Fabulous!!! We need more!!!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
:D Thank you!!!
I like your Bad Tempered Hermione, and I'm looking forward to the revenge scene. Very effective interrupted lust scene, looking forward to more of that, too!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Oh, thank you. I'm so glad that you like this!
Yay! An update! Great chapter. Man, I yelling at Minerva myself. Hopefully she'll stop throwing tea cups at Albus and realize she needs to mind her business.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
:D Thank you! I hope she stops throwing things soon too. ;)
Hey you know it's been awhile since you updated this..
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* You know, it's been a while since I've replied to reviews at this site. *headdesk*
Gotta love Snape, gotta be overly fearful of a mad Mione! *nods*
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Mmmmm. Yes, definitely love Snape. ;) Thanks!
Oh, thank you for the update! Hm. I have a feeling that Ron is going to suffer quite a bit. Will he get it, though? And Severus... I don't know what I think of him right now. He was a bastard to do that to Ron (and Hermione)
I think he owes her an apology as well, and I hope she gets one, even if it is a Snapeishly worded one.
Looking forward to whatever they're cooking up!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you, Avery! I think Ron will get it, and will be sufficiently embarressed, that much I can guarrantee.
I agree. Snape does owe Hermione an apology. However, I don't think that he was even going to consider giving her one while still within Ministry walls. They'll go have lunch and a nice little conversation... :)
What a wonderful beginning for revenge! Mwa-ha-ha-ha! If you have a notification list... please put me on it. I've run into the situation of ppl getting away with things they shouldn't as well and it is a very frustrating thing to endure. I practice patience, however, and get them back when I can. *evil grin*
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you! :D I don't send out emails. However, I do post on my LiveJournal when updates are posted. The link to my LJ is found on my author's page here at TPP. Also, TPP usually sends out a notification email if you mark the story as a favorite.
First off Congrats sweetie! Whoooo! This is such a great story and it deserved to win! I'm so glad you updated. I know four kids are alot to handle and you do an incredible thing by being able to take care of them and still find time to write these fab stories. So my hats off to you. This is one cliffie I can't deny. I am eager to see what you're going to do next. Good luck and Cheers to you! 
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
:D Thank you! I will start to work on the next chapter as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for sticking with the story!
Another excellent chapter. I was so glad to see the update...keep them coming.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much!
:snerk: your Severus in this story is quite wonderful. I'm pleased they're planning revenge. Molly is fairly nauseating, I have to say. One would think that a woman of her age and experience would be a little more understanding of Hermione's situation. Especially since both her and Arthur's background, and his experience in the ministry.I can see interesting things eventuating in this story. Well done!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
LOL! Thank you!
Yes, Molly is rather frustrating, although, I think that she's looking out for her family's interests. From the HP books we see her react in such a way to Hermione in GOF when those articles were flying in Witch Weekly and the Daily Prophet. We just don't see her treat Harry poorly because she sees Harry as family.
Fabulous update!!! I love what you've done here - Hermione has to temper her anger because Ron is a friend, so Severus vents on her behalf. And very clever of him to "carefully choose his words" - he answered truthfully, yet still created the impression he wanted. Excellent segue into their first lunch date. Congrats on the award!! 
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you, June, for everything. You are incredibly creative, my dear. I appreciate everything that you do. 
*squeeeeee* An update! I love this chapter! Yay for strong women. You portrayed Hermione absolutely beautifully. Young, independent, yet somewhat vulnerable due to her age, it's been an absolute pleasure to read!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yes, Hermione's strong. I'm so glad that you like the way that she's written in this story! :D You've made my day, lotc.
How wonderful to find an update just when I was procrastinating. I got to read the entire story from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love your manipulative, self-serving version of the Potions master, and I look forward to the revenge that Severus and Hermione cook up together.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much,
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
. Glad that you like this.
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a new chapter, and finally we see the stirrings of some payback for Ron and Molly. Grr. Still one of my favorite stories, and congratulations on the win!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yes, finally payback! Thank you so much! :D
Finally an update!! I love the idea of Snape and Hermione plotting together. Can't wait to see what happens.Having two myself (and being one of five), I can commisserate a bit. Mine don't go back until Sept 7. I'm just dying until then.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yes, finally! Yes, I can't wait for school to start again! It'll take a bit to get back into a routine, but once that happens things will settle down considerably! YAY!
Glad you like the idea of them plotting. :) I need them working together on something. :)
I am so very pleased that you've updated, m'dear! I usually read over at Ashwinder, but this is an absolutely fantastic installment! It makes perfect sense that Ron would get off easy (Molly is just infuriating here, usually I adore her but you successfully make her annoy me - well done). And Severus and Hermione having lunch to plan revenge on Ron? Do I sense a romance brewing? :) This chapter was just lovely and flowed very well. And congratulations on your well-deserved award.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much! Romance between Severus and Hermione? I've got to be honest with you on that one... I'm not sure. It depends if they cooperate. So far they've both made it rather difficult.
I really hope Ron gets some of what he gave back. And I hope he's very embarassed with whatever Severus and Hermione cook up.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Yes, he will. Guaranteed. :D Ron and Molly both.
Yay, a new chapter great stuff. Good to see that although the Ministry is willing to sweep things under the carpet that SS is going to set things to right 
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you,
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
! Yes, Snape will set things to rights. He's a good guy in that regards... not the least bit ethical, though. 
Response from Anijade (Reviewer)
Ethics be damned I am all about revenge I tell you
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a new chapter, and finally we see the stirrings of some payback for Ron and Molly. Grr. Still one of my favorite stories, and congratulations on the win!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
LOL! Yes, payback. It's coming soon! Thank you so much!
What an ARSE!!! I love the man, but I can hate his actions!
Gin, you have him down pat, I love all your writings and can't wait for the next installment. I started reading your stuff from MNFF and you have inspired me to search for more fanfic.
Knowing that there are those out there who can write so exquisitely - as this story is such an awesome example of an absolutely superb piece of writing - is inspiring!
Keep up the excellent work Ginny!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much! Your review really made me week. I am so glad that you like my Snape. I truly enjoy writing the man and to hear that others appreciate my characterization of him is awesome. Thank you!!! ~Ginny
Very nice! I've enjoyed reading this.
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
Thank you so much!
Aw...com'on! WHAT?? Hurry up and write some more! LOL
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
LOL! I'm working on it, I promise! Thanks! ~Ginny
You had to stop there!
Fuck..
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*snicker* That seems to be a fairly common reaction. Thanks! ~Ginny
So... what did the scrolls say? Severus didn't report Ron, did he? Good to see everyone is being reasonable. Well, mostly reasonable. Looking forward to more!
Response from GinnyW (Author of A Slip of the Tongue)
*zips mouth shut before she spills anything*LOL! Mostly reasonably is right. ;) More soon! Thanks, Avery! ~Gin
