wow!  what a great start!  thanks and christmas and holiday smoochies

Wow, you mean she's floundered over books before?

Very nice!  I can see this very well.  He would enjoy her discomfort in a bookstore if she didn't know which book to buy.  *smiles - dark chocolate truffles to you - Sara

I can imagine her looking at all the Quidditch books and scratching her head! :)

How funny!  And you just know Severus was probably waiting for her to return in that archway for quite some time just so he could snark at her...Slytherins are so cute when they like someone.  Like a ten year old pulling on a girl's pigtail instead of being nice to her, a complex translation spell is probably required to equate "Slytherinese" into something the rest of the world can understand! 

Sometimes we get in a rut.  He's giving her good advice.

lol I wonder what the other book was that she was considering? Loved the drowned rat look you gave Hermione.

Yup, they really could have been a mess!  Materializing in a mountain or something.

And they lived happily ever after

Sounds like a good place to be. :)

 I never thought of Severus as a 'take a huge chance' kind of guy  but what a spetacular way to do it.  Loved the ending. I hope she says yes. 

I dunno know why I thought there was a chapter before this one?  2 and 3 both seemed to lead up to him pouncing on her - then it's as if she woke from a dream... I'm enjoying this, and it's well done. intriguing...

Oh how cool agift is that!  I can't wait to read what the Yule candle will do.

Oh he couldn't have said a more truer statement - you can't find your way on an old map... was one of my father's fav sayings. 

Oh my he's really pushing her buttons. Poor girl, shatered dreams and hoped for plans all shattered. Hope things get better? 

Sweet.

That was a lovely gift, actually.

Sigh.  Well, I hope they can talk it out.

I don't think you can plan a Weasley.  Not well, anyway.

I'm sure that would amuse Severus.

where do i sign up?  thanks and merry new year

I take it they'll use their time alone together wisely. *wink*
