Oh, I want to know what happens next! Good thing Hermione doesn't put up with any crap from Severus, but isn't scared off easily. I felt a bit sorry for him with all his insecurities getting the better of him. Loved the contrast between the desert here and the garden in the last chapter.

More, more give me more!

This is still really good - keep going:)

Nothing like a desert to bring two people together--well, sort of.  Great chapter.  I really thought that Severus' response was in character.  Nicely done.

This chapter was just oh so very rich! I really loved Minerva in her Animagus form, Snape's ruminitions, and Snape and Hermione's interactions in the desert. Really well done!

Very good chapter.  In it you deal with one of the major obstacles to Severus' happiness:

"Good luck with your mouth!" as a comic - whose name escapes me - used to say.  When upset or stressed, Severus shoots from the lip.  Then he regrets his rash speech later, as he did when Lily Evans dumped him with such devastating finality.

Lucky for him, Hermione is an entirely different individual from Lily Evans.  Good job! 

Love it!!! 

The Gobi dessert: mirroring Severus' bleak outlook on the possibility of a relationship between them working out, and the harsh attitude with which he treated her...  perfect setting. 

And now, thanks to Minerva finding the corridor's entrance, they're going to have several peeping toms observing how their relationship changes everytime they re-enter the corridor... Snape is not going to be happy when he finds out (especially since Harry is going to be involved) regardless of it happening because they're worried about them. 

could it be that they'll have to resort to the muggle way of keeping warm and share body heat... hope so!  

lol. Loved Hermione's last response to Severus.You guys are great working together and this story is getting better by the chapter. Good work.

And back comes the angsty bits... Good job. You've left me some fun to play with.

Severus really needs to watch his temper.  I certainly don't blame Hermione for the reaction.  I'm really enjoying this, by the way. 

Interesting, Severus needed a good slap, he is just to self absorbed.

Nicely done! I really like that Hermione slapped him for what he said. No Doormat!Hermione in our story, woot! :-D And that bit about Snape's last sexual experience was very sad and poignant. Beautifully written!

Oh, I do like the way you're going! Well done!!!

lovely, quite lovely.    i can only imagin what it would be like to see ones self and one's person of interest going at it like rabid weasels!  thanks for the update.

This was fun! And I didn't expect Gabrielle to be 'Arry's blond friend.

And one can hope Severus and Hermione are actually, um, getting somewhere. Eventually. Wherever the lovely authors decide to take them! 

Your story is as charming as usuall. But the round robbin is quite interesting also. This seams to compleatlly keep me of task to see how things may come out. even if you know all the writers you cant get in to a riythem as to  how you think things are going. And you simply have to through in new twists to se how they respond. So good luck to soul bound and hope to see something new soon. Thanks. Bill

More more more!  Write 'em through the door!  *shikkashikkas her plot-bunny pompoms at Team Snarky SandWitches for inspiration*...Now update quickly, so I don't have to do that again!~Lotm

Great job!

Terrific story ladies!  I don't see how it can get much better than this, but obviously it will....hehehe the rooms and details are fabulous!

That was a sweet chapter.  And I love the debate over who was Harry's lover.  

excellent story witches.  i'm glad i was a little behind. more to enjoy at once.

I'm loving this!

You ladies are quite gifted. 

I like how Snape could go from playful, to defensive, to open.  He felt complex and real.

rats!  i thot it was draco for sure!  loving this so far.  thanks so much to all of you.
