As far as the Trio (and everyone else, actually) was concerned, he was the enemy when they saw him get bitten.  Fanfic loves to have Hermione grovel and feel soooooo guilty over it, but truly, would any of us have helped a mortal enemy?  Hell no.

A lovely and well-written story, thank you very much.

I am enjoying this story very much, your profile says you write in both English and French. Have you ever heard or U.Sainte Anne?

Lordy lordy all this UST!!! Get naked already!! /impatient Molly.

Silly me I got all distracted with the baby thestral. Wish they could have stayed there and talked more about it LOL

So not really 7 days since almost a year has past since the previous chapter. Sneaky author! How demorealizing to have a muscle incident just when he was going to pounce on her.

Everyone took her job announcement well. I was expecting more protests. Perhaps the Weasleys are more self focused during their mourning?

I dont like idea of her being a "helper" she has so many qualities that make her a good leader...Hermione is damn lucky her parents are still speaking to her after that.

No cuddling or naked time on day 4((pouts))

I forgot to comment in the first chapter I think its terribly clever of you to have spelled Poppy's wand to alert her when Severus is in mortal danger. Severus seems to be manipulating Hermione to him. Luring her if you will. Or have I been reading too much dark fic?

Minerva manuvered that little trip together quite smoothly I thought. Well done old girl!

Here I am reading for my "disabled Snape" quiz. I quite agree with SS. The trio should have at least checked for a pulse before they left him to bleed out. Id be pissed if I were him. I was impressed that he forgave his coworkers so quickly. Rather mature of him. Go figure. Will there by many sphincter incidents in the future? 

Stealing Hermione away from Ron shouldnt pose much of a problem! wheee!

I'm wondering what Minerva will say when she learns about Hermione's plans. Nice new chapter!

Author's Response: You'll know very soon. Thanks for reading.

Well, that was a slightly nasting way to go about getting the things you want. I felt so sorry for Sinan when he saw Hermione. At least the two are coming closer together.

Good chapter but if they do not tell McGongall soon - I think she is going to work herself into a right bad snit - LOL.

If they were married , why couldn't she be his deputy if she wanted the position?

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww thank you for a sweet chapter mcgonagle or however you spell it need to have atalk with hermione so hermione can set her straight and tell her she doesnt want her job she wants her OWN careerbut i love the tender moments between serveus and hermione io have been reading so darker fiction latley and this just made me smileyjank you 

Wow.  After a super long day at work...Coming home to this was simply wonderful.  :)Thank you. 

This story makes me happy...

Oh, lovely, lovely!  Thank you.  I look forward to future chapters.

Wonderful chapter, I bet Minerva will have bugbears when she finds out Hermione has no intention on staying at Hogwarts.

I vote for a public anoucement of their engagement on the anniversary of Voldemorts's defeat. Maybe not voluntary, like being caught by Rita Skeeter snogging behind a corner.

I wonder if Minerva is worrying over nothing or if this is some foreshadowing...

Minerva is very uptight! I think Severus and Hermione are going about things in a very adult and sophisticated fashion. They are discreet, but atteaction and true deep feelings of love cannot be denied without a backlash. I'm glad Severus came clean (in his own sneaky way) about his scheme. I was very concerned of his true intentions, but it is obvious that he truly loves her.Livvy
