I think that would depend on who you talk to down there. The fact is now they know he’s alive. Maggie Whitmire now is the center of attention (her 5 minutes of fame – twice now) so she’s happy. The Aurors Lerman and Darthmyre are now getting closer to grasping another Death Eater (Snape) so their work load just went up and yes, there are other’s in the MoM who are interested in the knowledge… you’ll find out later.

I know that the prompt said that the MoM was happy about the news… I chose not to take that little bit of the prompt too literally. All will come clearer as we go along… I promise.

I’m not too sure who Elgar is – but okay. Does he live near the old beaver pond?

I am glad that you like my style and my choice to be vivid in my descriptions. I’m having a good time typing this and my boyfriend is constantly reading over my shoulder as I do… so I have male input here!

Things will roll along like a rollercoaster, ups downs and a few turns… ready? My beta already has the next chapter!

Alas no, Elgar's been dead for quite a while! Sir Edward Elgar, the composer - I was listening to a new recording of his Enigma Variations when I came across the new chapter. :)

I'm definitely ready for any new plot twists!

Yep, you pretty much got it, with the exception of Ron. This story takes place right after the Battle of Hogwarts, so Ron and Hermione were just starting a relationship, and were starting to let everyone know that they had become a couple. Then the girls do this Moon-Song spell/curse, depending on who’s talking about it, and messes everything up. So, Ron feels dumped. You’ll see what happens from here…

Thank you. I wasn’t sure how well it would be received, the ‘real sex’ being real, not all perfect and glorious. First times can/do hurt. However, Severus is still under the spell’s influence, so things will be more ‘real.’ Their next coupling, he will be reacting and performing without the spell’s influence… I hope people don’t get mad… It’s grudge sex, then morning after entrapment sex, the third time is ‘you are mine so deal with it’ sex followed by ‘oh shite –fine’ sex… Anyway there will be a realism in his ‘performance’ and ‘using’ of his Bonded mate. But he will come around, in a few chapters...

Yes, the MoM now knows he’s alive. Little Maggie Whitmire knows that: 1. Snape is alive 2. He’s Bonded to Hermione 3. Date and time it occurred 4. The Aurors will want Snape – he’s a death eater, killed DD, etc. She doesn’t know how the Bonding happened, only that it did. She is a right little gossip, Ms Whitmire, who doesn’t always have her facts straight. Watch out for her….

You've a few more dreams to go, dear. 

You've a few more dreams to go, dear. 

Thank you - fixed it. I'm glad you still liked my chapter even though that one got by me...

Luna explained it – the spell will pull him to her.   He will be ‘drawn to her’… well, you’ll see. I just have to clean up my mess and bit and fix all my boo-boos.  

Wow, thank you. Yeah, I didn’t see Harry taking this all that well  and it was a fun bit to add in also because it gives Hermione one more thing to worry about. Hehehehehe Her attempt with Ron was something that had to be added so that she would realize that that relationship wasn’t going to happen,  especially having been ‘with’ Severus. Ron just can’t/wouldn’t compare and pales in comparison. So I had to throw that in. Glad it worked for you.

Obviously the idea (and ideas) that this prompt really tickled my plot bunny. I actually had two probable stories and decided to mesh them together – then went typing… I’m very flattered by the responses I’ve gotten, like yours. Your kind words are quite inspirational for me – thank you.  However, and please bear me some patience – I intended this smut to have a plot, a story and some ‘realizations’ to it.  The Ron/Hermione factor being only one, the ‘You trapped me into this’ factor being the second, and the dream-vs-reality will be a bit of a flip of the coin.  I don’t say this to put you or anyone off – but they do come together in the next chapter, the spell will be consummated, and just as Harry reacted in ‘Harry fashion’ so will Severus.  There are three chapters I’ve written (and I have to credit my boyfriend for leaning over my shoulder saying “No, I’d react like this….” and I took that to heart,) where Severus reacts,  the Ministry becomes ‘involved,’ there is betrayal, hurt and comfort (on a small scale – no big physical wound or blood) and a friend from a very unexpected source, (someone you’d never consider/believe would side with Hermione against Severus.) But I’m not giving specifics – only that which has been set up in the story so far.  My beta has my next chapter… and as soon as we do my clean up, (I do tend to be messy) and I correct my mistakes – I’ll post! (But you know that there are at least three more to go and I’m not done there yet either…  I hope I don’t disappoint, and that my ‘’twist’ dips, turns, climbs and stands up your thought full kind review.

You are quite welcome. You won’t have to wait too long… It will happen in the next chapter.

Thank you very much and I’m glad you didn’t get any problem from your parents. I’m very glad you are enjoying my little smut project…

The Moon-Song Spell as I have developed it is a Spell. It was written ages ago during the era of courtly love to find your ‘true and perfect match.’ It is a Bonding Spell, as if you haven’t figured that out yet. Some wizards consider the spell to be Dark Magic – like Severus – because neither the caster or the targeted have any control over the spell and it’s outcome. (So in a sense, you’ve already gotten a glimpse of how Severus will and does feel about this spell.) Nevertheless, among purebloods and those raised in the wizarding world such spells are known and accepted. Thus Ginny’s and Luna’s acceptance of the outcome, and later you’ll see a few other purebloods’ reactions, that clearly indicate they know and generally accept the ‘outcome’ of such spells. Harry and Hermione were not raised but introduced to the wizarding world, and are not accustomed or informed about such spells. Hogwarts doesn’t teach Love Spells. The poem what little boys are made of inspired the spell and the potion.

I know that this is a bit long for an answer… but I thought I’d share what’s implied with you.

Have a great Christmas and Happy Holidays, and a safe and prosperous New Year.

Thank you... I can't wait to tell you... Give me a fe days to fix a few quirks.

Thank you. I thought it was a fairly good way to unite the couple! And you’re way too perceptive… you'll see. He hehe he  I appreciate the support.

I don’t mean to be mean, and I’m only hiding until after the judging! Really!!  I’ll peek out later and say hello! Thank you for the Grinch comparison… that is really cute. I’ll try and get my next out to you as soon as I find that last comma I misplaced…  I promise.

Well thank you very much! Sexy, angsty, and frisky was what I was hoping for! I got one out of three!   Well, even the bright stagiest can fail to see the  one thing right in front of them – can’t they! But if Hermione was hoping to get Ron to kiss like Severus – she was fooling herself! As if! Ron was slobber-suck face with Lavender and she loved it, so there’s no way he’s going to take clues – or suggestions – even one’s being ‘taught’ to him by our girl.  As for Severus, these dreams pulled him out of a coma and admittedly I’m not giving him the hiding option. Hermione’s spell not only helped him woke him from a coma, helped him recover, but has announced to the Ministry he’s alive…  I’ve several chapters on my computer and this is going to be developed – thoroughly! AS for how he’s going to go and get Hermione – well the magic of the spell will help… You’ll see.

Thanks for the reminder about the Ministry now knowing about Severus being among the living.  I had completely forgotten about that.  Well I can see that there will be even more fun ahead than I last thought. Yum!  I can't wait.

Thank you.   I'm sure gonna try!

Wow, thank you. Yes, well in regards to Ron – Hermione will have to come to terms with the spell’s results, but for now, I was giving closure on her relationship with Ron.  He doesn’t fit with her anyway, right?

If you like Lucius, well, he’ll be back…  and he may surprise you a little.

I actually have to thank my beta for suggesting I add in Harry’s response to the Ministry’s owls. I have to agree, it foreshadows what may come.  And yes, there is a ‘big mess’ in the horizon, sorry to say. In my next chapter, it’s for real, not a dream.

If I can, yeah, I’ll try and post by New Years. I’ll post again as soon as my terrific beta tells me she’s cleaned up all my mess, checked all my commas an hunted down my typos…  But it’s written. I have it right here on my computer – just gotta do the clean up… okay?

Actually the spell is climaxing, reaching it’s ‘due time’ the new moon. As Luna said – “He’ll come to her by the next new moon.”  The draw, the enchantment, and seducement of the spell is increasing… but yes, in the next chapter he will seek her out. And yes, he will literally ‘take her’ and make her his.  Yes, there will be some talking… but go ahead and hang out with me in the gutter… It’s fun to have the company.

Well, thank you very much. I aimed for hot, with a sexy Severus and a klutzy, awkward Ron… and yes, the next chapter,  Severus goes to get his intended.

Thank you, and I can’t wait to show it to you! it’s right here,  and as soon as my beta goes over my mess, cleans up my mistakes and goofs I’m posting it!

As for voting. I think that the vote will be on Potter_Place or the announcement and site to vote will be posted there. However, yes, it will only be on the Potter_Place boards, I believe.

Yep – tomorrow! Yep – it will finally happen and Severus will make her his. Yep – she’s at the Burrow and he’ll come to her… and Hermione is staying in Ginny’s room… but I don’t wanna give too much away!

Yes, well... Severus will handle things his way... Ron, nice guy, but no - he's no Severus Snape is he?

Your welcome. Up so far Severus has been up for the challenge - although these are dreams after all.Yep, no finess. Ron is more than clueless...
