The first story with a Snape with a big belly :)) I had fun reading it. Thank you.

I love this story. Every time I read it. :)

thanks for sharing a very sweet and funny tale. 

I don't know if I ever reviewed this, but I was re-reading it today on my lunch hour, and just wanted to say thanks for brightening my day.  This is simply charming.

I love this story, I hope to read more of your writing very soon.

Thank you for this witty, hilarious, and all in all delightful story. I cannot believe I had entirely missed this gem of humour and lightheartedness.
The association between billowing robes and multitude of puddings will stay with me for a while :D

P.S.: I'll let you know that I've just had to give my face a massage to stop the grin I'd been sporting for too long :)

yay rog you've done it again...another delightful and sneaky story.  thanks so much!

Oh, adorable! I love what they call a man 'with a little meat on his bones!' They're soft and hard at the same time, like a teddy bear. They can protect you and feel good cuddling you. As long as he's got wide shoulders to go with the weight - to balance out his frame, mmmm....heavenly!

Just read this for the SSHG Food Pr0n quiz.  Loved it! 

Swoon!Mangy Siamese=perfect epithet! Whee!Men SHOULD be rather like pillows - what am I to snuggle up to otherwise??

"Those robes really did hide a multitude of sins. Or rather, a multitude of puddings."You made me laugh out loud -- I'm still laughing. This was real "feel good" story. I like pudding and happy endings!Beth

I love this. *happy smile on my face*.

Truly one perfect Valentine!  I particularly love the recitation of the differing scents of the professors.  Your writing is delicious...and now I must go get something chocolate (since I have no Love Handled Potions Master at hand).  Thanks for the tasty treat!

Aw how sweet. That's calmed me down after my run in with johnny-no-stars at maccy's!

What a sweet little story. I really enjoyed it!

Saving in favorites for Valentine's day.  Wonderful story!

Oh, he enjoys eating and enjoyed having similar meals with her. What a shame, really, that she felt she needed to have a perfect body to be attractive. Or, I could give her the benefit of the doubt and think that Hermione just felt uncomfortable heavier and didn't want the expense of a new larger-sized wardrobe. I do think that enjoying the varied flavors of food can be one of the many joys in life. I am glad Hermione accepted Severus just the way he is.

"She had never seen Severus pass the butter to anyone ever before."  This made me laugh.  It so prefectly described Severus Snape, in my opinion. Well done!

I think my favorite part in this story is "If love wasn't in the air, then she was a mangy Siamese. She had never seen Severus pass the butter to anyone ever before. It was a bit churlish of Miss Granger to turn it down, but then she probably didn't read passion into dairy produce. It was different for cats."   Although 'As far as the rest of the staff were concerned, arguing over the correct interpretation of an ancient Sumerian potions text while eating from the same dessert bowl until their spoons clashed, pretty much counted as full-on hanky-panky,' is really excellent too.

Awww...cute story. Great job.

Now...I need to find myself some billowing robes and perhaps a chocolate truffle (or two).

Very nice read..love all the food part ie..on food restriction myself...really loved all the food parts I swear I think I tasted the cocoa dust myself! Thanks for the wonderful treat!

Well written!  It was sweet and funny.  Insecure!Snape is always fun to read, especially when Hermione can help him get past his insecurity.

Remus smelled like dog biscuits... oh yuck!

Nothing like a shared dessert passion, bet they would do chocolate body paint justice!

*purrrrrrrrrrr...  absconds with the chocolate cake slices while they're busy snogging, mwehehehemeow...  purrrrrrrrrr*~Lotm

Oh, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside after reading this!  Being perilously close to 40 myself, I know all too well about the expanding effects of aging and good food.  Despite everything, my husband and I still think we're each as wonderful as when we still had those younger nicer bodies...  And I loved the line about cats and dairy products!  We've got three, and you simply can't leave butter unattended around them.
