*Sighhhhhhh* Oh, now that\'s just tooo sweet. I love the way how you\'ve portrayed their feelings in such a delicate, toned down manner, definitely realistic and all the more endearing. Sometimes the best relationships are the ones that develop the slowest, and certainly the most unexpected way. Kinda reminds me of my first fling :D This is a rehinghing perspective amid all the \"Marriage\" fics out there, and you\'ve definitely got me hooked. Thank you for the wonderful story, and I can\'t wait for the next chapter!

This is a lovely story. I\'m greatly enjoying the characterizations of Hermione and Severus, as well as the secondary characters. I suppose what strikes a chord with me the most are the situaitons and shared dialogue between Severus and Hermione. I\'ve only just begun a relationship myself ... my first in fact, and the way you\'ve written the progression and the shyness, as well as the growing understanding and mutual friendship they share, creates a mosaic of tender emotios - in this sense, it feels real to me. I look forward to reading more.

Wonderful story!!! I can\'t wait for the next chapter. You have Hermione down very well and the way she acts after the...um... \"first time\"...is very good. I think any young and innocent girl would act like that. Please hurry and update. I like cuddly Sev and want to read more!!! :-D

You make the most innocent things so hot. My monitor will probably blow up when they really get down to it. Great chapter.

Fabulous. Beautifully understated and all the more sensual for it.

That was romantic! I love the pace that you are setting for them and the romance that is slowly blooming between them! I can\'t wait for the next update! Will Hermione ever tell her parents about Severus? She really needs to!

I\'d just like to say a few words about Severus in this fic. I hope that my portrayal of him is coming out believable, because I don\'t have his POV in this story. Deep down, I don\'t think he is entirely nasty, the latest chapter comments on this. I don\'t see him as one who can easily confront his emotions, but he won\'t run away from them either. As for Hermione, in canon she often sees things a straight forward and logical. She may not have the same demons as Severus, but she has as much difficulty with her emotions. As for what she tells her parents... it is so easy for one little lie to compounselfself like a snowball rolling down a hill. When she didn\'t tell her parents about small things in her first year, it became all the more difficult for her to confront them later. Sometimes bravery and the desire to share her secrets aren\'t enough to actually do so. Have no fear... she will have to deal with it eventually. I\'m so glad people are reading and enjoying this story. I hope you continue to do so. I love reviews. They really let me see what everyone is tg awg away from each chapter. I would like to state that a couple of these chapters are not entirely what I expected them to be! At one point Draco Malfoy accosted my computer and had his way with it and just last chapter, Harry nearly did the same thing. These characters are hard to keep in line! Thanks again to everyone who reads rev reviews. This story is up over 11000 hits and I\'m thrilled.

That chapter was unbelievably beautiful. You\'ve captured the slow building of their relationship in the most wonderful way.

This chapter is so romatic!

I think I just go turn to mush now.

I am an avid follower of this story. I agree with other reviews that this is the best attempt at this challenge that i\'ve read. I think the slow approach to getting the two to know each other really works. It\'s all so well written as well. Thank you for a lovely romantic piece.
