Can't believe Severus wants her to be a guinea pig or lab niffler!  And she spilled her guts to Umber?  You have done a great job characterising him as a greasy, opportunist.  What will he ask Severus?  I'll stay tuned to find out!  Nice  continuation.

What a pleasant way to spend the afternoon!  And great dialogue between the two.  But has their act been discovered as false?  Nice continuation.

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Nice little twist there. Good job.

Love the interaction between Severus and Hermione. Nicely done.

Oh my God!! NO WAY! lmao... What a sleeze. And let me guess, he's going to ask Severus abouit his role during the war - and about his feelings for Hermione. Nasty man, isn't he? Just brilliant stuff!

Holy cow!  I didn't see that coming.  Oh, I do hope things go ok.  I don't guess I see how this benefits Umber, if infact he is planning to do the same with Severus as he did with Hermione.  But I don't remember from earlier in the story, and am too lazy to go back and look.  Does he have a specific issue with them?  Really liked this chapter.  Umber is such a sleaze, I was surprised that Severus let her go to his room without being there disillusioned or something.  I really want to know what happens, but I guess no amount of begging will get the next chapter out before it is due to arrive, so I will save my breath :)

Cue the ominous music!  Teeheehee, I'm so anxious to see what happens!  I'll be waiting patiently for the wrap-up.  Nicely done.

Very nicely done.  I can't wait to see what happens to these two!

Teeheehee, Sevvie, you old charmer, you.  That's something you don't hear often.  ^_^  Nicely done.  Off to the next chapter!

Hrmm ... I wonder what they have up their sleeves ....

Nice continuation; good work!

Very nicely done.  Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Oh, holy shit!  I can't wait to see what Severus will do up there.  And Hermione didn't have a chance to warn him. 

I must say I didn't quite like the turn this took. I was hoping they would stop him before this.

So now we see what Severus thinks of Hermione.  UMBER you are going DOWN!!!!

Was not expecting that one! Wow. No wonder he was so eager to agree to her Wizarding oath. I wonder what he will say about Hermione? Hmmm. I look forward to the next chapter. Great one!

Now, that was a nasty trick. Poor Sev. :)

Evil, evil cliffhanger. Only one question, why didn't Hermione tell Severus how the potion worked? I thougth they were in this together, while I can understand that Hermione would like to keep her feelings for Severus hidden a while longer, why didn't she tell him that the potion makes you spill everything?
I hope Severus have a trick up his sleeve though!

Oh, my gosh! I knew he was going to do that when he vowed he wouldn't ask Hermione anything! Who is this guy, and what are his true motives? Does he just want to embarrass Severus, and possibly Hermione, or does he want to force them together? Gah! Can't wait for next week. You guys are evil/

A very cute start to the fic.  Can't wait to see where it goes!

Oh the twist!  He took a wand oath to her about not asking her about Severus, but she didn't realise that he'd be the one called forth!  Can't wait to see what he says - poor guy!

How charming and comfortable this relationship is shaping up to be.  Nice to know that Severus has friends in the larger world.  Makes him a touch more human.  And Hermione didn't go to see Umber, the slime ball.   Good for her!

Oooh! Severus had to make sure his overtures won't be rejected. I think he is falling for her.

Oh! Teaming up to crush a phony! I can't wait to see where this is going.
Livvy

A very nice introduction! I already am hooked.
Livvy

Well done!  Very convincing indeed on their little "tiff" - enough for Umber to want to experiment on her.  Or was all his leering just a ruse of his to try to seduce her?  Maybe its just me overexamining it, we'll just have to wait and see...

Love the real coffee moment they share.  Can't wait to read more!
