Thanks very much. Next chapter is in the queue. :)

Thanks for reading. Glad the beginning has you intrigued. I know Harry and especially Ron not just tolerating Severus but being friends with him is extremely OOC but it was a key point in the prompts. You are doing quite will reading the clues so far. ;)

Hee! Glad you are liking it, thanks for commenting. ;)

Thanks so much for reading and for all your very lovely comments. Yes poor Draco, it's enough to emotional scar a boy!Glad you liked the quickie epilogue. The story ended where I wanted it to. But I figured people might want to know "the rest of the story."

Thanks, I loved Al and unca' Sev. Like Hermione thought, it's who he might have been years ago if Voldemort and DUmbledore had never happened. The dinner party was fun, but I think Hermione's plan back-fired on her. Bringing someone else was supposed to send a message to Severus that she wasn't interested, but seems like she got very jealous of his date!I fell in love with Tee too. I have a bad habit of making up OC's that I absolutely fall in love with.

Ah yes the dog--I honestly have no idea where he came from, he just wandered into the story (I swear I didn't orginally paln him) he just showed up and made himself right at home. Of course once he got there I realized right away who he belonged to. I glad you appreciate the way everything is turned around. OOC? Yep, but to make the prompt work, that's the way it went. ;)

I have been known to write 'bastard' Ron, but do so much like good, true, loyal friend Ron. I've always said I like Ron, just not with Hermione. I'm glad you like the confrontation at the Manor, I was worried because my beta found SS to be scary and stalkerish, which isn't how I meant him to be. Just determined to get the girl.

Well, I agree a bit, but I guess I think that one learns how to deal with crushes and such through trial and error, and I don't suppose he's had much chance for practice, so he is throwing himself in head first, making up for lost time.  That's what we'll go with anyway :)

I loved that scent too, him being so attracted and making a fool of himself, then realizing it was Hermione, and he still doesn't care, just thinks she's magnificent. LOL!

Thanks it was posted at last years sshg_exchange so you probably read it there. And the turnabout of characters was all part of the story. :)
