Hello all,  I am a 53 year old from NZ.  Although SSHG is how I started and still my main pairing, I'll give pretty much any pairing a try, whether it be reading or writing.  Sev and Herms need a bit of variety at times. ;)

I laughed out loud when I read your exchange between Snape and Hemione in the beginning about how he could hurt himself if he exercised in that condition.  I love witty banter in the stories I read.  And the scene with them in the potions classroom...:-)  You're doing great with this story, at least I think so.Looking forward to the next chapter.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Thank you, Rhiannon! :)

This was quite astounding to find..I mean most SS/HG stories dont give the innocence of a budding relationship anymore.  It all flies to the point or to some plot drama/twist.  Very amazingly written.  I simply love it.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Thank you. I'm glad you like the how I have done so far! :)

I can't wait for the next chapter!  It will have lemons, right?  *sigh*I have had such a good time seeing how Severus' and Hermione's relationship has grown over time.  And I'm thrilled that they have the support of a few selected people who know them well and understand how perfect they are for each other... their hopes and dreams, temperament and passions are so very well matched.  You've done a great job with the characterization!!!I also like that Hermione's effect on the Potions Master is so, erm... "huge" that he had to teach the rest of the class from behind his desk!  LOL!!!  That was brilliant.  How cheeky of our Miss Granger to make sure she brushed "his groin with the back of her head as she turned."  Woo hoo!I love it!  Beth

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

I like writing a bold Hermione.  She's a war veteran after all, not a swooning maiden LOL. Thanks for reviewing, Beth! :)

*grin* I won't even consider this as bad cliffie so much happy as I am. I'm still gigling from the potions class scene with the poor professor forced to hide behind his desk in order to not cause a massive bunch of heart attacks. *snikers*Just a question: what does Plutarch mean?

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Plutarch was the real author of a book called On Sparta, that was mentioned in an earlier library scene. :)

Response from snitchette (Reviewer)

thanks

It must be 'hard' for them to keep their feelings at bay. I'd be all over the man! I'm looking forward to the next chapter very much!

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Very hard. ;)

You had better be bloody good in bed to make it worth waiting that long, Severus Snape!” What this girl think? Of course he's a sex God.  It's BLOODY FUCKING SNAPE after all.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

LOL. Thanks for the review! :)

i know it can be hard (pun intended!) but sometimes it's just too much fun to effect them that way and watch them deal with the consequences!  i dated a guy on the sly (he worked for me and we had to keep it secret) and gave him tremedous hickeys.  then i would tease him about his girl friend "hoover lips" at work the next day.  wicked me!  love this story and love you!  thanks so much

ROFL, you naughty thing! :)

Such a stalwart man.  I'm sure he's as frustrated as she is.  Minerva was quite sweet, and I was surprised to see Severus had been hiding the whole time.  Hermione's words were from the heart, and he knew it.

Thanks, deb! :)

Interesting comment. May I respectfully suggest that you don't read the next chapter, because you won't like it.  :)

Boys.  They definitely come from another planet! :)

Harry is being a wonderful friend in this chapter. Especially when dealing with the embarrassing subject of manly parts.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Poor Harry. I think he may have bitten off more than he can chew! :)

This was a charming chapter. I enjoyed the way you weaved the delicate attraction growing between them into finally meeting each other in a silent moment of holding hands. I could feel the racing heart of Hermione's!Livvy

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Thanks, Livvy! :)

I liked this chapter (and chapter 6 for that matter, since I didn't get a chance to review when it came out) a lot.  I like Harry being helpful.  And Severus's and Hermione's confessions of love to and about each other were very touching.It does seem a bit OOC to reveal so much in such a sentimental way to Harry and Minerva, but maybe that's just because we're conditioned to urgent secrecy in other fanfiction stories.  And really, it's nice to see Severus so happy in his newfound love and willing to show that in front of others.In any case, I'm enjoying your story very much.  I like the light, humorous tone you have taken.  Looking forward to more.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Thanks, Prof.  Yes, I have tried to be a little different to other stories.  The Snape character in fanon seems to be very angsty, damaged  and secretive, but in canon he is mostly seen from Harry's POV which is biased, and he is a spy, so he has to be secretive.  We don't know a lot about what he is really like, except from the memories in DH which show him as capable of great love and emotion, so I  took him more down that path. Thanks for reviewing again! :)

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Reviewer)

If you ever decide to write any outtakes from this story, a scene where Harry asks Severus for kissing pointers would be hilarious!

Awwww ... some parts of this had me in tears.  I like how their relationship is building, and it's lovely to have the support of friends.Waiting eagerly for the next chapter ...

Great chapter.   I love the way the relationship is developing between Hermione and Severus.  You do a great job writing your characters.  Your supporting cast for Hermione and Severus are great.  You've done a fantastic job of incorporating the others into the story.Anxiously awaiting your next chapter.

Response from sunny33 (Author of The Runner)

Thank you for your kind words! :)

Poor Harry! That must have been extremely uncomfortable. I'm lookig forward to reading more, and I love how they are getting together on their own as war veterans, instead of some ridiculous marriage law. Great work!
