Dear Ms. Grey:

I have read all of your stories on FF and AFF and have enjoyed them all. I find the suggestion of a relationship between Hermine and Snape quite interesting.

I have to admit, in this story, I was very much looking forward to more suggestive interactions between the two characters. I know it\'s rated R. I guess I am just used to your X rated stories.

I liked it that you had the listing of words/phrases and their definitions. I would have found it more helpful if the listings were at the beginning of the chapter, rather than at the end. Did you feel it would detract from the chapter that way?

Anyway, I very much look forward to reading the rest of this story, whatever the rating.

Thank you.

Oh, lovely, lovely, especially how Hermione\'s so literary. Now she\'s starting to remind me of Jo from Little Women - one of my favourite heroines, so that\'s definitely a compliment. If only Snape hadn\'t believed the lie about the affair, she wouldn\'t have had to start feeling bad about the intelligence, he was so fond of at first. Stupid, jealous man.

As usual, a wonderful piece of work.

OH, this chapter was just as wonderful as the last! I was finding it hard to understand how Severus could believe that someone like Hermione would ever look twice at someone like Lucius, but now it makes more sense. Perhaps if she\'d been more forthcoming about her correspondents, Severus wouldn\'t have believed Lucius\' lies.

Great story, thanks for writing!

Only just discovered this fic today. Two of my favorite guilty pleasures combined! Have you considered writing historical romances?

I love how they met! You write a very touching tale of the sickroom, Hermione\'s ministrations and Severus\' longing for more (even if he never *really* admits this).

Thanks for writing!

I still love this - sorry you lost some readers but I have enjoyed each chapter, cant and all. I\'m even learning things (sauerkraut juice? yuck!) as I read. At this point I
don\'t care if it ever returns to the HP universe!

Much more of this and I\'ll have to go back and read some contemporary fiction -

Ah, how they met - not at all what I was expecting. I\'d imagined they\'d be introduced at a dance or similar, not this, which is much better, really. Hopefully we\'ll learn more of their past, yes? Yet another smashing chapter.

Yet another delicious chapter. Very much looking forward to learn just how Mrs. Snape met her husband.

This is a wonderful story. Wow, a discertation on 18th century lit! I haven\'t thought of what I might do for a PhD. I have been thinking that if I get my last 3 semesters of foreign language done before I finish my BA and need to apply for graduate school that I would do my thesis on the voice of children in literature. Please keep writing!
