Loved it (and this is the first Harry Potter fic I've read where the characters aren't totally brainless and out of character...).

This is a really nice piece of work.

Very nice. :)

awe, this was sweet in a severus snape way! very nice work!

love love love love this one-shot. It's absolutely brilliant and I have read it over like 20 times. I honestly think this should be a two-shot with the scene when the champion's choices are being put under-water or something. It would be amazing. thanks-you thank-you (:

I thought you wrote Snape particularly well - the way he has to make his point but hide his true motives, including from himself _ That was fun to read, and very plausible.

i really liked this it would be interesting to have a few more chapters. you wouldnt have to cover things from the harry point of view we all know what happens in the series, it could just be points throughout the ret of Hermione's life at hogwarts where sev has taken a 'Stricktly Professional Interest'

it could al be in severus's point of veiw or you can add hermiones POV in and her "stricktly concerened about the well being of her professor and not at all interested in him that way" Attitude lol.

and then you could miraculously alter the end of deathly hallows and have them live happily ever after the end

LOL

just a suggestion

thanx for the interesting read.

GLoW

The rise of Snape's interest in Hermione is logically described. This would appear to be the beginning of more tortured thoughts now that they have been unearthed to himself.

Great story! Never thought of a situation like the one you write about... Amazing!

i love severus's inner thought about the other professors in this!

That was great. Are you planning on writing another chapter? Maybe snapes thoughts during the task?

fic. i'm amazed by reading it...

Please oh please consider writing a sequel to this piece! You know alittle jealousy goes along way :) : Hands author a large happy face cookie : consider it a small bribe lol this was such a cute story with alot of insight. That and I totally think that Snape could kick Krums uh bum. Just something to think about ;)

I like it! you should most definatley write a sequel.

Wow, you are such a good writer. You always have Severus in character no matter what...

Very intriguing. I liked Snape's inner thoughts about the other teachers, particularly this one:

"Another shining example of your amazing grasp of the blatantly obvious," he thought with wry amusement.

Very Sev!
