One question: Did they have some of her (Clearwater) clothes there or did he wear his own or even Hermione's?Tamara
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
Oh,yeah, it looks like I didn't say, doesn't it? Okay, improvise, notsosaintly. Right. Well, the headmaster had some generic female robes sent down to his quarters, knowing that he'd be needing to dress in something or else go starkers. He figured there was no reason to excite the rest of the seventh-year girls, and most definitely wanted to resume his infernal matchmaking with Hermione.Not too exciting, but there you have it. LOL
Holy cow, that was intermission! And I thought the show was good. lol. Tamara
I think something is missing in this, "Dinner, thankfully, was a small affair. The only people present were Molly, Arthur, inny and Harry. The only reason I even bring it up is, I thought they got a house-elf and named it "inny" and I about busted a gut when I saw it was only a typo. Tamara
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
I almost spit out my drink when I saw that. Is that "inny" like "outy"? Perhaps someone's navel was invited to dinner. *ogles Severus's navel*
ROFLMAO This is so what I needed today. Thank you so much for writing this. Tamara

What, you like it when I torture Harry Potter? Hmm... that would be an excellent title for another story.
That damn Albus, always in the way. It's like some kind of turn on for him or something. I don't usually have weird dreams after amazing sex. I don't think I dream at all. Oh wait a minute I have to have amazing sex first. lol. Sorry got ahead of myself. Tamara
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
LOLOL!! Yeah, that would have to come first, which is probably why I had to use my imagination to come up with that Hermione had strange dreams afterwards!Oh, and how do you think Albus gets it on? This is how.
Do you ever get sick of hearing the same thing over and over again? I tried of writing the same review. It's brilliant, it's perfect, I loved it, but you hear that all the time and you know it too. It's hard to come up with something new to say. I'm not a writer so what to do. Oh no I'm babbling. Sorry.You are the bomb. lol Just came me. TamaraHaving one of those days!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
LOL! It must be really difficult leaving all those reviews. I believe you. I admit to not being as diligent as you are on that score. But reviewing is just as important as writing!
Top marks for this chapter - I loved how she healed him and then they are going to marry at stonehenge - this chapter was also such a tear jerker - great work.
Oh crap what a cliffie - the spell worked but Hermione is in serious danger and now Severus has three on one with his lady love down. I cannot wait to read the next chapter - great original thinking.
Each stone a portkey - sounds bad for all. Another great chapter - cannot wait to see how you combat the portkey issue.
I love how you have taken the relationship to the point that they are in love. How she is a balm to his soul.
ewww - poor Severus had to be Clearwater and have a go with the Dark Lord - EWWWWW - that cannot be said enough. Poor guy - when he gets back to Hogwarts I would be suprised if he scrubs himself raw. Intense chapter but a necessary evil.
The teasing scene between them was too hot - it was an inferno of good reading -lol. The breakfast buffet was a slick Albus trick - I loved the set-up - another well written chapter.
Good chapter - the desperation in the way he took her when he arrived back at his rooms - showed him along with what Albus said that she is his strength and his rock. Good way of writing it.
Great idea that Hermione found a way to remove Severus's mark as well as all the other deatheaters and take away Voldemort's power at the same time - very clever. Good chapter.
Naughty Severus to notice his boobs when polyjuiced - LOL. It was interesting what he found in Clearwater's room - they spy has been found it. Good job.
Domestic life seems to be suiting them well - the bathroom scene was so hot. You have written them so passionately. The way the look at each other, touch, everything - is absolutely steamy. - Good work.
Great chapter - good thinking with Hermione to polyjuice the spy, knock them out and find out what is going on.
It is a gamble since polyjuice wears off quickly though.
Sneaky Albus and poor Harry - I thought he was going to be sick or pass out by the way he looked. The ending where he was carrying her out and they ran into Mrs Weasley - well it was priceless.
Good chapter - I cannot believe Albus called out to her - the mortification of it all - poor embarassed Hermione. I wonder who the spy is???
Loved the 1st chapter - the idea that a rare book was in the black collection was a great idea. I liked how she helped him and then how they made love together. Very sensual chapter.
I've just finished this absolute triumph of yours again. And here it is the day before DH hits and does who-knows-what to our beloved Potions Master and everyone else. I've commented (elsewhere I believe) that the first and last chapters of this story are two of the most touching things that I have ever read in all my forays into fanfiction, and it still stands true. So another heartfelt thank you for this treasure that you've gifted us all with and wishes that you (and everyone) continue to love and adore this world that we've been happily a part of for so long.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
Thank you. I have no intentions of abandonning this lovely world, no matter what happens with the release of DH.
I just re-read it all, and it's still incredibly enjoyable. Even post-HBP, I think it's still a valid fic.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
Thanks, Z!! How've ya been? Yeah, we'll just say that Albus didn't really die and Severus was exonerated. I kind of like that not-so-dark version better sometimes. Oh, the joys of fanfic.
Response from zambonigirl (Reviewer)
I'm not saying that it's HBP compliant, but seriously? If you were to put a little blurb about that in there, it could be. I mean, I've seen more improbable ideas in recent fanfic...But still, it's fluffy and fun, and a good go-to piece for lots of porn with a pretty awesome plot.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
I'm happy that you thought it has a good plot. I always thought this was more like porn-WITH-plot. *smirk* Maybe I should make that a genre.
I looked throught your writings after I just read your last story and found this one.. I'm a sucker for stories with a lot of plot and that are long.. .And I really liked your story beleive it or not.. It was really good, and I am glad the PWP run away with you with a plott....
Response from notsosaintly (Author of Soothing Hands)
Thank you very much! Yes, this started out as a one-shot, but then the plot happened. I love it when that happens. I'm currently working on a story, however, that is focussed on plot. I hope you look for it when I start posting!
I just loved this story! I just read it again for the second time. It is one of my favorites. It is 5 am in the morning right now and I just finished it. I couldn't stop reading once I started. I gotta go to bed now. LOL! Thanks for writing it.
Thank you for this wonderfully story. I too, am glad that you finished it. Cheers, Sonia
