TERIFFIC FIC HERE. I WOULD LOVE ONE MORE CHAPTER, TO SEE WHAT HG WRINGS OUT OF LM FOR HER PAY RAISE, I BET HE WILL LOOK LIKE A WELL USED DISHTOWEL, IF I KNOW HER !

Lovely, lovely story.  Quite wonderful for my mood while flu's going through the house.  Thanks!

Oh no!  I didn't notice that we were at the end.  What a way to go out.  I am so glad that she was able to give him a second chance, and that he didn't mess it up like he predicted he would.  Lucius, Severus, and Hermione all got what they wanted and everyone is happy.  Yay!  Excellent story and I think it fit the prompt perfectly.

Well, I feel a little bad for Severus.  He really does have feelings for her; it just started off poorly.  I feel really bad for Hermione.  She just continues to get hurt, over and over.  Lucky for Severus she is the forgiving sort.  And for maybe the first time, I am glad that Dumbledore is meddling.  Otherwise, it could be forever before they get anywhere in either making up, or having it out.

Wonderful story and excellent take on the prompt!  And how nice to get the final chapter on Severus' birthday.

You know, I've been waiting for this all week-end. And I received the notifiation just when my lunch break was over today. I've been frustrated all afternoon because I knew there was the last chapter available and I had so much work I couldn't spare five minutes to read it. And now *happy sigh* If you feel like writing a short epilogue or sequel, p;esae don't refrain your creativity!

My goodness, that was a good take on the prompt! Didn't know it existed! Doesn't really matter though, what makes up a good story is what's in YOUR imagination, what's in YOUR heart. It doesn't matter how you get started, or who or what takes you there - it's YOU. And you did a commendable job! Adorable. Through and through. (Though if I ever met a person like Hermione that wrote out schedules for downtime I'd tell her where to stick it!)

Lovely, sorry to see it end. Glad the misunderstanding was short lived. I had been thinking veritaserum - this was better. THANKS for writing!

wonderful, and a perfect place to end this tale.. of course i want more, I'm greedy but It was perfect

Oh dear... oh dear...

Awwww Hermione and her tender heart. I'm sure when she sees him that will broke her resolve.

loved the interfering portraits. and adored the 'stupid' severus...

more please

How sweet of Albus to aid when in need if not when asked; poor Severus, crying and hear broken as well...

LOL! And talking to himself while writing to boot! We women are much better drama queens. We don't talk to ourselves about what we're writing, we just cry and keep telling ourselves how stupid we are!

Alright, alright. Time to fix things up!

No, no... you're quite safe author... as long as the next chapter is swiftly on its way =P

Aw come on don't leave us hang 

perfect.. now if he'd told her and actually appologised all would be well.. now? is there any way out?

more please the next button is missing again

From the beginning of this chapter I was expecting something like that. Now I long to see how much grovel Severus will have to do to obtain her forgiveness.

Aw come on don't leave us hang 

Oh man... that is what happen when you listen to conversations or read text messages you shouldn't! Poor Hermione...

As I was listening to the conversation, I knew it was too incriminating for her to not be listening.  Severus really should have come clean earlier.  I can't blame him for not doing it, but it would have made things easier.  It sucks that what started out as a ploy to retain a top teacher, turned into something more personal, but it is what it is.  He is going to have a serious mess to clean up.  Yikes!

I love when Severus and Hermione fight in a we're-mad-but-we're-headed-for-a-snogging-session-anyway sort of way.

I am glad that he agreed to dinner with the Potters.  Even if it was to make sure she wasn't alone where Harry could fill her head with nonsense.  :)

Well yes, something had to break eventually. She's too anal to see what's right in front of her nose, and that wasn't good. Color coded schedules, indeed. Life's a bitch when you try to control every aspect of it - and she apparently hasn't learned that. She was too nice with him.

Okay, okay, well I do feel badly for her. And I do hope she kicks Severus' butt.

I love this story but then I have loved all your stories and I am so looking forward to the next chapter being posted.  I do love Severus Snape.

Love the idea of recitig 12 uses of dragon blood... cute couple and great developments. I am so happy he went after her and they had a conversation. AWESOME!
