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.

Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.

Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

I think you've done an amazing job of working Alissa into canon. I am amazed again and again by the details you've included. I'm enjoying the story immensely. I'm glad Sev and Alissa have each other.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Thank you so much for reviewing! I really appreciate it when an older story gets a review. I am actually doing a sequel based on Hermione and Remus in this alternative universe of this story. It was talked about at the end, but not indetail about Hermione and Remus getting together. I don't know if you are a HG/RL shipper, but if you are, watch out for it!Thanks,Livvy

Okay, so I cheated and came over here to finish the story I started reading on Occlumency. I could say it is because I prefer reading on the blue background, but really it that I wanted to read the rest of the story. Instant gratification takes too long and all that. I've had the best time reading this fic. I even liked the battle scenes, and that almost never happens. I like Remus and Hermione, I never could see her making a go of things with Ron. Hell, I liked everything about this story. It also gives me hope that your current WIP might turn out okay for Hermione and Snape.

WOW, Alissa is undoubtedly suitable for Severus, but oh uh, I don't want to cross this woman -- not even if I was Severus Snape! Will he be grateful that she saved him at all?

Beautiful ending to a wonderful story. I especially like the Remus/Hermoine ending, it seemed fitting as she has always (in cannon) been very responsible and mature in her actions.Cant wait to read more of your stories.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Thanks! I'll be starting the HG/RL story later this summer. I've got "Bookends" warming up in the queue now, and I'm working on another HG/SS fic right now. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy

I love the end, it was everything I asked for. I never read the GWTWsequel, but I watched miniseries, that must be why the line is so familiar to me.I've always preferred that 'beautiful friendship' line Bogart says to Claude Rains to the 'We'll always have Paris' line he says to Ingrid Bergman.I hope you will continue with your OFC stories. You create such wonderful OFCs and I always find an OFC much more interesting than Hermione.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Thanks so much! For a while I will be working on my HG/SS fics, I do have in the back of my mind to make a one-shot I did for the DH Prompt Challenge into a multi-chapter. That has an OC named Laura in it. If you read it, any ideas on how to build on the story would be much appreicated!Thanks so much for staying through and reviewing so consistantly. It really touches my heart.Thanks!Livvy

I didn't get a chance to read until tonight, I had surgery on my left hand two days ago and I've finally recovered from the anesthetic. They told me it would be done with a local, but they used a general so I've really been out of it for the past two days. They had both better survive and have a happy ever after, I've invested too much in them emotionally for them to die. Harry could have died and I would have been indifferent, but she let Snape die with disrespect. I want him to live respected by all. This is short, but I can only use one hand for typing right now.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Ouch! Hope you are feeling a little better. I hated the idsrespectful way she let Snape die. He deserved so much more.I do hope you like the ending! It will be posted as soon as it gets through the queue!Thanks,Livvy

I really like the point she made at the end, which was more difficult being the adorer or the adored. For Severus I think it's actually being the adored one. As she said, he was in control when he was the adorer but he has no control of her adoration of him.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Yes, that is going to really bother him and cause a rift between them. He's going to have to deal with it.Thanks!Livvy

I have a corection for you to make. Bathilda's last name is Bagshot, not Babcock.

Things are moving slowly and I can see that it's putting a lot of stress on them both. Fortunately, you are giving me information about what happened at Hogwarts and what happened when Luna was abducted, that's a lot more than JKR did during that period in the book.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Thanks for pointing out the mistake! I'm glad you're still liking the story!Livvy

I've been trying to place the time frame of this chapter so I went to HPL and looked at the timeline for DH but the date Gregorovitch was murdered wasn't there. I figure that it must be late Autumn in this chapter. I can really understand now why Alissafeels so impatient with the trio and their search. I've always thought they went way offtrack when they decided to search for the Deathly Hallows.If they had concentrated on the Horcruxes first and then looked for the Hallows the battle would probably have been fought sooner and 'He Who I Found Most Tiresome' have been permanently vanquished sooner. I've often wondered why Dumbledore never told Harry about the Elder wand, that was the most important thing he kept secret from Harry and i don't know why.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Well, Dumbledore knew from experience that the Hallows could get a person bogged down in getting them and keeping them for one's own power. To think you could bring your loved one's from the dead with the resurrection stone alone! It's like the Mirror of Erised. The Hallows can suck the life out of you with it's promise of glory and all of what you desire most.I thought Dumbledore was really stupid in not preparing Harry for his quest. Either that or JKRowling really screwed the pooch (which I think she did anyway by killing off Snape) but anyway- I can see why it would be important for Harry to know of the Hallows existence, because that was what Voldemort was trying to get. Harry already possessed two out of three and the Elder Wand was supossed to go to Snape- he REALLY screwed the pooch on that one.DH was a huge disappointment for me. I literally thought someone was playing an evil joke when I started reading it. Halfway through I was like, "This is just stupid!" I want to know what's going on at Hogwarts!Anyway, I hope you keep liking the story!Livvy

Response from Trickie Woo (Reviewer)

I agree with you, DH was a big disappointment. I found most of the trio's adventures to be very secondary to what was going on at Hogwarts. Heck, I never cared much about those three anyway. Neville was the kid I cared most about, and then Luna. Snape was the crux of the whole series, the entire saga turned on whether he was good or bad and she not only killed him off, she did it in the most disrespectful and ridiculous way. She couldn't even be bothered to have 'HW' throw and Avade Kedavra at him. She has him killed by a giant snake in a bubble.BTW, am I right in my guess about the timeframe of the chapter?

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Yes, it was important to show how dragging the time was, the inactivity of the three of them in that damn forest! I was told it was to be compared to the wandering in the desert in the Old Testement by the Israelites. Now, I understand Jewish Numerology and there are many references to the 40 days and 40 nights, four days, also 40 years signifying a time of "probabtion" for the kinks in the personality of the person or persons involved to be worked out. I could see the point. I couldn't say if they were out in the Forest of Dean for 40 bleeding days or what-not, but I just thought it was a real waste of time. I agree totally on Snape being the crux of the books. He was the most important person next to Harry Potter. So, he got the shaft in life and he got the shaft in death. Pretty rubbish death!I would have LOVED to have seen Neville's metamorphasis from ne'er-do-well to a brave leader of a radical underground movement. Luna is always a riot! Anything with Luna is awesome and I LOVED the girl they got to play her in the movie.

Wow. That was intense!

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

I really wanted to show a side to thier relationship that wasn't just sweetness and light. Their encounters have been so tame thus far, and that is just not in character for Snape, at least not all the time. So, I wanted to show he had a partner that could indulge him in his darker side and not be put off by it.Thanks!Livvy

Response from mia madwyn (Reviewer)

Well, and she's pretty dark, too. I think it's a valid point and you did a great job.

nice on the Rowle twist......and having Draco do it under the imperius Curse ... just goes to show that Draco (pain that he may be at times) is not his father....again impressive and awaiting more.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Thank you! I thought it was important to point that side of Draco out, that it was canon that he was forced to do things under the Imperius Curse.I also wanted to show how Alissa dealt with the carnage around her. She isn't a machine that is unfeeling. Unfortunately, dissociating isn't the healthiest thing either!Livvy

I appreciate that the chapter was so fast paced, I never like to read death, gore, and violence. I hope you keep the pace up and get past all of that much more quickly than JKR did so we get to the really important part and find out if Snape and Alissa survive and can make a future together..When I read DH last July I found that for me tha climax took place in the Shrieking Shack and the denouement was in 'The Prince's Tale'. After that I was indifferent to what happened to the other characters and only read the last few chapters out of habit.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

The Prince's tale was really the chapter that made all the other books make sense. It was the glue to everything that was supporting Harry. THere will be a very dramatic and climactic later with the battle and what happens in the shack. I hope you like I do that.Thanks,Livvy

I tried to review this chapter after i read it last night but I couldn't get it posted. TPP must have been doing some more work on the system.This was such a sad chapter to read. I always wondered why Rowling had to put anything more in DH except that Charity Burbage was killed by Death Eaters.I do hope that things will be better for them by the end and that they survive to have a future together.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

I thought it was important to see how it is on the flipside, where Snape thinks he can't be loved because of the horrible things he has had to do, so I wanted him to be the one to accept the insecurities of another instead of being the one accepted or rejected because of his own insecurities

Even to this point, he still thought of Lily first, and Alissa still loved him. So powerful. And of course, at the end, he finally loves her.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Yes, from now on it is a new story, major turning point. However, memories of Lily will still linger and cause difficulties.Livvy

Trickie Woo

I'm happy that he finally has accepted her love and allowed himself to love her. I've never followed the cult of St. Lily. If she had really been a good person she would have accepted his apology and remained his friend. Anybody would have realized that he would lash out at the first person who came near and said things he didn't mean at all. She didn't have to fall in love with him, but she ceratinly should have remained his friend.

Response from livvy6 (Author of I'll Be There)

Preach it sister! I agree. I'm glad you are liking how the story is turning out.Livvy
