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.

Poor Hermione, she really needs to learn to talk to her husband. Nice chapter, good flow of ideas and action as well as a emotional display.

Hermione will get some good advice next chapter :)Thanks!

There's nothing sexier than when ones significant other is extolling your virtues without knowing you're listening. That should have been a turn on for Hermione. Wish Severus had gone for the angry sex she might loosen up.Nice update, can't wait for the girls night that should be good.

I love jealous people. It's so much fun before they confess their love to one another.

He-he! Yes, it is going to be quite fun to watch it all unfold!

Another great chapter. While Severus, and we the readers, knows that Severus would never cheat on Hermione, I do think he deserved that little ego-boost of having his young wife jelous. Girls nigth out, oh my, I look forward to read that chapter:-))

It's in the queue, should be up soon! Poor Hermione, she's really having a rough time of it all.

Hermione definitely has self-esteem issues that makes her extremely hostile in regards to members of the same sex. No doubt she feels threatened by them, even though those fears are completely unfounded. Severus loves her, and is very loyal. Betraying Hermione would never even cross his mind. I don't think Hermione has anything to worry about, unless there's an actual reason. I think she and Professor Holden will become good friends.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Much of what she feels is just that- her own insecurities and she's allowing them to run rampant. She'll get herself sorted out though- eventually ;)

His argument about Durmstrang and dark wizards has some validity. Although you would think the Headmaster would discuss the choices with his Deputy before making a decision.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Well, that would be understandable, but this Severus Snape, consummate Slytherin and master of the dark arts! He knows best and prefers to operate alone. But, he shall suffer for not heeding more to Hermione, he shall suffer!

Very Interesting chapter, how will they all work together. Hermione needs to get her act together soon or she will push Sev into the arms of another. I think all he wants is for Hermione to love him. Great chapter can't wait for the cats to play next

I really can't think of a Girls Night Out going well, actually. Poor Hermione. And Sev is being so smug.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Well, he'll be changing his tune before long. And honestly, he's just a bit big-headed with the ego boost knowing his pretty, young wife is jealous.

Now I'm just dying to know what's going to happen on the witch's night out! I like the pace and the energy of this story, Livvy!

Thanks! It's going to be full of all sorts of drama! And Rosie will be there!

Fabulous chapter, livvy! I love the jealous Hermione. And aparantly Hremione's "green-eyed monster" amuses Severus, too.Professor Domansk's attitude about the Deputy Headmistress has gotten him off to a bad start. It's not a good career move to piss off both Severus AND Hermione. I'm betting he will be eating a helping of humble pie before all is said and done.There are so many things that can go wrong with the "Girl's Night Out" — please tell me Hermione doesn't drink too much. She's never been one to hold her liquor very well. Oh Ho! This is going to be spectacularly riotus. And I can't wait!Well done, livvy. As magical as always.Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thanks, sorry to disappoint, but a part of the drama will come from Hermione having WAY too much to drink. It should be very eye-opening!
Response from braye27 (Reviewer)
No disappointment there for me. She makes a lovely drunk... and then her Gryffindor mouth kicks in and it's "Katy bar the door!" Really looking forward to it. I guess she comes all over with a hangover, too. But something tells me that it's going give Severus a hangover, as well.Teehee! Can't wait.

Yes, I would say Hermione is jealous alright. I have a feeling Severus will get it out of her why she is so, though I doubt he will understand why. Great chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Severus and Hermione will have a common ally to help them to understand the troubles going on. Next chapter will be enlightening

Umm, what couldn't go wrong LOL. Poor Hermione, she really does need a course in self-esteem. Great chapter as always!

Severus says that being Headmaster, Potions professor, & Head of Slytherin would be too much work.But, Hermione has to be Deputy Headmistress, Charms professor, & Head of Gryffindor, not to mention this being all new for her and that's not a problem to him.Granted, I realize that being Headmaster is more work than being Deputy Head, but still, it doesn't seem fair.He should not have laughed at her being jealous! My husband laughed at me for being afraid of something once ....
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, that was tactless. He's feeling rather stoked from knowing his young wife is jealous. Who's ever been jealous of him, before? His ego got a boost at her expense. Sometimes men can be so thick!He'll be eating crow over not heeding to Hermione's wishes. I know that's a bit cryptic but I thought you would appreciate that he would suffer!

This is so cool. I love it. But you do realise I am a Durmstrang alumni! Hee Hee! By the way, did Viktor Krum fight at that final battle? Having loads of fun with this one.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes he did and he bit it too, so no return of Victor Krum-sorry:) Glad you are having fun with this! It's going to get so much worse! *rubs hands evilly*

Oh, this is so, so good! "She was, in fact, pretty much everything that Hermione might have looked like if her body had done what she had wanted and had developed." Too funny!I don't understand this feeling of having to urinate that HG is experiencing. Odd.Prof. Holden seems proficient enough that she could be the Deputy Head and Hermione could then devote herself to Gryffindor. Definitely looking forward to the Durmstrang crew arriving.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
The peeing thing is a physiological reaction some women have during intercourse when on the verge of having a vaginal orgasm. Poor thing, like many of my old college mates, she thinks there is something "wrong" with her.Prf. Holden will be a real pain in Hermione's arse *shakes head* wish I could reveal more.Thanks!

Fantastic! Poor Hermione, I know how she feels and I hope Severus can bring her more out of her shell and make her realize that he only has eyes for her.

I came upon this after reading about it on Potter Place. I read the first chapters in one go so I didn't leave reviews for them (offers you a 
to apologize). I thought I was looking for this paticular chapter but after the note you left "That will be a problem as her jealousy spirals out-of-control." I think I will look forward to the next few chapters to come with great impatience. You've done a really good job since the beginning and I really enjoy the whole thing immensely.

Hermione has made progress! Yay! She still has a need to understand more about her own body and its responses during their lovemaking, but she will get there. Perhaps a little talk with Rosmerta and Rosie will help her to understand so she can relax and enjoy. Maybe Poppy could help her understand, as well.Severus clearly loves her, so I hope she will be able to talk to him soon about her feelings of inadequacy and inexperience. He tends to blame himself, and that's not the case to all. He is patient and tender; she is inexperienced and still carrying around the baggage of the bad advice that her mother gave her.Good job!!!Beth

I cannot figure out what the deal is with Hermione's bladder. If she feels she needs to void during sex, perhaps she should go before indulging. I can understand her feeling the ugly duckling around all those lovely swans of female teachers. Being insecure in herself will only make things worse and jealously can be ugly, too. Hermione has issues. Perhaps it is too soon after the war for her to try to live a "normal" life. She is young and has taken on a lot of responsibility. Severus has been a wonderful support for her. He has been loving, patient, complimentary and desirous of her and her alone. His eyes do not seem to stray to the other females and he seems to feel blessed to have Hermione for his wife.

I have heard from mant friendsof mine that when they feel their g-spot stimulated that they felt a stong urg to pee. It actually it is just a physiological response that it normal. THe place where a woman's g-spot is located is near the nerves that trigger the bladder. It is a false feeling, but Hermione doesn't know that. Many of my friends didn't, I know I didn't! But she will soon have some good heart-to-heart chats with a couple of experienced women who will sort her out. What you said about her youth and responsibilities is very true. She is only nineteen and hasn't had a real boyfriend ever. Then she misses her family and friends and is still grieving, it is a lot to handle to then place a new marriage and all the new feelings of desire, lust and the urge for sex on top of it. Then her husband happens to be so much older and someone that she had always been leery of and disliked for most of her life- it really is a lot of pressure!But she'll get herself sorted, I promise.
