Even know-it-alls don't know it all. **Note: This story is on haitus. It isn't abandoned; I simply have no idea when it will be continued.

Reviews for THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer
Hot chapter, but at the same time prodded the plot along. The wait between updates is almost worth it 
Sorry but greedy fangirl here.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Yes, I added a bit more plot this time, which is why it ended up being such a long chapter. But I'm happy it was worth it to you!
*fans self*Is it hot in here, or is it just you?I'm so glad you're re-writing this. It's actually better than the first, which seems impossible!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Liked that chapter, did you? *lol* Good to know. I'll have to make it hotter next time. *smirk*

WHEN THEY GOING TO HAVE SEX?!
Author's Response: *cough* Why miss all the good stuff that comes before that?
In re-reading Ch 5, I noted this little shady place. In reference to Severus using legilimency on HG in Great Hall, you wrote: "She closed her eyes, inviting him in. The fingers of his consciousness reached out to her and caressed the recesses of her mind intimately, drawing out the images of her and him, her with him, her thinking about him." ...I've just checked it out at the Lex and Snape always looked into their eyes to be able to use the spell.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Well, I actually researched this before writing it. The Lexicon states this: " Legilimency is easier when the spell-caster is physically near the target, and when the target is off-guard, relaxed, or otherwise vulnerable. Eye contact is often essential, so it is useful for a Legilimens to verbally manipulate his or her target into meeting the Legilimens' eyes, with the fringe benefit that the target's emotional state may bring relevant associated memories to the surface (OP24, OP26)."
It says eye contact is often essential, but not that it is always needed. If Snape were an expert Legilimens, I'm sure he could get away with it. Still, in this chapter, eye contact was made when he initiated the spell.
Also, it never says for absolute certain if the eye contact must be maintained once the spell has taken hold. It mentions 'eyes boring' into the other's and how he avoiding making eye contact or Harry looked away from Snape. But it is never clear whether the Legilimency spell is terminated completely if one were to close one's eyes. It is a grey area and there are a couple opinions written by the owners of HPL, but this is one of the places where I feel writer's liberty is fine to use.
I love this story and have despaired of you ever finishing it! Please continue and finish the tale!

Thank you ... it's words like this that make me want to write more!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I loved this update. Hermione is still young, and willingly admits this. I enjoy how you have shown she is separate from her own age group, yet not on the level of those older.
I think a little Creevy is going to bust them though. His poor little heart will break when he sees his crush with the Head of Slytherin!
Can't wait for the next update!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
*lol* Now wouldn't that be funny ... Creevey finding Snape snogging Hermione in a corridor! (If I write that, it'll be all your fault, you know.)
Response from CharmedForce (Reviewer)
Ooh Ooh, blame me! Blame me!
Maybe their snogging session should be interrupted by a squeak and a *thud* as he hits the floor in a dead faint. XD
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Ha! Or he'll be grinning and bouncing up and down, saying, "Oh, I've always wanted to try that ... can I join in?" And then our couple will hex him into a dried prune or something. *snort*
Response from CharmedForce (Reviewer)
That'll make for a good denial when he tells everyone he caught them. "Who would you believe, lil ol' me or Colon, I mean Colin..."
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Damn !!!Can't wait for the next chapter.This is brilliant.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Thank you!
You write the most amazing kisses....
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Thank you! No one's ever told me that before. *blushes* 
Thank you so much for adding more to this story. I had always enjoyed this premise and I am glad it is not abandoned. Thank you.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Definitely not abandoned. I just have to be in the right ... mood to write this.
Oh gods, notsosaintly! Please, don't leave it there! This is an awesome story! I remember reading it a long time ago, but when it was still in it's infancy, and now that I've re-read the chapters I had originally started, and read the remaining until now unread chapters, I find myself fully caught up in their passion and I want to read more! Excellent job!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Thank you! I'll definitely continue the story, though I'm trying at the moment to finish another. This one is sort of canon-resistant, I think, so it'll still be fine after the last book comes out.
My god this story is HOT! I do hope you will be updating it at some point soon as I would love to read what happens next. I wish someone would seduce me in such a way. Very well written.Heather
*whimper* Oh my.....I shouldn't have read this....now I am all worked up and my husband won't be home for another 10 hours. *sigh* Looks like I need to take things into my own hand. Please update this story when you get a chance. It just makes me all tingly inside.
mmmmm delicious...excuse me, I need to go attack my husband.
Okay, it's time for another chapter, dear Author. Something to bring a lottle magic into our lives....
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Ah, I know what you mean. There really does need to be another chapter to this story. It'll happen, don't worry. Thanks for the nudge.
Oh, how I love your work!!! You keep me lustily wanting more!!! Thank you for the update and hope to read more soon.
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)

Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Outside we are having the first real snowfall, and bitter cold and wind. But inside, it's HOT!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)

I'm definitely working on it! *lol*
HOT HOT HOT !!!! Damn ! Warn a person before you tell us to come read, heheh...*fans self*
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
*snicker* Ah, but springing the good parts on you is half the fun!
Oh my. My heart's racing. This is so sensuous - I'm looking forward to the next lesson!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Thank you ... I'm looking forward to writing the next lesson!
oh my! Thank goodness for the darkened alcove or they would have exploded!!
Response from notsosaintly (Author of THE TUTORING SESSION: A Virgin's Primer)
Thank you so much for reviewing every chapter! I'm going to reply only to this one, though, since I'm in the middle of cleaning and repairing around the house.
I'm happy that you loved the tension, the slow build-up and the steamy notes. And, you're right, thank goodness for darkened alcoves. I'm currently scheming over what will happen next!
I predict months of building sexual tension and angst waiting for the damn school to be done with so they can get it on!! Although Id rather they dont wait. Those note were so steamy!
He is such a TEASE! Oh and I kept feeling panic-y thinking one of the other students was going to turn around and see them so close to eachother! The tension!!!
Do you promise that Hermione will stop being a door mat where the Creevys are concerned? I want her to stop spending her time with boys! I look forward to the dentenion! Naughty!
