This was absolutely the best, most tasteful sex scene I've ever read in fanfiction.  I was worried for a moment that Severus would discover the Felix and get into a snit, but he seems to realize that she wants him regardless.  And Mad-Eye and Minerva?!!!  I'll be having THAT picture in my mind for a very long time!  Loved the terrier Patronus chasing its tail before leaving  - a great touch.  Absolutely wonderful chapter!

Love your story.  Patience is not one of my virtues (I think I have one somewhere) so I very much appreciate the frequent updates.  Interested to see where this goes next!  Thanks for your work!

That was so lovely and beautiful! Thank you for making me smile.

*running for a tissue*  This was so wonderful!  I can't think of anything else to say other than that.  My hat is off to you.

Wonderful, simplistic beauty.  Just the right touch.  Thanks, JoAnne

Aaw! Damn Lupin, getting in the way! Never send a Gryffindor to do a Slytherin's job, I always say! *grumbles*

Oooh I wonder what the Howler said exactly?

*sigh*...how romantic!    Thank you Subversa

Will the food get ruined? Will the anklet have some part on the lemony part of the story? Will Severus get in trouble for helping Remus? Will Minerva stop meddling? Will some lemons come soon? Will you update soon enough? ...I have so many question, and no patience at all! Great plot! More please... I'll be waiting for the next update!

Castle Anthrax, eh?  I always was of the opinion that this fandom needed more Monty Python jokes.

'Renegade bushiness' - I love it!  I hope Remus will be okay, and I also hope that Hermione won't be totally mad at Severus for being delayed.  Great stuff!

Oh bugger! She worked so hard to make everything look  nice and now he doesn't show up. I know it's not his fault, but still.

No, don't stop there!  Please update soon.  Great story.

No Cliffie's Missy!  Get on with it..."Yes, get on with it"!  (Sorry, it's such a good story don't want to have any breaks).

Yep, classic consummation night fiasco. Let's see how well this goes.

And amen to the last two lines.

What a delightfully long chapter!  Poor Hermione.  I must say that I don't envy Severus when he gets back home.  I loved their corespondence by owl post.  I also really liked the advent of Poppy into the story.  Well done!

oh bugger!  What about the darn charm?  I hope they don't get into trouble.thanks for updating so quickly.  this is a great story and I enjoy each new chaptermarti

Oh that is so sad! The poor girl is sitting there all dressed up and he isn't coming...

I am loving the develpoment of the relationship between them. Although I can see where there will be problems cropping up (God I *hope* Severus doesn't do a Wham-Bam-Thank You Ma'am and leave her alone in the bed after they consummate), there is such hope that it will all work out. You can see genuine affection starting to take root.

Wonderful update, and I can't wait for the next chapter! 

I knew Severus and Sirius had more in common than their hatred of each other.  Love that part -- love it all really.  I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.  Thanks, JoAnne

Good for Severus!  That'll show the old bat!  Oh, how I wish i had a Howler for my ex-mother in law...or three...or tencan't wait for the next chaptermarti

Excellent, really excellent so far!

The newlywed test is too true. I'm loving this story.

A howler to Severus' mother - how great what that!  I'm curious about the Prince business, though.  Looking forward to more.

Excellent.  Snape seems more intrigued about this marriage  that he lets on to everyone else.  QUick update!

love the story.
