The plot thickens.  As do other things....

Well, this looks like the start of an interesting weekend.  And Snape has a twinkle.  Good read!

Good start! Sounds interesting.

Awww, he called her Hermione.  Next there will me flowers and proposals and stuff.  Okay, maybe not yet but I'm tired.  Good chapter.

I like the story being told from Snape's POV.  That is a rarity.  Good chapter!

Victor seems pushy and Severus maybe a tensy bit jealous??? Or it could just be indigestion.

YAY!  I loved it!

I agree with you on Snape.  Awkward and inexperienced.  Unloved for so long and pining for someone who never loved  him.  Exceedingly insecure.  I do think JKR intended his insecurity.  Poor Snape.

I've read this story before but it's so good I'm reading it again.

Wonderful story, though I do have to agree that it ended a bit abruptly. I think a small epilogue would close it easily, but I also see why you would want to end it here.

I love your characterization of Hermione and Severus. It is difficult to keep them canonically "in character" yet write those private moments (not just smut, but even heartfelt confessional scenes)  since we don't really see an example of those from JKR. I think you did a great job with this. 

loved this story... can't wait to read the sequel's you have planned.

All I can say is, it had better be earth-shattering when they finally get there!Seriously, the more of this I read, the better it gets.  The earliers chapters were fine, but the way you have brought Hermione and Severus into the understanding of each other and the slow burn between them is very well done :)So, what will their costumes be, I wonder?

Grrr!!  I hate those inopportune moments when people interrupt a good thing *L*

<>I've been following the story for a little while, and have just caught up with your latest update, and I must say that I like this story quite a bit :) 

I hope Hermione gives Rita her comeuppance, and soon! 

Love this story of every chapter,always brilliant!

Oh man! That is one nasty cliffhanger!!!!Dreadfully evil!!!You simply must finish the next chapter as soon as possible!

Yippee! An evening of catching up with one of my fave stories!  My PC's been on the blink for ages so there were quite a few chappies to come back to. Mmmm....Do I smell the subtle hint of citrus in the air? Or will our delightful dungeon dwellers miss the 'base' so to speak?  Only an update will tell *hint hint*Brilliant as per usualBlessings

whats that skeeker woman up to...

love your story, every chapter is better then the one before...

Great! A new chapter, and brilliant the plot!Herminone and Severus will be in a affair rumor on Daily Prophet.What will Rita write in the story, maybe become a scandal and how will other peoples in Hogwarts affect... So interesting when I imagine Krum to f2f with them.I can't wait for the next chapter.LOLP.S.  I like this work so much, pls go on! *smile*

Nasty Rita is going for revenge...  I imagine Snape will settle her very nicely.  He's not a wizard to mess with!  Good plot twist.

cozy!!  what a lovely duo-will we hear some duets next???  *smirk*

that was a sweet little date, where you can see more of Severus loosening up.

Awe!!!!!!!!

This chapter was amazing and was just what I needed. It made me smile and allowed me to look forward to my day ahead. I love this story. I don't think I've reviewed before. I have a nasty habit of that. But I've read this from the begininng and its truly amazing. It makes me giggle, smile, and angry all in one. I think you've characterized Severus and Hermione very well.

Good chapter.  I really like the scene at the end with Snape & Tonks.  Great interaction!Peace!  ~ j

Oh, he's back to his old tricks.  Something tells me staring at a closed door completely nullified the effects of that lovely kiss in his muddled head.  I love the way your Snape just cannot seem to manage simple courtesy and enjoys being nasty.  It's just SO canon and I really like it.  Even if it does make me fantasize about Hermione slapping him repeatedly when he's in a snit!Still loving this story!

He really should have let her punish the girl. I'm glad I found you here, since Mage doesn't tell me of updates. I've been enjoying your story.
