Young Severus moons over his snarky Potions mistress and admits to Harry and Ron he has a crush on Professor Granger. He decides to approach her. Too bad he doesn't know what he's doing.

Young grandma of 6.5 with too much time on her hands, absolutely gah-gah over Severus Snape. Writes AU SS/HG SS/OFC usually all NC-17. Some really do like it hot after all ;)

Boy, was that AU.
Oh, you're submitting this in TPP! Great!I've read this from your site but it'll be lovely to read it again and leave review here. You certainly deserve all 5 stars!
Iiiiiiiinteresting!!! Quite entertaining, actually! I like this version of AU :)
At first I was a bit confused with who was friends with whom, but notwithstanding that I am finding this a really refreshing read. I also love the slightly different dynamic between the three gryffindors - Now all male. The way you have written it it seems natural that Snape would tell his male buddies he had a crush on the potions' prof, but when it is Hermione it seems odd that she would tell Harry and Ron (males), even though they are her best friends. Snape as a Gryffindor and Hermione as a Slytherin has altered their personas somewhat but you have done it so well it merges seemlessly with their non-AU personas that they do not seem OOC.Looking forward to seeing where this goes.Cheers
Then she's going to kill him? Poor Severus. That was a noble thing he did, rather ignobly.
In my opinion, Severus should have castrated Lucius while he was at it: someone who obviously enjoys torturing others that much must be stopped!

. . . but I couldn't bring myself to write Severus doing it. Maybe if he had been a Slytherin . . .

Well, if she's been Obliviated, how does she NOT know it was Severus? And how much of her memory has been destroyed that her first suspect isn't Lucius?Also, Severus is quite conveniently brewing Polyjuice, hmm?
Response from Ms_Figg (Author of In an Alternate Universe)
Well, I imagine it's a matter of nature. Severus works so hard at trying to seduce her, that rape on his part would be out of character. He wants her to want him. He's brewing Polyjuice, but . . . eh . . . it's to prove he can cut the brewing time. His reaction is probably what cleared him in her mind. He isn't or doesn't seem the type capable of rape. Not the Gryffindor. We don't know what was going through Hwemione's mind other than taking care of her injuries first. She could have thought of Lucius given time, and probably would have, but the hairs proved it first. At least, that's how I saw it. Thank you for your comments.

I enjoyed the the tree scene, brought tears to my eyes. Haha, and I love Severus's eagerness, it's adorable.Can't wait for the next chapter!
The musical interlude was priceless. I don't think I've ever chuckled so hard at a HP fic before.
Wow! That is quite the alternate universe, for sure! Looks very interesting! :)
Reversing the roles of Snape and Hermione... what a cool concept! I'm thoroughly enjoying it thus far. :)
Hum. I guess his chances of winning her are not all bad...
BWAHAHAHAHAHA! The music! That was *fantastic*!*dies*And yay for a guy who throws himself into reading (I've actually dated a guy who was a virgin, and he was quite talented with his tongue!)
That was quite a lovely chapter, even with her reticence.
LOL is right. I just love the way this story reads. I can't wait until they get to the shagging. Thanks for the story!
This was so enjoyable to read. I laughed, chuckled, and chortled throughout. You are making your plot idea, the reversed roles, work out very well.
That was actually quite amusing.
Hahahaha.. I love it! Can't wait for the next chapter.
I love your stories, Ms. Figg!
This fic is so touching... and so damn hilarious that I've embarrassed myself by reading it with other people in the room - my new flatmate is starting to think me a cackling madwoman. :) It's hard enough being a teacher, especially a moody one, without some silly student trying to get all up ons. Thank goodness wizards' oaths are fictional!That said, I love your characterisations here. Such an interesting idea, to reverse Severus' and Hermione's roles! Snape as the eager ingenue is an oddly compelling picture. ;-)
its realy great i love it keep writing
Oh dear. I really wanna read the next bit!
I really find it striking how you can take all the fanon cliches and turn them 180 degrees in such a way that it highlights how utterly ridiculous some of them are. ;)
