I can so see Minerva acting "the Snape" when she gives Harry a stern mind-your-own-business-look...
I also liked that you actually mentioned the age difference, that Minerva really is a youngster compared to Albus. She is just NOT old by wizarding world standarts - it's nice that you made Albus acknowledge that fact.
Author's Response: IBeing a 'dirty old man' would be no fun at all if he didn't have a younger woman! Thank goodness for the Lexicon...and for reviewers like you. Thanks!
I love this fic! You've captured the essence of both characters perfectly! Which, in my opinion, is rarely done in fanfic. Your portrayal of Dumbledore is particularly endearing; you've managed to encapsulate his sensitivity, humor, caring, and grace into a small story.
And don't worry, I will have very good dreams tonight! And would you consider writing a sequel? Please?
Author's Response: Don't tell anyone...but I am actually a portrait on his wall and overheard the whole conversation! (I wish) Thank you so very much for reading, and I am thrilled that you thought I did a good enough job to leave such a welcome review. ;-)
Wow.... Minnie seemed a bit like Hermione when she's nervous. Or how I've always guessed. I wonder what Harry really did think. The Snape thing that Minnie did to Harry. I was laughing out loud, that was so funny.
Author's Response: I have the feeling that our Boy-Who-Lived-With-His-Head-In-The-Sand (or another anatomically impossible place) would NEVER have considered the possibility. Poor Minnie worked herself into a dither all by herself. Glad you liked the 'Snape'. Thank you so very much!
uhmmmm..... yuk?
Author's Response: uhmmmm....thanks?
omg this story is brilliant =] LOVE IT
Author's Response: What a delightful Christmas gift! Thank you soooo much!
Oh! "A friend, a pet and a lover..." That's priceless!!! (I'm still laughing heartily :))) Thank you for such a good fun!
Author's Response: Great! Another person with a weird sense of humor like mine! Yes, yes...we may be strange, but we DO have fun. I am so glad you enjoyed it and thank you for taking the time to tell me so!
wat is wrong with u that u had to make this horror?wat i ask WAT?
Author's Response: Well, it does take a certain level of maturity and sophistication to appreciate the humor of this piece. From the 'net-speak', I'd guess you'll enjoy it more in a few years.
I really liked it, its well written and actually quite a sweet pairing, its nice that they have someone! There are far worse pairings....I almost read a Dumbledore/Snape once before I lost my dinner. *shudder*
Author's Response: Oh yuckie poo...AD/SS...ick! I almost read a Snape/ Minerva fic! I informed them in no uncertain terms that Dame Maggie did NOT have nipp...nevermind! So glad you could see a long-term relationship here without the 'squick' factor. Thank you so very much!
When I saw the words "Albus and Minerva". I was rather shocked and I wondered how you'd carry it off. But you carried it off perfectly with subtle Albus humor. Loved it!
Author's Response: Well, after the last review, I must say that your gracious comments meant a lot to me. Thank you so much for taking this as it was intended...affectionate light banter between two (consenting) adults. Thank you so very much!

YES!! A very, very good job and a very wonderful ADMM fic. I wasn't grossed out in the least--in fact, I was quite tickled by their conversation. It was very interesting and amusing, and kept my interest. Kudos to you for this wonderful story!
Author's Response: Thank you so very much! I loved writing their snarky, teasing conversation. Too many 'youngins' can't get over the 'old folk still have urges' idea. I am so glad you liked it!
This was a really sweet story. I enjoyed reading it.
Author's Response: That was a really sweet review! Really, it thrills me pink when someone reads and enjoys what I wrote. Thank you so much for taking the time to make my day!
Delightful! The characters are so wonderfully in-character. And the idea of Minerva doing "a Snape" and Albus envying her ability to do so --- priceless!
Author's Response: Thank you so much. That mens a lot coming from someone of your calibre! Yea, I can just see ole Dumbledore getting sidetracked pondering eyebrows.
I can honestly say that I love this. Wonderful.
Author's Response: Oh, that makes me feel so warm and fuzzy all over. I just read a fic on another site where MM/AD had been married for 40 years. I really think they are a couple (in whatever fashion) and am happy for them. Thank you so very much for your compliment!
Odd couple but...i like the story all the while, good writing to.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!

it's a GREAT story but,.... kinda kreepy... maybe not nightmear kreepy but...yeah...good story tho!
Author's Response: Well, gee...I think I'll focus on the GREAT and kinda ignore the 'kreepy'! Thanks for the review!
HaHa... I like your story alot. It is very creative!
Author's Response: Aw, you are a luv! Thank you so very much!
I've known since I read SS that these two had something going! Great story! I got over wanting to lose my lunch ages ago. I always think it's very sweet and heartwarming when old people are in love!
Author's Response: Oh goody! A grown-up review. Yes, I really think JKR knew more about them than she let on. And, hey...this gives me hope for the future. ;-) Thank you so much!
