This is great so far.  I'm really enjoying the background action!  Haha.

They are getting far too much enjoyment out of this! :)

*Squeals with excitement*  Never in a million years would I have predicted this.  Has Snape learned his lesson in the proper way to get women to kiss him? If this doesn't have her drooling all over him, what will?

I like your Neville.  He is such a good friend for Hermione, and goodness knows she needs one right about now.

I hope there is some happiness in sight for Severus and Hermione.  In fact, they are already sweaty, might as well just get down to business, right?

Thanks for another fun chapter!

Ooo.  He's got it bad! :)

Well, that's telling him.  Problem is, who was she trying to convince? ;)

nice fantasy at bedtime, snape the rockstar,thank you so much...lol

Hermione's monologue at the end was beyond brilliant. I adored it. Only 1% of the entire HG/SS writer community can manage this kind of rant directed at Snape. Most of the stuff is written too meak - Snape can brush it off easily.
But I feel so very sorry for him - Snape's ways of showing interest and affection are so...unsuitable for poor Hermione (or any other female), it earned him this speech.
I'm thrilled for the next chapter - O LOVE your Hermione, because she is so strong, but Snape needs some compassion now :D

Ooo! Sizzling! :)

Oh dear.  Snape seems to have hit a snag, hasn't he?  Can't wait to see how he sorts this one.  Hermione has every reason not to want him to sort it, seems to me.  Wouldn't blame her if she told him "sod off" and ignored him for the rest of her life. 

Great story, by the way, really interesting.  I like David a lot.  It was cute that he got very possessive within 10 seconds of meeting Snape.

De-lish!

David is a prize berk.  She should ditch him. :)

Thisiis my second time reading this, and it's as glorious now as ever!! Everything about the way you write SSHG is wonderful - you have the characters, pacing, speech, angst, smut and fluff at exactly the right level. Plus your stories are believable! I wish you'd written more! x

Absolutely brilliant! I know you'll never see this, but WHY aren't you writing more SSHG joy for me to gorge on?! I am bereft.

I am terribly belated in reviewing this.  But, it was a wonderful end to such a fun tale.  The staff wagers were too funny.  Wonder what they'll be betting on next... how long before Severus and Hermione surface?  This has been a great read!

In my previous review I was going to say that the Joneses’ guitarist couldn’t come near Johnny Marr. Just shows how wrong I can be!

I live in Manchester and Marr once came into a box office I was working in. I had to close my counter because I couldn’t serve him; I was so star struck and probably would have told him I loved him, or something.

Thanks for writing and posting this story, it's been a really good read!

Ha, ha! I can’t believe it, Snape is a Smiths fan! I don’t know why that should surprise me; I could imagine him singing ‘Frankly Mr Shankly’ to himself as he’s sitting in Dumbledore’s office.

Brilliant chapter!

Ooooh, I like this so much! Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

‘I see,’ he says. ‘Thank you.’ And he leaves.

Could this be a bit more ambiguous?  Is he angry? Heartbroken?  Amused that she thinks she's won, but he is leaving in order to work out just what will make her want to kiss him?

She was pretty harsh with him, but she really is justified in the things that she says to him.  Can these two ever just sit down and work things out like adults?  Has she blown her chances with him?  Will I ever get to see a fight between David and Severus?

Have I told you how much I am enjoying this? Am I totally looking forward to the next chapter? Have you ever had a review with so many question marks?  Should I stop now?

Not quite sure how to sum up my feelings other than...

Loooveeeee <3

More soon? :D

Oh, Hermione!  The problem with getting the last word is you may indeed have the last word. 

Oh, I'm so glad to see you back so soon!  This story is absolutely delightful.  It has the essential Severus and Hermione thing going on, but there is so much else to love.  This is smart, and funny, and so very entertaining.  I never really considered Draco and Neville, but it poses kind of an interesting dynamic, so I'm on board with it.  For some reason, I don't really like David.  I don't know that you've written him unlikeable, just something about him bothers me.  Maybe it is just that I'm so used to her with a certain someone else.  But, the interaction at the end between Derek and Septimus (Ha!) was great.  The little voice in my head was shouting, "fight, fight, fight!"  Bring on the ass kickin' I say.  I would love to see David take Snape down a notch or two.  But then, of course, David has to be taken out of the picture at some point.  Just hopefully not by ambulance :)Loving this! Please feel free to be generous with your updating!

Such a lovely beginning. Its good to hear your author's voice again, since Caramel ended. I loved the description of the Leaky Cauldron and its denizens. More please!

This sure looks like a true HGSS...Ohhhh the angst I feel coming this way...Really sounds promising, keep it going plse?

Oh dear. Regardless of Hermione's good intentions, it sounds like Severus has already taken his original low opinion of her and cast a permanent stasis charm on it. And as he's singularly resistant to changing, I expect Hermione will have her hands full dealing with him as Headmaster this year.

A very intriguing beginning!

Promising start, a lot of problems to be seen in the horizon as in all interesting stories. Well written, looking forward to updates
