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.

Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

Thank you very much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.Thank you for reviewing!Livvy
Oh, training with Tonks seems like so much fun. That witch is a corker. Course, it helps that Hermione knew everything already! Good chapter!Oh, I'd love to see Hermione have a 'word' with Remus and knock some sense into him! *A smack upside the head* That's what he needs, some tlaking too.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! Hermione and Tonks will get closer as the war starts. She will be at one point the only person Hermione will be able to turn to for help. Thanks!Livvy
Oh wow! I'm glad the next chapter is up. I can't wait to find out what happens. Poor Hermione, it's awful that they are suspicious of her. And poor Severus.Excellent story!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! Yes, things are going to be rough for a while - again. But they will have times where they can sneak to be together.Thanks!Livvy
Hermione is right, Remus does need a swift kick in the pants. I'm enjoying all the relationships that are developing. The obvious is Remus and Tonks, but there is a bond of sisterhood developing between Tonks, Hermione and Molly.All in all, nice job.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! Tonks and Hermione will continue to be there for each other. But, yes, Remus needs a slap upside the head. He'll sort himself out :)Thanks!Livvy
Marvelous story! I can't wait to finish reading it!

i love this story, but it seems like forever in between updates.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I know! It takes around a week to get a chapter through the queue, and sometimes an extra day or two working with my beta if a chapter needs some tweaking. But, I'm glad you still love the fic!Thanks!Livvy
Yay for updates and Yay for being near Sev! Happy New Year Livvy! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! And a Happy New Year to you too! Yes, being near Hogwarts will make for some interesting diversions for our couple.Thanks!Livvy
I've just read the first 8 chapters of this. Your story is very well written. I like how you're developing your characters, as they all seem like real, imperfect people who all have strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what happens in JKR's books makes your story even more interesting, as you're doing an amazing job of tying it together and yet writing something original.Love your story so far and can't wait to read more.

Thank you!!! I appreciate your words. I try hard to make these characters as real as I can. I hope you continue to enjoy the direction I take them.Thanks!Livvy
I can't wait to see them reunited. I really don't think Severus is going to be happy with Hermione's job.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
You got that right. He is not going to be happy at all. Hermione will have to hold her own when it hits the fan.Thanks!Livvy
oh, oh, oh! All hope is not lost, she gets to be around Severus (well everyone once in a while) =D
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, they will be able to have a tryst once in a while :)Thanks!Livvy
Gawain Robards was pretty rough on Hermione at her interview, but she handled it well. She has been through so much I think it would take a lot more than the newly installed Head of the Auror Department to scare her. The best part for Hermione was that Tonks made her think about what she would do if she were to have to arrest Severus. The answer she gave Tonks made it clear that she would arrest him, but later when Tonks told her that they were being posted to Hogwarts, she teased Hermione that she might see Severus, "might get a good shag at the end of the day." I hope Hermione and Severus will be able to steal some time to be together. How hard it would be to be so close and not be able to see each other!
Tonks and Remus are going through a rough spot in their relationship, but I agree with Molly and Hermione that she should say something to him about sending those mixed signals. I hope the two of them will be able to move to a more intimate relationship. Somewhere, some how, Remus needs to get past his fear of allowing someone to love and care for him.
And last but not least, I'm looking forward to Hermione learning to fly a broom— proficiently. I'll bet she will have some hair raising moments, but I'm sure she will have her "big girl knickers" on.
Great chapter with lots going on!Beth

Thanks! Yes, I had to make the Aurors tough on the newbie :) Next chapter will be Severus' reaction to Hermione's new job *yikes*Thanks!Livvy
I'm really curious as to how you play out the next 4 years. The Hermione we see in the first chapter has quite a bit of life experience. I need to go back and check her age, but does this happen after Hogwarts?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Hermione would be around 22 during the first chapter. Her birthday is September and it was the end of the month, so she just had her 22 birthday. A lot of detail will go inot her remaining years, she will graduate in 1978 with the rest of her class. So, this accidential meeting with Snape in September of 1981 is after they have left Hogwarts and also have not seen each other for 3 years - Hermione goes into hiding in Muggle London as explained in the first chapter during the first war. Later on in the story, there will be hard feelings towards her for not fighting in the war (when she reappears on November 1, 1981- the day after the Potters are killed.) There will be a lot of discussion about that.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
One thing that keeps sticking out to me is how completely one dimensional Lily is. OMG its always Black or White with her! I cant't wait to see the complete demise of her relationship with Severus because she doesn't deserve him! Stupid wench. Anyways great Chapter Dear! I love all the development that happened here and how things are moving right along. Happy New Year!! Much Love ~ Brena

Well, in the end it seems it's all about her. She bestows her charms on those she wills and then when she cannot control the person, she justs dumps them. DH showed me that. It was her way or the highway. So in truth, she is rather one-dimensional because she is so very shallow.Thanks for reviewing,Livvy
