Severus loses a magical bet to Albus. The consequences? He's forced to take Argentine Tango lessons from Hermione during her summer break from University. An uneasy friendship is formed that turns into something more. What part does the Wolfsbane Potion play, and what is the mystery behind the Enchanted Leaf? Equal parts: humor, sensuality, adventure, and mystery. My answer to the codpiece challenge on Wiktt. HG/SS (Rating for later chapters).

I am amazed and enthralled with the Harry Potter universe, with the emphasis on Snape. HG/SS is my favorite ship (you have been warned). I like sci-fi ? Star Wars, Quantum Leap, Star Trek, and Ray Bradbury to name a few. Horror also catches my interest as in Stephen King. I am a married, mother of two teenagers, multiple pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, turtle), and I work way too many hours. The rest is window dressing and subject to change without notice. I am also on staff on a wonderful new site called Playwitch. Visit when you get a minute: WWW.Playwitch.net

Here's to hoping that RL cuts you a break so you can update this wonderful story more often. Loved this chapter as usual.
Lovely as usual !! Great chapter!
What a lovely sunday treat! Thank you for updating. I so so love this story. It is good to finally get some more info on the leaf :)As always, thank you for writing!
OMG!!!!!!! I LUV IT SO FAR!!!! i normally don't review. only on special occasions, and ur story happens to be one of those special occasions. 
luv how u put the story together. luv the plot. it's different. a bet, original.
Lovely update as always! Thank you so much for writing. Poor Severus, he needs to find a female master for Hermione so he isn't constantly brooding... or a gay one...
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
A few of those points are actually discussed in the next chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon.
The waitress and the friend really seem like cameos.. There's just something about them..
And poor Severus with the voice.
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
*nods head*Just a walk on. Maybe they can find better roles next time...LOLMore soon, thanks for reading and reviewing.
Nice chapter.
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
Thanks for reading and reviewing, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. More soon.
More more more more more more more more more more--standard gratuity for excellent service is 15-20%, so more more more more more!!! (there, a 50% tip)~Lotm(okay, so it's a demand, but still--!!)
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
LOL - you can demand. I'm in the middle of the next chapter as we speak. A few more twists and turns. Should be interesting. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon.
just lovely. I do hope that no servers were injured for the sake of this chapter
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
LOL - wish I had thought to put that disclaimer at the end of the last chapter. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon.
Oh now that was just delicious. I do hope that Hermione and Severus have that talk soon. He knows she loves him, but he does not seem to realize that that is not just a passing thing. Poor man. Great chapter. You keep writing. I will keep reading. Love it.B
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
Severus should come to better terms with their relationship soon. Glad you're enjoying the story, it still has a ways to go. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Todays been a special day in my family. Gifts and fabulous meal plus wonderful wine!!.I really did not think it could get much better. GUESS WHAT WRONG!! A new chapter of a very fav. story. So thank you, for a lovely end to a marvelous day. Best wishes,
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
Glad I could help make you're day. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon.
Poor Severus, he just can't seem to understand why Hermione loves him. I think they are going to have to have that conversation soon or he (or his inner voice) will end up driving him crazy and her away. And we all love them together. Great job. -- B
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
Severus, for all his bravado, strikes me as the type that would be uncertain when involved in a relationship - my guess is that he hasn't had any long term relationships in the past. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon.
I've been reading in installments (granted they've been 8 hours at a go installments) but I must say I have been very impressed. Some may think the whirlwind nature of their entanglement a bit reaching but I find it utterly natural. When you meet someone/realize there is a connection it often feels like being hit by a train, it's so overwheling and sudden. I'm loving the interactions and meddling and the chemistry you have created. Your logic and reasoning are totally sound, from what I've seen. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
I'm glad you're enjoying the story. It might seem a bit fast, but basically the premise is that they now see each other in a different light - past student and teacher, know it all and bat - are now just discovering each other as a man and woman. Their first meeting is early August and where you're at in the story, it's the end of October, so three months, but three months of constant contact. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon!
My goodness what an epic! I've spent most of today reading it from the beginning. Brilliant! I now need more.....Who will Hermione apprentice with? Will They marry? What is the connection with the Emerald Leaf? How slimey is Rancine really and what is he planning? Please give me the answers! LOL : ) x
Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
*blushes*Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Your questions are all great, the answers are (in some order) - yes, no, Severus has to see, and could be. Sorry, if I really told you what really happens, you'd have to disappear...grin. Thanks for reading and reviewing, more soon!
-bows at the feet of Pearle-Another great one! Ohhhh... You like leaving those damned cliffies, dont you?

Response from Pearle (Author of Dances with Witches)
Thank you, and yes. Chapters have to end at some point, that was just a logical place to stop. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
I enjoyed this chapter. BTW, notice I took your suggestion for my penname?
How much longer a time period will this story cover? You could write an epic or family saga with it as you keep bringing in new things.
The reference to Harry's gilliweed ears makes me think you were influenced by the movie.
I adore your story and I have reviewed many times. However, I do not understand why Hermione doesn't just apprentice with Severus, I mean her grades would damn anyone trying to say favouritism wouldn't they? Not a critism just a point of view.I thoroughly enjoyed her stand against Rancine, great piece of writing.
This story gets better and better, but I really want to know what's going on with Rancine, and will Tenbrook be rocking the Good Ship SS Hermione?Please update soon!
Oh lordy!! How awesome was that stunt of Hermione's. Squee! The only thing I noticed at the end that has me a little nervous, was the comment Tenbrook made to himself. 'Most interesting witch, indeed.' Yikes! Hope he doesn't make any moves on her with Severus involved.....More please!
I really liked this chapter. New magic that should be interesting. You can just feel the tension in the chapter.
Great chapter. I loved how Snape got a little jealous. I can't to see what happens
It should be interesting to see what Severus does to figure out the unexplained magic. I don't think that he will find out any additional information at the shop. He is going to have to take a different route to find out what he need, I think. I really can't wait to find out. I am glad that Hermione is as strong an individual in your story as she appears in the books. I am glad that this story just keeps going, I hope it continues to bring about new plot strings that will need to be tied up before this is all over. -- B
This is a wonderful story. I say that with every chapter that you write, but it is true everytime so there you go. Magic sex, is there somewhere I can sign up for some of that. I hope that Racine gets it from Hermione after he is no longer able to hold it against her. And of course more yummy goodness of Hermione and Severus. B
Love it!! I just love stories where Severus falls in love and becomes jealous!! Wish I had someone like that for me-tall, dark, handsome, brilliant, passionate...*sigh*
Keep up the awesome work!
Pearle, You KNOW how much I LOVE this story...Poor Hermione, I do hope she has to stay a little bit longer at HOGWARTS....Can't wait to see WHAT else this pendant does.. and find out more about it!....GREAT CHAPTER.....
