Oh,yeah. Exercise can be a real killer. ^_^

A good start. Loved the part where he denies (in his mind) that he blew up James Sirius. Then there was the part about holding Louis with Won-won looking on. And the dirt on the bathroom wall experiment. And--well you get the idea. Keep up the good work. ^_^

Severus' conversation with his subconcious was hilarious. I hope we do get to read a few more of those. I love his scheeming.Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Great first chapter.  Love the introspective dialogue and plotting by Severus, can't wait to find out what happens....

ha ha, very good start. hope you continue....

This is just lovely--light-hearted and sweet with Severus at his Slytherin-in-denial best. Looking forward to reading more!hm88

I am looking forward to Severus' plans ... Thank you!

"You could say Astoria is for Draco what you are for me."   This is just about the sweetest thing Severus could have ever said.  Never in a million years would I have considered he might have encountered a gigantic flying puppet snake, and I think Severus did well not to have blasted the puppeteer to smithereens right along with the puppet.  (I couldn't help laughing though.  *giggle snort*  But I did feel bad about it cuz our Severus would have been terrified...  *snicker*)I thoroughly enjoyed the ups and downs of Severus' determination to work on phase two of his plan after the phase one went tits up.  When all else fails, take it into your own hand.  Singular... Hand... Cracked me up!His exercise regimen to build his strength and endurance is to be applauded, and with his new batch of pain killers he will surely have a better shot with phase two.  I hope Hermione passes her driving test the first time—I don't know what Severus will do if she has to do her preparation all over again.  And now I'm left wondering just what Hermione is up to creeping out of the bed after Severus had fallen into an exhausted and blissfully unaware sleep.  Probably nothing serious, after all, "everything was still going according to plan." Thank you for such a warm 'n fuzzy and very funny chapter.  It made my day!Beth

I think I love this!  Your Severus is a darling bundle of nerves and uncertainties, but one thing he has going for him in spades is Hermione and her love for him... and a smart-mouthed subconscious to guide him at every turn.

So happy to see a new update, I loved it. Severus should have listened to his inner self though, just asking Hermione would be easier than all his scheeming, but not as fun I guess:-))

Poor Severus. Hopefully this is one heck of a plan he has since it doesn't seem to be having the intended effect so far. Poor man having her give such a lackluster response to his personal improvement. I look forward to seeing how his plan progresses.

Enjoying what you have so far, looking forward to the next chapter! :D

love the plot.. great job on severus's personality!!

Oh, poor Severus. So funny that he's the one with the ticking biological clock. You really captured him well and I loved his drunken conversation with himself. Marvelous. I look forward to seeing what happens next.
