“Miss Granger, how can you begrudge a dead man a peek at those fabulous tits?"  ROFL!  This whole chapter is terrifically funny!

Snape grew impatient, simply waiting for the action to start. Oh, for the love of Merlin. Take a picture. Don't just stand there gawking at her. She's not a work of art to be admired. She's flesh and blood and eagerly awaiting to lose her V card. Do something, fool.This is where I absolutely lost it.  As I read this passage I got this mental picture of Snape having a bit of difficulty staying on task, but rallying himself for the battle.  This willingness to indulge in paroxysms of laughter was set in place when Ron discovered Hermione's granny pants. I must say how astonished I was at Hermione's determination to stay on task with all the noise of flapping curtains and gale force winds whirling around her bedroom.   (And I can't really blame Ron for deciding to git while the gittin's good.)As for whether Hermione will stay or go, my money is on staying... after all, what other place offers her such an opportunity for a research project?  She's never been able to resist a good mystery... let alone a good challenge.  I can't wait to see what happens when they meet in the lounge for that drink.Thanks for this brilliant chapter!Beth

The multitasking witch... and “You wretched, cock-blocking ghost,” and so many wonderful zingers--thank you for so such rich and endearing scenes between Hermione and Ron with Severus in the shadows bwahaha'ing;-D Just relish how the turning of the tide is going with this storyline, and of course, your rich detailed narrative--just wonderful, delectable work!

There is so much outrageously wonderful with the bureaucracy scene--LOVE George and Regulus adding on their own panache to Severus' *dilemma*--and yes, we had to wait but oooooh, let the games begin indeed--Hermione & Crookshanks have arrived!Brilliant work!

Enjoy it while it lasts Severus, you have left Hermione time to think, bad move, very bad move. No one comes between Hermione Granger, and the object of her desire.

*grin* This is Hermione we're talking about, Severus. ^_^

'Surely the werewolf would have preferred to freshen up after his transformations rather than read mid-twentieth-century chick-lit.'--HA! Along with 'The afterlife is a bitch, just like her sister life.' and all the other wonderful zingers are so enjoyable intertwined with this unique, developing plot unfolding. I can just feel Severus' indignation and annoyance at being disturbed, and being provoked into haiving to begin 'haunting'--delicious! As always, I love your skill and style and twists in the storyline along with the rich detailed content--and of course, Severus' cantankerousness just makes my facial muscles *hurt* with grinningThank you!

Beautifully written thus far. Kinda reminds of the ghost and mrs muir.... Thanks!

I really enjoyed . Thank you very much !

I really enjoyed . Thank you very much !

I would have thought that, Severus simply floting throgh a wall or up from the floor, would have been enough to scare the willies out of anyone.  I love the way this is going, I am recovering from eye surgery at the moment, but HAD to read this up date, I love it THAT much. 

It's so hard reading dead!Snape but I'm sticking with this clever tale.  My guess is he's going to wish he had hidden behind cliche bed curtains when his first haunting attempt is over!

That's been a highly entertaining read, I love this kind of humour and I'm more than curious to learn which new insides S. (and we) will get out of his exemplar of this very special handbook. Until next week.

If only I had known I would benefit from such largess, I would have asked for a loose woman. After the day he's had I'd say he deserves all of it- warm fire, wonderful brandy, and a woman... loose or otherwise.  I'm looking forward to the next chapter.  Well done!Beth

I think I'm going to like this, it has great humor and wit.

Yay! Brilliant! This brilliant piece of love is here! Love the rich detailed path and awareness that Severus is going through and experiencing. Love this unique approach and intriguing premise, and of course, love your rich, descriptive narrative and have needed a good dosage of your humour ' and Nagini indulged in a little nosh too'--ha! Say! More of your lovely work to come!xxx

I enjoyed this from beginning to end, and I'm glad you gave them such a lovely happy ending. I love Severus' voice in this story, it's perfectly Snape,  and the plot is very intriguing. I also love your chapter titles - they're just as brilliant as the story itself!

Thank you for a lively, wacky romp,with a lovely happy ending.

SEVERUS LIVES!!!  and life goes on { with tasty lemon zest } .

Definitely a keeper. *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* ^_^

What a happy epilogue!  Filius' email name is a hoot, and I imagine he enjoys "swimming the web."  There's no telling what mischief he might get up to.Hermione's "charms and more" business is, by all accounts, a roaring success.  The NEW Hog's Head Inn has a new clientèle, and Aberforth is making money hand over fist.Stephen -I mean Severus -has the best of all worlds.  A bestselling author and an acclaimed literary agent all rolled into one.  What's not to love?  I wonder how long he can put off Ms. Workman?  Perhaps some Macallan 50 will soon be in the offering.I wish Hermione and Severus a happy celebration during his Rebirthday Party. Good food, good company, and good fun! And lets not forget the May Queen dress... only the dress. Do you know what I mean? ~nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more~Thank you for this rollicking good tale of life and love reborn and reclaimed!  It's been total fun!!!Beth

Yeeeeaaah! *does Kermit dance* I come home from a mountaintop wedding (my nephew must think me part mountain goat) to find this chapter waiting.Okay, Hermione, your deposit's safe since you apparently did the repairs on the flat. However... I'm not so sure about your virtue. ^_^

I am so glad the spell worked but I am the densest reader ever. What was the missing ingredient? Was it love? I cannot imagine V using love. Please spill the beans!

I read it all in one go, it was really funny. Thanks for a really good time! ;)

"The Ghost in You" is the perfect song to go along with this update.  And may I congratulate you on a lovely chapter that hit all the right spots, so to speak.  I think my favorite quote from this is "...the tightness in his body released like a faucet opened wide, not unlike the feeling of being reborn."Other favorite things:•“Perhaps you're hearing things. I'll perform an auditory exam for you.”•"...hoped his charming, albeit plaque-coated, smile would convince her of his sincerity..."•The fact that Severus got his gorgeously sexy voice back.•When Hermione's inner dominatrix came out and she hauled him onto the bed for a "virtuous and corrupt kiss" and telling him “Enough talk. Let's do this now!”  Thank you for this wonderful chapter with all the lovely and loving lemons.  I'm very eager to see what their lives are like in a year!!!Beth
