I doubt Severus will fix this so easily. Her trunk isn't unpacked yet, so I am sure that she will just turn and leave before he can finish his party. That's absolutely what I would do.

Severus must think Hermione is an idiot. Though we don't know Shannon's story yet, Lily showed Severus that women are fickle, and it seems he believes this of Hermione as well. For a man getting laid so often, he needs to relax!

Hm... she's exactly right. She needs to learn that sex outside of marriage isn't necessarily about intimacy, but rather just about pleasure. That's a big difference to someone who has only had one partner.

Clever twisting of words with the "all talk" aspect.

Wowsers... not at all how I would have reacted, but I can see why she did react that way. Great start!

How did I know that Severus would be her neighbor? I love her reaction to him and his reaction to hers, etc. Very well done. :)

Nice start. I like how Hermione's anger was a bit time delayed, but still there. You have perfectly outlined why I think the two would never work as a couple.

Smart moves, Severus.

Oh, thank GOD! I am so glad Severus is being smart about this.

*sigh*  I love a happy ending!  This was a great story--Snape was so perfectly snarky, and I like that despite the prompt, Ron wasn't automatically turned into an evil git.  Great job!

She's damn well off to put him in his place!

O was worried about the adultery warning. I wouldnt give a damn if ron cheated on me, it's Severus that I'd kill for it!

He definitely knows how to make a girl question herself.

You wrapped it up beautifully.  Thank you for writing and sharing the story.

Such a fantastic ending! I loved how you showed the hard time the boys were having adjusting to each other. Not everything in a new family works out so magically. But I am glad Hugo came through.

Uh oh, Severus has gone on the defensive after her not having contacted him for a week...I love that Ron and Hermione have been able to get past the pain and anger and have come back to being friends.

Good going, Severus. I am so glad Hermione is prepared to at least listen to him, but I think he has a way to go before he gets back her trust.

Something tells me that Severus is going to be much more stubborn than Hermione. She doesnt stand a chance!

What a momentus thing for Severus to open up to Hermione. I hope she realises what his means!

Yay! I am so glad he has finally seen reason. He cant just expect Hermione to be happy about giving over her baby to a man she hardly knows.

Oh dear. She did leave it a little late to tell him of his impending father-hood. I just hope Severus cops on that she is just hurting from the way he was treating her and is not a vindictive shrew!

a beach scene.*sigh*and there will be many more for sure.you leave out no details, answer all the questions that could be raised, good to follow your story.this wicked snape. a shag every now and then. He should be boiling in oil. cheap girls. ha. hermione is everything but!well. waiting for the inquistition.

Oh that was cruel, leaving a massive cliff hanger like that!I was reading along, quite happily, then suddenly....the chapter finished. *cries*Other then that, very good chapter.Can't wait for the next one :)

Ohh!  Evil cliffy!I'm really looking forward to what she'll say, and I'm wondering, Mystery Author, what your views on "happy endings" are. 

"I love you both"the only answer to that was "I want a husband that loves ONLY me!"You described a nice little desaster. What an intro. What is going to follow here.All options open. that sounds promising. And NO, Hermione, your life is NOT over. just the life you knew. your life starts. One does need a break every 10 or so years. that keeps the chance open to test all the own abilities, and find out more about oneself. Am eager to see what she will find out.She is so talented. She has nothing to fear.and the plan with the trip, holiday or whatsoever sounds like a good start into a new life.
