ohhh good start! I'm glad you are putting your work here!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you very much!
Oh no - they got as far as holding and Severus turned her away - I cannot wait to see what she does to get it through his head that it is he that she has always wanted.

Ch 11 is in the queue, and it's the final one! You won't have to wait long.
May I say how much I appreciate your reviews - so kind of you to take the trouble to review as you read.

Poor Hermione - she did what she set out to do and made him attractive to women and now jealousy is eatting her alive. Poor Severus if only he knew would jump at the chance of more with her
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Ah, but he doesn't, so he won't! He's altogether too noble. Silly sod.

Oh poor guys - they both feel for each other but think the other only wants friendship - I cannot wait to see what you set in their paths to make them realize that something more can be had.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
The path of true love... Poor things.

I loved the unholy alliance part - that was a good line. It is funny watching them grow closer - one could say that they are becoming friends by now and Severus and Hermione plotting - poor McGongall would gasp if she knew.

Well Severus is always sexy but a little improvement in teeth and hair makes the package ever more better. This gave him a chance to see Hermione in a different light too - as more than a child and someone interesting to talk to.

Yes - I think they needed to get out of the Hogwarts context for a while.

Well - He broke down and asked Hermione - and now they are going on a shopping trip. She likes him the way he is but he does not quite no that yet.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
He will. Eventually!

Ha Ha - I cannot see Severus checking himself out in the mirror looking at himself trying to figure out how he looked and ranked - good chapter - wonder who he sent the note to? HMMM
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Glad you found it funny!

Cute chapter - all the girls watching Neville digging. Severus - I cannot believe that he asked where he would be on the scale and then I cannot believe that Hermione said off the scale - I wonder if he realized what she meant.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thanks! I don't think he has sufficient self-confidence in that way to understand her - but isn't she wicked, to tease him so?! I liked writing that.

Interesting next chapter - I liked how you took Ron out of the equation and the "Hermione, your a girl, well it was just funny. I cannot wait to see how you take away Severus's boredom.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
I don't really go in for Ron-bashing in general, but had to do something with him, so this seemed obvious to me! I'm glad you liked it.

Good first chapter - I always never liked that JKR killed off Severus after the horrible life that he lived and a fresh start is what he deserves - great title.

Oh, I feel so sorry for him! But Hermione is Strong and Brave. As he is, but in a different way.
I'm glad you assembled all the portraits.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Yes, poor Severus. But Hermione is a Gryffindor and will find a way, I am sure!

Dead Fred and live George were priceless!

Thank you!
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)

I don't know what is it with Severus and his being noble and just push Hermione away to protect her. What an idiot. And I mean it. Can I hope that he will come to his senses soon?
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Yes - silly man. Final chapter in the queue....!

I hope Hermione realized why the wounds aren't showing at the Head table. After all, she is the reason why hecan't follow through.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
She's a clever girl.
Thanks for reviewing.

Well, I'm glad she has a plan, because otherwise I'd be really freaking bummed right now! Great update, as always - the Fred and George part was truly delightful.

Thank you! It's a great compliment to me that you've become so involved as to engage with my characters.

I am so enjoying this delightful tale. Vengeful Severus is in keeping with his character, and now he realizes that the vengeance game is meaninless. Hooray! Severus grows up.

I know it's terrible, but I love these sorts of misunderstandings between them. This story is a pleasure to read.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you very much!
I guess for Hermione it's a case of be careful what you wish for, she wanted to help him become popular after all.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Yes indeed. But it'll turn out for the best.
What a place to leave us! Lovely and complex as usual.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you!
I had recently decided to stop leaving reviews, but I wanted to let you know how much I am throughly enjoying this story. Please keep up the great work.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
I'm very flattered that you broke your rule for me. Thank you very much!
I really wonder who will be the bravest to tell the other of his/her feelings first.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
Thank you for being intrigued!
The poor things are having a hard time fighting their feelings.
Though I can't wait for Severus to find out about Ron.
Response from richardgloucester (Author of A Fresh Start)
The poor dears. Don't worry. I won't let them suffer for ever.
Brilliant, funny, and heart-warming. Thank you!
