I write fan fiction: I am a big SS/HG shipper, but I also like RL/HG, DM/LL and tastefully written Dramione or Lumione on occasion.
I photoshop: I use photoshop an awful lot to create my own banners and edit photos - I love my DSLR.
I am a bibliophile: Paperback, hardcover, graphic novel, fiction or non-fiction. You name it, I read it and collect it.
SEVERUS SNAPE IS MY ONE TRUE LOVE!!!
Reviews for The Beauty of Science
Much as she loved both of her two closest female friends, spending as much time with them as she had been as the wedding drew closer and closer made her feel like she was being smothered. Poor Hermione. She isn't the shopping type. She and Severus are so alike that I can see how all this planning and such is just not her thing. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't just elope. No planning, no reporters spying on the wedding. And then she could just let Molly do her thing for the reception... problems solved.I'm getting excited about the wedding... but don't tell Hermione I said so.

Scientific planning or wedding planning? oh, wait, aren't they one and the same? ^_^
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
They are the same :p Thanks for reviewing.
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)

Is this to be a theoretical or empirical experiment? ^_^

Woo hoo! I'm so glad Hermione gave Severus her great-grandfather's pocket watch. I believe it gave him the courage to ask her to marry him. Lovely!!!

Sweet! With the "love cat" now out of the bag, I expect to see an increase in the encouragement from their friends as Hermione and Severus move into a higher gear of their research on Lycanthropy.One of the first things a scientist learns is that proximity between reactants leads to reactions... I can't wait to see what happens as these two work on their project.Beth

Thanks so much for the review, Beth! :D

Thanks so much for the review, Beth! :D
Cute chapter. I like that Hermione has the Potter's and Snape has someone too!
Good idea - the two of them working on the cure together. They have smarts. Off to the next chapter.
Hahah, I bet that shocked her friends. Nice to see McGonagall giving Snape the push he needs!
Oh, it's so good they are working on a cure for Lycanthropy! If anyone can do it, it'd be them.
hmmm

Oh, my poor love birds! Neither particularly likes being the center of attention, but people are drawn to them likea moth toward a flame... and that gets in the way of Cupid's clear shot. Perhaps they should meet each other somewhere out of the way. Some place where the scenery is romantic, the food is sinfully delicious, and the staff are trustworthy. I'm just saying.(Pssst. Hermione, listen to Ginny!)Beth
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
Lol, what a romantic idea. And yet, I doubt that the two of them would be up for a romantic dinner for two at this point. Lol. Thanks for the review, Beth! :D

Heh, Snape is always so insecure. And so is Hermione. I look forward to their relationship progressing.
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
There will be progress in the near future, thanks!

She sounds like Scarlett "I'll think about it later" O'Hara. ^_^

Oh my! I think we have a working potion and a growing fondness between Hermione and Severus... and Neville has witnessed enough that he sees it, too.Well done, Brandy!Beth

Lol, thanks so much! :D Next chapter is in queue!

They're on a first name basis now- I like this very much. And when they were so easily able to agree on what to do with the royalties, all I could think about was that they are far more alike than they realized.Off to the next chapter!Beth
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
Well, yes they are alike :p And soon they shall discover that this means they are compatible. Thanks!

Snape's got it bad for Granger, hasn't he? I loved it that she didn't make any comment about his being late.I'm trying to catch up, so I'll just say, "This story is AWESOME!" Keep up the great work.Beth

Errrr, errr, is the potion to be ingested orally or given IV? At least in Muggle medicine you would have to decide this. I'm quite surprised that Frank L considers Severus a friend. When has this happened? Otherwise well written, and we see the chemistry building up!
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
As this is the magical world, not everything can make sense and their medical practices are obviously different from Muggle ones -a lot of stuff just has to be made up as you go along. Frank being friends with Snape is something I decided because in the books it doesn't say anything about them not being on good terms, so I decided he needed a friend. Thanks for the review.
Response from Bettina (Reviewer)
Hi,Yes, Severus needs a friend, and Frank will need someone to help him through the 30y he missed!While it is many times implied that the Longbottoms were very much like the Potters, we have indeed no info in canon about their ages or even their Hogwarts houses. I took too much for granted here. Sure you make up how the potion works, but the rats got the same medicine orally. I just wondered about the difference. Even wizards are mamals, after all :-).
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
Response from Hanagasume (Author of The Beauty of Science)
Just seemed easer to inject it into them, especially as injecting medicines allows it to incorporate into the system faster than injestion. I guess we could say that they were more eager for the results of the Longbottom's.-A.
