Thanks to you, I see 'slightly improbable moustaches' everywhere these days. (Welcome! I'm glad you're posting over here.)

What a terrific first chapter.  I love the characterizations of Hermine and Snape.  I'm really looking forward to future chapters!

looking very much forward to witness the banter between Hermione and Seevrus. Love this

Sounds like Snape made a pretty penny off Skeeter while keeping her at a clueless distance. Brilliantly done. I think Hermione's really got her work cut out for her writing Snape's side of the story, but I look forward to seeing how his tale unfolds. Great start, BTW. :)

Loved the stonewalling of Skeeter. I hope this is only the first of many chapters. ^_^

Fascinating beginning!  This is going to be amazingly intriguing!

Poor Hermione and Snape.  Both of them seem to be unable to express their true feelings, and possibly too caught up in their own feelings to read the other's properly.  Hopefully the next chapter will give them a chance to lay them all out.  I'm really enjoying this story and I look forward to more!

How sad. All that work and now she feels left out. ^_^

This is wrenching--Hermione's reaction to his sufferent as she comes to realize his humanity, her slow realization of her feelings for him, and then her voluntary suppression of herself in his favor at her own book launch and resulting loneliness all lead me to hope that her sensitivity and hard work will be amply rewarded.  It's interesting the way just working with him has already led her to a better sense of proportion, as evidenced by her more concise articles for Bertie and her greater appreciation of time with her friends.  But I can't imagine (as she is clearly imagining) that Snape will be interested in tall giggly women in glittery robes.  I look forward to your next! 

I think that when Hermione didn't show up that one Sunday afternoon because of Luna's birthday, Snape felt slighted. It had become a habit after all. She should have let him know that she wasn't coming. And his aloof attitude was because he had begun to feel something for her and assumed that by not coming on Sunday, she wanted to put some distance between them. Typical lack of communication and total misunderstanding. Hopefully they will eventually straighten things out.

"It was impossible to write it as he had told it; it was all too coloured by her personal experience. Instead, she chose to write it as she had heard it, the story of a man in an impossible position. A man who somehow balanced petty cruelty with great nobility."This is brilliant!  It's exactly the way I would think Severus would have wanted his story told.

Wonder why Severus was acting so weird that day? And also, now that its over, how are they going to interact since Severus seems to want to ignore her. I hope Hermione doesn't take the first step in contacting him eventhough it would be in her character, I guess, to take the first step to find out what happened and how he is..

By the looks of it, the evening turned out quite the success. Hermione put a ton of heart and soul into the biography - and lost hers in the process. I hope that Snape has a good reason for acting like a jerk that one particular day, and doesn't forget her in the lurch.

Just started reading your story, I had to laugh when I read that he has blonde hair and a beard.  You would never think that Snape would look good as a blonde but our dear Mr. Rickman is a natural and I must say no matter if his hair is blonde or black and his eyes are hazel or dark gray he is scrumptious.  I'm enjoying the beginning and looking forward to more.  :-)

I love this! More pretty please?

Loved this on ff.net and glad to see you begining to post here! Rawr! You are amazing! Just read your time turner fic and omg... Please, please, please write more? Please?

What an intriguing setup! I love Snape's disguises, and I particularly adore the comment you made about Lupin's appearance being deliberate in canon. I have never quite thought of it like that before, but once you pointed it out, I couldn't stop thinking about it… I can't wrap my head around why Lupin would wear such shabby clothing when the ability to transfigure clothing seems to be a small feat accomplished by most first years -- unless, of course, it was a calculating disguise meant to endear him to Harry ("poor, innocent, sweet" Lupin).

… I do look forward to Snape's interview! I wonder how personal and private he is willing to delve.

What a lovely story!  I really enjoyed your characterisation and the way that the plot gently unfolded.  Thank you for writing it! Pxx

I enjoyed this immensely! It's sweet in just the right way, and your Snape and your Hermione are brilliant. Wonderful story!

So beautiful, I really loved this! Laughs and tears, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. THANKS! POST MORE :):):)
