Harry has been a very bad boy!LOL!

Thank you so much. Next chapter up soon. :)

Oh, yes!!

Thanks!

*grins back* Yup, it's him all right! I know I live in a really small town too, everyone knows everything that's going on with everyone else! :D

Thanks for reading. And he's fallen back into 'spy mode', it comes naturally to him, after all. :D

Well, you're very welcome and thank you for reading and commenting. I'm so happy that you are enjoying it. :)

Thanks, I think that is exactly what they need. LOL Hope Ginny doesn't get in too much trouble with Harry for ratting him out! :D

Oh I'm sure Ginny can hold her own with Harry.  :)

I'm glad that you 'get' where Harry is coming from, it's not that he dislikes Severus. But it's only been a short time since her break up and he fears that she's rushing in. Plus he's looking a Sev's track record, (spent years obsessed with Lily, has never had a long term stable relationship): he's thinking "is this a good idea for my best friend to get involved in, when she's already been hurt by a bad relationship?" Of course, Hermione's a big girl and can make her own choices and she will most assuredly not be happy with Harry's meddling. But he did do it from the heart.Sorry that you've had to deal personally with a similar rejection. :(  (In this case I think everyone will be happy with the outcome.) 

Now, will she stay, will she go or will she fight to get Severus?Perhaps a little bit of each! :)

I know it doesn't help much to say it, but he honestly meant well. And yes, he'll be lucky if she doesn't hex his arse!

Well, he's a man! They're all idiots at one time or another!

Awww... cheer up, it will get better, I promise!

You're right he does mean well,  and he blames himself a bit that he didn't protect her from Theo, as he had a bad feeling about that relationship from day 1.  So now perhaps he's over compensating, afraid that she is on the rebound and rushing into things. Hermione feels like you, in that it is her own business, I'm sure she'll have a few choice words for Harry when she finds out!

I know. In Harry's defense, he is worried about Hermione getting hurt again, it's not that he doesn't like Severus. He even says he thinks they are perfect for each other. Somehow I don't think Hermione is going to appreciate his  "help".

Yeah, I know Harry really is being very sweet.  He agonized over how he was saying things and ultimately Severus did understand Harry wasn't against them being together.  Severus, though, comes up with his own solutions without consulting anyone and that's not terribly helpful.  LOL.  Still, it seems to be a defining Snape characteristic.

Thanks. I think there's more to Arthur than meets the eye in the books, where he appears a bit bumbling. Yes, he does have a fascinations for Muggles; but he's also a man who's raised a family, took part in two wars, and held down a responsible job for many years. I think he'd be a great Minister.

Agreed.  He was only about half-baked in the books.

Thanks, I think since they do have somewhat of a shared past that it is easier for them get comfortable with each other now. And perhaps Severus is enjoying being around another magical person after living with Muggles for so long. :)

Thanks. I liked the relationship between Harry and Hermione. Tney stayed very close, really like family to each other.

Quite possibly. Harry does admire him after learning about his role, and Severus has had years to get over the annoyance Harry was to him in his youth.

I like a teasing Draco, compared his younger self. She will be meeting Russ very soon. :)

Agreed, a more relaxed Draco is much better and more mature.

He can't help himself, it's all those years of spying.

Yes, he does know something that she doesn't know.  Must be driving her crazy wondering what it is. :D

Our Draco is very good at his job! LOL

I totally agree, Arthur would make a great Minister of Magic. Hermione is making a few plans of her own, more to be revealed soon. :)

Thanks! I think so!
