*Snort* Bach's output of children was also suspiciously high for a mere mortal! But we digress...Loved the name you chose for the tempermental horse. Was that a nod to Sweeney Todd?This fic rocks my world. Love the banter, love the tension, love the mystery. Can't wait until the next update!Thanks for posting--hm88

You shocked me. Shocked, I say. I had NO idea that Douglas Adams had died, and I had to go off on a little internet rabbit trail of his life and times.And back now. Review the story. Your writing continues to be excellent. I love your settings; they make me feel as if I am there, and your characters are lovely, at least so far. I have hope that your villains will be lovely in their nastiness, and look forward to reading about them when they show up in this story.As someone who has owned and driven many British cars, your automotive analogies and references were a happy addition. I also liked your little back story of Snape's horse experience. Especially since the unbroken colts that I work with have all taken more time and effort on my part to achieve that level of trust with me!

Absolutely fantastic! LOL I love your source of inspiration too...esp cranked UP!

have to say, i read these chapters with a huge grin on my face. Lovely birthday treat. Diolch.

This is such a pleasure to read. I love the way you're developing the characters - their banter is perfect - as well as the plot, as they use both deception and a truth hidden beneath... Alongside the mystery of Markov, the story is, overall, captivating. I'm sorry for Helen, too :(

Jaguars are my favorite fantasy cars! Hermione is soooo lucky! Markov sounds too sneaky. That Muggle-repelled door leads to something big, I suspect. And I wonder what would happen if they removed the Ashwinder eggs from Helen's migraine pills? Would she start detesting Markov? I loved the comment from Snape about Hermione's butt being deformed from all those years of sitting in the library! I howled!

I am utterly loving this story. Great pace. Great characer development. Great everything. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment.

A super conclusion to the story. And very fine that Paradise By the Dashboard Light was the title :)
I hope Snape does tell her. Someday.
Thank you for a lovely story. :)

Falling out of bed indeed. *giggle* Oh, but he is a Slytherin.
Also I suspect that the Call Of Love is going to be proven in a later chapter? I'd love it if Hermione got to say "I told you so."
Also I must add, that I really love that Snape is so at ease with himself and his new life.

I really like your take on the world around the story. Molly's success with her meals, Hermione's training with muggles and wizards, her thing with Charly. It adds depth and strength to Hermione.

Oooh. I love Meat Loaf (especially the Steinman lyrics). Love your idea. I'm looking forward to several chapters. And I'm humming "Pulled the word's right out of my mouth".

I think I might be in love with this. Unique premise, fluidly executed. I love your characterisations - they ring true to canon whilst having a refreshing twist. Sort of like adding lemon to the ol' cuppa.

Brilliant! I absolutely love this premise, and the natural banter between Severus and Hermione has left me giggling like a little school girl, on more than one occasion. Wonderful narrative, and I can't wait to see where this develops! Thanks so much for sharing! ♥♥

I was absolutely delighted to see this third chapter up! I am enjoying the humour that enhances the story, and the very evocative descriptions. And the cyclist that darted out into traffic! I look forward to your next chapter! And now I am off to listen to Meatloaf.

I'm wondering if we are going to see a successful demonstration of the Vocant Amoris?  Somehow, even though they protest too much, I think they could call to one another.I am so curious who Markov could be if he didn't recognize Hermione already.  I don't think he is Malfoy.  You haven't said who specifically is still at large.  Wasn't Dolohov Russian?  Won't he recognize Snape on sight?  Why doesn't Snape wear a disguise?Great Story.

Thanks for updating.  Have I told you yet I love this story because of the very original storyline?I am glad Hermione took all kind of safety precautions for this mission, and after their testdrive I am more than convinced that our lovely couple really can act as a lovey couple - without knowing yet that they are indeed a couple, LOL. However, I am slightly concerned they'll worry more about being convincing as a couple than being convincing as muggles while the latter might become a bigger problem than the former. So please share with us soon how everything works out..

What a wonderful first foray into the genre!  I look forward to the next chapters and whatever other plot might come to you.  And an original idea, too!

This is delightful! Severus and Hermione's banter reminds me a little of the old Katharine Hepburn/Cary Grant movies.

This is great! I'm anxiously waiting the next chapters.

Great conversations/flirting. Looking forward to more. Thanks for writing!

loved this chapter too, wonderful banter and a lot for your imagination. A handcuffed Severus and a busy Hermione with Charles must have been a sight to remember. I love the way you portrait Severus and Hermione, in character but both have loosened up a bit

I don't really like to take a chance on a WIP, but I realize that feed back can be important to the writer in order to continue with a story, and to improve their work, so I break my own rule sometimes. Now my fingers are crossed that you will finish this one, as I have really enjoyed what you have written so far! Your story seems very original so far, and I am also enjoying the sound track, having pulled up some of Meatloaf's songs on YouTube to listen to while reading. Molly's Millisecond Meals, Hermione's training with the FBI, the books and the cottage that came with them, all very compelling and nicely thought out. Not to mention a Hermione who doesn't need rescuing from a dismal dead end job, like so many (albeit well written) fics that I have read lately, and I think you have a winner here! Nicely crafted, and I hope to enjoy this through to the end and then many more from you as well!Thank you so much!

Okay, now I'm getting the image of a threesome of Severus, Charlie and Hermione. Ewww! Of course, the image of Filius and Minerva working over a naked Snape probably takes a close second. Very entertaining. ^_^

Naked, handcuffed Snape? Gives me chills!! (the good kind)Why do I get the feeling that their walking into a trap at Markov's?

Awesome!
