Loved it. Thank you. :)

I hope a sequel comes out at some point. 

Such a great story. Thank you.

Very good! Thankyou for sharing :)

O please, neelix! More! More!! I want more! Pleeeeease!

That's what I'm talkin about right there! Hopefully the next time lasts longer. ...sigh

This plot is moving right along quickly! The Keeper is a very excellent character. Someone even Severus Snape respects. Well, the life debt may have a little to do with that as well.  The Keeper is an imposing person. I like him a lot. Good job inventing this character.  I'm glad that Hermione actually dumped Ron in a very Slytherine manner and she is way hotter than Lavender Brown. She also seems very open to the idea of marrying Severus Snape.  They are both lucky people and it appears that they are astute enough to realize it in a quite timely manner.  

Amazing! Severus Snape is related to Helga Hufflepuff. The house elfs are on strike and claiming a life debt. What in the world did Hermione do that has pissed them off so bad? This is going to be harder than Severus Snape thought. I guess Hermione did what a lot of women do after a big break up. They make the bloke that dumped them sorry by becoming more than the ass ever imagined she could be.  Those guys actually gave those women a gift though it was a hard one. I'm very anxious to find out what Hermione has done, how Severus Snape handles her and what she has turned out to be.  Not the swotty know it all with the frizzy hair after all. What else has changed about her? 

An utterly facinating beginning! I hope Hermione doesn't cause too much trouble. 

What a great little story! I loved The Keeper. The ending was such a tease! 

Very neat storyline set-up! (I kind of love that the elves took over Severus' room as a party den.) XD

Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoyed that. Well done. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.

Wonderful, thank you! I really liked your picture of Severus having to cook in Hagrid's hut because of the strike ...

Oooooh, what an ending!  So many questions about what is to come, but  satisfying in a way that we don't really need answers.  Unless, you know, you want to provide some. *nudges you*

I don't know if I've ever read a story where love or sex wasn't impeded by reservations from Severus.  How fantastic that with this scenario, that can be believable.  Nice going, Yoda!

Well, if they are destined to get married, they might as well move right along and earn their NC 17 rating, you know? ;) I love the idea of the keeper of the books.  Wonder what he'll think when he consults his map and the headmaster's dot is right on top of Hermione's?

So much to love in this chapter.  "By the Balls" made me laugh.  I enjoy the idea that Severus read his mother's romance novels.  I really want to see some fanart of the scene with Headmaster Snape in bed with a roomful of house-elves peering at him.  But perhaps my favorite is his comment out loud in Hermione's office.  He's a goner already!

I love sweet little Helga and her house elf friends.  You can see why she was an asset as a founder.  And then there's the last line of this chapter. *giggles*  

What a fun story. Thanks for sharing!

They didn't waste any time, did they.

This is going to be fun.

Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Severus Snape, tongue tied, now theres a sight you don't see every day. 

Helga is the heart of Hogwarts, and this is where it all began.

Interesting twist at the end. :)
