great chapter!  i'll bet he has to go to diagon alley and that he will explode.  i can't wait to read the next one though.  i predict a very close relationship is about to come into play here soon.  EEE!  anyways, can't wait to read more!

Nice work.... I really enjoyed the "feel of magic" scene!   Looking forward to Hermione's solution!

Thanks for updating again! I always look forward to reading the latest chapter in this story :)
But that makes me wonder.. What is the solution that is so ridiculously easy and obvious? Hmm.. I guess I'll just have to wait for the next update again! :)

Evil cliff hanger, bad author!  All well, it's your privilege and hopefully we will have the answer soon.  I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

Not bad, Hermione is very much in character.  Give that girl a problem and she's like a dog worrying a bone.

Why doesn't he have magic?  Can he get it back?

I'm not sure if he would enjoy that gift.

How is he getting money from the products sold?  If everyone thinks he's dead then how is he getting a check?

Quite a shock to see a dead man walking so to speak.  Very nice, I loved Hermione's outrage over Snape's name being used to garnish sales.

It'll be one of those obvious things that has been staring them in the face, won't it?  :)

Aww crap. So she has the solution but you're not going to tell us until... *pouts* (Lovely, as always, my dear.)

Aaargh! I hate this cliff hanger madness! Must be some plague that affects all authors on this site!

Ooh, whats the answer? I like her breakthrough, makes total sense. But...whats the answer? Oh, please tell us, please?

Complicated situation, for the both of them... it would be interesting to know how and why Snape lost his magic, and if it can be restored.

Author's Response: Indeed - very complicated! Hopefully more answers will be forthcoming!

"Let's Set Hermione Up With Quidditch Players Brunch"--sounds like a yearly tradition!  I also loved Draco's description of Nagini...  Good work, as usual.  I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

Great chapter.I'm glad she was able to catch up with Severus.Waiting for more.

heaven bless our married and attached friends who try to set us up...they mean well and occasionally score a hit...occasionally.  terrific update.  thanks so much

I love your sense of humor.  this is such a good story!  Thanks for all the updates at once, (well it seemed like all at once, because I was off line for a while)Excellent

wonderful!  I'm glad I have another chapter before I am caught up!  write fast. please!  Poor Severus with no magic.

I love this story.  One thing confuses me, why didn't she simply admit to Mrs Longbottom that she'd seen and spoken to Snape?  I was so surprised she didnt do that.good chapther  thanks for sharing this with us.

Snape's reactions seen very natural.  I am enjoying this so much! 

Good premise. I like the portrayal of Hermione as a terrier with a rat - tenacious. And as for Snape, the more sarcastic and snarky, the better.

Poor Hermione, blind date brunches...  This is my first time to read this wonderful story. I adore it.

<i>let's set up Hermione brunch </i> ROTFL! I'm sure she will find something...

Don't think Ernie's snake was the one she wanted to study! :)
