Love it so far!Mentions of Chopin earn you squees. Oh yes.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Thank you! I was confused for half a second--I thought you meant the composer Chopin and I couldn't for the life of me remember mentioning classical music. Then I went "Oh, right... author. Duh."

HAHA! A drunk Hermione is going to tell off Severus? Good show!
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show... next chapter. Thank you!

Never trust a man in a fedora. I hope Snape gets to see her fancy black lace nickers after all. Wouldnt want all that erotica reading to go to waste. 
Erotinomicon-That is one way to kick off that at least would be fun!
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
I generally associate fedoras with Justin Timberlake. Therefore, they are sign of horribleness. And knicker-seeing will happen... eventually. Muahaha. Thanks, love!
Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)
fedoras = Justin TimberlakeThat is exactly what I thought when I read that. Ewwwww!

Hermione's tipsy statement to Severus...“This,” she said, giving him a fierce, albeit not quite focused, glare, “is all your responsibili-lil-ity, Severush Snape.” ...had me laughing out loud! 
Wonderful chapter!Beth

Thank you! I like knowing my attempts at humorous writing make people laugh.

Er... I do hope that's a comment on Hermione being drunk and not on the chapter in general ;). I'll take it as the former. Thank you!

Yes, totally!

I secretly hope he'll come back too. I think it's a very promising beginning.

Did you have this on here before? I know I've read it, and I know I've read it on Ashwinder, but I thought I'd read it on here too. Anyway, I like what you've gotten up!

Nope, this is my first time posting anything on TPP. Thank you!

This is a very promising start - I am looking forward to some nice fierce battles...
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Thank you! There will be battles, worry not.

Good for her! I hope she hexes him good. And what about Harry? Did he unknowlingly hand over his balls to Ginny one day? What a bitch! Well, mother like daughter I suppose.Good start!
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
I was thinking that Ginny said "come with me or else no sex." Thank you!

I've been following this fic at FFnet but I'm really glad you decided to post it here - easier review/response format (or at least you can actually see when an author responds and find your own reviews much easier).This has been a delightful story so far (I think I'm at chapter 7??) and I look forward to continuing it and checking out any other works.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Thanks! I agree about the review response format - I don't generally respond to reviews on ff.net because its such a bother. Chapter eight will be up soon on ff.net and ashwinder.

I like how this is starting... the setting is neatly laid out. More please!
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Thank you! More coming soon!

You know, I like the premise, but I really don't know if I like the Weasleys turning on Hermione for her relationship with Ron failing. I guess they would take his side (well, except the twins) but still. As I said, though, I like the idea.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
I see your point. My view is that Molly's never really warmed to Hermione that much, and she's fiercly protective of her kids. I've never really seen Hermione and Ginny getting along that well, and Ginny's really temperamental. Thank you for reviewing!

The altercation that took place between Severus and Tiburos Flourish in Diagon Alley left me wondering just what the evil scumbag of a business man has in mind for Hermione. Severus knows he is up to something, but what?One thing that Severus DOES KNOW as a result of said altercation, is that he has very strong feelings for Hermione, and I'm certain he will do whatever is necessary to protect her.And Severus has to realize, as I am sure Hermione now realizes, that she has very strong feelings for him!!! After all, she had laid a kiss on him that neither will soon forget! Wonderful story! Can we expect... some... lemons... perhaps?Well done!Beth
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
There may be citrus involved in future chapters, but I promise nothing. Thank you!

WooHoo! Go Hermione. Her accidental kiss was a good thing, but now I wonder what Fourish is up to...
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
You will find out soon. Muahaha.

oi! you are such a tease! time for some lemons, yes?
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Maaayyyybe...in time. A few more things to go through first, but yes, eventually.

Well, as we say in Germany "realisation the first step towards recovery"...
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Yup. Though i don't know if he'll be recovering from this too soon.

Wow he actually admitted that he care for her. I've not dared for that to happen so quickly. I'm positively delighted. But a bit uneasy too. Flourish is obviously up to something no good.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Yeah. Slytherins, I've found, are not good at lying to themselves. They leave that to the deluded house of Gryffindor. And Flourish? Up to no good? Wherever did you get that idea? ; )

Those two are amazingly difficult. Ah, well, watching them find each other is fun.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
That's why they're so much fun. Silly Sev and Herm. Wuv dem.

It is quarter to six in the morning here, and I have only my eagerness to read this story to blame. It has it all. Bossiness, research, smirking, tension, interest. Most enjoyable mix, indeed.
Response from tonksinger (Author of Rare, Dangerous, and Unusual)
Teehee. I've definitely done that. "Oh this is brilliant...just one more chapter...just one more...gee, look at the time...just one more..." Thank you for thinking that my fic was worth sacrificing sleep for.

What a wonderful tale you have spun. I do hope that Herms and Sev really get to give it to the new owner of Flourish and Blott's; he deserves it!

Omg, I was recommended to this story by a friend of mine. I'm totally loving it, but I was reading at work and almost started crying when Hermione was looking at her destroyed store. Seriously, How Rude! I hope she shags Severus silly, and then the two of them give that guy what for! Well I'm just going to have to wait and see! Thanks for the awesome story! Cheers! ~

Thank you! No one's ever cried about that before, as far as I know. And thanks to your friend as well.
