Hm, very interesting!I don't know your style yet. But judgin from the number of following chapters she's not going to commit suicide :DBut I honestly think that it's a cool thing that it would be possible -  and that I would believe it. Sad but reasonable (er, don't get me wrong with that, but she's has been fallen into a huuuge hole here) for a person that once was the most needed brain around and is now just a number in an office.Sad. And believable.Very good.

I love it that you took this five years into the future.  They have settled in with each other, there are no more illusions, but still they are tender and loving.  A wonderful story.

Mmm, I can't blame her for being disappointed.  It will be her finest hour, or if she doesn't win, a great disappointment.  Severus should be there.

Another fine chapter.  I do hope that this is the beginning of a renewed friendship between Harry and Hermione.  They'll never quite get back what they had in their youth, but it would be nice for both of them to be more than just  colleaguesWhat an exciting time for Hermione, and a sad occasion for their relationship.  I can see why it would be a bad idea for him to go, but still, people know that they are a couple, and for him to not accompany her, kind of belittles their relationship to the public eye.  Not to mention how it will make her feel, even if she is sympathetic to his reasons.Good or bad, can't wait to see what is coming next!

Sigh.  Poor girl.  I don't know that he loves her as much as she loves him. 

i see why you stopped when you did...it's all about quality not quantity!  great update.  thanks and mucho smoochies

I'm so glad they settled into their own cacoon. They are so perfect together. Great story.

good to have the childern issue out of the way. Did she start anykind of wrk = gainfull contribution to the financial situation?  I'm glad he's moved in and they are happy, but it's stagnant.

Its good that he realized his advances would be welcomed. I like the equality  they are trying to achieve.Harry's reactions to her were so cute. Half angry - half intimidated. I'm so glad that they are at least listening to each other rather than yelling or breaking things. He has valid points she needs to consider - she has shut herself away. Hopefully she can find peace and make up with her friends.  as for job - in due time and something she enjoys, hopefully

So saying that he was unable to sleep with her in the bed. Her reaction was so typical that it was heart saddening. Its sweet her wearing his shirt. The reaction of the press was expected - and Harry took it well Not. lol

love this story byw!

Really a good chapter look forward to more soon I hope :)

How sweet. It looks like things are working out. But what fun is a happy story? I can't wait to see what you throw into the mix next chapter. :)

I just wanted to hug him when he said, 'You would want my children?'. I love it when Severus is truly moved by something... even if he won't admit it. Great short chapter! I'm glad they're settling into things well, and that the Wizarding world is finally leaving them in peace. :)

Oh, how I hate you!  Wait... scrolls up... you said NOT to hate you!  My bad...I thought that was lovely.  I enjoyed him hiding for 20 minutes then asking if she wanted HIS children.  Durz.  Loving their easy relationship.

Cosy domesticity.  I'm surprised Harry hasn't been around for a visit. :)

I don't mind a short chapter.  It's a good story and a longer chapter definitely works but a well-written short chapter is good too.  I love imagining the domesticity.  I'm glad they're getting some peace.

Hmmmm... *looks for reason to hate you**Progress is made in their relationship-no*The "you want kids?" talk without him freaking out-no*Practicing procreation (sounds like a bad sex ed film)-no*Cohabitating at Hilltop cottage-no*Being ignored by the magical community-no*Really short chapter-ye...oh, the next chapter is in queue?  Well, I guess I am allowed to continue to like you.  But... don't mess it up by making them do things that I wouldn't like.  Got it?  Thanks :)

It is nice that they can just be Severus and Hermione.

That was a really pleasant chapter. So are you about to wrap things up or is this the calm before the storm?

I kind of see Harry's side of things. I'm guessing that babies are going to come up in her next discussion with Severus? Harry seems to have planted a few seeds of doubt.

Yes it is short but it so sweet. I love that Severus isn't against the idea of children. It might prove useful in the near future I guess (or at least hope).

That was great. I love the final note. Minerva's visit should be interesting. Heck, just to hear the conversation in her office when she reads the paper.

‘Oh, shit,’ he said. ‘Minerva is going to kill me.’Hehe, no Howler from her, he/they can expect a personal visit

Awwww, I'm glad everything is alright between them, and Severus isn't regretting his and Hermione's relationship. It's wonderful, and I hope they both give Harry Potter what for!I love it...Well done, I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next!...

hehe. I was so glad to see an update and it is a very good one :) I like how he's trying to handle getting used to a relationship but the very end of the chapter made me giggle a lot. Poor guy, I can just imagine her scolding him now hehe.
