Well, this Memory Potion doesn't make one forget, but enhances memory.  I have a feeling Hermione won't notice a thing, though, since we all know how good her memory is.  If anything, maybe it'll remind her not to play with Harry. 

Yeah, maybe the Memory Potion will help her remember not to play with "taken" boys, is right. 

Just thought I'd point out ... he's not engaged to Ginny.  He's engaged to the Minister's daughter.  I'd say that Harry's not too thrilled about it, though. 

Hey there!  Glad you liked my twist.  There's a few in this story, just to keep it interesting.  *snicker*

Yeah.  Oops is right.  Pretty scary that an apothecary can make a mistake like that, isn't it?

just for little guess i seen this on soaps all the time am sure hermione will get pregnant and not know if it is harry's or severus's scine the potion was not a moring after one. and am sure who ever harry is marring is not going to be a happy person. like i said the frist i would be pissed. i do not know how anyone can forgive some for cheating my best friend forgave her boyfriend the 3 times he did. it is one stike and your out with me. and like is said before this is the last chapter am reading not only because of the deatil sex scene she had with harry. but the cheating part to.

Oh, hpf, you must have been really bothered by the cheating thing to have made an addition to your review. I'm so sorry for that. I do feel rotten that you were this bothered. On the other hand, if I did make you feel this bothered, then I must have written a pretty powerful chapter.

You are right. It IS wrong, even if you are drunk. I do so agree with you. One thing I wanted to portray in this story is real life. Sometimes I think we readers get lulled into an HP fantasy world, and real life is taken out of the equation. Things like this happen all the time in real life, and I wanted my characters to be a part of that.

If it is any consolation, this is the ONLY time there will be infidelity shown in this story, and the ONLY time she will have that kind of contact with Harry. Harry was a bad boy. Hermione was a bad girl, for sure. It is unforgiveable. There will be consequences, believe me.

I am nearly 40, and I've seen a lot of instances of cheating in my life. I used to feel more adamant about it than I do now. Maybe I'm a little jaded. This chapter was not easy to write. I don't particularly "go for" HP/HG, but it is instrumental to the story as the story progresses, due to the consequences.

I feel bad that you won't read anymore due to this one scene. (Sorry again!) I know how you must be feeling, so I do understand. Perhaps ... oh, I don't know, Tutoring Session is more your cup of tea? I do need to update that one, don't I?

Tutoring Session  i like that one so far. am picky about my hermione and severus stories. i like my hermione and severus stories where they only have detail sex scenes with each other for it is worth you are a powerful writer. i have a story on aff that shows severus getting rape by a female death eater. and that is something you never hear about in the news. what did you think of my friend taking her boyfriend back the 3 times he cheated on her.

I think if you take someone back once, that's understandable.  People make mistakes, and may be really sorry, and it is entirely possible that he/she would never do it again.  But if it happens a second time? The guy (girl, whomever does the cheating) should be history.  Gone.  A repeat cheater is always a cheater, I've discovered.   A leopard doesn't change his spots, unless he wants to trick someone into thinking he has....

Stalker?  Hehehe.  You'll have to wait to find out.  (Next installment coming soon.)

I'm very happy that you are liking it.  I like the 'sweet' and 'cozy' bit.  I am trying to establish a certain atmosphere.

Oh, there'll be more Stranger definitely.  No worries there.  ;)

Thank you, Christy.  I concentrated this time on setting things up more, developing characters and situations.

*lol* I read the review before I took note of the reviewer.  *snicker*  I can't say anything else or I'd be giving it all away. 

(Back to work.)

Well, there is a lot to tell.  There's a bit of mystery, a bit of angst, a bit of fun hopefully...  I just hope you like the next chapter.

I'm happy you'll be waiting to find out more.  Everything you want to know will be answered in due time.

Being fixated is not a bad thing.  Hermione is a little fixated herself on her bookshop's success.

This is true.  I am paying attention to HBP and trying to also use my Divination skills to take into consideration what may happen in Deathly Hallows.  God knows I have no idea what that may be ... and no theories ... but I'm trying!

Eerie?    Just wait until the next chapter.  You may just change your mind about that adjective.

I'm happy you love it.  Hopefully all of those questions will be answered for you!

Thank you!  My beta and I are working on the second installment right now.  There'll be more very soon. 

Thank you.  More will be coming soon!
