Oh, clever, clever Hermione! She out-Slytherined the master himself. LOL

She didn't even bother to deny. Good move! And I'm sure if she was presented with benign, she'd be terribly disappointed. We'd all be terribly disappointed!

Love the PS. Gives me the delicious shivers!

Oh dear. She's given it all away. I've no doubt he'll make the most of it. This is going to be fun!

"If the family is making more family, you is staying out of it."And if the Potions lab's a rockin', don't come a-knockin' ...Hilarious! Thanks for writing!

Now I know what "less than benign" means.  And I like it!Oh, the problems a house elf has trying to do her job and not get into trouble at the same time.  At least she won't be moving any more cauldrons.  Beth

Forty centimeters of parchment this was not.  Still I'm glad that she reiterated that she cares for him, and that she will meet him.  His double negative confused not only Hermione, but me as well.  Hummmmmm... is "less than benign" good or bad?  LOL!  I'm sure that Snape will make her work for the answer to this one.Beth

I assure you that my feelings for you are far less benign than “like.”  Why, whatever can he mean?  And what will Hermione think when she gets his reply?  Will she even remember that she wrote the letter or know that it was delivered in the middle of the night?  Will she meet him in the staff room?Inquiring minds want to know!Beth

OMG!  Two empty bottles of elf wine, you say?  Well, perhaps the day will come when Hermione can get past the ribbing she is sure to get.  And hopefully Leaky won't be in too much trouble, after all she was just being helpful.This has all the hallmarks of a rib-tickling romp!  Beth

"If the family is making more family, you is staying out of it.”Oh, dear Leaky, you need not punish yourself so.  They are just doing some vocabulary adjustments (redefining the word "benign").  And perhaps rearranging a tonsil or two in the process.  Just professor work.  Lock the door behind you, there's a good elf.Nicely done, ladies!

Don't be benign with her, Severus! 

Oooooooooooooo, what's "less beningn" in his twisted mind mean?  Demonstrate, Oh Master!!

Oh, helpful Leaky!  I'm sure Professor Granger will be ever so happy you've completed the task at hand!  Can't wait to see how Professor Snape reacts, I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding.

Oh fabulous story. I loved it. Especially the ending. Perfect reading just before bed :)

Excellent! Now, what about the cauldrons? :)

Hehe. Devious woman! :)

Who's he trying to kid? :)

LOL.  Guess who's going to be blushing! :)

*giggles* Of course negociations between the two couldn't end another way. Ladies I bowed to you.

I love that girl. I'm almost disapointed that she made it short for once.

How do you manage to post more than one chapter at the time is beyond me, but as it is I don't care. I'm too happy for that. Now let's see how embarrased she will be, or does she even remembered have written the letter in the first place?

This first chapter got me enthusiastic and dancing on my couch where I was actually resting. I will await the rest of the story very religiously. Thanks a lot to you girls for this partnership that I'm sure will be a fantrastic reading adventure.

Really Cute!!!!


I totally laughed!


:)

Adorable! The strike throughs in Hermione's first letter were priceless. Thanks!

Ahh, she held up well. Nice volley.
