He's peripheral, and ran into a bit of a curse. Do read the reviews, most of the chapters have the bonus or two. If you can't find them, you can see them on my LJ

Thankyou for the reivew. Nope, he's not ready to take advise from a former student, even if she's right. I chose to make Ron have a bit more of a brain than I ususaly type him, but he has his moments too. (Hint: start checking the reviews.  This story has hidden bonuses in the reviews. Don't want you to miss them!)

Oh and I forgot!!~ * ~Severus finished his rounds, delivering his potions. Jenson in the Apothecary in Diagon Alley had requested a large order of complicated potions and paid handsomely for the potions Severus delivered. He inquired after Hermione, smiling when he told Severus that her work was top quality, complimenting him on her training. Even Plitheroa at the Cartwright Apothecary on The Promenade had relented that Hermione’s potions were of an acceptable quality, requesting more of Hermione’s Alexindora Potion and Deliquesce Embrocation and paying the exuberant rate for which he charged her for them. Severus put the Galleons Hermione had earned with her potions in a separate pocket to give to her.  He walked down The Promenade slowly with a contented smile on his face. He entered Rourke McCloud’s Bijouterie, thinking he might just get Hermione a small token. The tall, thin wizard looked up from his workbench when Severus entered the shop. “Let me know if you’d like to see anything.” Severus nodded as he walked along the displays and glass counters. Nothing struck him as being something she’d like or that suited her personality, until an object caught his eye. His palms started to sweat, his heart seemed to beat erratically, and there was a huge lump in his throat.  The shopkeeper appeared before him as if summoned. “Did ya find something then?” he asked. “I’d like to see that one,” Severus said, pointing. The shopkeeper handed it to Severus with a smile. “You’ve fine taste, sir.” It was perfect: simple, elegant… expensive.

Two bonuses in two replies for the same chapter!!!  Wheeeee....I check for the bonuses every time I post a reply and then again a few days later just to make sure I don't miss one.Now, just what can this "simple, elegant... expensive" and small token be?  A ring perhaps?  I love this story!

I know I keep getting these words and I"m like, OMG and I have to use that?  Then read the dictionary for the meaning and play with the word a few tries until something clicks. But I'm telling you - this is fun!I think he's just considering the source, and contemplating what she meant by the suggestion. In the end - he did trust her.Thank you for the review.

Thank you. If you were ever interested in giving a go at it, email me and I'll give you some starting tips. It's not really that hard. It actually really fun. But I do really appreciate the compliment, and I'm flattered that you  like the story.
