Thank you. I don't know however when I'll be able to submit the next chapter.

Anticipation makes the heart grow fonder? hmm? hehe Here's to the next installment!

Thank you. I'll post the next chapter when my beta, who is on holiday, will send it back to me.

Thanks so much.

Thank you for letting me know your opinion.

Even Weasley's products must have tasted better.

Hermione will be able to run rings around Snape, but give her a few years to learn how. A very few years.

She's learnt her lesson... hard. Thanks for reading.

Everything won't be that easy for him. Everything will of course turn out right in the end, but I'm not sure my definition of right will match the definition of all my readers (I haven't planned a sad ending).

I've tried to keep my Severus as snarky as possible. He's a true bastard in this story, but Hermione will be able to find a way around this most didagreeable trait.

She would have to try very hard because Severus really doesn't want to lose his job (that he enjoys way too much, which he'd never acknowledged). Alas for Hermione, Severus has a lot more practice at this kind of game.

Severus is smug, but he doesn't live with Hermione yet ;)

You're right about Hermione having a rough road ahead of her, but she'll overcome the obstacles.

I'm sure she will as well. Once she gets the hang of him--in a few years--she'll lead him by the tip of his nose.

But she's having a hard time. Thanks for reading.

Doesn't the Wizarding World have the law stating everithing signed under the influence of alcohol or any other drug is automatically invalid?

You'll learn more about it in chapter 6. That remark is spot on.

It would be very Slytherin if that kind of law  didn't exist.

Thank you. I'll tell you more next week ;)

Being cold is what has saved him after the battle and at his trial. It's a way of being. About the "do you love your parents?" question, I wondered what would this Snape think, and neither yes nor no were obvious, so it had to be "I don't know". He made himself not care about them.Once more, thanks for reading.

I too think that people can be numb-minded by grief. She'll experience depression a bit. Well, I used my own memories of the most despairing moments of my life, and I remember that I felt concerned by nothing at that time. I'm so glad that moments were short in time!

I let myself loose a bit in this fic *smirk* Thanks for reading.

Perhaps, but then, Severus is experienced with women, not in wooing them. Thanks for reading.

He has one, huge advanage here - he knows they are 90% compatibile.

Thinking about it - there are three advantages:

1) He knows;

2) She knows;

3) They know.

When do You plan posting the next chapter? 

The next chapter will be posted next week. After, I don't know.

The parallel is easy to make, isn't it? Thanks for reading.

Indeed it will be a shock, but Severus is very good at getting over shock and at turning them to his advantage.

The next chapter will be enjoyable, or at least, I enjoyed myself too much writing it. Thanks for reading.

I really didn't picture him as Lecter-esque, but if it is how you see him, I won't complain at all ;)

Thank you very much. This is my own brand of humour, and I'm glad you appreciate it.

LOL I wonder who she is as well ;)Hey! A woman can be as difficult to please than Voldemort, don't you think?About the courting, Severus's idea of it is quite... unique, as you'll see next chapter.Thank you for reading.

Of course we all know who it is ;) The meeting in chapter five, next week. Thanks for reading.

Don't worry, I will be able to update next week without delay. Thank you for your comment.
