, but I'll be he will be questioning his loyalty to Lily's memory.  Great story!  I'm always thrilled when I see you have updated.Beth

Well, she'd be up shit creek without a paddle if she started using Kiwi expressions! ;)

He was surprised that she was worried about him, which is making him think.  That is good.

Amusing... but Winky created a dangerous situation.  Hopefully they will find a way to end this curse quickly.

Really too bad about Oliver. Was Poppy able to... ahem... restore him?

You know, I know Snape can be a jerk, but after all of the things that the Marauders did to him. I think he'd be the last person to take pleasure in seeing the embarrassment of others, especially when he could help in some way. Both he and Minerva chuckling over Hermione's stuffed face was immature on both of their parts.

That was a hot finger scene. And I like that she was more concerned about Severus' reputation than any embarrassment on her part.

Well, she's starting to figure it out.  I suspect this curse is more upsetting than she lets on.

Ok, I know it is not her fault, but if I was Oliver, I think that last one would have ended our friendship too.  Severus can be such a jerk.  I did like the Christmas dinner scene.  Good thing she has the curse as an excuse for her odd behavior.  Can't wait to see what happens at the conference!

Can't wait to see what follows finger licking good.

I guess Wood really wouldn't give, um, you know, for a signed broom. LMAO.

such a cute and clever tale!   I am really enjoying this.

Oh, Winky's curse is priceless! The 'bent over backwards' thing really had me in stitches, imagining the entire staff bent over backwards with a smirking Snape standing above them. I can't wait to see what other chaos that sneaky little elf has in store for Hermione!

Engaging story.The robes melted? What kind of robes were these?

Oh my goodness!  This one left me gaping at the screen.  I am shocked that (at least) Minerva didn't apparate out or use a freeze-flame charm or something!  I have to go on reading now!

Getting in over his head indeed!  Part of me loves that he is going to play with her a bit.  That same evil part anxiously awaits the point where it comes back to bite him in the ass.  How pathetic is it that each day that I read one of your chapters, I find myself sitting at work noticing every time someone utters a hyperbole.  You'd be surprised how often it happens. So far I don't think I have laughed out loud which is a good thing.  Can't have them thinking I'm loony.  Waiting on pins and needles for the next chapter.  Ouch!

Yes, what could possibly happen?  Heh heh heh...    I think that snake's going to be biting Severus on the arse before this is all over with!Minerva is bound not to reveal what she knows the Headmaster wishes to be kept secret, but she's clever--I'm sure she can manage to steer private conversations with Hermione in a direction which will hopefully encourage her to come to the correct conclusions on her own.Ah, I can't wait to see what happens next!

He's being a jerk, but I think he'll be hoisted by his own petard.

Well, now we know what is triggering all these bizarre occurrences, but no one ('cept Winky, and she ain't talkin') knows how to stop it.  And, of course, Severus would try to turn things to his advantage and have a bit of fun at Hermione's expense.  He may have a few chuckles along the way, but something tells me that events will go horribly wrong before this curse is removed.Without knowing the exact wording of the curse, there is really no way to stop it.  I hope Severus knows what he is doing.I can't even imagine what you have in store for Hermione next!Beth

In over his head, indeed.  I think he'll be sorry he didn't tell her about the effects of the curse.  But that's just me.
