Another brilliant chapter, Betz! I really liked the dinner w/ Severus, Draco, and Ginny. The conversation was wonderfully played out. Very anxious to see what happens next. *clicks her heels and says \"two more chapters, two more chapters, two more chapters\"* That drawing for ch 25 is absolutely amazing. ;-) I heard a rumor tonight that this story is slated to be in 3 parts and the first part will be longer than Succubus? ~Gin

I really enjoyed this chapter. The characterizations were excellent and the descriptions vivid. Sneaky, naughty Severus - I like the way he weeded out one more of his clients! And I\'m still wondering...just when is Hermione going to snap? ;-) Loved it, Betz! Keep up the good work.

Call it intuition. I have a feeling that if not a witch, a wizard perhaps? I just know Ron doesn\'t love her, Hermione is a means to an end. She is the girl that could help him create the same thing he had growing up. I have a couple of ideas but this is your baby.....

I am loving it though. Post something soon...I am most impatient. ;)

Great chapter! As to why I think Ron is cheating...call it a feeling. For some reason I was reminding of a line Shiv wrote --Ron \"crap shag\" Weasley. Always makes me laugh. And if Mrs Nettleton screams like a distressed bunny, I am pretty sure Ron sounds like a fireplace bellow or some equally annoying breathing-thing. LOL.

I was surprised at what Lavender was holding in. I am curious as to more of her motives. Still loving the Draco/Snape interaction. They work well together and you have them still very much in character. Even though Draco is a bit nicer than normal, I chalk that up to him growing up! Thanks for the update!

Delighted to find an update today. Loved Hermione\'s dream. Her subconscious obviously knows who Severus is. Haha - \"purple troll\'s club\", indeed. I enjoyed the \"language of flowers\" stuff and the culinary debate. I\'m concerned that Ginny will be determined not to see HG/RW\'s marriage fail - Ron\'s her blood relative. I expect that, in the final analysis, Ginny would rather H stay in the marriage and be unhappy than leave Ron and embarrass her family in that way.

Another brilliant chapter. I had to download the cottontail distress call and re-read, it brought tears to my eyes it was so funny. Keep up the good work and MORE MORE MORE :D I can\'t wait for the next Thursday rendezvous.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! how could you?!?! well, at least you did as i asked and no \"make up\". this was good though. i love the way snape got rid of his friday night client. that was cool. now, hermione really needs to tell ginny about calleo. i think ginny will be able to help her. but maybe not until after snape reveals himself? hmm. oh yeah, the note that lavendar composed is great! snape should send something like that. lol! anyways, great job this chapter. i can\'t wait to see another

much love

This is so well written. Chapter 22 gave us quite a bit more insight. Is Ron cheating or did he cheat on Hermione? Saying he stayed with a friend is vague. LOL. I did crack up at Severus likening Mrs. Nettleton to a screaming rabbit. I have heard them in my yard and that sound is NOT pretty. Thank you for the quick updates and the thorough checking by your betas. You are all doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to chapter 23.

One the best stories I\'ve read! I love it how it\'s not a lovey-dovey smut fic, and it deals with some real relationship issues. I went through a similar situation as your Hermione & Ron, and it wasn\'t pretty...nothing in common, no spark, not a whole lot of effort.....

Though I absolutely HATE the ministry for how they\'re treating Sverus and Draco, I think it would be good if you gave them their just deserts at the end or something.

Anyway, keep up the great work, and hope you update soon.
