Love the dichotomy b/w the naughty gifts & the genteel way Severus courts Hermione! ;)

That was cute! (Needs an epilogue with lots of kissing.)  Hee hee.

aawww
smoulder on dear boy, there is a ligth a the tunnel.
She will come back *sing*

HAHAHA!  Severus practicing 'smouldering' is a hilarious mental picture.  Very nice story--comforting in a way to think they have a fuure together.

Heehee. Practicing his smoulder, indeed. Very sweet and plausible.

Beautifully written and beautifully ended. Wow. Just... wow. Thanks for that!

That was fun. Smoulderingly good fun.

I must admit, when Hermione said "Ewwww" to the knickers I remembered a Plucky Duck cartoon I saw years ago where Plucky was flushing his toys (and other things--like diapers) down the commode. He'd go "Toy go down the hole" pause as water swirls "Toy come back" pause "Ewwww".  And that is how I was envisioning Hermione ewwing.

Thanks for the enjoyment.

Well at least she didnt tell him that his smouldering look made him look constipated. its a start and he has 4 weeks to improve!!

what a lovely fic! =)

LOL at the fan letters.

This was a lovely reading - and I'd love to see a sequel of it, maybe with Hermione writing to Snape this time? He won't surely burn her letter. Thank you :)

LOL.. I can just see Severus practicing.. This was a sweet fic.. :)

Sweet & fun :)

*snigger*  Thanks for sharing!

I love the way Hermione reacted to his first smouldering look, obviously it needs plenty of practice.

The smouldering was amusing, but the mirror waxing lyrical about Horace was hilarious! :)

This was charming and a little wistful and I quite enjoyed it.  I should think Severus will be quite good at smouldering once he gets the hang of it! Thank you for sharing your story.

This story gave me the warm fuzzies.  I don't really have a problem with stories where Hermione is a student, but sometimes Severus is a little too ruthless in his pursuit of her, and she is too eager to jump headfirst into a relationship with him.  This friendship developed slowly and natually, so that by the time they end the school year and it is appropriate for them to be friends, they will have a solid foundation for their relationship,  I enjoy them as both friends and lovers, so it matters not to me where they take things. 

This ended perfectly where it did, but if the muse ever took ahold of you and lead you in the direction of a sequel, I would be excited to read it.

I think Severus needs to consider getting a new mirror ...

*gagk*  the idea of a smoldering horace makes me nearly lose my lunch!  what a terrific story.  thanks and mucho smoochies

Lovely. I liked that you didn't make Snape into some great seducer and gave him a slightly self deprecating attitude regarding his mad "skillz".

Very sweet story. It would be nice to see it continue but works, as is.

I'm sure he smoulders just fine...  Sweet.

Lovely, sweet and funny, thank you!

I love it.  smouldering! 

TO ME, THIS BEGS FOR A SEQUEL. I CAN SEE THE WHEELS TURNING IN BOTH THEIR HEADS AS TO HOW TO FURTHER THIER RELATIONSHIP. GOOD JOB! JIM

Ooohhhh... I wan to see Severus smouldering.... please, someone draw him for general amusement!

This was lovely:) It doesn't really fit into a category-it's not humor, nor really romance, nor really hurt/comfort, and yet there's much more going on here than simple friendship. There's faith and hope and a dash of Gryffindor stubbornness, mixed in with just a pinch of Slytherin scheming. You've written Severus and Hermione both very well, and it's just the right length also. With just the right amount of detail. Very subtle and well-written:)

Brava!
