I'm wondering how this is going to turn out, it is intriguing. WRite more :-)

I just have to coment. This fic is a rare, precious jewel. It is one of the very few with a realistic background and it stays true to the characters involved.

And it almost seems to have an added bonus just for me. That is the way you involve and portray Hermione's parents. A teenager still has very strong connections to their parents, conciously or otherwise. But most fics totally ignore this and portray Hermione, as if she had no one in the world, but Harry and Ron. If her parents are achknowledged at all, it is often in the way of being wary of the wizarding world, trying to pull her out of it, trying to get her a muggle boyfriend or even get her maried to one. Sometimes they are even abusive or her father is abusive to her mother.

All that is total rubbish. They are academics, both of them. They both have studied and have obviously instilled the love of learning and reading in Hermione. Not that I'm trying to say, that studied people are never abusive, unfortunatly that happens. I'm just saying that her parents are certainly not like that. The way Hermione is portrayed by Rowling, and the little bit, that is shown of her parents just shows, that they are loving, understanding people, who are open to new and unconventional things. They do everything in their power to raise Hermione to become a selfassured, strong and caring person. And that's how you portray her and them.

So thank you very much for this wonderful story. I hope to see much more of it soon and can't wait to see where this is leading.

Excellent beginning. I like how you've set up the situation so far and your writing style is really refreshing. I also like that you are not afraid of using a large vocabulary in this story - another appealing aspect! I will enjoy seeing what kind of situations you add as the story goes along - there are many possibiliities. Great job!

interesting!

continue!

I'm glad to see you've updated quickly - I enjoyed this chapter. It should be fun to see Severus in a Muggle house - did his studies include sections called 'The TV Remote and You' and 'The Computer is your Friend'?

OK, stopping now . Looking forward to more.

Cheers

Hermione's little sister? That was a little surprise, for me and I'm sure, for Snape.

I am enjoying the little nuances of personality woven in here and there.

AH! _ Hermione has a lil sister! _ I love little sisters. They're cute and sweet and annoyingly adorable! _ YAY!

Can't wait for the next chapter.

So far Severus has been kept in character, in my opinion, as have other characters. I especially liked Hermione feeling bad for Severus, as we know she takes on little projects helping others as with S.P.E.W. _

Oh, I like this! Little sister, how cute.

This fic is turning out to be a welcome treat, especially since the last one I read had Severus dying and wasn't under Angst or Tragedy so I thought it was a happy fic, but nevermind that. Anyway, this is really cool and I hope you add more chapters soon.

great writing

What a wonderful story! I just found it and I can't wait to see you update some more! Mione' has a sister? A little sister? How cute! I really hope you post soon!

One word:... Brillant.

Interesting. Update again soon please.

Ohh! Who's the girl? Herm's sister? And what was that about 'a friend' and 'a blessing?' What exactly HAS Hermione been telling her parents about Sev? And isn't Crookshanks's and Agrippina's music wonderful? *grins*

OOh, I like! Do continue soon...

Oh, this looks excellent! _ Snape's cat (I think it's a cat, anyway ; ) and Hermione's sister and the general confusion that's sure to follow... _ Well, I can't wait to read more of your lovely writing!
