A plotting Hermione is a woman to be given a wide berth! woot!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Indeed. Thanks!
And the very best line of the whole chapter "All work and no play makes Severus a dull villain," ou la la so romantic!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
*bows* Thanks!
Oh the chapter where it all comes apart. I liked them working together towards their shared goal. Now all the missunderstandings, hurt feelings etc...grrrrr good think I know there is a happy ending coming.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
But it had to happen at some point...
"Tall, Dark and Dangerous"Ouuuuu that should be the theme to my LJ. It describes Snape to a T doesnt it??
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Mmmm. Yum!
Thank goodness Hermione scheduled breaks into their day. I cannot imagine the meltdown of epic proportions that would have occured without relaxing. Meep!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Well, she is the brightest witch of her age...
Severus, Neville hasnt got a thang on you! You are sex on 2 legs. Whoa!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
You're biased - admit it.
Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)
I confess!
And of course Severus takes her meaning backasswards per usual. Men.

*rolls eyes*
Delightful ending to a delightful story, with a good dose of angst in the middle. I really enjoyed your tale and your writing is lovely and flows.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and that my style pleased you!
New routines are hard to fashion, poor floundering Snape!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
He'll get there.
"It's almost enough to make you believe in magic, isn't it?" replied the Headmistress drolly. I think this is your best line of the first chapter, well right after that bit about no snakes in Ireland anyway. yes I am back for a reread.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Hello again! Am deeply flattered at being re-read!
Somehow a masked ball wouldnt have been terribly appropriate with DEs running about would it? War is over let the games begin!!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Never thought of that - good point!
It's a lovely story, it is. Severus in jeans and a badly knitted sweater is serious drool-fodder, and my heart just went out to poor Neville - I'm glad you let him find happiness at the end. Beautiful, dear Dicky.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you so much! And of course I had to ensure Neville was happy, too.
Thanks for the story; I really enjoyed it all the way through!Nice touch with gay Neville and the Very Nice Arse at the end. That made for a beautiful ending. :)
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you very much indeed!
Thank you for writing and posting! I like the fact that, although you could consider it somewhat fluffy, it doesn't ignore the downsides, either. Eating chocolate easter eggs and reading this has made for a good friday treat!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Hee! Chocolate and romance - perfect combination. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for reviewing!
Oh, I'm so moved. But especially by the line about Ireland. I do think when they return for visits, the change will be evident to all of wizardkind. :))
Thank you, Dicky.

Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you! I'm touched that you are moved by my story.
I'm so sad it's over but I'm glad it's with a happy ending.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you! Such a compliment, to be sad it's finished.
The Germans were smart in many areas, particularly language. They have lots of single terms that most other languages and cultures still use long phrases for.
This was a very pleasing ending. I love that it was a chunky sweater that made Severus go after Hermione. He can be confident that she cares for him for who he is rather than who he became.
And Ron & Neville are toooo funny! XD
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you!
A nice fluffy ending, just what was called for.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thanks!
I have truely ejoyed this story. I hope to read and will be looking for more of your work in the not so distant future.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you!
Nice story, it's a little bit... well, It's not as in character, as it could be, but nevertheless a thing well done. It's been very nice to read and very funny.
Is there really no direct translation for Schadenfreude? I've seen it used quite a few times in fanfictions, now that I think about it.
Well, as I said, nice story!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you!
Some of the best marriages start out as "we're just friends". I love the irony of Neville the lust-bait being gay.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thanks!
Lovely lovely story! I've enjoyed it from the beginning! :)
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)

Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
