Thank you, thank you, thank you! Such an awesome chapter! Love the banter in the letters - breakfast, indeed! Things are really heating up now, being attacked as soon as he walks in the door, good move! When will they finally get to it? Hopefully soon!

oh for bloody ***** sake! I know, I KNOW I like a gentle pace, and I know I'm going to be grateful for that when we get there, but right now I don't know if I want to kill you guys or Mrs carmichael more. Whimpering...

I swear I drooled over every word, like always. Sigh. How much better could this get? The insecurities, the questions -- simon in particular was hysterical. And then we got the nosy neighbor. Bugger times two.

Two uber small things. Idle curiousity instead of idol. And this isn't a big thing but scones in the uk are served (usually) in the afternoon (although could be for morning tea too, but not breakfast). Breakfast more like toast, crumpets (yummy, hot and dripping with butter and honey) or english style muffins, or even a croissant if one is organized.

And now I realize I didn't review the previous chapter. *gasp*. There has been that hint of 'badness awaits' subtext here and ther but the end of this one had quite a nudge, or was I reading too much into it? I like asking asinine questions coz here of aff it's like one's talking to ones self. Kinda amusing. And nice cheeses, preferably with a good dessert wine is wonderful. had that last night myself, accompanied by sliced apple and dried muscatel grapes. And strangely, hermione's breakfast habits are still floating in my head. What do you think she does during the week? Is she a skipper (coffee on the way to work type girl)? Or is she a sensible eating a bowl of bran-type stuff to stay 'healthy' (ie, or eat the box which might be just a palatable.) Or a couple of bits of toast chewed while dressing? Morning with simon will be special, but otherwise?????? Now I feel like bloody simon writing letters. Will stop now. Promise.

damn nosy neighbours and there farine grappling ways. I do hope that we don't have to start the next chapter with a letter, unless it is one that Snape is writing on the skin of Hermione's tummy with his lips.

I loved the whole scene with the unromantic purchase of flowers and the confusion wrought on Hermione because of it .

As usual great job.

I love the way this story is turning out. I was a bit nervous how the relationship would change after they met in person, but as it turns out, not that much. I love that he still pulls the teacher card on her and the way they keep talking themselves through their nerves. Thanks for regular updates; I can
