Thank you for this fabulous story, Subversa.  I can't believe I hadn't seen it before now.  In your hands Severus and Hermone are beautiful, refined within the the crucible of their emotions and brought to a radiant, white, and golden purity of love.

When I listened to the song it made me think of you and your darling hubby!  May you both have a blissful holiday.

Great lord!  Let me get my thoughts on paper.
•Hermione knows who Sir Tobias is.
•Now Severus knows who Kitten is.
•Lucius is on the way to TPE to escape Narcissa's aunts.
•Can Hermione be on her way to TPE to "get even?"  Or confront Ramona or KiKi?
•Lucius is on the way to TPE to escape Narcissa's aunts.

Perhaps Lucius can prevent all Hell from breaking loose... if, indeed, Hermione and Seveus are both on their way to TPE.
...because Seveus is going to need all the help he can get.  (Is Hermione carrying her wand???)

That was absolutely incredible. I loved it. I think that you should rework it for publication. 

love that severus and hermione found one at BDSM.. love the interaction between them.. happy that crook found a partner...

Thank you, Subversa, for another wonderful story!  I was delighted to find a new one although a new one doesn't stop me from re-reading my favorite old ones.

I absolutely LOVED the last chapter! I'm glad Severus got to her before Lucius, and they are now together.

That was absolutely satisfiyingly beautiful! Thank you for the lemony, romantic story with the happy ending. You have made my weekend. I went to the memorial for my friend that I had let slip away thinking there would always be time to see her again. She had struggled for 6 year with cancer. I was the only one there that the pain was new for. I was the only one tearful as I spoke to her husband, her daughter and her mother. I was so happy to get home and know I hadn't finished reading this story yet. Thank you for the cheer and happiness you give with the time you spend crafting stories for the rest of us, dearest. 

Did she intend for him to find the letter? Did she know he would have no compunction about looking at the papers on her desk? That would be a Slytherin move. Well we will just have to see where this goes. 

Ok.  I thought I was being totally Gryffindor, but telling him straight to his face that she clearly knows who he is is totally Gryffindor. He did see the love bite but it was an accident. Well Serverus. What will you do now? The ball is clearly in your court. And what is Ramona doing there? Has she taken an interest in these love birds? Is she there to see what they are up to? Does she feel sorry for Kitten who keeps coming in to see Sir Tobias who is never there to see her? Hermione did tell her she had a kneazle at Hogwarts.  I've already added this story to my favorites. 

Just splendid Sub! I love Harry and Draco's relationship as well! I look forward to your next project very much! xx

"Until next time"...Good girl.  I sense he will attempt one more time to separate himself from his feelings and tell her he won't see her again. Are there enough chapters for that and a reunion? What will she do in the meantime now that she knows who he is. He is at a serious disadvantage, but to show her cards too soon would unwise. He needs to realize his truth. He is in love. Will he figure out that kitten is Hermione? Will she give him hints back at the school? Oh I'm totally Griffindor right now. I'm all about wearing a kitten necklace or something to make him think about it in the office. When he's at his desk and she's at her's and no one else is there, accept the portraits, she should put her hair up and let him see the love bite on her nape and act like she forgot it was there. Good move or bad? I have no idea what a Slytherin would do right now. 

A perfect ending to a perfect story, Thankyou for your wonderful writing and for sharing your gift of storytelling with us. Can't wait to read your next fic, don't leave us hanging too long!!! 😘

I wish Hermione had asked Severus if he had a red scarf in his trouser pocket!  Just imagine his surprise! I'm glad he at least has Lucius to console him. Hermione can't really tell anyone about her night. She might be able to tell Draco, but Harry wouldn't understand.  

A lovely story ,with a beautiful ending. Thank you so very much.

I was ready to sign up! But the goodbye is the hard part.  It was wonderful!  Then, as always, real life must assert it'self.  Hopefully these two will figure out they don't need TPE and who they are together. Falling in love is always wonderful and horrible at the same time. 

How us old biddies love to read these stories to remind ourselves of those emotional thrills and the desperation of our salad days. Tomorrow I go to the memorial for my maid of honor.  She died of ovarian cancer. We'd schemed and talked about men. We cried on one another's shoulders. We told each other how beautiful we were and how lucky that bloke was to have us. We stuck up for each other when the bloke turned out to be a prick, and hated him with a self rightous anger.  While we listened to Barry Manalow sing, "Looks like we've made it. Left each other all the way to another love..."  We carried one another's deepest darkest secrets for all our lives. We were happy for one another as we each stood up for the other one at our weddings. She was my maid of honor and I was her matron of honor in a bright pink Princess Diana dress.  I was there at the birth of her only child 26 years ago and then we lost touch with each other for years and years, always thinking there would be time to reminisce. It's too late now. Her husband found me last Sunday and let me know of her parting from this earth. It had taken a month to track me down because I hadn't nurtured my dearest friendships.  I was too caught up in raising children, a career and being plain old world weary to the bone. Thank you for the stories you write that give people like me a window of respite from the sadness of real life. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No harm, indeed!  She knows she is looking for him, but he has no idea that Hermione is at TPE. Will she be convinced that Sir Tobias is really truly Severus Snape? How could she doubt? Who else would use such a name? What should she do when she is around the real Professor Snape if she decides he is the one she has been having this kinky sex with? Is there a way she could leave a hint that she is Kitty? Would it be unethical to expose their partner's identities? What happens if she decides to start having all kinds of cat fripperies other than stationary and Severus notices. Somehow I know these two have to figure this out. They are in love so it has to happen. Right? How can she be so calm in his presense after having this kind of encounter? 

So Hermione found out she is in a den of sex looking for Snape. Surprise! She's like:"OMG!" then "What the hell! I can have free sex tonight, possibly with Severus Snape; ...or it could be a stranger. I'm in!" 

Tuesday will be an eye opener for sure! I have a feeling the Hermione is about to find out she has a wild side she never knew existed.  Severus is being polite to her and she doesn't even seem to care. Defiantly PTSD/OCD/PMS for lonely hearts. Harry and Draco make a good couple. Neville and Ginny...not sure. I think the only couple Jkr was right about was Neville and Luna. I can accept a Ginny/Neville though. He would balance her out. 

Oh leave over, Hermione! Seriously. Maybe what he is up to just ins't any of your business.  And he still has books of dark magic in his rooms that he has to keep out of the hands of idiots.  I guess you don't have enough to do and it takes a while to get over the war. Old habits die hard. Maybe you have a PTSD/OCD suspician syndrom. I just made that up. It's long for paranoid. Well, hopefully this will lead to happiness for you and Snape. 

Thank you! For your story and especially for the heartwarming finish.

I'm glad Severus saw the letter, and has decided to be with Hermione. I have the feeling she's not at TPE for him. I hope he's able to stop her from being with someone else. Snce he returns her feelings, it's going to hurt him that she'll be with someone else, even though she doesn't know he loves her.

Severus had best be honest with Hermoine, she will accecpt nothing else.

Sir Tobias, onward! Sigh ...
Thank you for another wonderful chapter!

Simply wonderful.  <3

Love it, can't wait for more! As usual lol
