Good old Minnie! :)

LOL @ Hagrid! :)

She didn't hold out long! ;)

He needs to figure out how to do that or he will lose her.

Patience.  That's good.  No need to fall into bed immediately! :)

Whew! he took that well! :)

Wahoo! She didn't seem surprised! :)

Poor guy!  He needs some lessons on how to not be such a...man.  He will come to terms with his emotions sooner or later (hopefully sooner but probably later).  I liked his jealousy of the photograph.  His feelings of jealousy are kind of ridiculous but so sweet in that newly in love sort of way.

At least Severus has admitted to himself that he has fallen in love with her.  And she has already told him, in so many words, that she is in love with him.So what are these two waiting for?  They may have a few uncomfortable days ahead of them, but I believe that they will find out just how good life can be when you are loved!Super chapter!

LOL. Nice apology with the mug! :)

Sad and sweet at the same time.  I hope Severus will be able to let go of his unhappy childhood and rejoice in his love for Hermione.  She right, his home needs to be cleaned of the negativity, and I think she will help him come to terms.Good chapter here!Beth

Thick, both of them! LOL

They really do share the ties that bind.  Of all the problems that Severus and Hermione could have, this has got to be the most wonderful problems ever!I'm surprised that Hermione was able to bounce back so soon after finding out than Minerva's niece was a prostitute (and a very good one, at that) and that Severus used to hire her services on a regular basis.  I'll bet Severus wanted to go through the floor when the Headmistress mentioned Lulu.Now I've just got to go find out how being together in his home plays out.  Oh yeah, I love this "getting to know you" story!Beth

A school uniform on only the second date.  That's asking a bit much LOL! :)

tell her tell her tell her!!  Nice chapter.  I love his feelings about the photo.

wonderful update.... with stirrings of angst.....

I think Hermione needs to remember the concerned words Valentine gave her the night she met her soulmate and act accordingly.  Perhaps a little Veritaserum in his morning coffee??  Evil but effective?  After all it would be for the "greater good"!  

When will he get it through his thick skull and she will understand what he is going through if he only opens up to her.  Men, can't live with them, can't shoot them.  Oh well, gotta love them.  Great chapter.  I can't wait until the next update.Sevibaby

STUBBORN GIT! Ohhhh, I just wish he'd say it already...Leaving Hermione guessing like that..Poor thing..Someone needs to hit him! LOL!!!!

He really needs to work on that.

Nice job, you really feel like you are in his home.

it's amazing how places can pick up vibrations from events that happen there, good and bad.   wonderful update.   thanks muchly

I've read and re-read this story on AFF.net - glad to see it here!

Ee, it's grim oop t'North, by gum.  Poor Sev, he's such a tragic figure, and this is so powerful.  The line about seeing his Dad through the firewhiskey...*shivers*.

I hope Hermione is going to drive some of the negative enegy away, hopefully with lots of noisy sexin!

Another good chapter, but way to keep us anticipating!
