Yay! Oh happy day! (pause for a little dance of joy)

I hope you feel better, but in any case you needn\'t feel obligated to update daily. The weight of all our expectations shouldn\'t bear you down, and you can remind anyone who bugs you that you\'re writing for free, nya-nya-nee-booboo. You\'re good. We\'ll wait.

And this was worth the wait, too. I\'m glad that Hermione figured it out herself -- and from the poetry no less (boy that line was apt). But it\'s iculicularly nice that she che che che conclusion in front of McGonagall, who\'s the only person in a position to talk about it. (Ron would, but I guess he really can\'t, right?) \"Hermione decided that drinking any more tea today might be fatal\" is my favorite zinger of the chapter.

Stay well.

Snape, Minerva, and Hermione are each fairly cat-like, in their own ways, aren\'t they?

I do so hope that you feel better soon!!!

Chapter 16... What a WONDERFUL chapter!!! I really LOVE how you are writing Minerva in your story!!! She is a bit sneeky, but a true romantic at heart!!! I am so glad that she finally decided to talk to Hermione about Severus!!! Hermione is young, but very mature & knows her limits as well as her feelings!!! She does love him & is willing to see how things go...YES!!! I can\'t wait to see how Severus reacts to this news!!! Til chapter 17, Deb >^..^<
P.S., That note from Severus was BEAUTIFUL!!!

I\'m sorry to hear about the winter illnesses. The flu has been something awful here too, and I hope you feel better. Thanks for managing a chapter through the ickiness...the next interaction between Severus and Hermione promises to be rather interesting. Tschus.

I\'ve been checking this site everyday waiting for your next update. I\'m sorry you\'ve been so under the weather. Take care of your asthma and, as my husband is always telling his asthmatic sister, stay away from sodas. Feel better.

Lovely as usual. I am consistently overjoyed with the way you handle the characters. A lesser writer might have had Hermione start swooning with joy, ready to jump into her Professor\'s arms immediately. Probably canon Hermione would act as your Hermione has -- \'these are my feelings, but I need time to think them through.\'

Loving this story. Really. And I understand all too well what hell asthma can be, so take care of you. We\'ll all be here waiting patiently when you\'re feeling better.

YOU ARE BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

I love this story so much, its almost sad that it will end.

I love the idea of the ranking between the cats.

i hope we see more of snape and hermione as cats, maybe he could be her \"teac" as" as both cat and human.

there is so much about this fic that i love, but dont have the words to explain it.


I HOPE YOU GET BETTER SOON!!!

Coo ... powerful stuff ... mind, I know when I get this carried away by a fic that I\'m tired and it\'s time for bed! ;)

Interesting chapter (hrm, review is for Chap 26. These continuous reviews are irritating). The garden analogy is really rather good. I hope Hermione gets to find out soon that Ron is also \"on side\".

But I don\'t want to find out *too* soon, young lady, because you need to get yourself better! Bed! Now! On your own, or at most with a living hot-water-bottle! ;)
