They have so far to go.  I'm really hoping for a happy ending. 

Brings whole new meaning to kisses being like magic. Ah, dear petty Severus. I could almost hear him spitefully thinking "I'll give you a picture but I'll be damned if it's one of the good ones."

Kinky tea. hahaSorry.Love these two chapters, can't wait for more!Keep writing!

And they're back on a even keel, for the time being, anyway! :)

It's liked Snape's sympathy towards Ron, even as he gives him a photo with a bent corner.

Is Hermione aware of the fact that Snape does find her physically attractive?  

Patience certainly seems to be needed here. For me, anyway! ;-) A lovely chapter and I really appreciated all the tea talk!

It's really got to be hard when you're fighting yourself... that metaphorical daisy that Severus has been plucking at has to be shredded to pieces by now...

'I love her, I love her not, I love her, I love her not.'

*grins*

Another fine chapter my dear. Looking forward to Friday and Saturday. Hermione deserves to have a great Saturday. Severus owes her a fabulous Saturday.

 Hi,so I have to admit that I love your story. Mainly because your portrayal of hermione and snape. It was true to form in the beginning, and then they changed together. Obviously you already know this, haha. I actually started to read your fiction on sycophant hex. It was purely by accident that I found this site, i was searching for some other stories to keep me entertained while yours was finished. Awesome for me this one was updated further! So really the only purpose of this little message is to say, I absolutely LOVE your story!siriusZ.

Hmmm, Severus is on to something, I think.  As for the tea analogy, well, it sounds punny to say that it's hot, but it is!

I think I'm sexually frustrated I need them to get this party started the right way. The whole tea analogy- bravo!

*Eagerly awaiting the next chappie! Pacing...pacing...*

Livvy 

hahaha... indeed!

A cup of tea my dear? -.- Reading this story is turning me into a manic depressive.*sigh* Very realistically Hermione and Snape your story is. I have to say I expected fall out after reading the last chapter, but I was hoping more on the smaller scale rather than the 'oh look, you still don't have any kind of relationship or understanding with Snape' scale. As always, I wait for the next installment with baited breath.

As always I love this, I'm a bit late reviewing this time but after rereading I had to comment on this particular chapter just because of the fragment of line:"Professor Snape lifted her onto a pedestal"But anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed the Hagrid scene and gift. It seems like a very important turning point for them... or one of the many turning points that are converging on them right now. Now I'm off to read the new chapter and wait for the newer chapter to work its way through the queue.

"Well. Except for the consummation part."I apologise for quoting you back at yourself - but you should know that everyone in the room now thinks I'm a prize clown because of the laugh I let out at this point. *hugs*

Another great chapter. :)

This is such a lovely chapter - I absolutely adore the whole idea of the photo. And quite an interesting twist at the end! Looking forward to more.

Poor Severus!That made me cry.Hes jealous of Ron,good chapter can't wait for more!

Oh for %^&*!! sake, I've lost track . . . when the HELL is it Saturday again??

DAMN that man . . .

well...I believe it is time for tea...for me....bursting releasing .......indeed..... well done.

"I see. My lack of scruples is yet another jot in the ‘for’ column. Fascinating."Perfect!

I love the last lines. When everything else fails, brew tea!

Arrgh!.  Snape! What did you go and do that for, silly man!? 

I know he's smarting over her interaction with Ron, but is he quite aware of both the level of guilt Hermione carries? As well as the fact that he is figuratively slapping her in the face when he snaps at her?

Hi, Mia!I just adore your beautiful story and can't wait for the next chapter to come. I hope you'll get the inspiration enought to finish it. It's the best i've read so far. Thank you very much.

Such a beautifully sad chapter

*wipes away tears and sniffs in unladylike manner* 

Those two just can't have it easy, can they? And does Severus really think she was only saying what she did to manipulate Ron? Oh dear, if so.

Oh man!  That's quite the bombshell to drop.  And you're really loving tantalizing us readers with more bits of "what's up with Hermione" aren't you?  ;-)
