I happened upon this story and what a delightful surprise.  Wonderfully written, a simple, elegant story that is rich with the themes of redemption and forgiveness.  I'm eager to read more.

wow that was deep poor baby.

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Yes, it was a shock for him. I suppose almost everyone has experienced this kind of pain at least once in their life, but for children is particularly tough.

Painted Snape is going to learn to live again in that form... and it won't be easy. Thanks for leaving me your comments, and sorry for my English. I am Italian.

poor scorpius, even a hufflepuff can be cruel. Wonder what happened to Lucius. Glad that Severus could laugh, it seems his mood is slightly lifted.

good to see an update this chappie was on point geee poor snape nowhere for him to hide. thanks so much!

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Thank you for your message. I'm glad to see that you keep reading: evidently you find the story interesting, in spite of its flaws. The chapter was late because of my frantic research for a new beta and then of course because of the queue. Our brave admins have a lot of work to do. However, as I said time ago, this story is completed and it has 38 chapters. So, it's only a matter of patience for the readers... and for the author ;)

Turn and turn anon and all will be well. ^_^

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Er... this is one of those moments in which I feel that my command of English isn't up to the task... I'm sorry but I find your comment a bit cryptic, though I think I have more or less understood. Would you mind explain to the poor foreigner? ;)Thanks for leaving me a message and for improving my knowledge of the language :)

Response from MsTree (Reviewer)

It's a phrase that basically means things can change for the better if you work at it. I just put it into a slightly medieval dialect without thinking because I've been working on a project for the historical recreation group I belong to. Sorry! ^_^

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

No need of apologies. I love to learn more and more about your language. And I adore the medieval period (well, I adore all about history). Thank you very much for teaching me a new expression. And thank you for being such a faithful reader and reviewer :)

I have been following this story as you post with great pleasure. I usually only read SS/HG stories, but once in a while, a story involving Snape and Harry's children tweeks my interest and I must read it anyway. This is such a delight, and it has taken several interesting and unexpected turns along the way. I'm so glad that Harry and Snape can finally have a civil conversation, and Snape can begin to feel truly appreciated by the still flesh and blood people that surround him. But I can't help but wish that he would find some ancient spell or potion in that old book to bring him back from canvass to flesh and blood himself. He has grown and matured so much as a human being since this story began.I must apologize for not reviewing after every chapter. I often read from my phone, but I cannot review from the phone. Please forgive me. Keep writing this wonderful story. I can hardly wait to see where else you take me. :)

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Well, what to say? I'm so happy you follow the story with such pleasure! Thank you very very much. I can't tell you what happens next, but rest assured that you will find some other interesting turns, that I hope you will appreciate as much as the past ones. Just a handful of pages before the end (the story has 38 chapters), and then I'll be very curious and grateful to hear your final opinion.Don't worry about reviewing, I know that you are there reading. I hope that my beta will send me back soon the next chapter, because I am uncomfortably aware that, between revision and queue, the intervals between each installment become very very long. Sorry, being a foreigner writing in another language can be very frustrating (as well as replying to reviews and struggling to find the words to express my thoughts).Thank you very much again. Best regards from Italy :)

Thank goodness the cure is on the way to Lucius.

Harry potter all grown up, and still bending the rules, who would have thought.

Uncle Severus! no wonder Harry nearly choked,

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

I'm glad you liked the chapter. Harry and his kids are going to play an important part in the next chapters, so be prepared.Thanks for leaving me a message.

Just imagine! Harry Potter circumventing the rules! ^_^

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Hi, happy to "see" you again!Thank you for leaving me a message.But... do I detect a sort of irony in your words? ;)

Response from MsTree (Reviewer)

Not really. I was just making a comment about how, even 20 years later, nothing ever changes. ^_^

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Exactly what I wanted to say

They're back on talking terms. Its the first step, even if Snape had wanted a larger one. 

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Yes, and this will lead to unexpected consequences.Just wait and see ;)Thank you very much for your review.

Response from Bettina (Reviewer)

Oh great; what more can we hope for in a story!? Waiting impatiently...

I'm not surprised that shw wouldn't speak to Albus. The wizarding world seems to shoot itself in the foot on a pretty regular basis with its selfishness, hatred and quest for power. There may have been more to her father's story that influenced others in their decision, but hopefully Portrait!Snape will be a better guardian of the information. With the way she behaved, I wonder if there is something in her father's grimoire that will bring Snape back to life?

Albus Severus was very interesting here, as ususal - it seems that peacetime is allowing the children to see a bit more than black and white at an earlier age.

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

I don't have a great opinion of the wizarding world as it is described by JKR. The use of magic seems to automatically bring them back in time, in a sort of refusal of everything that is different. The formulae that Snape is going to protect are very powerful. But they will reveal their power in a very peculiar way. Sorry, can't say more.I'm glad that you like Albus Severus. in this story, he is the personification of Hope. But all the kids in this story are positive characters. Thank you very much for leaving me a review.

Such a dilemma for Snape. How will you write him out of it, hmmm? ^_^

I hope you will like my next inventions, because I think that the story goes much more in depth from now on.Thank you very much for your support. I appreciate it a lot :-)

I can't help but feel a bit bad for Lucius, despite his verbal attack on Snape. Maybe now he's had the chance to confront him, he'll be bale to start moving on.

Response from Memory (Author of Second Chance)

Lucius has been very important in Snape's previous life. That's why they needed a confrontation. But mine is a story of hope, so... wait and see.

Ah, now I understand why he didn't wish to join the party! I hope Minerva does find out that it was all his idea :)
