You are too brilliant.  I love the way you ended it and the whole Authors Notes.  I look forward to your next story, hope its soon.

Hm, I think your Author's Note was longer than the epilogue. <Grins>. I enjoyed it.  I never understood how Ron and Hermione wound up together.  <Scratches head>.

I ROFL every time I read this chapter.  What a difficult way to start -- going to the wrong house!  That's hilarious!

It's great that he's able to give emotional guidance, as well as educational guidance.  That she isn't giving up, despite her difficulties.  Very nice, indeed!

If it wasn’t one Riddle, it was another.  There are several lines and phrases in this chapter that I really like, but this is the best.I love the friendship that Albus and Lily show to Severus.  That they're clearing up things there, so he has a chance of living here.

Once again very well done.  I am interested to see what comes next.  Severus and Hermione have now spent at least part of two years together.  I think she is growing on him.  Irish

heh-heh!  the wrong house - that's going to be a story oft-repeated in years to come.  I'm glad he went with her on those visits; I think their joint appearance made a good impression on their visitees, plus it was a great chance for them to spend time together.  looking forward to the next "year"!

You've got me feeling bad for Ron, and I know he isn't going to end up with Hermione. I like your Snape, by the way.

Intriguing idea, Hermione's program... and Snape's cooperation is interesting as well. Let's see where it will get them. The scene with Davy and his mother was really funny!

Author's Response: Bless her heart, Hermione's trying her best to change wizarding society, but it's a slow go.  She'll have more difficulties in the next year as well.  Thanks for reading.

they think werewolves are bad then what are the Daveys in this world?  lol  I would rather have a werewolf.  Or snarky Potion Master.  Either one.

I just loved the MoM mixup with the addresses, too true to life!

I am surprised you wrapped up to the exams so quickly.  It makes me wonder what is to come?  Good start. Irish

well done!It's kinda sad if Ron isn't left with the least bit of positive attributes, but this story is a comedy, so it fits just fine.

she's come to her senses? About time!

A great picnic indeed! Ron hasn't learned to understand Hermione, and why am I not surprised?However, Hermione hasn't learned much either, if already her second project fails so utterly. Is the Ministry moving her from one department to another only to do damage control in each of them? She isn't productive at all, but they cannot exactly fire a war hero. She'd do much better with some academic pursuit! Will Severus suggest it? As for life skills in total, I'm afraid, Hermione doesn't score better than Ron. But I'm more positive for her to realise it than for him. Severus has softened up, now that his conscience is clear. However, a kiss is probably not what he was prepared for. Let me see how he's handling it...

aaah, THAT's a very canon-like way of bringing him back!

Loved this line: The woman was wearing the smug look of someone who is pulling strings that I haven’t tripped over yet.

Severus seems much more relaxed himself. And I think this: As I suspected, Hermione Granger had little actual need of a tutor. I merely directed the learning. is an accurate portrayal of Hermione. She probably would progress further and faster without other students around to slow her down or Professors 'dumbing down' the curriculm to fit a broader range of people. If she had been taught that way all along though, she'd probably have little-to-no social skills...like when she entered Hogwarts and it took her two months and a troll attack to make her first friends.

Liking this so far! Now what happens to Severus after her NEWTs?

Looking forward to more!

Ah, war and it's aftermath.  Very good descriptions.  See you next chapter.

Well done, very well done! You write a very plausibly changed Snape, as well as a plausibly changed Hermione. With both of them, it feels and reads really natural, how the war has affected them, and how things are proceeding now... and the story is enfolding nicey. I'm eager to read on.

Author's Response: Thanks! I suspect that some people will think Snape is OOC, but my contention is that he has changed in some respects.  The sarcastic wit,however, will remain.

Wow what a chapter.  That was great.  Your a pro.

"The woman was wearing the smug look of someone who is pulling strings that I haven’t tripped over yet."absolutely brilliant phrasing!----I like this, and the more I read of it the more I liked it.  I look forward to more.    It's a new excuse to get our favourite couple together.  and whether they end up sweethearts or simply pals, I do love a sail on the good ship SS/HG

This is a fascinating premise, and I like it quite a bit so far.

Well, that was sweet.

I can't wait to read more!  I hope that something can be done for poor Mrs Granger eventually.
