Oh noooooooo...  You did NOT do that!  There must be a problem with my internet connection... it won't download the whole chapter!  Aaarrrggghhh!Yes, you did do that, too.  How could you?Better yet, what are you going to do about it?I'm dying here, neelix.C'mon... help me out a little...Damned good (and damned short) chapter.  And yes I see why.  But I don't have to like it.*grumbles*Five stars anyway!Beth

Oh no you can't do this! Severus go after her! Hermione come back! Please update again soon! Sooner they are back to together the better!

UGHHH! Doing something foolish? Have you gone starkers!! Continue on! I hate these evil cliffies! Eccckkk!

Oh no! There is no more to read today! That was an evil cliffie! AHHHHHH!Please update this soon.

Okay I am glad that the next chapter is already posted because that was an evil way to end the chapter.

I am really liking this story. I understand where Severus is coming from. He doesn't want to hurt her but....I do hope they will at least talk about it. Or maybe Hermione will have to make the first move. Hmmmm....More to read.

poor sevvy, he's losing his best friend again.  maybe something will happen and she won't go or Severus will follow her... can't wait to read more!

No, I do not hate you, but your cliffies are pure evil!This is such a bittersweet chapter.  Though they both know that it is important for her to go back to school, both are so very sad about it, too.  And I'm sad.  What ever will they do while she is in Paris!The scene of them babysitting James and Albus is priceless, and I almost had a fit when Ginny called out to them just before they were going to kiss.  Aaarrrggghhh!  Evil, evil cliffie... and you've become a real pro at them... just like a good author should.  Keeps 'em comming back for more!Great work, neelix.  I love it!Beth

Look how domestic Severus is turning out to be!  Hopefully Hermione can find a local school...

Close, but no cigar! :)

Ginny! Just a minute later and... well things are never that simple. Great update

very evil cliffie!  love the story, tho.  terrific update.  thanks so much

ARGH!  An almost kiss.   I loved this chapter.  I thought it was sweet having Snape see what he could possibly have.  But that almost kiss kills me.  Looking forward to more

Of course we hate you! It's some kind of hate-love, though ;-)

Of course, I adore your cliffhangers! *glowers* Not. I hope nothing happens before Mione goes away, that way things can escalate. ^_~ lol, I can't wait till the next chapter!

Well it wouldn't Severus and Hermione if things didn't take awhile, would it? It's good this way because, realistically, she needs the time to heal - for herself. Of course, I want them to get together but, imo, I think it would be better, or at least more realistic, if she went back to school first. Not like they can't owl or apparate to see one another. However, I'm really looking forward to that first kiss! Nothing like babysitting with the object of your desire to make you realize what your missing-or depending on who you babysit how much birth control you will need. LoL

ooohh those two!  just talk to each other!  lovely update.  thanks so much

Well, isn't this the moment where the wild desperate chase starts in Hollywood movies?

Oh, that just went farther and farther downhill!  Hopefully some of her words will sink into his thick skull. 

You had to leave it at that point, cruel author indeed!

Severus just sat there and let her run, why didn't he just say 'Hermione I feel the same' .. No he wouldn't say that would he, because he's bloody Severus Snape (Which we all love of course) but god damn stubborn man! Look forward to more by the way haha.

Yikes! Dammit people, communicate!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Oh you wicked wicked author!  Leaving us on the edge of a cliff like that!  Can't wait for the next chapter. *Drums fingers impatiently on desk*

oy - you evil, evil, author you...that wasn't a chapter that was a snack. an evil snack that leaves you unfulfilled (or maybe like chinese food where you just get hungry again in 10 mins after everything has just settled in) lolcan't wait to see what happens next - somethings gotta give with one of them... :-)

ahh suspense much!!!!! lol good chapter as always hun loving it.S_px

What is this?!?!?!  You're ending the chapter here?  You are ebil.  Ebil, I say...  wellllll, not really, only you left us here to wonder what's going to happen next.  Arrggghhhh!Clearly neither wants to be away from the other.  Perhaps after this exchange of words they had just now, Severus will find the courage to tell Hermione how he feels about her... since she's already voiced how she feels about him.*sigh*With a deep, shuddering sigh, he wiped the tears from his eyes and reached for the Firewhisky.  You're breaking my heart here, neelix.  Well written!Beth
