Oh dear, it's going to be a looooong hard few months. Snicker. At least they are on the same page now.  ~pets Blaise~

You're back!!! Hurray!It was cruel to leave us them hanging like that for so long, but another brilliant chapter goes a long way to make up for it! Is there any way of shortening the rest of the school year and getting Hermione out of her student status? Perhaps budget cuts? They've just finished a war, so perhaps a shorter school year could free up money needed for getting things back to normal? And an extra year of students must be an additional drain on those finances. Really, you would be doing the magical world a big favour by having school end in, say, April. Or March. Or, hey, how about early January?Okay, now that we have agreed that Hermione will be done with school in January, we can get these two back together where they belong!

Thanks for the update!Loved the corridor scene.  How frustrated they both are.  Will the hols bring a chance for them to get together?  I'm willing to bet her Mum would help her out if need be.Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

This might be my favorite chapter so far, BEAUTIFUL and intensely erotic. Whew! S's letters brought tears to my eyes not once, but TWICE. Great work, thank you for posting!

Oh no!  Poor Hermione, and poor Severus, and poor Blaise.  I hope things work out soon, I hate to see them all sad.  A very fun and captivating story. Thank you for sharing. 

Yea another chapter.  You know with the hols come Hermione away from school.  Will Sidney and Grace find there way back to the studio.   I am glad that issues are resolved, but Hermione and Kingsley(shudders).

*sigh*! Let's hope Christmas brings the best present of all!

Thank you so much for the update, I absolutely loved it! I find myself feeling a bit smug that Ginny gets no action, she kind of deserves it due to being so nosy about Hermiones secrets. The conclution about it being Kingsley made me laugh though, Ginny truly, realy must be clueless if that was her answear. That said, I am equally trilled that the misunderstanding about Blaise were solved as I am frustrated with the to of them not being able to be together. Hopefully you will solve the situation before the schoolyear ends.  

Oh dear!  Poor things.  They haven't even talked about graduation.  Once she's not a student any more.I love this story and haven't even been reading any others that have up dated because I want to read this one.

Sunnys back, yeah.  Hope you had a fantastic holiday. I was suprised Ginny had not figured it out, I wonder when she will.  I suspect she has a mental block as far as Severus is concerned and could not imagine him as a sexual being. Loved Blaise in this chapter.  I also expect some sort of tryst over the hoidays.  Easter holidays are approaching too.  Grace Henman is not a student at Hogwarts.

I love your story very much, please update soon!!!

Now I've caught up... and I have to wait again!Why I should have thought that things would get better once Severus knew who she was... silly me.  Of course he would deny they could be together.And then things get worse.What a tangled web this is!  Gossip flying everywhere, full of half-truths.And Severus thinks that Hermione has spurned him in favour of Zambini.  Wah!How long is it until the end of the year when Hermione graduates?  Can they wait that long?

I am so enjoying your story and I wait with baited breath each Tuesday in case there may be a new chapter! I love love love your Severus and your development of him. I always thought of him as repressed and wounded, and you've depicted his sensitive, tormented self so well. (Though, somebody needs to send him a Howler!) Keep up the great work!

Poor Hermione. Severus is being completely ridiculous in believing the rumors about her and Blaise. I hope she can work things out soon. I anxiously await the next chapter.

Oy, what a mess.  But maybe this will be a catalyst like Blaise thinks.  However, Hermione is probably right.  :(

I'm glad Hermione is frank with him about her feelings.  Whether he wants to admit it or not, he loves her, and it's killing him.

Oooh, looks like Ginny's finally figured it out.  Now, how will she come into play in getting them back together?Stupid man, believing the worst without question.  He had to have been there to hear the conversation or at least part of it.Looking forward to seeing if she writes that letter and if he reads it!PS - hope the tooth's better!

Oh dear, angst~! Great chapter!

Well I made myself wait a few days before reading the chapter to lessen the number of days I had to wait for the next one.  Wasn't too hard since 1) my computer died (I stole the hubby's to read the chappie) and 2) the hubby and I took a belated anniversary trip. I was rather surprised by Ron's reacation to his 'discovery'. He was rather blase about it (ha ha).  Of course he didn't waste any time passing the info on in typical Ron fashion. I'm okay with Ginny knowing.  When it comes to matters of love I think she's the better one to know the truth outside of Harry and the rest of her family. I even think she can help.As for Hermione, well I certainly hope she doesn't leave poor Severus shattered for long.  She knows certain aspects of his character well and he shouldn't be left to suffer.  There are far too many fangirls out there who will kick her literal butt if she does (Have Drabble Will Travel).As always looking forward to the next installment.  Hope you are enjoying your holiday!

I love this romance and intrigue drama you've created! Quite like the suffering Severus and the Blaise interaction. I didn't quite understand your reply to my other comment about ostrich time, is that a reference to somebody's head coming out of the sand? (My phone wont let me reply to a reply, so I had to start a new review.) I like how you are writing Hermione as not all-knowing and actually lacking the mature perspective that Severus has. Poor suffering sulking dilemt Severus. You've made him so yummy! I still can't wait to read how this resolves!

what a chaos can come out of this! There's more to ask than who: HOW MUCH die they hear? As it looks, not enough, but just the G-Spot bit?? What a splendid mess!

Hopefully that was Ginny, and will throw her off the scent heh.

If that was Severus, than Hermione deserves to be shuned and never forgiven for whatever reason. She knows how sensitive he is, yet she allows herself to welcome a man into her room. Her behavior is so stupid that I can only hope that Severus leaves her and she manages to grow up in the years to come. Because this is a behavior of an immature teenager. While true to herself, I cannot see her as a partner for a grown-up Severus.

It's been several chapters and I've been lacking my duty of leaving you a review. See… the thing is that after reading each chapter that makes your story better and better (just like wine… and my body after you have a couple of glasses of wine… *cough*) I find myself delighted reading all the reviews. So is a double pleasure to read your story with all the suspense and tension buildups, but also reading what all the avid reviewers write to you as well. Is like another story after the story; all the assumptions and guess, the criticisms and pleadings, the hopes and desires. Your witty answers and comments… Fabulous I tell you, just FAB!

About our very mature and responsible (but hard headed… both of them) Severus, can I suggest a little bit of magic? Maybe have Hermione work on spelling/creating 2 mirrors and self writing books that will work as a web camera. They can keep appearance but have some fun on their very guarded bedrooms/office until the time comes when there will be no consequences of doing something outside the rules of school. There is something to be said about visuals and you are very good at that.

Just a though…

PS: did I tell you I love your work? No? Well, I don’t… just kidding, I do… love your work I mean! See you in the mirror.
