Awww...though the fable of the wind and the sun might apply to this situation, too.

May they have many happy seasons together!

(and may Harry and Ron finally grow up and stop leaning on Hermione).

As warm and heartening as the first rays of sun after relentless days of snowfall. I love the way you have elicited the fable and kept the characters so in-trait :) thanks for this fic, phoenix.

What a beautifully written and lyrical story. Your use of "From Winter and Spring" is both evocative, and deftly managed. I'm very impressed at how much story and emotion you pack into such a relatively short piece. Well done!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this!

I love the season metaphor!

One of the best stories of SSHG Promptfest of this last January. It’s a story very fun and well written in which the inspiration of Aesop’s fable is perfect to picture the characters of Severus and Hermione and the dynamic of their relationship. Thank you a lot for keeping alive this fandom with stories so good.

awww cute

What a story. I like it. Keep smiling. :-)

His sharpness is not malicious. He just has poor social skills. He learned to fake better skills for his spying, but they're a costume that he can only wear when he's being fake; when he puts off the espionage fakery, the social smoothness goes with it.

Aw... And thus Hermione's spring smile melted Severus' winter grumpiness. ;P

Loved this during the SSHG Promptfest and was happy to reread it again. Lovely story and great use of meladara's prompt!

This was so cute! :'D
