I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.

Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.

Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

You did an excelent job with this chapter. It gave us all the things we needed and more to move on with story. How sad for all the familys. Kingsley,s thoughts where heartbreaking. Looking forward to your next chapter

I may have misread, but if the kids are all dead there is no need for all 7 classes is there? since only new firsties would come to Hogwarts the next year.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

No, there were Slytherins who refused to fight and left the castle, they will be back and cause trouble. Also, only the sixth and seventh years fought and not all of the sixth years.Thanks for reviewing,Livvy

How sad! I think you've done a good job in imagining what Kingsley must be thinking and doing, and in describing a tragedy, the scale of which most of us have never been exposed to. Excellwent chapter.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

Thank you very much! I knew for this story to really have credibility, there needed to be some explanation as to how the Ministry would deal with so many deaths.Livvy

Wow! What a great start. I am eager to see what happens next. I wonder if you are going to address the rebuilding of the wizarding community as well as Hogwarts.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

Not the community, there is enough intrigue and drama going on with Hogwarts. Although what happens at Hogwarts will bring the eyes of the community upon Seveurs and Hermione!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy

A really inventive premise so it will be very a very different 'world' and story to others that have gone before it - especially canon. I can hardly! wait :-) Just interested - Why didn't Kingsley fight?Great to hear that it is finished overall and the next chapter is in the queue. Thanks muchly.

Cheers.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

I mentioned the reason in the chapter, but maybe I didn't make it clear enough. He was ordered by the Order to stand down since they wanted him to be the next Minister of Magic. They didn't want to risk him getting killed.I hope you like the way the story unfolds!Thanks for reviewing,Livvy

Response from reets67 (Reviewer)

OOPS! I should have read more carefully! But it also was a highly logical request too.

What a powerful start to a what seems to be another great story by you. I could feel the emotions of Severus, Hermione, Poppy and Kingsley, The aftermat will be so hard for all of them to deal with. i look forward to the next chapter with great antisapation

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

Thank you! The next chapter will not have a lot of dialogue since there is so much to "set up" with the plot, but after that chapter, things get rolling right along. I also worked very hard on a chapter with a scene with Snape and Hermione alone and they are hit suddenly with the magnitude of the loss. They have a very tender moment and it took ages for me to get it right!:)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy

I've been avoiding your work in progress, after getting caught up in too many continuing tales. But I was suckered into reading this first chapter and will probalby keep reading as fast as you write 'em. good beginning, and a plausible AU.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)

Thanks for reviewing! Just so you know, this story is finished. I'll be posting regulary. I can't stand it and I don't understand how people can abandon their stories. It would drive me nuts not finishing a fic!Livvy
