Hmm.  That elf wouldn't be carrying copies of that note to all of Severus' fangirls, would it?  They could tell him what he has.  ;)  Thanks for your work!

A good story so far, and I look forward to more! :D

i ended in a fit of giggles, too!!!  i'm so glad you made ron gay.  it's a nice change from garry!  thanks for this intriguing start and i look forward to more updates and more of sexgod!neville!! 

Lots of promise for a fun story here. I enjoy that our heroes have come back for a year at Hogwarts, post war. Neville the hunk, hurray for him. And of course EWE, SSL is alright by me! I look forward to more. I love the idea of “A Fresh Start” for everyone. I did initially think that the story took off a bit slowly in the beginning, but once the trio hit the Hogwarts gates, things started moving along a bit better for me anyway. I agree with vdemon_96, though about the scale comment, unless you are being intentionally ambiguous in order to keep Snape guessing on which end of the scale he is on? If that is your intention, I will wait and see if Severus obsesses over what Hermione meant as to which end of the scale he is on.  If your intention is that he is off the scale beyond the knitting pattern, I think clarification is needed. Either way, the third chapter was really good, especially the imagery of all the Hogwarts girls gazing out of turrets at Neville in the garden. That was laugh out loud funny. 

I love the Potter Place challenges and I look forward to seeing more of this story. It is in my favorites.Best, Kat

Oh boy, what's Hermione going to do?  Very suspenseful and intriguing.  Great start!

I'm really liking this.

Neville just can't get a break can he? As soon as he stops being the clumsy boy that everyone picks on, he becomes the (still shy) handsome war hero that's being oggled and chased by fans.

I like that Severus has been 'not' *wink wink* seeking out Hermione for (at least) conversation, and that Hermione is looking forward to breaking out of her mold.

I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Ron gay!  Neville a hunk!  Hermione without a book!  This story is great!

Poor Neville. I hope he never settles in to his new celebrity. I wonder what Hermione's planning??

Oh, what a cliffhanger.  I've heard many recommendations for this story and I'm thrilled to see it show up on TPP.  The recommendations were all extremely accurate.  This is beautifully written so far.  I'm very much looking forward to the rest of the story.  Keep them coming!

Goodness, that's a nasty place to leave us off!

Good old Neville. I think I'm really going to enjoy where you're going with this fic!!!

I love it. Is this a single story? Are you continuing with this.

All those women watching Neville like he's the diet coke man is a pretty strong picture. Thanks for that by the way. Off to bed for me with pictures of hot buff Neville dancing in my head.

It's been almost three weeks are you ever going to update? I like what you have so far and have been checking back.

Lovely story! Thank you for the great reading piece!

Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm happy that you enjoyed it.

I'd forgotten how wonderful this story is. Was a joy to reread.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!  Re-reading is the greatest compliment!  <3

ahh! I loved it! every word! I really needed something to cheer me up and this did the job! I love your humor, too!

Oh my god.  I know I've already written several reviews of your wonderful tale... but I just wanted to say that I laughed until I CRIED when Hermione created the disgusting, farting, bubbling, grey, melty cauldron mess... and then said that through tears of mirth that she had always wanted to do that!  I felt as unhinged as Hermione... and had to reread that section 5 times.  I'm still giggling.  Quite a lot.  This story is SO funny and charming.

Good lord, this is killing me!  Off the charts, indeed!  What a fantastic feel-good story this is so far--I absolutely love it.

I have loved this first chapter!  Your writing is extremely funny, witty, snarky, and also quite elegant--and I'm so excited to see where it all goes.Also, I agree wholeheartedly with the last commenter that it is SO fun to see a new, sexy Neville who still has the same humility and sweetness as pudgy grey caterpillar Neville.  Fantastic!Thanks for writing!

Knitting pattern man! haha!definately a turn off for me but.. ah well.I notice Hermione didn't say which end of the scale Snape was off. Does that make sense?great story! made me smile.

I didn't get round to reviewing the last two chapters, but just had to after this one, I loved it, Hermione was brilliant, and I loved the way Snape couldn't help but ask about his postion on the scale. Brilliant!

The end is too funny and I'm still gigling about it. Keep up the good job.

Brilliant interaction between Hermione and Severus.

I love how he utterly fails to sound offhand, when he asks Hermione that last question.

And I love even more how she looks, then answers the way she does.

*happy dancing* 

Like it so far.  ^_^  Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I really like the idea of Neville finally coming into his own. This is a very good start. Look forward to more.
