...And the Bearded Bastard strikes again!  *grrrrrrrrs*Post quickly, or I'll stage a Ban the Bearded Bastard protest!~Lotm

hermione's mom is one overbarren mother. i hate those kind of moms my ex's mom was an overbarren mother.

Thanks for the amsuing and entertaining chap - Hermione's parents were great fun.

I'm curious what you've up your sleeves for the bachelor auction.

I like her dad, and the idea of all of them drinking together and getting cozy.  It seems very in-character for Severus to struggle to tell her he loves her, and I hope he gets the words out when he sees her.  Ahem.... a fitting?? What is he supposed to wear, a leopard-print thong or something?

Oh, I can't wait for the auction, does he need a new set of wedding robes possibly, then it will be time to let the smut ensue, you have to earn the NC-17 rating after all. Look forward to the last chapter, but am a little sad to see it end.

I really like your characterization of Mr. Granger, very different from the usual. So what is this fitting about, and when will Severus tell Hermione?

My lover Sir Catogan and I were just thinking that it has been a long time since we were able to doing anything like that in three dimensions.  We are quite jealous of the time Severus and Hermione are able to spend together, and by the way, we saw them leaving each other's chambers in the morning.  Both times.

Their secret is safe with us. 

Sir Catogan told me that he saw the whole thing. Apperently, Remus Lupin challenged Severus to a dule to deffend Miss Grangers honor, which he cowardly refused.  Yet you seem to have left that part out.  Hm, could it be you are tying to keep everyone seeing Severus in a positive, non-cowardly light?

We certainly think so.

For Shame. 

Sir Catogan mentioned to me that he did, in fact, see the whole thing.  He thought it to be most disgraceful behavior for a member of the Hogwarts faculty.  And then he proved he could do better.

that's really funny but I think Severus is too soft. I like to see him a bit sharper. And I wonder where the bachelor auction thing has gone. Are you planning that Severus won't be a bachelor anymore on that day? When I read the first chapter and the summary I was assuming that Hermione will buy him at the auction and then after that evenning he was beginning considering her. SO is there still an auction or not?

It was just smutty enough. :D

Sir Catogan was telling me that he was witness to the Headmaster informing Severus of the auction.  He said Severus was quite upset.  I can't blame him.  We can only hope that Hermione knows what she's doing.  We hope she can make him feel better.

Oh, The Parents. Hope that goes well but there always *does* seem to be that potential for jumping to conclusions for both members of the happy couple. Severus seems a bit of a softie (emotionally speaking that is) in this chapter but I'm enjoying the progress of the romance too much to see that as a bother!

Uh, I don't think you have any difficulties at all writing smut. *fans self* Nope. Definitely not!

Ah,  the green-eyed monster! Good for Snape for being mature enough to recognize it for what it is!

And the last line? PERFECTION. Sigh. Lovely.

Awe!!!!!!! Totally Awe!!!!!!! I hope her parents are good to him. He's having such a tough time with all the newness...

Nice smut.  Don't knock it.  Instead, write more of it!  *grins, waves torch enthusiastically*~Lotm

Wow I can't believe it's only been a week for them. Talk about whirlwind romance, and meeting the inlaws already. 

OMG I can't wait for him to meet the parents.  I find it hard to picture Severus so unsure of himself, it must be true love.  I am really enjoying this fic.

(blinks....) Did I miss the Bachelor Auction?  How'd that happen??  Oh well, looking forward to meeting her parents.  Thanks for the new chapter!

Very cute and sweet chapter.

Another awesome chapter! I loved it, and am waiting anxiously for more! But, it's going to be over so soon? Only two more chapters? Wow! That's fast!More! Soon! PLEASE???SD

What a great chapter.  The way you write their developing relationship is so believable.  And a great little trip into the lemon orchid (that was hot), can't wait to see what you do with the full lemons.  Can't wait for more.  Toodles, Alexandra.

OOOOO  luv the smut!!  Perfect amount of "smuttiness"!It's just so much fun.  I can't believe there's only 2 chapters left, but I know I'll enjoy them as much as the others.  Thanks so much for creating this wonderful world to lose ourselves in. 

Suprisingly enough, I like the way they are building the intimacies they share, and the smut fits nicely :)

I can't  wait to see what happens at her parents.

I can't wait for Sev to meet the parents.  :)
