I'm a 26-year-old Accounts Payable manager for a construction company. Basically, I'm paid to write checks and intimidate the menfolk around here. I live with my boyfriend and our dog. I wasn't sucked into the HP fandom until just after the release of HBP. So, I'm a newbie compared to most of the fans out there. I've written in several other fandoms (under different pennames) - Anita Blake, Buffy, X-Files, etc.

oh i am nervous now! who will find her? will it be him when she doesnt show for work? will the Healer confide who snape sees while she is in the hosp?
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
...Or where will she stay now that her apartment is such a mess?
sometimes i wish she would just tell him to get lost and go find another job because hes really so mean for no reason
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Poor Snape is going through a lot right now. Hermione will understand why he's being so mean soon enough.
i think the person he is trying to help is his mom
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
There I quite a few theories I've seen, but I've promised myself that I wouldn't confirm or deny any of them. However, I will say that you'll find out for certain in Chapter 13.
Thanks for the update! If Kitty!Hermione isn't careful, she's going to get her tail caught in a race-car door.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Naw, Snape would never do that to poor Hermione. He would cuddle her. ;-)
MORE!!!!i wanna know what the hell is wrong with him!!!seriously, this story is great. one of the most believable future fics so far.i can't wait!!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! Glad that you're enjoying it so far. I promise another chapter sometime this week.
You have me thoroughly enraptured. I'm eagerly awaiting the next chapter. I have my theories... ~The Mistress
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Judging by the theories readers have told me, I've thrown some off and others I haven't. I curious to see if their minds change before I reveal who Snape is trying to help. Anyway, glad you're enjoying it!
Great story, can't wait for more!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thanks!
I am really enjoying your story. Your continued characterization of Snape is very nicely done. I like the way you have set up the story so that grownup Hermione is confronted with the same rude, snarky Snape behavior she had known from her years at school. Its an interesting dynamic having her work for him, in forcing them to interact on a different level. It makes both of them reevaluate the perceptions they have had about each other for so many years. It seems that Hermione and Snape are in for many challenging confrontations in the future as they learn to navigate into new territory. Their metamorphasis has been fun to watch. Thanks!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the fic so far! I hope I can continue to keep Snape in future chapters.
A breakthrough!!! Was beginning to despair for a while there! Looking forward to more
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Don't dispair! I promise to make Snape like her by the end of the story. ;-) Even if I have to blackmail him.
i hope it is not some woman he still loves. because that would make it hard for hermione to get him.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Hmmm...we'll see... I do promise a happy ending for Hermione and Snape.
I do hope you update soon! I enjoyed reading this very much and look forward to more!Shiloh
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! More will be coming soon.
this is great! can't wait to find out why he's not feelin good...
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
The answer to that will come shortly. Glad you're enjoying the fic!
Very nice. It's good to see Severus opening up a bit. Now, here's the question... Who's in a coma that Severus wants to revive??? ~The Mistress
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
I actually think that in the next couple chapters it's pretty obvious who is in the coma, but that may be because I wrote it. ;-) Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy the fic.
This looks promising; an enticing first chapter. Definitely looking forward to next week! ^^
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I'm really looking forward to sharing what I've written as well. It's been hidden away on my computer for several months and it's strange to actually start sending it out there for other eyes to see.
*snerk* Took her long enough to jump at the chance! Yay! More please!!!!
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
More coming soon!
So beautiful and sweet! I really enjoyed reading this!!!
If he's a *Potions master, wouldn't the feminine equivalent be Potions mistress, not Potion mistress?
You used check instead of cheek at the beginning of the chapter.
This is really a delightful, realistic romance without the forced angst and drama. Very nicely executed. I enjoyed this story immensely, and it's now a fav.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the fic. I tried my hardest to make it realistic. I didn't to bring in a previous crush from one or both of them, or make them feel crazy physical attraction right away. Snape helped me along because he's such a bastard. ;-)
Loved it muchly!
*doing my happy dance*
but for some reason I have a bad feeling about the next chapter...

Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank ya! Since the next chapter is the last chapter, I promise that the ending will be at least semi-happy.
Hey there!I've just read everything you have in this fic so far and I love it! Can't wait to read more, hopefully soon.
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thanks! The last chapter will be coming up soon.
You, are an absolutely beautiful writer. I can not believe the depth of emotion wrought from your story. I found this just by chance and it is by far, one of my favorites. I have never been in love with chance more than now for finding your story.
I was waiting for that to happen, part of me sensed it would be him needing comfort and her giving it. They are such a beautiful pairing and you have made this more of a comfort thing than a sex sex sex thing.Thank you for writing this and you are so good at posting often...
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you!
Oh yeah!!! That was good. I wish I could have been there to comfort Snape
Response from anogete (Author of Love Him in My Absence)
Thank you! I think we'd all like to be there to comfort our dear Severus. ;-)
