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 expect she'll spend a lot of time back and forth between tears and laughter... at least I hope there'll be some laughter! Thanks for the update.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, there will be a lot of that! Yes, laughter too, I promise. But more than that, she will find contentment and happiness.Livvy

Great chapter!!! She gets his sense of humor! And now the foundation of friendship has been laid. I can't wait to find out where your tale is going!Beth

This chapter was so heartbreaking and so sensative at the same time that it made me cry and smile and want to comfort them, their budding friendship was heart warming. So looking forward to the next chapter.

I'm glad you liked it, they will grow in their friendship over the next three chapters as they try to heal from the losses.Thanks,Livvy

I'm glad you aren't writing them as severely depressed and as angsty as other authors write. It gives some sort of hope towards the future. Good Job!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thank you. It was a bigdecision on my part. They will have their moments, but overall, the need to press on and the knowledge all they have is each other to really confide in about surviving will give them strength. Not to mention the soon to be sexual tension that will unfold will be very distracting so they won't fall too desperately into a funk :)Thanks,Livvy

Exciting start, although I am sad that everyone is dead.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Yes, it is quite sad, however, I do hope that the new characters coming and the intrigue and marriage that is kind of "forced" upon Severus and Hermione will make up for it.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy

Good chapter, I liked the bit where she realised he did actually have a senese of humour.

Hehe, I am the first!
And I am looking forward to the development of their healing process. Let's just hope that Professor Snape is wrong in his assessment.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Ever the pessimist, our Severus! - hey, that rhymed! LOL!Don't worry, Kingsley will take care of that. When this fic gets underway, though, Severus may wish at times he had been sent to Azkaban ;)Livvy

Nice chapter altough it was a bit short! My my.. Hermy and Sev have a lot to take care for in the future, will they have time for romance??One thing's for sure, Sev won't be able to give much detention in the future he won't have the time *grin*Poor house elves, Hermione will be hartbroken!Looking forward to your next chapter. (make it a bit longer, please *smiles sweetly and battens eyelashes*)
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Oh, yes! Believe me, there will be time for lots of smut and lemony goodness! The next chapter will be longer and will have the first interaction and conversation between Snape and Hermione. This is not a short fic, thirty+ chapters, enough for lots of intrigue, drama, romance, and lots of sex - I promise :)Livvy

I know this must have been a very difficult chapter to write, but you handled it with aplomb. Kingsley handled his very heartbreaking tasks as well as anyone could have.Again, the detail you included in your narrative give a firm foundation for the story to follow.Very well written.Beth

That's so devasting! I'm excited to see where you are leading with this and why they lived when the others didn't.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thanks for reviewing! I hope it doesn't come across anti-climactic, for Severus at least. He was just unconscious and out of the killing curse zone, however Hermione's survival is more exciting and devestating for her.Livvy

Amazing. This story has captured my interest. What a dramatic and heart-rending beginning -- all of the Weasleys? I can't even imagine. I look forward to seeing where you go from here with this wonderful story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
Thank you. So far I am very pleased with the reception this fic has gotten. There will be numerous OCs while still keeping around those we know and love to cause trouble:)Next chapter will be more of Severus and Hermione's interaction.Livvy

Thanks for the quick update! I like the feel of this chapter - businesslike while acknowledging unbearable grief. It's an interesting twist that our two main characters are still both unconscious for it. Thanks for responding to my initial review, and I'll be watching for more

I think you handled the realities of war very well. This was very sad to read and I'm sure very sad to write, but you did an excellent job.I'm looking forward to more of this marvelous tale.

This seems so far to be the most realistic look at the after-effects of a war (or at least a devastating battle) that I've seen in fanfiction, usually it's along the lines of '(#) months later...' if the transition period is mentioned at all, otherwise it just seems to be 'business as usual' with maybe a few missing people at whatever dinner table the main character happens to be at...Very interesting so far! I'm looking forward to what happens when they (wake up) and start rebuilding.

Wow. I'm sorry I really am terrible at leaving reviews, especially when a story captures my attention like this one and all I can think of saying is...wow...lol I feel like an idiot. I'm captivated with the plotline, can't wait to read more! :)

This is so hard on everyone. Poor Kingsley. And I'm sure that Hermione and Severus will be filled with survivor's guilt.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Bookends)
It will be hard for a while, however, they will have each other and will find comfort in that. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy

Thank you so much for the update. It was dark, but necessarily so with regards to the theme. You had Kingsley handling things very, very well, I liked that! Just as I loved that Andromeda and Teddy will never have to worry about money again, I loved that the Malfoy elves went to Hogwarths. Most happy was I though with Hermione being aknowlegded as Harry's closest of kin and the one who would handle his funural and estate. As hard as it will be for her, equally so she will aknowlegde that letting any of the Dursley's handling this task would be an insult towards Harry and what he ment for the Wizarding world! All in all, a "hard" chapter very well handled and I look forward to read more!!!

Oh, thank you. It was hard to write, but so necessary to get the little details down so I could focus on Snape and Hermione's relationship without the backstory nagging me.Livvy
