Hermione, Hermione, Hermione...you silly, SILLY creature! How can someone whose intelligence is vaunted so highly and so often as yours is be so monumentally THICK?!?!  Well, she is a Gryffindor...and while most of them may have courage in bucketfuls, many of them come across as having been absent when common sense was being handed out -- at least until they get older (and sometimes not even then).  Still, Hermione almost made it into Ravenclaw...almost being the operative word, I suspect!  I suspect Hermione thought that she was only being fair to Severus by suggesting that they should be free to take lovers...but it also reeks of wounded pride to me, and it doesn't take a Head Girl to realize that saying that would probably only have convinced Severus that any feelings he may have had for her were not returned.

I love the interactions between all of them :)

Oh my, love your story! I hope you will add new chapters soon, and will let us know more about Hermione and Severus marriage, I (among most others I guess) have a lot of questions about that. I also love the Draco/Luna pairing, you make them good together. Will you let us know anything about Harry and Ron? Anyway, keep up the great work.

I love this story! In case you didn't see my previous review that got lost, I just want to say thank you for the update. I can't wait to see why Hermione is avoiding Severus. The girl power in me says it's his fault.

what a teaser, by the way is this story posted elsewhere?  I read so much I get confused! lol great story.

First thanks to Luna who save Hermione from an embarrassing situation.Second  : to answer Hermione question, Severus will be asked for the godfather position which will make things really more funny.BTW how many chapters do you think your story will be (just for mentally preparing myself to the inevitably end). As always very good job

Poor Hermione. No way to escape this time. She will have to endure the torture of being kissed by the man she loves and who loves her in return. Thanks to that little girl (a future Slythrin) and to her mother for not letting Hermione the possibility of fighting him. And thanks to you for writing this chapter

I really wonder what happens between the two of them. Well let's guess.They were forced to marry each other which could explain that particular point in the marriage contract :"when we married we agreed that the other party was free to see whomever they chose so long as they don’t bring whoever it was back home"Well at last they didn't marry for love. But that changed for her even for him and they just didn't dare to say it to the other. So after a while she decided to go away before her heart broke apart completely (in fact it was to late) and plunged into study "working herself near-death".So am I close ? ;)Sorry for this : that's what happen when I let my romantical fiber get out from me, especially with that pairing. Also sorry for not rewieing the previous chapter but I didn't know what to say and needed to read more before having an opinion. Oh And BTW if it wasn't clear I really like what you wrote and I'm going to read the next just now

I'm glad you updated this. I can't wait to see where this goes!

I'm glad you updated this. I can't wait to see where this goes!

Great .  Is a shame you haven't updated.  I will love to read more.  This situation in Malfoy Manor is very suspicious.  I believed Draco and Luna have some play in Hermione situation.

I'm very intrigued as to why they broke up. Also, nice touch with Draco being "normal".

What an interesting marriage?  Why did Hermione leave? 

Marvelous job on Severus' jealous, "Who. Is. He?"  reaction.  Hee!

I can't WAIT until Hermione comes in contact with other characters.  Maybe they will have answers as to why our lovely, little Hermione left her husband.  Good job!

Okay.  You've hooked me now.  I need to to how they got married, why they broke up, and why on Earth would Severus agree to an open relationship!!   Please update soon.

how awkward lol. I hope to find out what his reaction to the book is!

Oh this is getting good.  when can we expect the next chapter?  waiting with anticipation.

p 

Update update update!!! Love how this story is going and the tension between then. Whee!

Yes, Merlin help us. We want a new chapter.  I like how he is keeping her off balance.  Is everyone working with Sev to bring Hermione home to him?  Waiting for more. P

I'm looking forward to the rest of the story ... like what happened in the first place to cause the separation.  So far, it's an excellent story.  Thanks for sharing it!

You know, I love this story, but I can't wait to find out why it really is that Hermione is having such a hard time with it all!  I mean, if Severus Snape wanted me (and I really think I speak for us all) I would have no problems with that at all!  ;)

There is short chapter, then there is a fragment. This is a fragment and where you left it does not compel the reader to wait for more. Thank you for writing, but please write a bit more for the opening chapter if you wish to capture an audience

I can see why Hermione would love Autumn--that seems like her season.  A few minor points, a couple present/past tense errors.  But, that's very unimportant and, overall, a very nice job.  Well done!

~Julia~ 

Very interesting beginning. I look forward to the rest. Any news on x-mas negotiations? (Not to put pressure on you mind - I just love the story)

Surprisingly short.. hope there's more to read soon..

sounds like a good beginning. waiting for more. p
