Thank you for the update!  Glad you're back and hope you enjoyed your trip.It's great to see Severus and Hermione looking forward to the handfasting with Minerva's (personal) support!  Looking forward to seeing what happens next and what Hermione's mum has sent her!

I'm glad you had a great holyday. And i'm dying to know the extent of Ginny's tricky mind

Ah, love. It's going to be nice to see Sebastian happy at last.

Loving it still as always! I also hope you had fun in my home country! Where all did you go?

What a splendid update. I have a particular fondness for the scene with Minerva and Severus ("I'm delighted you've found someone who understands the hidden depths of your character.") and the scene with Hermione and Argus (who knew foot shuffling, flushed with pleasure, bemused Filch could be so endearing?). Looking forward to what's in store next for our couple.

Squeeeeeeeeee!!  You made my day with this update! THANK YOU!!  I'm glad Hermione told Ginny she wasn't going to tell her about what happened between her and Severus..That's one step towards being more mature! Can't wait to see what Severus thinks about the notes Hermione handed him, I hope he approves of it all..What is Hermione up to with Mr. Filch, A surprise for Severus?? Goodie!!  Hope they can get Ron under control after he finds out..Looking so forward to more..WELL DONE!!!

Great chapter, I am so glad that Minerva reacted that way.  Oh I can't wait to find out what they are going to do about Ron.

That was well, quite amazing.  :D

THANK YOU thank you THANK YOU

handfasting!?!?!?

Oh my God.  I stayed up util 5 am reading this.  This is awesome, absoluteky hysterical and dramatic and HOT!  Good God Woamn you are talented.  Pleae update soon

Cool, an update! Love it and I'm glad everyone is getting on boar!

Its wonderful to see another chpater.  31 I can't believe this story is that long already.  I enjoyed the chapter and look forward to more.  I hope there won't be any horrid misunderstanding the day the Handfasting is over...  But then thats kind of expected.  Loveing them together in this fic.

WHAT!  Hermione deciding to grow up?  I can't believe it (or in Japanese Shinjirarinai!).It is a nice sentiment but her subsequent plotting with her friends is not at all grown up behavior, but probably age-appropriate for the task.  Do you need to act like a child to deal with someone who acts like a child??I hope Severus will start painting again now that he is "happy."  Maybe she can don the glamour again for old times sake.  Just think.  He can have a million and one models in just one girl.I am glad you avoided the smoke.

Oh, Sunny.  You always seem to post a new chapter when I am having a bad day or real life is out of control.  I am going to pretend that there is no such thing as coincidence, and enjoy the idea that your life's goal is to cheer me up.Lovely chapter.  Good of Hermione to think of her mother.  I do wonder what she asked for.  Certainly can't be too risque.And Minerva's response to Severus was better than expected.  Of course she has to uphold the school's reputation, but I am glad that she can still be Severus' friend and be happy for him.Hermione with Filch cracks me up.  She sure knows how to butter him up, doesn't she?  I wonder what she wanted from him.  I can't remember a time I have ever looked so forward to Valentines Day!I hope you had a fabulous holiday, but I am glad to see you back and in fine form.

aggg, I want to read MORE!  Right NOW.  I got 3 notices about one chapter and I thought there were 3 chapters.  :/  Anyway, still really enjoying this story and I can't wait to see what happens next!LOL!

I was begining to think something had happened to you! Welcome back to writing. Serverus and Hermione and me are looking forward to the handfasting. Squeeee!

Yeah! She's back! And you just missed all the new fires, too. Are you sure Ginny was sorted into the right house? She's more Slytherin than the Slytherins. *grin* A four chapter update? Heaven, I'm in Heaven. ^_^

hope you enjoyed your US tour - my family went to Europe this summer!  Thanks for the update - can't wait for the next one!!!

I love Hermione's inner discussion with herself.

I jut read this all in one sitting. I absolutely love it. I can't wait for the next chapter!Enjoy your vacation.

I love Hermione's inner discussion with herself.

Wondrous.  At once satisfying and leaving me wanting more.  (Like Belgian white chocolate truffles.) 

Another lovely one.  At least they came to something viable at this time.  I think by the time a year goes by, Severus will hopefully not want to let her go and acquiesce that she isn't going anywhere either.

This is one of the best HP fanfics I've read. Really looking forward to an update!
