But as for your story, I thought this was another great chapter. It’s a shame that Hermione is so stubborn, since even her counselor thinks these two should break up. Speaking of stubborn, it’s taken Snape long enough to admit his feelings to himself. Next chapter should be even more spectacular!

Oh, and a big thanks, hugs, and kisses to your betas!

Author's Response: Yes, I've been wondering that exact same thing. Why does Rowling feel the need to pair Hermione up with a verbally abusive boy? Perhpas there are certain aspects of her first husband or first boyfriend that she puts into Ron's character, but for the fact Ron bails on his friends when things get tough at times does not endear him to me. Yes, both Hermione and Snape are stubborn in their own way. But you have to cut each a break, as they are both alive by using this stubborn streak to survive.
