Wow, it's been a while since I've seen so many innuendos in one chapter. I thought Severus and Hermione would've fooled around a bit at the end of this one. They're completely attracted to each other, but don't think they have a chance for something.

Wow! I frequently skip over WIPs, preferring to read completed fics, but I'm SO glad I didn't skip this, Teddy! I'm loving this fic - your characterizations of Hermione and Severus are unique, but make absolutely perfect sense, and totally fit to their canon characters. It's interesting to be inside Severus' head, even though I keep wanting to reassure him and tell him to quit doubting himself. I do want to disagree with you about one thing - sorry to burst your bubble but this is not a PWP, unless the W stands for 'with'.Captivating story so far, and I can't wait for updates! :)

Love the story so far, Hermiones tantrum were long overdue and perfectly written. Hopefully this will help her gain her focus back.

Hmm... titillation by proxy, is it? ;)

A little flirting is good. :)

Silly boy! 

Wonder how long until the first argument... :)

Big decision, when you put it like that!  :)

Love the tone you have set for Severus.  :)

Hurricane Hermione! well " it's better out than in " as my mother used to say, she will be better for venting all that anger, and now Severus has her exactly where she wants to be. P.S thank you for the double up date. 

Ooook, that is definitely something I have never seen before, very erotic.

Loved the first line, key to every good relationship that. Looking forward to the massage.

It was bliss seeing Hermione tell Harry off.

Poor Severus, first he over thinks everything, then he reverts to a school boy pulling her pigtails { meterphorically speaking }

A beautiful and moving ceremony, beautifully discribed.

This is just what Hermione needs, she has always liked the structure and discipline school, knowing where she should be and what she should be doing, this is an just extension of what she already knows. 

A beautiful character portrait in prose, you know him so well. 

Another story masterfully written!  Thank you!  I appreciate the expert pacing of their emotions and the development of their relationship.  At first I couldn't imagine how feelings would evolve over a seven-year span, but you have introduced so many emotional issues for each of them, that I will enjoy the full evolution of this story.  I'm sorry I didn't find it earlier -- very glad I found it now!
