Well, that went much better than I'd imagined.  I'm glad that Hermione stood up for herself and the invitation her family have extended to him. 

Now let's get on to platform nine and three-quarters!

I love your Dumbledore here.  He's just perfectly droll, as he was first and second-year.  It's so nice to see him happy and weird again!

Two of my most favorite things in the world are Anne of Green Gables and Cyrano, tho I can't read the french (I like the Brian Hooker translation).  You  showed how they grew towards each other while still keeping true to the characters.  Thank you so much and mega mucho smoochies.

Good chapter - Severus asks a personal critique question and Hermione answers -even he does not know why he is asking. Dr. Granger explanation on why she is happy to have him in her home over the holidays is very good. It is creating a safe place for the professor - he is not used to just being without being played or used. I would call this "Normal Time With A Normal Family" and this is what he needs to see. One cannot miss what one does not even know exists no can he?

Only Snape would consider that babbling.  Poor man.  But that was a sweet scene between them.

Oh what a charming chapter.  I loved Hermione's mother's attitude toward him.  I think this is why he was asleep on the window seat.  She gave him food for thought rather than the continuous litany of self loathing that he is probably accustomed to.  I wonder what he must see to.  Dare I hope a bit of Holiday shopping? Well done! Irish

LOL... a quote from Cyrano is most appropriate. I like that they had a quiet moment of familiarity between them. Very nice!

What a lovely New Years. Too bad it all ends and they have to hide the relationship once back at school.

DO finish this. It feels so good to write Fins at the bottom!
