Er, Lavender, not Pansy. Sorry for the mis-type. *^^*

^_^ mmhhh.... I hope Ron is cheating on Hermione... That way she will have an excuse to leave him.

So, you\'ve tipped your hand....Thank You! I guess I know who Lavender is sleepig with....nice way to tie the whole story together. I promise no telling to the reivewers....;) But , thankyou, thank you, thank you.

Want more NOW! (lots of pretty pleases too ;) )

Oh!!! PLEASE update soon! I am so ready for another chapter. I love this story. it is awesome! I have neglected working on my own for the last two days, cause I was too busy hanging on every word of yours!!!!

finally! just kidding. actually i was wondering about this fic just yesterday and was hoping nothing had happened to you. but it\'s your beta and that just as bad. i hope everything turns out ok. as for the chapter, i love the whole hermione and severus getting off together, thinking baout each other and not even realizing it! just makes it all the more sexy. so a belly dancing ginny? i can honestly say that it not what i was expecting when ginny said \"can i tell you a secret?\" kinda funny though if you think about it. anywho, good chapter! can\'t wait to see the next!
much love!

I love the way this fic doesn\'t seem to lose the plot no matter how long it gets. The characters are elaborate and their interactions natural. Only the title bothers me as I would hate to see it all end in misery. These people deserve some happiness! But it is your story, and so far it has been excellent, so if you are really set on an unhappy ending I guess I shouldn\'t complain since a well written unhappy ending is always better than a crappy happy ending. I trust you to know what is best.

The bit about \'gingerbread detailed Finnish saunas\' in this chapter was somewhat disturbing since I have yet to see a sauna in gingerbread detail despite all of the nineteen years that I have lived in Finland. Huge communal saunas, chimneyless saunas, sauna tents, small log saunas by the lake and even saunas built in old cars, but no gingerbread details. Well, I\'m sure there are those as well and some people even like them, but most would consider them tacky, tasteless and unfitting to the Finnish culture. Mostly everyone goes for the simple style nearing ascetic. Althoug I have to admit that Finnish saunas outside of Finland tend to have most curious things dubbed as \'Finnish\' (I hear somewhere they even had wallpapers and sofas (*shudders*)), so in a British wizarding spa your description might not be so far off the mark :D And anyway, I\'m sure every other country in the wold has the same problems as well, and if the gingerbread style does it in the wizarding world, then why not? Just wanted to let you know, even if you are not interested in the least. :)

But yes, a great story, so I hope you\'ll update soon!

Great story, great chapter. More soon please.

Am enjoying this very much! Also entertaining suspitions that that \'friend\' Ron stayed with during their Arguement means he\'s cheating on Hermione, when she\'s been so valiently trying not to - looking forward to the bitch-slapping from both girls if that\'s the case.

On a side note, re: the counsellor\'s address, while it is pronounced \'Redding\' it\'s actually spelt \'Reading\' - this is of course assuming you\'re referring to the city about an hour north of London, and not a suburb I\'ve never heard of.

looking forward to more!

Y\'know, I just know that this story is going to end well. The tension is being drawn out beautifully in each chapter.

However, wouldn\'t it be amusing if there was a \"blooper reel\" when it was all over, where we saw an alternate version of Snape & Hermione\'s eventual sex scene, where everything went wrong?

Okay, maybe I\'m just a morbidly-curious wacko. I don\'t know. But _I_ think it would be amusing.

Keep up the excellent work. If you need another (or a fill-in) grammatical/usage beta, drop me a line.
