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.
Reviews for A Change is Going to Come
I am so glad that Hermione and Severus got to have these two weeks together. Merlin knows they needed and deserved it! Having the time and the opportunity to live out their fantasies had to bring them both some much needed relief— physical, emotional and spiritual. They've been in love for two decades and have spent more time apart than together. I know there are difficult times ahead for them, but at least they have these memories to hang onto when all hell breaks loose.Finding the Ravenclaw Diadem will be on the top of their list, but Hermione will also be concentrating on finding out if Rosmerta is under the Imperius Curse, and Severus will have his hands full keeping an eye on Draco. And heaven only knows what the Dark Lord will have for him to do... and he has to steel himself to what he must do to fulfill his promise to Dumbledore.It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Thanks for this amazing chapter.Beth

Thank you for your compliments! Yes, things for Hermione and Severus are going to go very bad. There is a lot to be done and a short time to complete it. There will be a lot of action for the next few chapters.Thanks!Livvy
Fantasies and more fantasies. What a wonderful way for Sev and Hermione to spend Christmas. Beats the last one they shared.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, our couple needs some "alone" time ;) It's about time they had some.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Love to see them as randy teenagers. So they know about the Diadem - but not where.
I think they will figure this out soon enough.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Definitely! It will serve as Hermione's get out of jail card, if she needs it.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I loved them being seventeen for awhile. Getting to play out their adolescent fantasies was hot, and sweet, and very much needed. By them, not me. Well ok, me too ;)While I'd love to have more chapters of frolicking and fun, I hope the next gets us further into the action, and the inevitable mess that is coming our way. I'm anxious for the end, because I won't be able to relax until I know what becomes of them. They've been in love for twenty years, and able to live their lives with no pretense for zero. You couldn't possibly give them anything but a happy ending could you? *hides, afraid to look*
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It's okay to come out of hiding. I do love happy endings, but I sure do make them earn it... I can't resist the ANGST! The next chapter will bring us closer as will chapter 64. Again, another dramatic turn that will be the worst separation for our couple yet.Thanks for reviewing!
I loved the first part - more sex please? lmfao - I loved how you brought the diadem into this and gave us more of a backstory... I also love that you are making it a big investigation... I am sadened that you said this story doesn't have too many chapters left ---- I want a 100 more chapters missy! lol - please? =)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I probably could write more chapters, but I thought of a sequel. Perhaps after the last chapter is posted you could throw me an idea or two? ;)Oh! Yes, there will be another sensual and touching love scene coming up :)Thanks for reviewing !Livvy
*angelic singing* A new chapter! How exciting! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! Thanks, hoped it was all you hoped it would be!Livvy
I really like how you had Severus' explain about the Horcurxes. You did a wonderful job of showing how his mind works and how he pieced it together. Only one thing - the ring! Yes it belonged to an ancient pure-blood family, the Gaunts, but Marvolo used to WEAR the ring on his finger, all the time, showe dit off to the Ministry representative, and later Mort wore it as well. That's how Tom got it - he killed Mort to get it and used the death of his uncle to make it a Horcrux. The rest was bloody brilliant and interesting. Good job. I'd still like to see her fix her relationship with Harry. Harry and ROn combined don't have enough brains to do what they need to do without her!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I can't promise about Harry and Hermione patching things up, but yes, they will have to do the Horcrux hunting without her. Yeah, I didn't want to just go into the whole story about the Gaunts. I wanted some things to be open ended because Severus doesn't have the whole story, just the mythology surrounding the ring and the Peverells.Thanks for all your compliments. I'm glad I could get it down on paper to make sense! :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
Congratualtions on the nomination! 4 categories!
Again, this makes so much more sense. A nasty bit of Voldemort's soul was hanging out at Black's house, and nobody noticed? That was great.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I'm glad you appreciated that little tidbit :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
This was so much fun, and the happier tone felt as satisfying as the best "comfort" food---umn, chocolate fudge brownies, perhaps? But NEXT chapter---hmmm, do they MAKE chocolate lemon meringue pie??? (forgive me, I'm on a diet, and it's working, but the sugar cravings are crying out tonight).I can't wait for the next chapter, and will gladly take the heavy/bad with the lemony/good---just happy that you keep on writing another chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, the next chapter has all the range of emotions - and yes, there is going to be some mouth-watering lemonade as well. Enjoy ;)Thanks,Livvy
A very good use of Mundungus. Hermione is just going to have to thank everyone on her team for helping to get her those two weeks, and Severus better not do any work then! Although I do hope Hermione traces Rosmerta and learns something. Thanks for updating!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Believe me, those two are going to make the next two weeks count. Thanks! Livvy
Hahahaha poor herione, teach her to trust her snakey husband to cast the spell instead of doing it herselfGreat chapter, much cheerier than dreary like some of the previous, a nice little reprieve, but back to business next chapter I guess?:)xx
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, not completely. Hermione spending Christmas with Severus will give a lot of entertainment ;)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Response from Duchess_Of_Arcadia (Reviewer)
Oo hooray :D
Well that was embarrassing, but she got her vacation time, so who cares.I too have wondered about the swirly magic thing that goes on between Hermione and Severus. I was thrilled when she asked him, but he didn't give the answer I wanted. Is that the subtle hint that there really isn't anything more to it, just a special thing that happens between them? Or did she bring it up because it is important?Long ago, when she was still back in time, I sort of wanted her to be able to stay there, but thought how sad it would be for her to not get to go back to her original time and grow up with Harry and Ron. By now though, I am kind of done with Harry, and wonder how I ever thought they could go back to being close friends. I can see where his anger stems from, but he needs to let it go.I liked her reasons for needing time to spend with her husband, and I want those things for them too... pretty please!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione and Severus don't know why it happens. It is a very intimate happening between them that strengthens their love and the promises they have made and gives them a sense of strength when apaart. More will be elaborated on it in a later chapter.Next chapter will have a lot of different things going on, however, some good old fashioned quality time as husband and wife is number one on the list :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
The POtions book is cursed? or has curses in it? I know that there are Dark or questionable spells written in the book... I do hope Ginny steals it.I'm glad that Hermione is doing well. I never thought of Dung in quite the same contex that you did, but that part was fantastic! Well done with Dung!Please, please I hate Harry-prat! Fix that?Hugs~ I'm still loving this story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! The potions book has a spell on it that causes the person who has taken it to be possessive and act in a manner that will point out he has it, so Severus could find out who it is. That is why Harry is so crazy obsessed with the book and refuses to let others look at it or use it.I'm glad you liked how I worked Dung in the fic. I always thought there could have been more potential with him, so I decided to do it myself :)Yeah, the Harry-prat thing... well, it isn't going to get better. It's going to get worse. Much worse. However, he will realize one day how wrong he was.Thanks,Livvy
I enjoyed seeing Dung in a different light. He's pretty darned clever after all. I'm glad that Hermione and Severus will be able to spend the Christmas hols together. Merlin knows, they deserve it, so I hope Voldemort doesn't have any special projects for Severus. I can't shake this feeling that Severus is going to have bad news for her... "Remember, Hermione. No matter what the future brings, I will love you, and that will never change.” This can only mean that he will soon have to kill Dumbledore, and then all billy hell will break loose.Oh boy, I'm looking forward to your next update! Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes... as always, your intuition is right on. The next chapter will be extremely emotional and chocked full of information Severus has to share with Hermione and then deal with Hermione's reaction. But there will be silliness - which they need. It's hard for them being married and not getting to spend proper time together. So they will have their moments as husband and wife and trying to figure out the mysteries of what has been going on with Draco, Severus' knowledge about Regulus Black's death and his placing together his thoughts on the Horcruxes he has seen in Dumbledore's office.I always wondered, "Why didn't Albus have Snape tell Harry about the Horcruxes?" Being a Dark Arts know-it-all, he would have more information than Slughorn could ever give him. But there it is again, Dumbledore's strange paranoia of one person knowing too much.Thanks!Livvy
lmao, I even laughed a little in real life after that last tidbit. I'm a happy that Severus and Hermione will fianlly get to spend time together! =)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, yes! The next chapter will be full of heavy stuff to digest, but it will be tampered with some lovely lemons. I should have Chapter 61 in the queue tomorrow.Thanks for reading and reviewing!Livvy
LOL!!! The ending to this chapter was priceless. Have I told you in my last five reviews that I love this story, that I adore this story and that it makes my day when it is updated? If not, shame on me. :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you so much! And yes, you have been a great cheerleader, telling me how much your have enjoyed this fic and how you look forward to it. I've been a bit worried with a drop-off in reviews, but it always good when get reviews from those who are consistent. I hope you like the next chapter. Lemons, mystery, angst- it's going to be BIG. I'll have it in the queue tomorrow.Thanks for your lovely review! :)Livvy
That was wonderful. I loved the different take on Dung.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I thought it would be interesting to bring in an Order member that's one dimensional and show exactly how he operates with dodgy people.Thanks for reviewing! :)Livvy
Thanks for the quick update. I enjoyed your take on Mundungus, I could really see him being a master of stealth and concealment- after all, in DH he avoided a house elf for quite a while, which should be pretty difficult. Severus definately seems to be trying to prepare Hermione for Dumbledore's death. I am waiting to hear about Slughorn's party in your universe.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, sorry. The Slug Club party will only be mentioned in passing. The next chapter will have Severus and Hermione being together and Severus will explain to Hermione everything he's been working on for the past twenty years. Yes, Severus will try to explain what is going to happen, so you get to read about Hermione's reaction. I hope you like the spin I make with Severus' knowledge about what Dumbledore and Harry are up to.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I'm SO happy that you updated again so soon. YAY! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! This chapter just flew fast through the queue!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I think something got in the way of Hermione casting a 'pristine' silencing spell haha. I can't wait to her about these 2 weeks. Great chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It's going to be full of mystery, angst, and throughout it all, lemons along the way. I hope you like it! I should have the chapter in the queue tomorrow.Yeah, I think it would be hard to concentrate when you have a horny Snape on top of you...he-he!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Another great chapter. Harry need's to get a grip. Can't wait for your next update.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I agree, Harry is getting out of control.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
wow! harry really is being a prat. i am glad sev and hermione made up. that was a wonderful apology. thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Harry will continue to be a pain. Glad you liked how Severus came with his head hung low :)Thanks for reading and reviewing!Livvy
I think Harry's being totally unreasonable. He might be angry with Hermione, but he was totally callous when she told him about Sirius. She doesn't need a friend like that.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Harry is really letting his emotions get the better of him. Sirius is a sore subject with him. Unfortunately, he will continue in his hatred of Hermione saying Sirius was a rapist. It will lead Harry to make a choice that will bring a death that will affect Hermione unlike anything she'd ever had to face.Thanks for reading and reviewing!Livvy
Response from debjunk (Reviewer)
I certainly hope you're not talking about Severus...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
That would be anathema! No, I am a firm believer in happy endings. Why else would I pile on all the angst? :)Livvy
I am glad they made up. Harry can be such a subborn arse at times. I hope he comes around. Great chapter, update soon.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Harry can really get stuck in his thinking and then refuse to budge. Sometimes, he is determined a person is bad just as he has decided Sirius was good-no matter what anyone says. This will continue to be a problem between Harry and Hermione.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Well that chapter had NICE ending lol ;) So I think Hermione should just have Minerva or Dumbledore demand the book from Harry - or better yet, have Ginny or Ron help them find it ;)
Is this the incident that makes the baby? ;)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
No... but at some point it will :) Don't underestimate Ginny's ability to be a sneaky girl!Thanks!Livvy
