I read this story (and the one or two sequals that went along with it) before you pulled them off of SH. I Just want to say that I love Osiris and Crookshanks. They are so funny. I was also cracking up at the Buffy reference (tho I think that may be in one of the sequels). Your sense of humor is great.

i can't wait for the sequels!

finally.. i thought he'd never get around to thinking he's wrong!

yay!

Just rereading this wonderful story :)

I remember reading it before on WIKTT.

And this line made me laugh quite a bit:

'Of course it is Albus,' he thought, 'I'’m on a couch, with a beautiful woman in my arms, so why wouldn’t Albus be knocking on the door.'

I shall now continue :)  Well done, by the way.

This was an excellent story! I actually got teary-eyed on the part where Hermione found the mirror. Now I'm off to read your sequels!

This story was amazing! I was listening to music while reading this and as if on cue of the final chapters the ending song of Beaty and the Beast came on. I am a softy also, so i did, in fact, tear up. I can't wait to read the sequels!! You have talent!

that was very sweet, i can't wait to read all the sequels!!  great job!  their baby is so cute!

yup, ron had that comming to him! 

yesss! i could kiss those animals right now!  i just love happy endings! that bit with the mirror was very good too, that he had to wait to see her as a woman was so sweet!

aww, this is soooo sad! i really hope that everthing is going to be okay, osiris is just wonderful.  snape deserves to be happy!

noooo! it was going so well! stupid ron, stupid severus, grrr...

i really hope it gets fixed fast!

hahahaha! sneaky sneaky! i can't wait to see how this goes....

Still such a wonderful story to read:-))

Poor Mrs. Norris! That stinking castle is cold! Can't Osiris fix her? Isn't she also an animagus stuck as a cat or just a cat? Or is she a kneezle like Crookshanks? It would be fun if she was an animagus like Osiris. Only, she belongs to another man. She might not think those two are as funny as another guy would.  I'm very happy for Severus and Hermione, but well, I think babies and children are highly over rated. I hope they have a house elf to nanny for them.  They haven't been married long enough to give up newlywed sex. I wonder what potions they could create using Hermione's magical breastmilk? Normal breastmilk has wonderful healing properties. Just think what magical breastmilk could do! Maybe it can grow hair on cats!!!!  I wonder if there are magical lactation consultants?   Breastlady

I totally agree. Ron had it coming! He could have completely ruined 3 people's lives with his hateful words.  I would not have liked Hermione as much as I do now if she hadn't kept her word. He won't die or anything. Fred and George will be a great comfort to him, I'm sure. I wish someone would make a picture of it. Maybe I'll try sometime. Do you think TPP would post that kind of a picture? 

Git! He's lucky she loves him so much. Thank the stars for Osiris, Crooks and Harry.  And as I said once before...fuck Ronnald.  How much needless pain and heartbreak has been caused throughout the ages with thoughtless words and the speaker goes on with their life never knowing that some mean thing they don't even remember saying, destroyed or irreparably altered another human being's life? 

Crookshanks is remarkably loquacious.  He must be lonely if the is that intelligent and has no one to talk to. Does he talk to Miss. Morris? Does he talk to any other animals? Osiris should teach him ligilimency so that he can talk to Hermione. Please, I hope this doesn't drag out too long. I was really enjoying the happy part. 

I know I'm not Severus and haven't had all the bad things happen to me that he has, but I would have told Hermione how I came upon her supposed scheme.  I would have asked her what she had to say for herself.  He knows Ronnald Weasely is a little dick.  

Well, I just knew Ron was going to screw things up!  Hermione doesn't even know what's coming up. Severus should have stayed around to hear the rest if he was going to spy.  Hermione won't be able to defend herself because she won't know what happened.  

He isn't worried she will stray. He just can't imagine that every other male in Hogsmead won't find her as absolutely gorgeous as he does and won't be able to keep their grubby fingers off of her.  If I was young I would be offended, I suppose. But in my hag years I would think it was humorous.  Severus can't be perfect. He's only human after all. You don't get Coldridge in bed without some other quirk to balance it out. I got nice husband. The one that would never boss me around husband. You know why he never bosses me around? It's too much damn trouble.  So with nice husband I got lazy and indecisive husband. If I make all the decisions, nothing can be his fault and that's less for him to do.  And if he does me little favors, I won't make him talk to me. It's been 33 years, but I had him pegged in the first 10. Maked me look like a real bitch to those who don't know what he's really thinking. He's like a dog I used to have that weighed 172 lbs. If he didn't want to do something, he would just lay down and go limp.  I hope she doesn't over react.  Oh, and...fuck Ronnald! I'm sure he'll have a fit of some kind.  I hope not though. 

OMG! I would love a man to make love to me that way!  I'm inclined to think it never happens except after I see all of the elaborate flash mob proposals that I would never think a male mind could conceive, I am happy and sad to say I must be wrong.  Happy to know those men exist. Sad that I will never ever have anyone do anything so romantic as quote poetry to me as we make love. I can't get dinner and a movie out of the stick in the mud. He's tired...and the little stick broke years ago. Damn!  Quote all the Coleridge you like, dear.  This is the only place I'm ever going to get to hear it.

Being a remarkable witch is one of the reasons she is able to capture Severus' heart, when no other woman ever has since that Evans girl. Of course Hermione could master ligilemency in a week.  I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter. I hope you give details. We're probably in for a rough patch at the beginning of school as Hermione learns to master authority over teenagers.  She might be too nice at first.  

That hand on the back is very special considering who's hand it is. My tummy would be doing flips. Severus must be very sure of Hermione to put himself out like that.  He has left no question that he is interested in her as more than a friend. I'm sure she has never seen him touch the other teachers.  I wonder how he will behave around the rest of them.  Teaching her ligilimency is a risky proposition.  He may be a skill Occlomence but she is not.  Will he continue his gentlemanly ways and not look for her secrets?  I wonder what Osiris found in her head.  She isn't as simple as he thinks.  She knew he was in there.  She was very polite not to be offended by it.  Did he learn anything to tell Severus? Well, I suppose if he did, he can't tell Severus if he doesn't want to be blasted for doing so.  On with lunch!

So he didn't actually see Hermione in the Mirror.  He isn't sure who he saw is he? He didn't waste any time getting down to business.  The kiss was a wonderful surprise.  I'm glad she was able to calm him quickly with that poetry business. If he is so grateful for her understanding all the time, I hope she learns more of his most embarrassing secrets if she gets a kiss every time she puts him at ease. Hermione is playing this perfectly by letting him set the pace.  Good girl.
