The Dance... is the name of the song "Stairway to Heaven"?Heavenly chapter. Well worth the wait.

oh yessssss.  moving and stiring.  thanks so much and i look forward to the next chapter.

I've just read everything posted to date, and I'm entirely enamoured. I only hope Snape doesn't recoil from this encounter.Thanks so much for translating and sharing this!

I love that it was not only passionate but awkward, totally appropriate for a first time together. 

YAY!!! Finally!! FINALLY!! Now to see what the reactions of both are to this new situation they are in, and the reactions of everyone else! I really do love this story, and cannot wait for the next chapter!

Wow!  They just jumped right in.  Hope it's not 'too much, too soon.'Great chapter-- the emotional intesity was just fantastic.

Another brilliant chapter.  The love scene here was so sweet and tentative and so incredibly hot, all at once.  Hermione's unexpected access to Severus' thoughts made this really special.

A person capable of such passionate hate must be able to love just as passionately.I like it.

WOW WOW About time they got it on haahaI'm really looking forward to the next chapter to see how things move on! x.x

Oh my goodness, that was one of the most lovely, intimate love scenes I have ever read. Their passion was interspersed with lines that so completely captured their characters! "A person capable of such passionate hate must be able to love just as passionately..." *sigh* One of the best lines I have ever read about Severus. Again, this story is absolutely amazing. Thank you, Marisol and Muggline!

*Removes hat to throw it in the air* Yipppeee! They're finally together!! And what a way to go....is it a bit warm in here? I love the accidental occlumency in the middle of things, I've actually wondered about that, myself. Nice balance of the tentative and passionate. (BTW: I just happened to be listening to Etta James 'At Last', while reading this. It fits really well with this scene. LOL)Oh, but, what will happen next?? How will he handle the 'morning after'? Nail biter...

Wow!

I don't know if I should curse you or hug you. Let me explain: I always check my mail on morning before going to work. And guess what I discovered this morning? It was awful: that SO awaiting chapter and I had to wait until lunch to read it. Grrr. But I must say I'm proud of myself cause I didn't bark on anyone from frustration.To say this chapter is exceptionnal is an understatement. I can only hope now that again he won't back away when he regain his senses. This man and his insecurities...

What a chapter...the "dirty dancing done".  Outstanding, now let's see if the relationship can stand on it's own merit.

"Everybody, Dance Now!"  Wow!  That was wonderful.  I loved the way Severus allowed Hermione into his thoughts... to witness the things he felt but could not put into words.Their love making was a beautiful coming together of two disparate souls who longed for each other, but were unsure of what the other was feeling.  Now there is no doubt.Well done!Beth

Good word that was poetically written.  And translated!  O_O

Fantastic chapter, hot, steamy and LOVING IT! Hope to read more soon and thanks for sahring!

All right! Let's dance! Very great chapter. I wonder if Snape was a virgin?Livvy

Realy wonderful chapter . I got to have more of this honney.

and a delightful dance it was. very well depicted. :D

 This is great. I love the way you descibed their first time, it made much more realistic that it was not perfectly choreographed.

Oh, my, such a lovely- no, thats the wrong word, such a delicious chapter! Positively wonderful!

So romantic. I liked how she saw into his mind which reflected back all that we thought he was thinking. Nice way to show his point of view.

Wow.  Artfully written.  Loved the brain leak. 

Wow! That was spectacular.
