Reviews for Denial
They actually seem to fall right into an easy friendship without much effort. Perhaps they should just remain friends. The sad part is that it might actually work if they had the same life goals, but, it is unfair for either of them to have to compromise. Dinner with the parents and the news of her dream job coming up ... gulp.

Yes, I think under different circumstances, Hermione and Theo would actually get along fairly well! Dinner with the in-laws coming up tomorrow. Thanks for your review! LB x

Well Herms is happy and all appears well but it feels like the pretty flower you go to sniff only to discover a bug. Looking forward to more.

So not gay then. Oh well. Sevy looked so cute doing the right thing and all. Loving the story.
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
LOL. Yes, I remember well how everyone thought he must be gay when I first posted this story. A few people even suggested he was having an affair with his own mother! Ew. I'm glad you're enjoying it! LB x

Hermione really can't say, that she hasn't been warned, Severus told her Theo would not be willing to stay in one place for long. It may not seem to be that big a deal, but it is, if Theo stays for Hermione, he will feel traped, if Hermione gives up the job to travel with Theo, she will be resentful. My grandmother said " You can't make someone else happy, by making yourself miserable " we all like to be around happy people. Will they be happy together? we will have wait and see, won't we.

It's nice to see Hermione looking for ways to make this relationship work. Much better than resigning herself to a fate worse than death.Love the counterpoint Ginny and Harry play to Hermione's situation, allowing her to reaffirm to herself that she's doing the right thing. Much like how Parvarti & Seamus's relationship influenced Padma's decision to go through with the Ministry's plans. Well done!Looking forward to the next chapter!

The 'Daddy Snape' bombshell. Great way to break the news to her!
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
Nothing like a good bombshell! Actually, if I wrote this story today, I would have ended the chapter at the spot where he says "He is my stepson", and left it on a cliffie. But I resisted! LB x
Response from Jinxie (Reviewer)
Yes, the cliffie would've been too much. You'd have had many a fangirl after you for that re-write. ;)

I really enjoy how you've written Draco as older, jokier and more relaxed. In some respects you root for him to get with Hermione...
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
Yes, I do quite like this slightly camp, funny version of Draco. :) LB x

Thank you for re-posting this story. I was wanting to go back and re-read this, but was unable to find it. Looking forward to re-reading it 'as new' and hopefully most of it remains untouched.Many thanks!

Hello,
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
! Thank you for your review - I'm glad you're glad it's back. :) And yes, it remains very much untouched - it's just the heavy langauge I've thinned out a bit. I felt it was overwritten, and wanted to lighted it a bit. But even when I've felt that a chapter really needs a rewrite, I've resisted temptation, so it will be largely unchanged. LB x

Don't think Theo will be too happy about that owl. 
Looking forward to meet the Mills and meet the grangers.

Their first date went well, her meeting with Harry & Ginny was full of good news on both sides. I think that the 0wl from the Ministry will be the fly in the ointment. Great chapter looking forward to more soon.

Yes, indeed, that owl is going to spell trouble! More on Tuesday. :) LB x

hummm i get the feeling alot is not being said she dosent have all the facts, gees this is creepy. im watching thanks for the update.
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
Thanks for your review! I should have more for you on Tuesday - and we'll learn more about Theo then. LB x

Although I know what is coming, I am still sort of glad that she is excited about Theo. I can't help but think that it is better than going into a marriage with someone you can't stand. Snape does make some very good points, and I don't think you have to be too intimately acquainted with Hermione to know that she would be unhappy with Theo's preferred lifestyle. But honestly, what other choice does she have?I look forward to more soon. I will say that I am not typically a fan of OCs, but you have one in this story that has been a favorite of mine since I met him. Actually, so many good moments to come, I am getting all laughy, and squealy, and tingly just thinking about them all. Have I mentioned that I am so glad you are back? *does a dork dance*
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
Yes, if Hermione wants to stay in this world and abide by its rules (and let's face it, she's a rules kind of girl) she has little choice. And I am delighted you're looking forward to my OC - I am terribly fond of him. Thank you for this very kind review and your dorky dance - I read this out to my hubby and it made him laugh! More Denial within the hour. LB x

It's settled then. Hermione will become Hermione Nott... but I'm afraid she will become Nott happy as well. But really... what other choice did she have? I think this is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't times. At least she is "that much" closer to meeing Lance, and that's a reason to smile.Well done, m'dear!!Beth

Thanks, Beth. :) And yes, we meet Lance in the next chapter! Hurray! LB x

Hmmmm... very interesting... Severus's reasonings as to why Theo and Hermione aren't a good match. His justification sounded really good to me -- they don't sound like they'll be a good match. I imagine Hermione would be *miserable* living as a wanderer, and Theo probably won't even realise he's making her miserable - and won't be capable of modifying his behaviour to accommodate his wife. Yikes.

You have it exactly right! They have a rather rocky road ahead of them. Thanks for your review - More Denial up tomorrow. :) LB x

My heart aches for Severus, this doesn't paint a very nice picture of his marriage. I will be waiting patiently 
for your next update.

No, it doesn't! Little by little we'll find out more about Severus's marriage. Thanks for your review, LB x

What is Hermione letting her self in for. I like that Severus tried to tell her about Theo, but we all have to do what we think is best for us no matter what other people think. I know Hermione likes Theo but I think she should haved listened a little more to Severus
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
Alas, Hermione always does think she knows best. That's the problem with know-it-alls! LB x

Hmmm, I'm betting on Theo being gay. Am very curious to see how this all turns out as it's labeled "Potions Under Distress" & Snape is married and Hermione is supposed to be in a few weeks. I sense carnage and confusion and fun ahead! Eager for the next chappie!!!
Response from little beloved (Author of Denial)
It will certainly be a roller coaster ride for Hermione! Brace yourself. :) LB x
