Incredible story! It took me ages, but it sure was a pleasure to read!

Harry is very smart--he's seen Hermione in action before (cough canaries Umbridge cough). And I love Sev and Hermione's reunion! Her resolve to stay angry didn't last very long, did it?

Ben Weatherstaff. Wow. Nice inclusion to the Secret Garden movie or book (I've never read the book, but seen the movie)

Yay for Harry and the Big Clue Brick! If he hadn't spoken up, Severus would have thought for sure that Hermione was just going to dump him the way that Lily did. And Hermione would have lost someone who will love her forever, just because she's afraid that he was going to act like Ron.

Good chapter.

Excellent chapter. Hermione is acting crazy jealous (surprised she hasn't sent out the canaries yet) and still denying she's in love. Ahem. Maybe it's just me, but I think if she got drunk and then had hysterics all over Ginny or Luna it would probably be good for her.

I wonder what Sluggy's cut will be from the media when Snape finally agrees to those interviews? I hope Severus and Hermione do go-maybe the two can think of ways to make enough money so that Snape doesn't have to indenture himself to Lucius.

I bet that Snape could go to work for Industrial Light & Magic or Pixar as a hero in several The Great Hippogriff movies--that would finance his future career quite nicely!

**! This is ** awesome! Jesus just reading this seems enough fora ** ** arrggh

Ah! Hermione is finally realizing that there's more to life than time-tables. (Her parents are likely to reply, 'we haven't been able to control her since she was seven, what makes you think you have a chance?') And Snape's Poor Helpless Me act--well, he had to drink that awful potion, but it was still a star turn, wasn't it?

As for Harry--he is behaving oddly. Most young men who have a show right in front of them react er, quite differently than with nausea. But Harry has never been like anyone else, poor guy.

Excellent chapter--I'm glad that Hermione is finally beginning to realize just how much Severus loves her, and that she can't be indifferent to his welfare any longer.

Poor Harry! I'd feel sorry for him if he hadn't brought it on himself.

As for Hermione, ditto. I've heard of theses that were graded by weight before, but never actually saw. Somehow, I'm not surprised. As for not having time to fall in love--ok, that's like saying 'I don't have time for a piano to fall on my head'--it's a nice objective, but not always one that can be met.

Looking forward to more!

Good chapter! I expect there will be lots of fun and games in the ROR quite soon--though Severus and Hermione will likely have their duel somewhere, they may be wanting that bed after all .

"so do I,” Snape agreed. “I like everything about it except the sand between my cheeks.”

that's hilarious!

”Squaw?” the gryffin offered.

”Yeah, Squaw,” Hermione said with a smile. The gryffin made a chuckling noise as Hogwarts rose into view.

that was hilarious!
