Just another SS/HG shipper wanting to make the world a Snapey place.
Reviews for Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages
Oh, these lemons were more than okay. In fact, they were downright tasty. Mmmmm.... chocolate and Severus. *munches on a cashew roca*
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks! I always get nervous when I post something lemony.Pass some of those chocolates over.
See, I knew I waited to read this for a reason. As of today, I can finally eat chocolate again (Lent), and all that talk about chocolate and hazelnuts - a deliious combination - would have been entirely too tempting. Throw Severus into the mix, and I would have been breaking my fast for sure. Even better, I have the added bonus of being able to read more after I click 'submit'. Great chapter!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Oh dear, then I'm glad you waited too. I wouldn't have wanted to be the cause of your temptation.I'm glad you liked the chapter.
*kicks evil cliffie* ... *sticks out tongue and raspberries evil cliffie* ... *gives up on tormenting evil cliffie, and kicks author's computer chair*Don't make me raspberry you!~Lotm

But I like rasberry's! You know, I really didn't mean to leave it there, but the chapter was getting too long and it felt like a good place to stop. Next chapter you'll find out what's going to happen though and I'm working on it this weekend so you'll have it soon.
Okay now you are being cruel. One cliffie I can cope with...Just. Two, well I just feel so in need. In other words, I need to know what happens to Ginny. Please update soon.Best wishes.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be so cruel. But, I am working on chapter 15 and if all goes well, I should have it ready to post by the beginning of the week.You'll find out what happens soon, I promis.
Like the quote. Nice chapter.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the chapter. Which quote did you like best? I tried to put something that might corresponde to each of them.

“In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons.”
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Oh yes, that really is a neat one. I found a site with some quotes and seeing that Lucius lost his son I thought it would suit him to say it.
Well Lucius is about to get what he wants but not under those circumstances! I wonder what plan they'll come up with? Great chapter and I'm on the edge of my seat for the next one.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Yeah, that's not exactly the way he pictured his first time with Ginny being. But you never know what will happen. I think between Severus and him, they can come up with something interesting.Thanks for reading! I'm hoping to get another chapter done this weekend so I may be able to post early next week.
Haha, loved the salt thing! Great prank, I can just imagine a little Snape doing that, ha ha 
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, sometimes experience is the best inspiration. Thanks for reading and taking the time to review.
Well I never saw that coming. I hope Lucuis gets to her in time. Loved the hex.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, Fred and George need to learn not to mess with Ginny.I thought a little twist might be in order here. I should have another chapter up soon though.Thanks for sticking with this.
*purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs* They were good, actually!~Lotm
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks! I've read your stuff, so I take that as a great compliment.
Two brilliant chapters. Also one of my all time favourite deserts, is chocolate and hazelnut sponge. Adult version, Severus tasting to chocolate, Hermione of Hazelnuts both covered in cream?????????????????. There could be a rather naughty PWP in that thought.Best wishes.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Chocolate and Hazelnut go so well together. I love love love it!I like that idea! Hmm...I do plan on some lemons here. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapters.I'll have more soon.
you said your not good at writing smut. i think you are i read what you had hermione and severus do in the snapes go on holiday it was good. if you want to make it better think about what you do with your lover. and what your lover does to you and writer it down its what i do when i smut. don't sell yourself short your a good writer.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you very much for the pointer and your comments. I know its dumb of me to think this way. I mean, I love reading smut! I just don't get what this hang up of mine is to write it. I guess I'm always just afraid it will sound like some cheap romance novel smut if I write it. LOL, I don't want that!I will however give it a shot.
Response from harrypotterfan2005 (Reviewer)
thats the spirt
Thank you for the update. I must say the image of little severus and hermione running around as 6 year olds was quite endearing. I wonder if the chocolate hazelnut will find its way into the potion for riddle... Delayed reaction might be handy for the person who doses him surviving the experince... I look forward to more soon. Thank you for writing
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter, and I'm pleased that you are enjoying the story.Thank you.
I'm nuts about chocolate (and hazelnuts) too, LOL 
glad S&H are back to their adult selves, even though they made adorable and devious kids. Virtual Easter candies & colored eggs for the author!!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
And I'll gladly take those virtual candies too!Thanks for reading the chapter. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great chapter and I've got ten to read straight after! I'm such a lucky girl.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
And soon you'll have 11. I'm getting ready to post that one soon.
Consistently wonderful! more PLEASE? *Begs on bended knees* 
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I'm happy you enjoyed this chapter.I'm taking a break from work tomorrow, so hopefully my muse will be hanging around. You know how lazy men are.
WAAAAAAAA!! *sniffle!* Want smut!! Must have smut!! *bats eyelashes* ...Surely a nice little interlude chapter wouldn't be amiss?--Don't make me whinge!! *petulant footstomp*More, please!~Lotm
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I hate writing smut, because I don't think I'm any good at it, but I'm going to attempt it here.I'm not sure which chapter but I had planned on having some SS/HG and LM/GW smut in this story somewhere.I've got somebody lined up who's going to help me write the lemons, so hopefully it will all turn out well.Thanks for reading. I should have more up soon.
To short...argh, need more...........................soon please. 
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Ack! It was 10 pages on my computer. I have to say, each time I start writing the chapters keep getting longer and longer.I've started chapter 11 though, so hopefully I can have that one up soon.
Evil Evil Evil person you!! Nooo don't leave me dangling! *Prod, Prod, Poke, Pinch, Poke* (stimulatung muse) Right now madam, if I don't get the next chappie i'll sulk and pout and I'll get Hagrid to sing a love song while drunk and wearing a tutu with wellies and a top hat with his hair in pink ribbons! So there! In other words, Please may I have the next chapter soon? *cute smile and blushes* LOL xx
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Hagrid heh? My muse is a chocoholic. Go figure, he takes after me.I'm working on Chapter 11. I started it this morning, so hopefully when I get home my muse will be dancing around in his own pink tutu and help me out a bit.I may even try to see if I can get away with doing a bit of writing here at the office.
Ah, back to good! Yeehawww! Can't wait to see what's next.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Ugh, hopefully I can get some time to write this week. Damn, why can't I have a trust fund or something that I can live off of so I could just write.I've still got a bit more to go on this.
“Potter, do you mind? If you want to have a wank, do us all a favor and excuse yourself,” Severus said evenly.hahahahaha!!!!!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Poor Harry. He had no idea how nasty little Severus can really be.
haha... plotting, devious six year old severus! I Love it! teehee
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
You know, he's at his best when plotting some evil deed to do to someone. Especially Harry or Ron.
Hahahaha. The pillow fighting was too cute!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I could see them in my mind. Her throwing herself on the bed and him complaining about the possibility of broken ribs.He's so cute.
Hahaha... tweedle dumb and dumber.. Lovely. My grandma used to say that about my two cousins. lol
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I think everybody has a tweedle dumb and dumber in their life.
