Brava!  Another wonderful, romantic romp!  Thank you, Sub!  <3

I love Hermione's challenge speech at dinner. You really keep up the suspense 'til the very end.

I am always impressed by your portrayal of Hermione and Severus. How Snape can be powerful, impressive and even cause fear in others, while having insecurities about his appearance, attractiveness to the opposite sex, and whether he is loveable. How Hemione can be assertive, stand up for the underdog, strive to becme knowledgeable and appear confident in her knowledge, partially because she wants to prove she deserves to be in the WW. Despite Hermione's outward confidence she is insecure about herself.

The interplay between the two characters is wonderful. You demonstrate just how much can be communicated by a look, a touch, or a sound. There does need to be explicit sex in order for a story to be sexy.

I loved it.
