They're really both saving each other, albeit in very different ways, which is the sort of balance I like.  I don't have any ideas for a sequel at the moment, other than the obvious idea that after seven years of a professional interaction they would have built a rapport that turns into something more.  There are a lot of unanwered questions, though, so it might happen one dday.

That's excellent news.  I'll quite happily wait until it happens or not.

Thank you.  There seem to be a lot of people who think this is worth continuing; I'll have to give it some thought. 

Do keep your plot bunnies.  I have plenty, just not for this story.  Yet.  :D 

I've always seen Hermione as a bit Slytherin; she knows how the game is played and how to get her own way.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you that. I'll have to have a word the muse. For the moment, she's focused on other projects.

Wow!  You picked what is, to me, the key line of the whole story.  It started with a conversation about the parts of Severus' life that we don't see in canon, and the speculation that, as a half-blood, he must have some familiarity with the Muggle world.  Given that, Severus is, without question, the single most qualified person to handle Hermione's problems.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you.  I've thought about continuing, but so far no little plot bunnies.

Have you tried leaving a bag of peeled baby carrots near your computer to attract the bunnies? Or perhaps if you worked on one of your other fics the bunnies would try to distract you? If all else fails, kidnap the bunnies of a more prolific, but less interesting, writer.

I've been trying option two, working on other fics.  Option one sounds interesting, but somewhat messy.  I may resort to it if nothing else works.  Option three, though, is a bit of a worry.  Wouldn't they be uninteresting bunnies?  If I'm going to go to all the effort to plot and carry out a kidnapping, I'd want to be sure of getting the highest possible quality bunnies.  Which would then deprive us all of the stories they were originally born to inspire.

Oh darn. I hadn't thought of the downsides to option 3. You could still kidnap the bunnies of the less interesting and "deprive" us of their stories and have yourself some nice, warm bunny slippers and some tasty rabbit stew.

Now you're thinking!  I'll just have to be sure my own plot bunnies don't get wind of it.  Wouldn't want them running away for fear of being eaten.

Perhaps if you explained to your bunnies that this is what happens to ALL plot bunnies who are no longer useful, they would he more helpful.

Thank you.  I'm glad you enjoyed it.

There are lots of possibilities, but for the moment no little plot bunnies.  If any come along, I'll keep it going.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. 

Thank you.
