I was wrong, this was the chapter I've been waiting for! I'm with Hermione - I hope Theo felt that!

Yay! I've been waiting for this chapter for so long! That was utterly delightful!

I have no intention of ever, ever acting on my feelings

Ah, we'll see!

Well. The bastard. I've been dreading this since they bought the rings!

Yay for Hermione and her business acumen! Boo for Cordelia and her extramarital activities. I can't believe Severus is really happy with this arrangement.

Something tells me that Exostraserum is going to have a part to play!

Poor Severus, still in pain after all this time :(

Can I just say how much I'm enjoying the poetry choices in each chapter? I have to force myself not to skim them in order to read the story, but each one has been worth it!

Well, he should have given her an interview years ago! I can only hope this leads to better things for both of them - the Mills make pants spouses!

Oooh, the plot just keeps thickening!

What a chapter! I'm glad they didn't try having a baby - no one else needed to be heart by this marriage.

Still, rubbishy Theo is out the picture! I'm sure that will be a good thing - eventually.

Poor old Severus.  Foot in mouth disease, big time!  And now Theo is back to add his two Knuts' worth! :)

I loved it when Severus put Cordelia in her place, did she really think she had put one over on him. I'm sure Theo is in for quite an uncomfortable time, and it couldn't happen to a nicer person.

At last,  together,as they should be, whatever one does in life, it should  always be done properly.

It is so typical of Hermione to send the murtlap to Theo, she has a good heart.

I guess "Mummy" forgot to tell  Theo that " what goes around , comes around"

I guess they both have to face irate spouses, that will no doubt be asking some very pointed questions. Severus did behave like an ass, and should thank his lucky stars that Lance was there to give him the verbal clip round the ear he needed. 

 P.S. I wish someone would give me such a nice birthday present, even though I can't brew potions, a cauldron like that might come in handy. 

I have the feeling things are going to get worse before they can get better. I just hope her job in the DOM will bring her some comfort.

Really enjoying this story so far - it's wonderfully imagined and filled with very vivid detail. I'm really glad you chose to repost this!

Oh dear, he realises that she's attractive just moments before she marries his step son? I hope their choice of rings doesn't prove that misguided.

House Elf Interruptus! Go Moe!

Poor Hermione. Can't blame her for wanting more than fondness. 

I know *meep* doesn't count as a proper reply, but it's all I have in me at the moment! I'm reading this from behind a cushion.

Any boy who makes Hermione skip class is a wrong 'un in my book!

I'm torn - of course I want Hermione to be with Snape, but it seems like an awful lot of unhappiness will arise between now and then. You're not going to go easy on us readers, are you?

I Severus just being cruel, or is he aware of something we should know? I have a feeling Severus may have just forced her hand.

Hah! Hermione's turning into the femme fatale of Belgrave Place! That joke could have gone very badly wrong...

On a more serious not, I'm loving the sheer number of obstacles you're throwing up between Hermione and Severus even wanting to be in the same room as each other, let alone be together. Fun stuff.

Oh poor Neville! His situation is just impossible. I know this story is already complete, but I really hope you find a way to make him happy too. I can't help but have a soft spot for the poor boy.
