Thank you. Yes, well I could just see Ron and Harry having that exchange and chose to share it!Yep, he's attracted to his apprentice. Just isn't ready to face it. Thank you for the reveiw.

Yes and yep!

Yes. Ron is being - well, Ron.

Thank you very much.

Yes they are - but they are fun! Yes, Severus is really thinking about this - and can't see the grass through the trees! and Ron, he is just missing it, too. Thank you for the reveiw.

Thank you very much.

Sinbad, I'm so glad I could cheer you up! Don't stay blue. Enjoy some good fluff. Back to typing now....

Sorry, it's not why he wanted it, just that he did that I gave you. However, if your muse wants to play with the idea... I welcome you to give it a go!

One of them at least.

Or it could be because of a stray curse, a vanity thing - who knows with Lucius?Nope, Sev is still in denial that he even likes her, let alone deesires her, so finding out she is doing this cuz' shelikes him... will be fun to see happen. 

Oh, I'm sorry! I will try harder to make them more exciting! Maybe this will help?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~May 24~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Severus watched her as she finished for the night and left to go read in his sitting room. The potion Lucius wanted could take him three days to brew, and most of the questionable ingredients were combined in the first two days, leaving only the innocuous ingredients for the following two days when she would be in the lab with him. Still, he knew that it would be best if Lucius returned on a Saturday to acquire his purchase. The Ramora scales, or silver fish if one is being discreet, and the aqueous humor of the Erumpent horn had been quite expensive, but still I will make a healthy profit on the potion. Besides, now that Plitheroa had met Ms. Granger, she will be able to go to the shop instead of me, he thought as he walked to his sitting room. Plitheroa knew better than to sell me less desirable quality ingredients, what with the secret I share with her. That, and she didn’t grope me with Ms. Granger in attendance. Having a female apprentice is turning out to be a good thing… Severus was stunned as he opened the door to the sitting room. Ms. Granger was standing before the fire, scanning a book, wearing her nightshirt with one of her silky dressing robes, untied, hanging open, and exposing her long, lithe legs. In fact, there was very little of her body not exposed as the light of the fire, which made her attire all but transparent. Severus quickly backed out of the room, closing the door softly and swore. His body had reacted strongly the moment he’d seen her, and his heart was still racing in his chest. Mother of Merlin, that girl! Why in all Hades can she not understand that I am merely a man with urges, however primeval, and she simply cannot parade herself around a man’s house dressed like a whore in a bordello! And that attire is only suitable for a boudoir. The thought of having Ms. Granger in his bedroom hit him, and he had to literally shake his head to clear the image of Hermione lounging in her nightshirt on his bed. That’s it – I’m going to take a cold shower and then bring the insipid girl one of my dressing robes to wear, he thought as he stormed upstairs to his father’s room.

That definitely helped! I really missed their little interactions.. well, I really missed Hermione torturing him, in other words! Thank you!

I suppose that the potion could be for that - or use your inagination!  It could possibly be for other places as well?  Who knows where he'd plan on using it - if he didn't want anyone to know he was getting it?  Thank you for the compliment on my use of the 'uptown' shopping street. TeehheheWEll - you are first, so here is the bonus! (One of!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~May 23~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yay! I got the bonus!You know, listening to Luna talk made me think of the SAT cheer from Bring It On. Have you heard it? Google it...

Yes, I remember! Thank you. (second half of bouns is in the second review! don't miss!

Gab,  Thank you. I will as long as SW gives me vocab words to use.

Thank you.

Thank you. I tried.

Thank you.

Yes, he certainly was a but washpish

Thank you.

Thank you. This is actually really fun for me. I'm glad you started this.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for the review. Yep, poor Ron, the brunt of Severus' sharp tongue! I didn't know that bellwether meant sheep! That is so perfect! Thank you for telling me!

There's a great book by Connie Willis called "Bellwether," and it talks about sheep extensively in there. It's a romantic comedy, and I think you would really enjoy it, but that's me -- I adore Connie Willis' writing (sci fi and fantasy). I also recommend her two short-story anthologies to you: "Fire Watch" and "Impossible Things." Her short stories range from the hilarious to the devastating. She's a wonderful writer that really finds her own twist on things. I've gone through several copies of each of her books, I'm so hard on them (reading them several times and then some).

Thank you. I hope you dont mind Severus being a bit snarky for a bit - I love snarkey Snape! April 5 - will be up sometime soon...

Yes, I think so too! Thank you for the reveiw. working on the following Friday April 5 now....
