He better take a lot of time. I enjoy very much SG/HG but not when she's so young.

"I take it you mean another question, Miss Granger?"   LOL! :)

She's quick on the uptake, isn't she? 

Loved this first chapter, I look forward to read more.

That's the way to Severus Snape's attention: being remarkably clever!  Can't wait to see how Hermione manages to keep his attention over the following years...

Great beginning!  Yeah, I guess he has a little time to put his thoughts in order.  LOL  :D

I'd have loved to see this written as a longer story that took the time to really develop the feelings between the two, but overall i liked it.

Frightened Hufflepuffs.  LOL.  I like that Umbridge got what's for.  Much better than in canon!

To quote an episode of The Tick: "Roof pig!  Most unexpected!"    I did not see that one coming, let me tell you...but I am glad that you're keeping Sirius alive in this.  Hermione is ruthless when it comes to those dear to her--so Severus better watch his step as she gets older!  She may just out-Slytherin him, and then who will be pursuing whom?

Wooo Whooo Okay - nice twist and really departed away from canon. Total left swing!  So now what happens?

Good for her for waiting up for him.

Arrgh!  These chapters are too short!  You're killing me here!    Can you tell I'm enjoying this story?  Poor Severus, he's not used to anyone doing anything for him without some kind of ulterior motive...he doesn't understand it, so he pushes Hermione away from him.  Hopefully they can reach a kind of friendship in spite of everything.

At least someone showed him kindness and careing attention. Of course it confuses him. Oh, but now Poppy knows - something. 

Oooooh Only Hermione would take an essay assignement and come to the reaslization that he'd had an incident with Lupin. Interesting start.

It's a fascinating idea, and the start of the story is quite intriguing. But to be honest - even though Hermione's conclusions are understandable, as is Snape's reaction in a way, they do both come rather fast and quick.
It would have  been much better, in my honest opinion, if it had taken Hermione more time to come to her conclusion, more opportunities for adding detail for her to finally make her move and confront Snape. Same goes for Snape and his sudden interest in her. I can imagine that he might be interested in a student after such a proven reasoning, but it feels out of character for him to think so soon that "she wouldn't be a child forever", as well as that he should already be fascinated by her. Intriguqed, yes, but already fascinated at the first occasion?


Author's Response: You are right.  This was one of the first things I wrote.  Thanks for the review.
