Ron still doesn't get it and is Severus forming a plan (or at least an outline of how to handle Hermione)?

That's right,Severus, do what the nice kitty says. :)

Sad 
She tries so hard to make things nice for everyone and is castigated for it.  The Cruise Director doesn't get to take the cruise and Hermione doesn't get to have a worry-free, self-centered week.  It seems like she is OK with that, but it would be nice if she could be appreciated for her efforts.

The (Malfoy is gay?) conversation that Harry has with himself is priceless.  He will not be able to think of anything else.  Severus has no idea what sort of monster he created with that revelation.

Hermione needs to make it clear to Viktor that he doesn't stand a chance with her.  There are probably a million other girls who would jump at the chance to be with him.  On the other hand, I do enjoy a jealous Severus ...

I'm kinda dying to see what Harry does with that info... *wink* Loooooved Severus's jealous outburst (and Hermione's confusion).

Interesting that she's not into Krum.  Severus probably doesn't even know why he's perturbed, and Harry has just emerged from Clueless City! Great chatper.

Jealous Snape.  Gotta love it!

Bet Severus was wishing Harry was so complacent in class.

Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Jealous Snape is always fun to read, =)

I have to admit I loved thic chapter.  My chuckles and guffaws elicited strange looks from my husband and my dog, but i don't care.  I needed a good laugh.  I did find this sentence both sad and beautiful:

The real, imperfect Lily Evans had been a far more interesting and complex person, and by taking the hand of her son in friendship, he had finally allowed her to assume her proper place in his life … as a memory of his past.

The last few chapters have made me laugh.  I believe, however, there was a typo.

I think that in the following you meant to write against potter instead of again potter.

‘But it’s the Most Charming Smile Award issue,’ he pointed out reasonably. ‘Surely you don’t imagine I fail to monitor my progress again Potter.’

Interesting beginning. Will have to read on.

Harry the unenlightened! :)

For Hogwarts.  Yeah, sure, ;)
