I quite like this story so far, and am very interested to see where it goes from here. How will Snape do with his creatures? What about Hermiones runes? Please update!

I love your writing style! More please?

This is such a fun story.  I like the relaxed Severus -- driven to do a good job, but not over-achieving.  I also like the idea of the castle talking to the rune teacher and I am wondering if this is why Prof. Babbling went crazy (or at least seemed too).  It is also reminiscent of the basilisk talking so that Harry could hear in book 2.  Hopefully this will turn out to be more benign than a monstrous snake.  She hasn't said yet what the castle is saying.  More dirty limiricks?

Wonderful story. I love reading about a Snape who's good with animals. 

How did I miss this chapter until now? Wonderful, as always, the downside being that now I crave for more.

Adored the interactions with Tenebrus.

I'm sure Neville would consider toad husbandry as a subtle art.

I love it. 'nuff said.

so glad to see you've updated this. A real treat as always

Love love love! That last bit had me laughing out loud. I do wonder why exactly Hermione needs a vacation, though! 

This is so much fun!! You should definitely make a speech for Severus' first class!! Lol. Will be waiting for an update!

I laughed through the whole chapter!  You have a gift for humor which pours onto the screen unfettered.

Love your writing and hope you are going to finish this adventure. I do like Snape in Hagrids post and seeing him in a different light. What is the meaning of the wax rubbing of runes? Why is the castle speaking to Hermione? So many questions left unanswered.

Hope you will be writing more soon. Thanks for sharing.

I love the way this is taking.

It has been almost a year since anyone has nagged you about this very fine story. I am waiting for Hermione and Severus to discover the meaning of the vined code. Consider yourself nagged. >:-)
