Ah! So glad to see this updated! I can’t wait to see how not telling Severus about Nigel’s visit comes back to bite Hermione. I love that you continue to write them both as such flawed and broken people - Severus denying all things emotional and Hermione being so consumed by her insecurity. 

I’m so glad you’re back! I have been missing your updates, I have reread this story so many times in the past 3 years! I’m so excited to see where you take this story! I’m already eagerly anticipating your next chapter! yay!!! CryingCinderella is back!!!! *happy dance*

Thank you for going on with this story. I have some pity for this Nigel boy, but he is such a prat. And I fear that he always complicate deweloping a relationship between Hermine and Severus when he shows himself.

I realy love your Ideas for this crazy stuff they test, always a little surprise garated. What a Cliffhanger...

Hope muse will be kind to you so that i can read more of this soon.

Thank you for writing

Ohhh I can't wait for that Nancy boy to jump off a bridge. Blech get all hot and bothered and then have to picture 2 guys it's like an ice bath. I sort of wish Hermione did a little more with potions. I like your Hermione but she seems a little .... empty sometimes. We don't ever get to see a hint of her genious and I think working with severus in his potions lab would bring them that much closer and edge the gay twit out because he will realize Hermione is much more suitable and beautiful and sexy.  Also, I would love to see either Hermione in danger.... a rogue deatheater? To make Severus realize how much he needs her or have Hermione actually resist Severus and he being on the receiving end finally feels what jealousy is like. I don't usually like pregnancy fics but it would be nice inclusion too

“Severus!” she cried once more. “Your penis is on fire!” WOW!!! I nearly dropped my laptop reading that.

Is this the same as Hermione's bluebell fire that didn't hart or real flames. Hermione ate half the chocolate to, so is she going th have a same responce as Snape or the oppoisite( fire and ice).

Please can you clear up the question of underage sex, I can't think that Severus would be involved in this after working in a school for so long.

Still love the story and can't wait to find out what happend next, please make it soon

Oh my god, I'm so glad you're back!! I've been waiting for this for so long! I didn't realize exactly how long until you said in your last chapter but I've been checking in and hoping to see new chapters the whole time. Welcome back! Thanks so much for coming back to this story, I just love how it's developed and it seems like you never left. These new chapters are so good and I'm excited that the convention is finally within sight. I can't wait to see what you come up with next :D

I finally found some time to make an email with my penname, can you please add me to your mailing list?

Yay! I’ve loved reading this and really can’t wait for the next instalment! While in reader view you can’t review as you go, but I did squee at a few lovely turns of phrase as I flew past and can only remember one now: “the door opened with a gasp of steam” argh so awesome :) would love to read some of the story from Severus’ POV.. hint hint

I’m seriously late to this party .... but this is incredible. Absolutely love it. Please add me to your mailing list! I would KILL for you to have this on your FFN account.

Ugh! That freakin Nigel letter! I yelled at her not to pick it up—“Don’t do it, girl. That letter’s nothing but trouble.”—but she didn’t listen to me. (Fictional character never do :)) A sense of dread came over me as soon as she touched it, and the longer that thing remains unmentioned, the larger my dread grows. I hope Severus saw it in her head and understands why she did it, but sneaking around behind his back like that might put a dent in his already precarious trust. (As a side note, I would have read the hell out of that letter. But then I would have put it right back on the table no matter what it said, and I probably would have been so riddled by guilt that I would’ve confessed as soon as Severus walked in the door. I have a conscience, but likes to enable my sneaky side before taking over.)

And *gasp* Severus slept in her bed without her knowing. *Sneaky eyebrow waggle* He makes such telling choices when left to his own devices. Be still my fluffy heart :)

I’m so looking forward to the expo show. I can’t wait to see how Hermione handles everything (and how Severus helps her get through it). The description of the posters was great, and I loved the masks.

George walking in on their kiss might have been my favorite moment this chapter. It had a great layering of emotions (kind of funny, hot, romantic, poignant). It actually changes their dynamic quite a bit, as now someone knows about them. (And Severus didn’t seem TOO bothered about being caught.) Lots for them to talk about when they finally get around to discussing that Legillimencing (yes, that’s what I’m calling it from now on).

Under all the drama and emotion, Hermione seems to be building to some kind of magical climax. She had that magical emission from her fingertips during the panic attack, and she’s had other little “magical outbursts” throughout the chapters. You mentioned something about her peak of sexual tolerance, and I can’t remember far enough back to figure out what’s going. (But I’m sure I’ll figure it out as the story moves on.) I hope she doesn’t work herself up to some kind of explosion. (Okay, I lied. If it makes for good story, bring on the explosion.)

Favorite bits:

“She was jostled about and then pulled firmly back against his body, her back braced into his torso, as he draped one arm and one heavy leg over her figure. “Be still,” he yawned.”—I looooove this so much. It’s funny, but it also makes me want to say “awwww.” And then cream myself. Perfection :)

“... the sound of a yawn crawling out of Severus Snape’s mouth, but it was not an unpleasant sound”—I like this for literary reasons. Crawling was such a delicious word choice.

These three all made me laugh, so I like to mention them (but I don’t know what to say about them other than Hahahahaha!:

“So, you twat, do you want to come in and have a cuppa ...”

“Nobody’s home,” he mumbled.

Leave your tarty witch and run away with me.

And of course, you closed with “Your penis is on fire!” Which is wonderful for both the mental image and the cliffhanger. But you know that means I need more. How will she put out that fire? (I hope her pussy has adequate hydration. Or her mouth. Or her ass. I’m easy audience that way :))

Again, thank you for the story, and it’s so lovely having you back <3 <3 <3

Another chapter, so soon! WOW! You are either dormant or prolific (I like and fully support the later), no complaints here :D

Last time I left a review,  I didn't mention the part I really, really liked in the previous chapter. Nigel's attitude towards Severus's proclivities. and I want to  THANK YOU  for addressing that issue, making it visible without turning it in the crusade. It clearly points toward the ordeal bisexual people face not only from hetero but also from those of homosexual orientation (One of the reason's I can't stand Nigel). I also like how you went deeper and in Severus's reaction bared the emotional state - one of such orientation can have emotions for either gender in equal measure (without making a difference).
I'm sure that I read that chapter much differently than most of the readers, and that is why I kept my review short (you won't be so lucky this time ;) ).

And now, onto the last chapter.

I LOVE it! 

Even if I don't like Nigel (and I can't emphasize how much) I can't condone what she did with the note! Why not just leaving it on the table for Sev to find it? I have a feeling that her actions with the note will be a ticking bomb (or possibly atomic one) in the future that will detonate her and Sev's relationship. 

I also like addressing of another "today" issue - presentation of the female body in media (including advertisement). You masterfully pointed out the distorted imposed image and common female reaction to it -  insecurity. And again, without turning it into a crusade (crusades usually just cause a ruckus without allowing the realisation of the issue to sink in - not as productive as your method is). 

I also like how you called to the surface with what Severus has to deal (issue with the mask). I'm sure he has just as many problems with that as Hermione with her public performance, only his reactions are different. I won't say better or milder, but more...controlled (not good for his state of mind tho).

And that kiss! Bloody hell! Why is it every time you describe them kissing it feels like they kiss for the first time?

Now I can't wait to see what the chocolates do! and how she's going to "put out the fire" literally! 
(Yes, yes - this is a cry for a new chapter! )

Oh  my GOODNESS!  I laughed so hard when I saw a slew of people I know and love were also thrilled to see this story return!  I only wish there was some kind of notification feature on this site.  Or IS there, and I am too gormless to find it?

That letter of Nigel's is going to bite Hermione right in the snoot.  Yep.  I can sense it!   And shoot, why doesn't everyone WANT to share Severus, the MOST difficult man in the world?   Poor little Nigel.  

mmmmchocolate!!  

Thrilled to see this fic has been updated again! I almost began to lose hope ;-;

I was really hoping this ' “You were fifteen... How do you think that would have looked? Finding you living here? Doing what we were doing? They could have had me put away! Charged with abuse of a minor, with statutory rape! " would be addressed in this new chapter 'cause out of everything Severus being a potential pedophile has me reeling with too many questions. How did he even meet a fifteen year old boy? Was Nigel the only underage person he's been sexual with or have there been others? Did he purposely /target/ somebody young and naive like Nigel? Did Nigel lie about his age? I need answers!

Great chapter, very sexy. I look forward to reading more. You should create a day dream chocolate. 

Fantastic chapter, glad your back. I sort of forgot about this story. I look forward to reading more.
