Loved that they figured out that they loved eachother (but not that the other loved them back) on the same night, though for different reasons. And that they both decided to wait to confess until after they had 'confirmed it' made 'the potion' and had Their Bed (at least) ready for use, wanting to do it right.

This line: “Do not stop your stirring, though you may go back to mooning over me for another four minutes and thirty seconds.” He paused briefly, then gave her a shuttered look softened only by the hint of a blush in his sallow cheeks. “…I don’t mind it.” made me grin. As did this one: She loved him, but he was a man, and men were decidedly strange, perverse creatures at times. because it's usually what men are portrayed to think about women.

Loved what they did to Rita!!! Those two are a formidable, and very sneaky pair! Sorta disappointed that they couldn't leave her as a bug though...I mean, if someone else squished her, it wouldn't be their fault, right? And now if she relearns how to be an animagi, she'll be able to pass the test the same way Severus did...

Ron is a clueless as ever, not even noticing that he ignored, and was pretty much ignored by, Hermione for the entire evening. Lavender's gotta be a saint to put up with all that!

Love that Severus wants to wait until they're married, and all the comments about her being the one wanting to take advantage of him! Really glad that they are being accepted by the people that actually matter. *runs off to see what you did to them in the next chapt*

In the steamy heat of the bathroom, when he glanced up, she looked like a frizzy-curled angel perched on the precipice of falling. Hopefully she will only fall far enough to join me, Severus found himself thinking, and perhaps lift me up to a better life than I’ve known, before. --> And Severus says he's not a romantic... Silly man! Even if it's just in his thoughts, it's so... Wow! Me wants a Severus of my own! Got an extra one lying around somewhere?

Loved how both Severus and Hermione had... thoughts... about "interesting tale(s)" they could have if they proceeded just a little bit further: him about the tub, and her (a few minutes later) --> She didn’t want to cover up the view, but knew they had to move things into the bedroom, lest she end up deflowered on the bathroom floor. It might make an interesting tale to embarrass their grandchildren with, but she didn’t want to disrupt Severus’ plans for a ‘proper place and time’.

Glad they (mostly Hermione in the beginning) are still thinking about the practicalities, as in setting up for their source of income before Their Bedroom, and wanting to be on 'the potion' before 'going all the way'. Her practical side, as well as Severus' research-oriented mind (even when it came to eaves-dropping on his fellow professors' and Death Eaters' talks) are very in character.

Also really liked that he was the first to realize he was in love.

This is great.

I love how, after Ron sicked them on Severus and Hermione, the twins ended up not only staying for dinner (and enjoying themselves) but discussing the possibility of going into business together; and Tonks gave Hermione an idea on how to finally convince Ron that they weren't 'meant to be'. Sorta backfired on the Freckled Idiot, didn't it?

Love how Severus' attitude rubbed off on Hermione, at least in how she treated the nosey neighbors. People like that are why hermits exist!

(Still wearing the silly grin from last chapter...)

Hermione agreed, dragging her brain back out of the gutter. It was a very nice gutter, not nearly as unpleasant a place to be as one might think, but she did have work to do. --> Great line!

Loved this!

Completely agreed with everything Hermione said, and did, about Ron ... although I'd probably take pity on the people in Diagon Alley, and not even threaten them with the idea of sending him there. *shudders*

The 'Severus Gutter' is a much nicer place to be! *bounces off to read next chapt, wearing a really stupid-looking grin*

*sigh*

Still love it as much now as I did a few weeks ago when I read the last chapter on the Mobsite. Stories just feel better when you can read them completely through. I tend to forget funny lines and such if there is a long pause between updates.

Another great story from the Lady! 

Dear god, how did I miss you posting this?

I read it over at the Mobsite and loved it! I'm so glad you've posted it here.

*gets back to reading*

I can't thank you enough for this story.  This to me is what fanfic is all about.  A completed great read that I could read in one night and it was well written and entertaining.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.You combined my two fav things; cats and Severus.  I totaly believe that if he were an animagus he would be a cat and not a snake like others have written.  Why?  Well, cats sit silently and regally and observe what is going on around them.  They know what they are capable of and look down their nose at everyone.  If cats could speak you know they would be snarky and sarcastic.  But sometimes they are sweet and like to be cuddled just like I imagine a certian potions professor would.Thank you again for this though out, funny and romantic fic.  I'm off to see what else you have written.

A great ending to a very good story.

Absolutely fabulous!  I so love the personality that you have infused into this fic! Bravo! Irish

Cool. That was a great fic. The last couple of chapters seemed a bit rushed, but fabulous none-the-less. Good one. Many thanks.

Very nice!  Not many can pull off some 102,000 words of foreplay (ok, a little less than that given the beginning 'set up' chapters, but still...).  And ccongratulations on managing it without thoroughly... frustrating... your readers.

Hi.  I'm not sure you care, but pH is small p capital H, not capital P small h.

I am glad they are still so happy together. Stupid Ron! He just had to interfere all the time. Hopefully he learned his lesson and will leave them alone now that they are married.I am glad that Hermione's five-year plan came to fruition, even if it isn't yet five years. They do make such a lovely couple.Anyway, this was an excellent story. Thank you for writing!

“I prefer ‘presenting an undeniable incentive to practice greater circumspection on the part of the indiscreet.’”

Oh, that my dear Lady, if verbage of intelecual orgasim quality.  A truely wonderful turn of phrase. 

I love the conversation - the open give and take.

Wonderful.  It had to be Snape, the minute I heard of black fur and black eyes.  Love this.  You are always amazing.

My goodness, such a large story and posted so quickly too! It was a delightful read, I have to say, best Animagus story I've read in a long time!

great fic.. enjoyed it like all your other works...

really hope there is something being written as i type and soon 'll be posted)

oh and can't help but notice a "typo"? Snape calls Potter a pureblood and mentions him having both magical parents..  isn't he a half-blood with Lily being a muggle-born// or is there supposed to be "ron weasley" instrad of HP? 

clever of Hermione to use the spell that allowed Severus to pass the test at the Ministry.  Good ploting on your part!  and I am glad he showed the parents that he was/is Puss In Boots. 

W00t.  Severus has finally had his formal 'meet the parents' thing.  Liking him revealing his alter-ego "Puss".  *neeow* (that's what out cat likes to say)

Still like some more cat-interaction between them!  They're sweet and irresistably cute as 'teh kittehs'!! 

some muggle-deflection charms should be put on the place.  It's like it's a train station, almost--anybody with a mind to it can just barge in.

They better get to warding the house!  *ugh* never liked the weasel.  good riddance!!

Must... keep... reading... but... need... sleep...

This one is definately getting added to favourites. Thank god I've got the day off tomorrow!

ah yes.  Time for Severus to literally move past his 'greasy git' rep.  Whoa. *crosseyed* If this is just the prelim, I can't wait for the real show!!
