It's a good thing Hermione took the lead, or they would still be stuck longing for eachoyher from afar.

Very sweet, deb.  Love the way she took the ball into her court and smashed it over the net!:)

I love it!  Anytime Hermione and Severus get together, I'm a happy fangirl, and this has made me very happy.BethPS—Now I'm off to read The Ministry Ball.  8^)

Aw, love it.  I'm such a sucker for a happy ending.

That was really quite fascinating.  I loved it.

Very nice. It took a glamour to get her to approach him? Or wuld she have anyway? Sitll the interaction was so smooth and seemed so real. I even laughed at Ron's and Harry's reactions.

Great story! <heads off to find the other verson>

Darn those Ministry-sponsored balls with mandatory attendance! But at least they generally insure that Severus gets some nookie, so he ought to be more grateful...   I enjoyed this story--it was light, it was fun, with just a tiny dash of angst to bring out the overall flavor.  I loved that part near the end:"I didn't see that coming," Harry said to Ron."Yeah... I mean, they share an office and all..." Ron muttered.That was great!  And no matter how you take it, with the boys either being genuinely clueless or with them attempting wry sarcasm, it's hilarious.  Great work!

delightful, my deb!  loved harry and ron.  thanks and mega smoochies

Simple. Sweet. Lovely. 'Nuff said.
