Oh stop fighting it Severus.  You just want love and now you can have it.  give in

So what does it take to completely soothe the desire they feel for each other?  If it's sex, do they have to do it often to keep it at bay?  Wow what a way to go.

Excellent chapter.  I'm dashing off to Flourish & Blotts to see what happens...........................

Update soon please. 

Another great chapter!

Loved the conversation with Bill, especially after Hermione figured out he was going to call their baby-sitters. And the diary part was great! Can't wait 'til they get to the bookstore! 

Love this fic! 

Hopefully the time spent with Ginny will make Harry more reasonable all around, and glad to see that some time and recreation are easing Ron's hurt feelings. The party idea sounds like something that Hermione would do. 

I'm so glad they went to Bill for help! I always thought it was so dumb that they didn't in the books. I mean he's a Curse Breaker, for goodness sake! It's his job to deal with this kind of thing!

Looking forward to the next! 

And at last they have some professional assistance! This is very good. I could wish that Ron could have a nice surgical rectal craniectomy soon, but I won't hold my breath. At least Harry's listening to sense.

Thanks for the update, and I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas too!

You're forgiven because it's nearly Christmas. maybe we couls have more before New year 's Eve ? Anyway Merry Christmas

Love this fic!

Their pillow-talk is very Hermione/Severus. It made me laugh to thing they were still in bed during all that intullectual and theoretical business.

*smacks all adult Order members*  No one thought about sending a patronus? *sighs exasperatedly*  And now (I'm pretty sure at least) Remus knows who she was meeting. Is he going to believe her anymore, about the fact that she has a soul-mate (let alone that it's Snape), or that the information she's relaying is accurate? *worries about the Longbottoms*

Looking forward to more!

So Remus knows?

This story is very good.  I can't wait to read the rest.

This story just keeps getting better and better.

A bit of tenderness in this brutal world. That's what you evoke in me with all the bits of the relationship between our two heroes. HUGE THANKS TO YOU.

Hate to mention it but what exactly is a shirt shelve? Did you perhaps mean shirt sleeve? Loving the story. Truly enjoyable.

Lovely. Remind me to get Hermione to help me make my own lists. This is soooooooo much fun.

Great! I personally cannot think of any woman between the ages of 14 and 60 who wouldn't want to call him "Master".

Ah yes, loved the reference to Sev's probable ancestor, the Sheriff of Nottingham. (cutting the heart out with a spoon) This is getting better by the minute.

To rip a phrase from Dickens, More Please!. And soon. This is a great seasonal find for Snapeaholics.  Blessed be, my dear. Thanks for the enjoyment.

I know I am a stickler for detail but Malfoy's Tweedledum and Tweedledee are CRABBE and Goyle.  This is getting yummy. Reading as fast as I can. Love it.

Another lovely chapter!  I quite liked Hermione's handling of Petunia.  It brought a smile to my face!  Nicely done.

Grrr You live us with too many to think about Hermione's project but I guess transfiguration work will be animagus tranformation. AS for the potion maybe felix felicix but that doesn't take a month to brew. Again it's a so great chapter.

Another great chapter! 

Loved Hermione's treatment of Petunia, and Harry's reaction to it: 

“How did you do that with Petunia? She didn’t even protest,” Harry asked, a bit bemused. “Dumbledore did a smashing job of railroading them last summer, but he was so blatantly magic.” “Acting as though I have a right to dictate to her was the key. Though, I did my best to be conciliatory. That she was probably frightened of what I could do to her surely didn’t hurt.”

The boys shouldn't have been surprised that she wanted to keep training, most of their opponents in this war are at least double their age and have been learning Dark Magic for most of their lives.  Of course they need more training! 

Liked these lines about Ron too:

Twenty minutes later she decided he had been perfectly honest when he said his mind was clear as glass. She could see everything in it. 

Wonder how she's suppossed to pass info, especially 'time-sensitive' stuff to the Order.  Where's she suppossed to say she got it from, and will they just take her word if she says it's from a reliable source?    Curious about the potion.  What could she possibly need 96 doses of? 

Looking forward to the next! 

Excellent chapter.  Of course, now I'm curious as to what Hermione is going to be brewing.

awesome! i'm so glad u are going with the original storyline instead of incorporating Deathly Hallows :Dcan't wait for the next chapter!

Superb

Hermione is probably the first person who has ever taken him at his word.  True, she did ask a lot of questions, and she had the potion's effect to help, but she didn't require any vows or proof from him.  I can definitely see where the joy came from.  Very moving.

Liked her mom too.  Much more understanding than most would be.

I'm looking forward to the next. ^_^
