Ooh yes, the attraction is starting; how lovely. I really do like their idea to get back at the twins--it's quite clever.

That was really nice of Sev to give Hermione a massage. Ron certainly seems the type to try to win her back, but I think he is going to get a surprise. She truly does not see him in that light, so he would be better off to move on.

I love it. The twins are always up to their tricks... I can't wait to see where it gets them and Hermione this time. I really like where this is going! Great job. :)

I can't wait to see what Sev has in store for our two favourite trouble makers.

This was a very enjoyable story!  I especially liked the reference to Tribbles and the very inventive Can-Touch Talc!

great story!  i love the star trek references.  thanks for writing.  very funny as well! 

Thanks for this amusing tale!  I laughed out loud at the office gossip.  I had a similar experience once, except that everyone was THIRLLLED to death that little me had a fellow.  He wasn't a boyfriend, but try convinicing THEM!

Loved this line:

He stood out as the person who ever-so-politely shoved his way to the front of the line. You stood out because you didn't appear to care, yet everyone knew you could get to the front of the line faster than anyone else if you wanted to."

 I'm really surprised at your choice of making Hermione reluctant to participate in Harry and Ginny's wedding. This seems unrealistic, given the Trio's closeness--though I know one of Ron's prime characteristics is jealousy, I just can't see this as big enough to cause her not to be involved... (this opinion might have been influenced by the fact that I strongly dislike my sister-in-law, and she was still a bridesmaid in my wedding).

 That being said, I'm enjoying the ride, and am now very curious as to what Snape's up to!

"Why is it that there are some students who seem to need to be parented their entire lives?"

Love that line! So McG. The bits about Slughorn were also very enjoyable. So few people appreciate his character, and I think you've got him down pat.

Plot-wise, this chapter seemed a bit scattered, but that will almost certainly rectify itself once I head on to the next chapter--you do tend to set things up and resolve them, as I've noticed. 

Though I'm not a fan of 'twin-speak,' I am very intrigued by the premise of this story! I think your characterization of Snape was quite well-on, and Hermione as an entry-level Ministry worker is more realistic than what most fics have her as. Looking forward to reading more :)

I LOVED IT!!!  I just read this entire story in one sitting i couldnt stop.  I love your writing style, and look forward to more fics.

Don't apologize for the fluff. It was a very enjoyable read. Life would be depressing if all fics were 50 chapters and 250,000 words of angst. Rhanks for the story.

loved the story wish I could have found it earlier

this story was great.  i love star trek and the tribbles was my mothers favorite.  thank you for the laughs and the plesant memories of my mother.

Great story with very unique ideas. Excellent plot line, and bonus points for inclusion of the original series of star trek in a harry potter story!

The only suggestion I would make (it is a suggestion, not a complaint or a 'flame') is that you could possibly refer to Fred and George's  'detention' as 'revenge.' The point made with using the theme of giving them a post-school detention is a good one, but the word or concept of revenge could be used to replace the concept of detention later in the story.

I espcially liked the fact that "this story was light on plot and heavy on fluff". I get tired of tension and adventure sometimes. And my own life has plenty of it's own tension, thank you very much. What's better than a "light romance", I ask you? How 'bout a wizarding version of "Meet the Falkers" next time or "Bridget Jone's Diary". Both perfectly respectable light romances, if I may say so. In fact, I would like to place a request for something ridiculously stupid like a wizarding version of "Serority Boys" or "Bubble Boy". When's the last time you laughed till you peed your pants? That's always good for the endorphines!  In fact, I would like to make a habit of it so I could use your help. If you've never seen them, it's time you made a trip to the DVD rental store.

I loved this piece!  The pygmy puff scene was hysterical.  Your writing was incredible.  Great job

This was a lovely story - I really liked it! I would have liked it to have continued for another chapter or two, so it included the wedding. A sequel would be nice. Or maybe you've already written one? I'll have to check. And I like your idea of the Can-Touch Talc!! That would be quite nice to have for special occasions!

I just found this story and am reading through the chapters - it's great! And I love how you included "Star Trek"... too funny. I'm a big fan of that show too. I'm glad I can keep reading and see what happens next, instead of having to wait for updates!

I've been eagerly reading each chapter as they come, and I can't believe I've yet to give a review!

Fred's scar by SS is a nice touch, and something I can definitely see him doing. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Tempest, this story is moving along so nicely!  I really like how you are writing Severus here--his "thawing" toward Hermione (and his justification) is really believable.  Great smut, too!

Must write more my dear! I loved it!Julianna

I really love this chaopter . Severus is trying his hardest to be what she wants and needs.I hope it continues.

go Hermione, go!!  Damn those boys. . . . they're old enough to worry about their own happiness and mind their own business and keep their noses' out of others!  She's got EVERY RIGHT to be selfish and put her own happiness first.

About the wands. . . .LOLOLOL.  I knew there was a catch. . . but I have every faith in two of the brightest minds Hogwarts has ever seen. 

This story continues to be so delightful and funny and just plain lovely.  Favorite scene in this chapter: " Severus rested his cheek against the top of her head and closed his eyes, the corners of his lips lifting just a bit as he relaxed." That was just so sweet and warm! Gave me a big grin to visualize it.
