I am really entranced with this story. From Hermione\'s weary explanation of the difference between Arithmantic predictions and Divination (I have had to clear up similar misconceptions about accounting and finance being the same thing, but that\'s a different story) to her \"to thine own self be true\" attitude to Severus\'s logical but not dispassionate response to her situation, your characterizations fit neatly in what we know or could easily postulate of their canonical personalities.

Huh?

Translation -- Your Hermione and Severus are talking and acting the way I would expect them to, given the facts of the story. Good job, especially since the plot is an interesting take on the wizarding world that I don\'t feel like I\'ve read (and been guilty of writing) a thousand times before. It\'s a refreshing, well executed start!

Very interesting premise, though admittedly a somewhat sad one. I am very curious to find out why Hermione felt the need to make the break so complete as to give up her wand. Having Snape not able to fathom Hermione\'s clearing out her Gringotts account and leaving the magic realm despite his intellegence was a nice touch.

Ahhhh, great story. I love your stuff! I can\'t wait to find out what her plan is to help reverse this process or at least help contian the problem. I have a feeling she has found herself an ally though. Please update us soon.

Interesting-- I am looking forward to seeing what Hermione is planning to do. She means to rescue the Wizarding world, doesn\'t she? and make a glorious mess with Luna\'s help while she\'s at it? Nice bravado from her. She still has her integrity, it sounds like, and once she\'s decidded to keep hold of that, there is nothing lto lto lose.
I like Snas chs characterization: he is acerbic, but not over the top nasty.

Oh, I like it! I read the first chapter you posted on your lj, and then I found you here! I\'m glad that there is the second chapter here as well, because I like it even more now that I\'ve read it. I like the way they both let their mouths go before realizing what was said (He inviting her to dinner, her telling him she feels sexy in her new outfit). It\'s funny, but serious at the same time.

I\'m wondering what is for dessert!

Or should I say who? hehe

Good plot! I love it when someone comes up with something different. I have a sneaky suspicion and I shouldn\'t put it down, but does Hermione come up with some type of marriage law?

I am so glad that you updated so . L. Love the fic.
You answered my questions from the last chapter... I think.
Shame on Ron and Harry. She stood by them for years, they should have backed her up. For God\'s sake, it\'s Hermione. As if Hermione would be wrong with her arithmancy findings. AS IF!
How will Severus do in muggle London? And what did he hope he would have time for with Hermione? (I really can guess that one.)
Cheers dearie!
