Thank you very much. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Well, Severus isn't exactly telling them anything contrary either. He does keep secrets well. Or sleep it off. Thank you very much. and thank you for the review.

Yes, and will again!  Thank you for the review and the stars.

Oh, if you like this one wait till the next chapter - and the one after that! I'm pleased that you can get into this story, that makes me smile. FYI - I have another outing coming up! Thank you very much for reading and the pretty stars.

LOL Maybe he'll jsut sleep it off. Thank you very much for the review and the pretty stars.

Yes, she's going to ahve to adjust her thinking a bit. Thank youfor reading and for the review.

He probably snuck the food and drinks into his pockets early on, hoping to get away. Thank you very much for reviewing and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. Next chapter is in queue and SW has the one after that. I hope they post soon. Thank you very much for the stars and the review.

Thank you very much. It's fun to type a seventeen year-old Severus, with some of the quirks of his older self only with his defences down. I hope to have the next chapter up shortly.  Thnak you very much for the review and the pretty stars.

I'm gald that you enjoyed that. Thank you for reviewing and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much, and thank you for reviewing and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. Wasn't that fun, his trying out his ultra sexy voice just to see what the effect would be?Yes, I was a small thin girl who wore homemade clothes and I was picked on by my peers. I know how cruel kids can be and Severus wasn't your 'normal' kid. Hermione too might have had the same thing, your right.  Oh, doll, I can't tell you how old she'll be on the next jump, LOL. I want to, I wrote it already, butThank you very much for the review and the pretty stars.

Yes, it is and it's good that he's able to be himself with her. Thank you for the review again, and the stars.

Yes, its good that he's forming a friendship with her and has been able to open up and be himself. But alas, it will not last forever, well, for a long time, perhaps.Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. Yes, he did come to really like her and it's starting to stay with him this time around.Dumbledore knows that the use of the Time-Turner will not harm Hermione since the device has a 'return' feature on it. Plus with her mishaps, there is a safety net (Severus) to help her even thought Dumbledore isn't in control of the teenage Slytherin. Hense the concerns about Severus' behavor - Dumbly isn't in control of the situtation (teengae Severus - not adult Snape) and wants to be certain that Miss Granger is being cared for not mistreated by a randy teen who gets to hide her in what is esscentually a bedroom/lab. (If they were both 17 I could really make this NC-17! desk. bed. privacy. unlimited time. showers.)Why is she allowed to keep using it? Simple really. Truth is, Mr. Latimer is a scientist, with a new invention, and now has a subject (Hermione) who is testing it for him! And he's thrilled with her 'discoveries' and the reports and infromation he is recieving. Dumbeldore is as intrigued by the device as well, even asking Severus to tell him about his 'adventure' with it in chapter 4 as they walk to Snape's office. Course Severus says no, but Dumbly simply add, "Ill talk you into it."  He's as interested with the idea of the Time-Turner as Latimer is.Hope that clears up my intentions. Thank you for the review and the pretty stars. SW has my next one and I hope it posts soon, too.

Thak you. I hope you like it, and don't get too confussed. Thank you for the stars and the review.

I'm sorry that it was confusing, but yes, I had to sit down and work it all out for a few people, and I'm glad I did. His Freudian slips, there is something there, but I did not engage them in anything sexual while she is 14/3rd year. Just some typical teenage impressionsn and wayward thoughts, ramdom impressions, but Severus as a teen is really trying to be a gentleman. Yes, it's sad, when you think that here is a girl with whom he has so much in common with and she's unattainable given the current circumstances. Don't sit on pins! They hurt! I sent SW my next chapter and hopefully you'll have it soon! Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. I'm deeply flattered. I love the pom-pom girl.

Cute, as far as the border - there is an attraction in that fact that he really likes her, enjoyes her company and he thinks at times she's cute. Its not a lustful (at least I'm trying to keep it that way) or 'big brother' thing, but there is an attraction, and he does feel protective toward her. Hard to explain. He will not corss the line in the next jump, he does see her as a kid. However there is no denying that they are kindred souls and she is adorable at times. I don't think Hermione is even aware of his mixed feelings yet. Yes, he's only 3 years older and not suave or experienced with girls, so some of her little actions confuse him, not ever having been the recipient of some one to care for and about him.  That too is confusing for him. I hope the next jump back doesn't push any 'sick' buttons.  Thank  you for the honest review and the pretty stars.

I think I wasn't clear enough. I don't mind when she jumps back in time that this young Severus is protective or even more. Like you said he is only three years older. What I don't particularly like is Professor Snape's feelings towards her, when is older, even if I'm practically sure he won't act upon them. I hope thag clarifies things.

Oh_OH! geeze. You are the only one that picked up or percieved a lustfull... That wasn't so much my intenion. True that as a young wizard&professor, any eligible witches (wife) that he might consider would most likely have been or was a student of his, unless he quite teaching or traveled more. But he's looking at the diary his teenage self wrote, all the details and entries, reminiscing about someone who he cared about - and considering how long he cared for Lily, Hermione played a significent roll in his sixth year, if only for brief spells. And he'd just left a meeting when she'd reappeared, thus the time continuum has changed, and hit him. His reaction toward her from chap 4  to this time has changed, and is stronger.That being said, Hermione is an anachronism (his time as a student and in his past as a friend-who possibly meant more) that as a teen he'd really liked. Does that mean he forgets what he felt for her? no. Now - Any association he might try to have with her, (as a lab partner or mentored in any way, given her private tutelage - which is what I have goign through his mind, not sex) could become a problem: Voldemort might find out. But if he could - mentor or tutor her, Hermione would become exceptional in his mind. That's a arrogrant statement, but not too far off. The Diary is in reality memories of his youth - and contains all her jumps, the ones he rememebrs and the ones that went wrong. (that will be clairfied later - but the diary is outside the time loops continum and parallels)   He misses revising with her, discussing things, brewing together... He was thinking about what if... if she'd been from the time of his youth - but now it's impossible to even think about her. I truely believe that Hermione is his perfect soulmate - and if he has to wait three more years - that's nothing to an adult. Time flys fast. But he does't consider it. Not now.But he slams the diary closed and shoves it away, determined to teach her and protect her from harm.  However, he contrives a way to set up brewing time with her. Opens the door for a lab assistant. Considering all Snape does, teach 10 lower level Potions lessons (first- thru fifth-years) and 4 advanced Potions lessons a week, half that are double Potions, grade essays, brew potions for the school hospital, making cerfew rounds, staff meetings, quartly reports, supply requests, cure any Dark Art cursed victim of the school... When does the man sleep? Why wouldn't he consider taking a lab assistant, and who would he have considered? Malfoy? Yeah, right.I don't normally respond when an author responds to my responce, or get into a dialogue, but I want you to know that in no way do I have him lusting or acting lustful toward her in thier contact as professor and student. He's his snarky, demeaning, degrading self-rightous, close to the vest, always on guard, sneering slef. At least until she grows up, but lepords don't change sopts all that easily.I have the chapter of the next jump written, and her return. I think you'll be ok with how things go, but he's the only on ewho knows about all the jumps and is effected by them. Hermione so far is efected by 2 (you'll see the 3 one soon) and there is one more planned. But that's all I'm going to say.

Thank you so much for the detailed clarification.

Yes, he does have a 'protector' streak in him, doesn't he?To sort out all the jumps, maybe this will help: (or confuse you even more  )

Okay, I’ll try to clarify things: 

The jump in which Hermione died was the first mishap. (Her double-jump 1)  The one Professor Snape1 went back to fix years later. (Severus jump 1 when he spoke to TeenSeverus1)  So (Hermione jump 1) is cancelled out, as in didn’t happen.  So TeenSeverus1 waits for Hermione like he’s told and hides her. (This is Hermione jump2 – beginning on chap2-ends on chap4 when she returns.) but because jump1 is erased, only ProfSnape1 remembers it – he told himself, TeenSeverus1, that it happened; that’s why ProfSnape remembers it later on.

However, there are two (Hermione) jumps that occurred after that were disastrous, (Hermione jump 3-4 “The girl had another mishap with the Time-Turner and had gone back to his time again, not once but two more times!” when “she nearly got caught in the cross fire between him, Potter, and Black the first time, and the second time she ended up in Gryffindor tower for a month.” (chap4) In chap4 TeenSeverus1 has grown up, he remembers what his older-self told him about the mishaps (Her-jump3-4) and death (Her-jump1).

So Professor Snape(TeenSeverus1 grown up) went back (Severus jump 2 – he asked Dumbledore for the Time-Turner chap4) to fix things again. However, he meets himself-TeenSeverus by going back to shortly after Hermione had left from (Hermione jump 2 – the one where Hermione is safely tucked away and protected by TeenSeverus – technically this could be a TeenSeverus2 but then it gets too confusing) This is the jump you Snape make in chap2-4.

With me so far?  He goes back to his teen self, so Hermione jump 3-4 are cancelled out. So to be able to remember what’s happened in all four jumps – Severus starts a diary, one he’ll carry back with himself. It’s the constant – a journal log of all jumps, passed from one Severus to another. 

So now we have Hermione jump 5 – the second time TeenSeverus1 hides Hermione. (chap5-8)  There are plenty of time paradoxes in this story, which is confusing, I know, hence the title: Consequences of Meddling With Time.

Ok? Did that help or are you even more confused than before?

I love his name too, Chronos Latimer, which was La Timer when I started thinking about him and stumbled upon Chronus.If you really want to have the jumps down, I actually summed it up for brayer in her review, (tried to sort out the confusioin - and  it's anazing how many jumps she's actually made. Keep in mind, Chronos' journal and Severus' diary are both being filled out with what is going on and being passed along (ie: Severus takes it back to himself) So these books are outside the loops and have all the information of what really happened. All the jumps! (Severus' has other details as well.)I hate to say it, but     okay, yes, there is another character death planned, however keep in mind this is a Time-Turner fic! What's HEA? But yes, Severus is much happier with her in his life, she actually cares for him, likes him a great deal, and it's something young Severus really needs. Thank you for the review. I hope I didn't upset you  with my warning.

Don't worry about upsetting me, Mystery Author, I trust you.  And I apologize about the confusing acronym usage, I get carried away sometimes.  A 'HEA' is a Happily Ever After.  :D

Yes, our guy is really clever and a bit cunning. I always thought it funny that Percy Weasley managed to get 12 (the most you can get) OWLs when Hermione, our 'brightest witch of her age,' needed a Time-Turner to get 11.  But Dumby had his reasons for letting her have it and Mr. Latimer is thrilled with her use.  Go figure?   Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Thank you very much. I have a feeling I'll be repeating this - Do you really think that Severus has expressed everything that went on while he was with Hermione in his past? or possibly keeping some things close to the vest? Professor Snape, while forthright in his report, didn't really divulge much (Except a few Freudian slips lol) And do keep in mind that in all 'appearances and actions' Professor Snape is curt, blunt, and derogratory towards her, but signs her detentions that are challenging not drudgery. He does care, but cannot show it. So yes, Dumbledore is suspecious.Thank you very much for the review and the pretty stars. 

I have read some of the other comments and your detailed responses. I have to add that I remember having feelings for someone in high school, and I look back on those memories with fondness, as I'm sure Severus does about Hermione. But any desire I may have had back then has long ago faded. I'm sure I would enjoy the person's company if I saw therm now, but I would not be lusting after them in my heart. And I certainly would not if that person suddenly was a teenager again!I guess I'm trying to put Professor Snape's feelings for the still young Hermione in perspective for any reader who is concerned about what might be in his adult mind and heart. He has had years to put things into perspective and move on... no matter how serious the feelings of his teenage self may have been. Personally, I never questioned his motives in your story. I think you are writing a wonderful tale and I will be anxious to see how it continues to unfold.

Thank you very much. Dumbledore is planning what he always is - His greater good!! and that Harry defeat Voldemort at any cost. Clear enough?"A man who has nothing to fear and nothing to live for is the most deadly and dangerous person on earth - and the most effective weapon in battle." (quoted from my dad)

Hello, Slytherin! cunning. Head of Slytherin! lol Hmmm don't know that I want to give anything away, yet.Thank you for the review and the pretty stars.

Oh, I know, that was very very Slytherin.  But once he smiled about the brewing, she probably knew it.  Don't worry, I'm patient enough to keep reading.
