Chapter 7. I loved the trip to the boutique :))) I wish all men were like Severus in your story. So many don't understand, that need of toys doesn't reflect on them, it's not meant to be an insult to a lover. It's just additional source of pleasure, which can be used together. Hermione is really unwell if she can't think of 3 good things about herself. I wasn't that bad even during my darkest moments of depression. Also I was very sad to learn about Barnabas, I do hope that bastard owner pays for that. Fox xx

Chapter 8. My Oracle, just as I thought, he's terrified of letting her in, letting her to take over...but I'm sure they'll be just fine, in the end. AND I loved the whipped cream -my favorite game too! It's been a long time since I enjoyed it...mmm...must find a new victim ;-) Fox! xx

Chapter 9. I don't like thinking of Severus as a murderer, at all. I really like him supporting her emotionally all the time too. It's good he's going with her to Australia, she will need him a lot. Sex was wonderful, 101 positions...Severus is so lickable :-) Fox xx

Dear Oracle, Chapter 3. Very loooong, very emotional. Poor Hermione, I understand guilt (not on her level, luckily) and I know how hard I need to work sometimes to distract myself from it. You seem to have a perfect understanding of human psychology. I wonder if it's personal or professional experience or just perceptiveness on your part. Either way you are brilliant. Sex was obviously great, as usual with your stories. It's amazing to see Hermione so different from Hermione in TMG. Here she is more mature, experienced and seriously troubled. It really shows. And Severus mellowed! He's less legilimens more insightful this time. I like it. Thank you Fox xx P.S. I'm sure you are aware, but JKR is a genius and the way she created all characters, including Severus, with such detail is astounding. If you are interested in astrology, Severus's birthday is on 9th January and according to 'The Secret Language Of Birthdays' (Personology Profiles For Each Day Of The Year by Gary Goldschneider & Joost Elffers) it is The Day Of Ambition. His strengths: resilient, purposeful and resourceful; weaknesses: controlling, inflexible and stressed. To top it all of he's ruled by powerful and magical number 9 and planet Mars with influence of Saturn -which means forceful and aggressive with seriousness of purpose and manipulative tendencies. AND his tarot card is Hermit which symbolises isolation and quietude + wisdom and ultimate discipline. See? And your stories convey all that too :) By the way, I fell asleep at the end of the chapter, so review is slightly delayed. I think I was exhausted just like them. xx

Chaper 4. I want more! Love how attentive and concerned he is. It's nice to see the change in him and openness to new arrangement and emotions... Need to read more. Till later. Fox xx

Chapter 5. She needs him more than I thought and she's lucky he is there for her (like he wouldn't:)) He needs her just as much. I liked the kiss a lot, it was so sweet and soft. Severus & Hermione both need love and someone to take care of them; both in a slightly different way, but they are so perfect together. It would be sad to see her to roll into obsessive behavior even more, if he hadn't appear in her life to stop it. Still if feels they are more equal than in TMG. Thank you Fox xx

Chapter 6. I really like the letters, I wish I had someone, who would write me like that. In fact I'm Slytherin green from jealousy (please keep that just between me and you, no need for others to know) Hermione polyjuiced as a man wanking in a bathroom! Ha! God knows how many times I was wishing I could do just that. If I had polyjuice I would. Does that make me pervy? Fine. I'm a perv and proud! An I wish Severus could tell Minerva who's the witch he's seeing. I would love to watch her fell of her chair at the high table ;-) I feel this Severus is quite insecure. First about his looks and now about not deserving happiness. It's sad. It looks as if he tries to be snarky to everyone on purpose, so nobody wants to get too close. And in return he will never be rejected or betrayed. There is some miserable logic behind that, but he's not protecting his heart that way. His hurting it even more, because hearts are made for love. Spear to you soon. Fox xx

Dear Oracle, First chapter. Very exciting. I really like your idea about an ad in a paper to find a disciplinarian ;-) I occasionally read ads in papers, some of them are quite obscene, but never as interesting as Hermione's was. I loved the ball -how thrilling and also very, very clever. They had a chance to try each other out, before revealing their identities and put each other off. I honestly can't wait to read more of this story. I'm just stopping for a moment to leave review -you so deserve it. Will write more soon. Thank you Fox P.S. Have you missed me?

Chapter 2. I love the letters. Apart from the fact, that they are getting to know each other through them, letters hold a very special place in my heart. They are so personal and intimate (in comparison with emails or texts). They have an old fashion charm. Fox :)

I freely admit it - I love the fluff. Truly, this is one of the reasons I like this story and TMG so much. And fo course the HEA was expected and delivered very well (thank you for that).

On the downside the whole Severus-thinks-Hermione-is-with-Draco part was bit of a stretch. Don't get me wrong I love the whole misery-Snape and unsure-of-himself-Snape and thinking-he's-not-good-enough-Snape vibe that was going on there - but it seemed like he was jumping to conclusions from too little evidence. Maybe I would have had him doubt - but only go truly crazy-miserable after the second time he saw her with Draco. Don't know really but that part felt a little too much for me.

I did like the part of Australia. The whole way you describe Hermiones heartbreak at seeing her parents from afar was really well written. I could truly understand her grief.
Another favorite moment was in the beginning when Snape makes Hermione stop blaming herself for surviving the war. It also felt realistic and believable.

Thank you for giving us the presents of your writing.
