Severus Snape! Buy her the chocs--you'll be glad you did. (thinking thoughts about melted nougat and how it might feel to be licked--er, well, I'm sure you can fill in the rest).

Besides, anybody who _likes_ Gummi Bats has little to complain about, especially when they get stuck in her hair.

Yes, _that_ hair, which is even curlier .

Cute one-shot.

This is brilliant, really. Sweet and funny at the same time, I loved it.

Once I started, I couldn't stop reading it. The narrative is perfect. I love the closing with Snape reading over her shoulder.

This is brilliant I love it. You've really picked up on a lot of the cliches in the HG/SS area of fanfic and written them then promptly written them out and it was great. I always enjoy reading your stories and this one did not disappoint. Consider yourself faved.

That was perfect. loved it!

This was great!

Lovely and well written.

Beautiful, and very enjoyable. Thank you!

Amen, say I, having just stopped reading an actual romance novel in disgust. (I think "spirited filly" was in there somewhere.)

I've been a follower of yours for at least a year now, and I am glad of it, particularly when there are cute, sweet things like this. I like your innuendo and implications and the strength it takes to resist writing all the back-stories you so clearly have in your head.

Absolutely brilliant. I love it.

That was really cute. :) I like how you've just made it so... real, and so like HG and SS! Super cute, no OOCness here! :)

Liked this a lot, made me smile. Nice work.

Very nice indeed. "Snarky" is a bit jarring coming from Hermione, though, unless she's a fan, because it's a word that doesn't exist in Britain, outside of fandom.

Thank you so much for sharing this story with all of us! I absolutely love the poignancy you bring out through your writing. There is a sense of frustration, pleasure, and humor that combines into that contentedness that only the individual self can identify and embrace. I think we all have the feeling where we know life could be so much different and that we could have avoided the pain and suffering we've endured, and yet, we wouldn't change things. I think Hermione's acceptance of her life--the joy and humor that shows through it--is such a beautiful thing--it makes me want cry. I hope you will share more with us! Take care- Req
