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.
Reviews for A Change is Going to Come
This chapter seems more sad than the last one, if that's possible. Coming to terms with the loss of a child is such a hard thing to do. Your emotions are all over the place, and nothing seems to matter any more. I'm thankful that Andromeda and Tonks are there for Hermione and able to be a steady and certain support for her.The way the Death Eaters have been terrorizing the Wizarding populous is exactly what I would expect from the likes of Voldemort's supporters. I liked that you had Scrimgeour losing his life defending Harry's whereabouts. The way you incorporate canon into the story is very well written.I hope Hermione will soon get news of Severus, something to ease her heart and answer her questions about why he is doing the things he is. On the face of it, it seems that he is doing little to protect the students, but in truth I think he is doing all that he can while still maintaining his cover as one of the Dark Lord's most faithful. Hopefully soon everything will be sorted, the Dark Lord will be dead, and Severus and Hermione can be together again. It's sad that Serena was lost to them before he even knew he was to be a father.Great chapter, with lots of heart-tugging, lingering fear, and hope. Good job!Beth

Thank you! This chapter, along with the last was so hard to write. It is truly the lowest point for Hermione and Severus. But they will find each other. Don't worry :)Thanks!Livvy
One brilliant mind to another- really, she and Severus were so different but similarly brilliant. Should she be surprised that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had an analogous connection? Sad, reminiscent of Anne Frank's Diary (I'm sure intentionally), but interesting anyhow. I feel so sorry for her, even if she IS fictional. Poor dear.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione is in grief and her hormones and state of mind has to catch up to everything that has happened. All she knows is she is in pain, and Severus is not with her.10 points to your house for noticing the Anna Frank connection! :)Thanks!Livvy
Eeps. I hope Ted Tonks still has his two companions and that they're able to get food somehow, even if Andromeda has to leave it in a tree or other hiding place. I am glad she told Tonks and Andromeda that Severus didn't kill Dumbledore by choice, but that should be a reminder to Hermione that perhaps the whole Headmaster thing is part of the plan as well, to protect the students. Come on, Hermione -- think about your husband's loyalties! At least Herms has the Tonks family, whereas Severus is alone. Will keep fingers crossed for the next chapter. Thank you for updating!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
This is a very low point for Hermione. Her hormones are out of control, still grieving, feels lost and alone. Besides all that, every other day, she has to hide in a footlocker to save her life. Very low point for her right now.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh wow. That made me cry. I've kids and I just can't even imagine that. Really good writing though. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It will be very hard for Hermione. It won't be something she will ever recover from, but she will have her supporters around her and a safe place to hide. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
:(( Poor Hermione! Her having a 'healthy' baby while on the run was a long shot. I had still hoped it would happen. I have you find a way to notify Severus! No matter how to decide to write that bit it's going to be emotional for him.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Not until they are face to face again will he know about Serena's death. Yes, it will be extrememly emotional for both of them.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Whoa. This is quite a tough chapter. Well, I'm disappointed in Dean taking advantage of Hermione and hope he doesn't betray her out of spite for her refusing him. I didn't expect Serena to die, and am glad the whole Tonks family is supportive of Hermione. No way for the guys to find more food even in Muggle areas? No streams with fish? I like this bunch of guys and goblins and hope they all survive. Thanks for the update!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it's very hard for everyone. It's cold outside, the fear of going out to find food a fearful thing. The idea of Snatchers out there has everyone paralyzed with fear. As for the Muggle world, Hermione knows they are there as well looking for her. And if anyone of the group gets caught, betrayal could be a real prospect. Six people to feed and one is pregnant? Not great for getting lots of food when animals are starting to go into hibernation or tucking away into their homes.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Wow, this was hard stuff, Livvy!And Hermione without the possibility to contact Severus. He even does not know about her pregnancy and its failure! I can't imagine how they'll bear this tragedy, but I hope, you'll help them through... somehow. Thank you for writing :)

Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione has some hard times ahead of her. Grieving, anger, sadness. But she will be safe at Andromeda's house where she can work things out in her head. And yes, the inability to contact Severus will be an extra burden on her.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
SADDDD! I was pulling for hermione AND the baby to be okay. Dirk should change his name to dirt because that is how he treated hermione like. All this added stress could have been avoided if at least someone had backed up her story about what sirius did to hermione.( I am the number 1 fan of the i hate harry club) My only sense of satisfaction is that harry will not have hermione's help. Next update in a few seconds?clicks to next chapter. Just joking.
yeahh to this new chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, this is all so tragic, and Dirk is a dick! And believe me, Hermione will not forget it was Harry that placed her in danger and thus loosing her baby. She will have many things to say when she gets back to Hogwarts. And none of them positive for Harry. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh my. Dirk was a complete arse! Dean was a sweet as could be and I liked Ted. I'm really sorry Hermione's baby died. But with all that's going on, understandable.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione will be safe with Andromeda now. Then Hermione will have the time to get her head on straight and work out all her anger and pain.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
I really hope that Harry isn't bumbling around like a tennis ball in a cauldron without Hermione. I mean, the boy isn't that bright? Who is doing his thinking for him? lol And when things get tough - will Ron stick with him or bailout like in canon?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Ron and Ginny are with him. Ginny is rather clever, so Harry will have help.
You are an evil woman. I soo feel for Hermione. And poor Severus, he doesn't even know. Please update soon.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
There would just be no way for Hermione to go on with all the pressure on her. She and Severus will have their time to learn what happened when they were apart and grieve together.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
i have no words.... that was rough
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, very heartbreaking. I will post soon.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
How horrible! Poor Hermione, nothing worse then losing a child. She is going to need a lot of love and support to get through this even though you never truly get over something like that. Very good chapter Livvy.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Hermione will need a lot of love and support. Andromeda will help give her some of the tools she will need to grieve and put everything into perspective.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Looking forward to more. Well done.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to review.Livvy
a very exciting and sad chapter. i do hope harry is coming arround. i hate to see him and hermione at odds. she was always his staunchest friend. even above ron. great update. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It is going to be very hard for Harry and Hermione to ever be friends again, but I am not closing the door altogether. There will be a lot of heartache and pain in the next chapters. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
You are so cruel to them! Poor Severus and Hermione :DIT'S GOOD! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what else you have in store for them.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! Yes, life is going really sour for them. It's going to be rough for the next couple chapters.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
My goodness. That was fantastic. Thank you. Makes me hungry for more.~Mia
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! The next chapter is going to be very emotional. I hope you like how I wrote it.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Okay, I won't use the curse word I want to use (trying to set a good example for my kids), but oh, poor Hermione. When will you let Severus know about the pregnancy? Or will you? I can think of so many bad things that can happen. Well done, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
This is definitely an "Oh, Sh^#!" moment. The next chapter will answer some of your questions. Severus will find out everything in time.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh. Harry without Hermione holding him back is a disaster in the making. Great chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Harry will have to learn to deal with his crusade without Hermione there to help him. But Harry will have a time for reckoning with Hermione. And she will not be so forgiving.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
ahh! can't wait for the next chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter is going to be real emotional. I hope it will go over well.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Poor Hermione. I feel like I've put that in a review in like 50 chapters... but as always, love this story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Hermione suffers a lot. The war will continue to create more suffering, but Hermione will get to a point where she won't care what other people think about what she "should" do for the Greater Good.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
You truly manage to load Hermione with more problems in every chapter! Do have mercy with her!The Forest of Dean lets me hope...Is Harry about to change his mind? Well, he's darn late, isn't he? At least he has to find less Horcruxes than canon-Harry. Why would Hermione need Galleons? She cannot be seen in any wizard place. She's better off at a Muggle grocer. And she should visit an outdoor shop! Another great chapter of a fantastic story!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah, Harry's a bit late for apologies. Hermione will not be forgiving when he tries to come around. Hermione got excited about the money, but remembered that she can't go into Gringotts. So she is as SOL as before. She is terrified to be in the Muggle world as well, now that the DE have killed her parents.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from Bettina (Reviewer)
Hm, are D.E. really able to understand the Muggle bank system? Locate her from withdrawals at an ATM so rapidly she can't Apparate? One of the few who possibly could achieve something is Severus, and he would be glad to see even the smallest sign. But she cannot take residence in anywhere, that's for sure. She's warmly welcome to visit my place and pick a sleeping bag; will you tell her that?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Sure. I'll let her know :) Right now, Hermione is petrified (no pun intended). She's preggers, which can make a woman who is not on Voldy's Most Wanted List nuts with all the hormone fluctuations. Right now, she feels completely alone. No one can help her. The Order can't, she doesn't trust Harry. Besides, the Order is scattered to the winds. Can't go back to Hogwarts, either. Her parent's house has been burned to the ground. All she sees are DE looking all through Muggle England to kill her and her baby.
OMG, This is how you leave it. I need more. This story and inparticular this chapter is soooo good. Please don't leave us hanging to long. I almost didn't give this story a chance when you first started writing it. Now I am sooooo glad I did. Thank you.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter is in the queue. I'm glad you have given this fic a chance! As soon as it gets through the queue it will be up.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Yikes! Yay for Tonks for being supportive, and the neighbor for helping Hermione. I think she might be safer in the Muggle world but with lots of wards; if she goes to Diagon Alley, Voldy's peeps might catch her. No way to let Severus know she's okay? Scary! Thanks for updating.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione is stuck between a rock and a hard place. She is terrified to remain in the Muggle world, now she knows the DE have killed her parents. But friends are few and far in between in the magical world. At this point, she will have to live by her wits - which still will be a heck of a lot better than Harry without her, I'm sure ;)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
OMG ok so i have been following this fic and i have to say that i love it.... you write severus sooo well...... i love the name for her daughter its mine as well... i wonder if severus will able to make contact with hermione while she is on the run
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! Serena is so perfect for a name of Severus' daughter. I'm pleased that was a happy coincidence for you :) It is going to be a dark road ahead for Hermione. The next chapter will answer a lot of questions.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Wow! Things are beyond intense at this point. Poor Hermione! Not only is she pregnant and on the run, but she has no idea where her husband is and her parents are now dead. I can only imagine that Severus is feeling the same - alone, desperate, and utterly sad without his other half. Hopefully, these two will reunite soon, and he can finally know about Serena. Great story, it's kind of sad to hear that only nine chapters are left, but I can't wait to get to that final chapter so that Hermione and Severus finally get their happy ending. I can't think of two people who deserve it more than they do.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, both Severus and Hermione are beyond consolation. But because this is Hermione's POV, we will only see her side. Later, when they reunite, we will see what Severus suffered through. There is still a whole hell of a lot of drama before it's all over :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
