We'll see. He is an old fart at this point - being his great-grandfather and all. I still have a way to go with their relationship (as if you can't tell) and a few more surprises. Yes, expect Hermione to stand up to Severus a bit more, although, she will have to learn how to handle him better...Thank you so much for the sweet compliments, I really appreciate them.

Thank you. Yep, they are still tugging on the rope, so to speak. at least they are still tugging. Thank you for the review.

Because it's what I do. Student/Headmaster relations will be 'discused' and arrangements made. Actually I have a few surprises lined up. Hermione gets a shocking lunch invitation. Severus takes Hermione home and gets more than one surprise. This si what I'm cooking up - and what will happen. You are most welcome for the update. I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you very much. I'm busy working on the next one!  So I hope to get it to my beta sometime in the week or so. Thank you for the review.

Oh. Oops... Can I get away with this for now? Maybe creative license or something, chalk it up to being a bit missinformed? Or maybe it's an old beaver pond - had been one centuries years ago? Dunno... But IF I have our couple in the pond again, I'll fix it...

Ooh yes, more ponds please!

Sorry, a huge bed - twice, a table and a bench-like cot, a stool, a rickety old bed.... That's as far as I've typed so far...

Gosh...

Thank you. I look forward to seeing what you think as I put this story out.

Severus wasn’t as upset because he was still under the influence of the spell’s magic. Unfortunately, expect a grudge f**king in the next chapter… sorry. But he’s going to react like a guy would.   On the second question, Ms. Maggie Whitmire is the one who stated to the Aurors that Severus cast the spell but her ledger only said that Severus Snape and Hermione Granger are Bonded. She presumed and assumed… like any old bitty might that loves gossip – you’ll see…  As so far as men casting the spell? Dunno – doesn’t seem like the kind of spell a guy would do – it’s rather girlish, don’t you think? There may be other spells – match-making spells that the guy (Ron maybe) could do.  So as far as what will happen – follow along and I’ll eventually let you know… Okay, back to typing.

You are quite welcome. No Maggie Whitmire’s letter is a modified form letter sent to anyone – or any couple – who has a Bonding. As for the Aurors – I have other plans for Severus and being killed on sight by an Auror isn’t on my list. However, I do plan on taking him on and having a bit of fun with him… the poor guy.  

bit of fun? ulp! I hope Severus thinks it's fun.... yikes!

I hope I got the characterization of Maggie Whitmire as the ‘ittle bitty who is the gossip queen of the Ministry down? If not I didn’t do a very good job of it. I’ll bring that out better later… She got her facts wrong! And obviously didn’t think Hermione would cast the spell to entrap Snape!

I’m glad you like the consummation, more consummation of the Bonding will occur… plenty of it. Hope you don’t mind?

AH, yes, poor Maggie Whitmire, doesn’t exactly have all the facts now does she – but she does seem to love gossip… Witches like her can cause all kinds of mischief can’t they?

And, well, Ron…. Dunno yet haven’t typed that part yet. Should I?

oh I see what you are saying now.  I so get it.  As for Ron,  I would love to see him gay with someone like Seamus.  lol  I think that would be funny.  And definitly would shock the rest of the Weasleys.  Especially his mother.  I can just see his mother crying "But then you can't give me grandchildren.  BooWho."  lol  But its your story and you don't have to give him anybody if you don't want to.  It's cool.  Either way  I still love the story.

Yes, Severus does know the repercussions and the extent of the spells consequences. But he’s a sly one… As for Hermione, time to face up little girl – you’ve got Severus and he’s a handful…

Is this the hurdle - or will the next one be the hurdle? He will summon her and he will want his due – won’t he? This time he was still under the effects of the spell – as the spell drove him to consummate and seal the magic. Next time – well, you’ll see.

Thank you. Expect things to get rocky and uncertain, some adjustments and…. Outside influences too!

I have good news, my beta already has the next chapter. So as soon as I get it back all circled and crossed out in red ink I can fix, revise, correct and edit – then post! So there is more to come. Just got to clean it up some frist.

Thank you. Did you really think I’d make things that easy for the pair? The spell drove him to consummate and seal the magic. He will summon her and he will want his due – won’t he? Expect things to get rocky and uncertain, some adjustments and…. Outside influences too!

The good news, my beta already has the next chapter. So there is more to come. Just got to clean it up some first.

Thank you for the nice review. I am trying to keep everyone in canon as much as possible and your compliment was nice to read.

With the girl’s reactions, they believe in the Moon-Song spell and thus their reactions are more like – ‘Well, if it matched her to him, then they are meant to be.’ This gets explained later – I promise. And all reactions will follow… Happy reading!

Well, thank you for typing in. I appreciate each and every review very much.

Yes, I have Ms. Maggie Whitmire as the ‘ittle-bitty gossip gal of the Ministry (or one of) and no she didn’t get her facts straight did she? She assumed! (ass-u-me-d)

Thank you for the review. Do keep in mind that this joining is still under the magic of the Moon-Song spell. Yes it’s for real, and yes, he’s not as mad, yet, as he could be… Yes, the Ministry, and Ron and – well, you’ll see.

Thank you very much. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you for reading and for the review.

I know, but at times my Hermione-muse isn't cooperating anymore than my Severus-muse was before. But I'm working with them! However, the incident in the Entrance Hall was innocent--they just went outside to talk, that's all, really. Tow of the boys are her homework partners. Blume putting his hand on her back- a polite gesture, nothing more. The same when she leaned on him as he helped her to the hospital wing, he was only helping her. But yes, Hermione behaves like a Muggle when it comes to boys, not a pure-blood elite. Thank you for reading and for the reviews. I hope you like what comes next. lol

I'm glad that you liked it. Oh, he's just biding his time. You'll see. Thank you for reading and for the review.

Thank you. I read somewhere that Fawkes stayed with DD because he carried such deep sadness and guilt over his sister's death. So I played on that. I"m certian that alone and when he let his guard down, DD did cry over the anguish he felt over the thought he killed his sister.   The seeds, coming up in a while, but the reason it alludes them will make you snicker.  He's a protector at heart. Thank you for reading and for the review. Fang got a nice steak from Mispy.
