Thanks.  I'm hoping to have the next chapter up soon.

Thanks!  Hermione's reaction will be in the next chapter so "stay tuned"!

Thank you so much for your encouragement.  Much more Shakespeare yet to come! 

Thanks.  Chapter 2 will be posted as soon as I get it back from my beta.  It shouldn't be much of a wait. 

LOL.  More Shakespeare and Hermione's reaction coming in the next chapter.  Thanks for your encouragement!

Thank you so much.  I really appreciate the encouragement. 

LOL.  Sorry.  I didn't intend to be mean.  More Shakespeare and Hermione's reaction to come soon.  Thanks for reviewing.

I'm so glad to hear that you are getting into the story.  Unfortunately for poor Severus, there's a bit more embarassment to come before we get to see Hermione's reaction.  Should be up soon.  Thank you for reviewing!

Thank you!  My characterizations are very important to me.  It means a lot to me to hear that they are appreciated.  Thanks again.

Thanks for the review.  I'm so glad you are enjoying it.  The story is complete so the chapters will be posted as soon as I get them back from my beta. 

Thank you so much for the review.  I hadn't read that much Shakespeare since high school (which was many years ago)!  It was fun though.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it!  Unfortunately, there will not be a sequel to this one though :(

Thanks!  I really don't think I'd ever read that much Shakespeare before as I did researching this and never in one sitting!  LOL.  And I've got one of the greatest betas (and friends) in the world.

Thank you so much.  I'm say glad to hear you like it and that all the research was worth it. 

Thank you!  Yeah, I would hate to be Dennis Creevey right now!  LOL.

Thank you.

Chapter 4 is currently with my beta.  It should answer your question.  *hee hee*  I'm so glad you are enjoying the story.  Thanks so much for the review.

LOL.  Lupinschewtoy asked a very similar question.  To be completely honest, I never really gave any thought to Snape writing rather than speaking.  The idea just never popped into my head.  But then again, I get a rather fiendish delight out of forcing Snape to confront Hermione under the spell's effects and since writing a letter not destined for Hermione would probably negate the spell's effect, where's the fun in that?  I know that Snape will absolutely hate me for it (although I hope he will forgive me in the end because I really do love him), neither he nor the readers have seen the last of Snape on Shakespeare quite yet.  The next chapter has been altered slightly and e-mailed to Ravine (my beta) so hopefully it'll be ready to post soon.  So, please, I'm begging you, no more nuzzles.  The purring I rather enjoy, but the nuzzling tickles tremendously!  :)  *giggling way too much for my age thanks to my overly ticklish ankles*

The latin was chosen word by word through an English-Latin online translator so I have no doubt that it is way off, but it was the best I could do at the time.  I promise more interaction in the next chapter though.

I'm so glad I could help!  Your review has made my day! 

Thanks!  I'm reworking part of the next chapter, but I will try to get it to the beta in the next day or two.  Promise!

Thanks!  I'm so glad to hear you are enjoying it!

I can just imagine all the twinkling this situation would have caused!  Especially if Minerva is an indication!

I'm so glad you are enjoying it.  The response this story has generated has made the effort SO worth it!  Thanks so much for the review.  *blush*
