I am a classically trained singer with three children. I love Star Trek and have watched probably every episode of every series. Favorite HP charaters are Snape and McGonagall. (not as a couple.)

That sounds like the name of a song :PNice job!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Yup, yup. By Aqua no less. Although MollysSister feels that this is perfectly suited to Cher's little ditty. thanks!
He’d witnessed the union of the brightest witch of her age to the dullest knife in the drawer. You had me laughing with that line! This is a brilliant idea, tell me there is more? UPDATE I need to know if it only takes one week to change the course of history and Hermoine and Severus nakkidness!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
There's more. I'm waiting for word from my beta, then the next chappie will be in the queue. Thank you very much!As for the week, that's all the time he'll get, so he'll have to make the most of it. Hopefully, he'll do what needs to be done, and Hermione will enjoy being pursued.
Time is always fun to manipulate, isn't it? I wonder what he's going to do with his "other self" while he's in the past trying to win her over. I do think this is a fun concept and look forward to what's coming. Also, the progression of her wanting him, to losing hope, to loving Weasley was well presented. Good job.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Oh, it's always a blast to play with time. Severus will try to convince himself to pursue her. You'll see how easy or hard that winds up to be.Thank you! I'm glad that Hermione's progression seemed legitimate. Poor woman, I think she's settling, whether she's willing to admit it to herself or not.
Intriguing start. I'm looking forward to reading more.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you! I'm hoping you'll enjoy th rest of it.
Hmmm, this will be interesting--I do wonder if he will be able to convince himself to give Hermione and himself a chance...huh? LOL, and I have to admit, the first thing I thought of was that song "If I could turn back time" by Cher 
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Oh, that's another one. (the song) And it fits quite well. Actually, I was thinking of the song by Aqua... Turn back Time. This is the first line of the chorus.Well, we'll have to see what Severus can do with past!Severus. He's a pretty determined guy, so he'll probably be very convincing. 
oh boy! i love tt stories! i look forward to how this one turns out! thanks
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks! I love them too. There's always so many possibilities! And the chance to right a wrong is so very attractive.
I am really looking forward to seeing where this goes. I hope that Sev manages to get Hermione instead of Ron.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Oh, don't we all! It'll really depend on whether he can convince himself to make that move!
I don't usually like time turner fics agreat deal but this has caught my attention. Keep up the great work and I'll deinitely keep reading.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you very much. I'm glad you're giving this one a shot. It's a bit different from the usual Time-turner story. Usually, we don't see a character interact with him or herself in a past situation. Oh, the possibilities!
excellent beginning.I wonder what the butterfly effect will be.Quite interesting I bet.Waiting for more.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you. I'm sorry, but I'm not quite sure what you mean by the butterfly effect. I'm a bit obtuse at times. I can tell you that the ride will be interesting.

With Severus going and trying to change the events in the past what kind of chaos is he creating.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effectand the moviehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Butterfly_Effect
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Oh! I wondered if it was something like that, but I haven't heard that term before. I love the concept of the tornado being influenced in such a way by a simple wing flap. But I love that kind of speculation anyway. Yup, we're definitely looking at endless possibilities.
Response from pickles (Reviewer)
I was watching a rerun of Charmed the other week.Piper/Leo are in marriage counseling.Piper does a spell and Phoebe/Paigh both go through the past with a demon following them.Apparently, Pru runs off with a biker in the middle of Piper's wedding. The wedding cake falls over but the bride and groom cake topper is fine until the demon appears and steps on it and breaks it.One thing leads to another...Is the next chapter done yet?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Lol. Yes, but it needs a bit of editing, and beta-ing before it gets submitted. Soon, my dear, soon.
Now he has to convince his past self not to turn her down. Tricky! :)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
It will defiitely be a challenge! Thanks!
Interesting beginning.I'm trying to wrap my mind about the implications of changing something that happened so long ago. To what scenery will he return if he succeded?Indeed he was a fool. Having a young witch he actually likes pursuing him for two years and never reacting. Good grief, how set in your ways can you be?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Great question about what he'll return to. That's all part of the mystery here. You'll find out when he does. It could go either way, really.Severus can be a bit duderheaded, especially when it comes to women. I think he really doesn't believe he deserves such attention, so he let it slip by when it was right there in front of him.
Intriguing beginning. I look forward to seeing how Severus plans to manipulate the past to get the results he wants.
And oh, what a deliciously Slytherin plot!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
It is a bit Slytherin, isn't it? Too bad he didn't realize all of this earlier! But, then we wouldn't have a story, now, would we?
Interesting start. I'm looking forward to seeing you what you do with this story. Wonderful job! Keep up the good work. ~Jen
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you! Severus is in for a good butt kicking... from himself.
Very nice beginning. I loved his reaction to her wedding.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks. It's really the only reaction possible for anyone witnessing this wedding. I know some people like Hermione and Ron, but I'm just not one of them. I don't think there's too many on this site who are either. Lol.
So what does he do - talk some sense into his past self?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
More like yell some sense into himself. He'll see himself right off in the next chapter, and then the fun will begin.
Absolutely lovely story. I've never liked Ron, and as sshg is my otp, I find that Hermione making a CHOICE basing it on her knowing both men is simply wonderful. Thank you for the great reading piece!
Such a sweet ending! This was a wonderful medium-length time-turner fic with a unique twist to the trope!
This is such a fantastic story premise and start. Poor Snape!
I love the way this story ended. It was so lovely. Of course he would be a defeatist. Great story!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Oh, thanks! I really had fun with the prompt, and I'm glad you enjoyed the story so well.
Lovely story!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)

for time and all eternity. beautiful. thanks so much
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Hmmm, sounds like something I've heard before...So glad you liked this kimjo!
Very good ,thanks for such an entertaining evening. I so glad it turned ou so well :) you did a great job.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to write. Severus and Snape really were a blast.
A Tense ending, really hoping this will work out, great scene with them on both sides. Dang what a dream having two Snapes kissing you at the sametime. whoo hoo :)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Yeah, I just had to play around with that. (Secret fantasy, I guess.) Now, on to the future!
Good arguments interesting self conflict. Great job.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks!
Scary place to be left. I sure hope things work out.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
She's incredibly angry. But Hermione is a deliberate person. She'll think everything through before deciding what to do.
