oh, how lovely - and I am more than excited at the fast updates :)

I think you have a good grasp of pacing for this tale.  not too fast: they are not suddenly best pals.  Thank you for sharing this .

this is really a wonderful story and I am glad to see a couple more chapters before me for a nice bedtime snack!  Thank you,  that was very touching.

I'm loving this.  Please keep the chapters coming!

This is such a beautiful story so far!I really really love it!I just read all the current chapters in one sitting, it was so interesting!I remember that song..."Dona Nobis Pacem" Lol - the good of school choir days.Anyway, great job and I look forward to more!xo.~ Angela

This is a delightful, heart-warming story, and so perfect for the season. I adore your characterisations of Snape and 'Mynie', and their slowly evolving friendship is beautifully painted. I normally loathe when Hermione's name is shortened to 'Mione' by authors, but Mynie I shall gladly forgive as I am so pleased by this tale. Thank you.

Thank you for another wonderful chapter. Very enjoyable. Little sisters can be so much fun...

that was so touching and left me with a lump in my throat.  wonderful!  thanks so much and i look soooo forward to the next chapter.                                              (me blowing kisses)

Awww, its so cute. Not fluffy, though. Serious, but so...soft. Somehow.

This is really nice treat for the holidays. 

Ouch, I do believe that Hermione will have some explaining to do.  I think it may help her mother's sanity to know they were both fully dressed.I have to say I laughed at the situation.  I always did have a sick sense of humor.

Looks bad, looks really bad! Can they explain it? On the good side, her parents do know what a bookworm she is.

I am loving the regular updates on this story and very much enjoying where you've taken it!

i was happy to see you updating this story again. took a little while for me to find the time to catch up, but i'm glad i did. what a great place to pick it up again - with the sh*t just hitting the fan! i look forward to seeing what happens next.

this is fun and soo in character. awesome!!!!

Too funny.  Huddling together for warmth?  You think the folks are going to buy that one?  Merciless teasing is in the offing, but who knows, where there is smoke, there is often fire.

you write snape so perfectly in character!  i love their bandinage (i can say words but not spell them!).  thanks so much for this great update and i look forward to the repercussions!

I am really enjoying this! I read from the start up to this point in one go and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Children have such active imaginations.... hehe Also glad to see this story continue :)

Oh, life's little embarrassing moments. Hopefully it will become one of the family's future funny remembrances. I'm very glad you took up this story again.

Heehee! Good luck explaining!

Okay - warming up are we? This will be so much fun to read...
