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.

Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.

Poor Severus and it's not like the year will get better.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
You got that right. Things are going to be at an all-time low soon.Thanks,Livvy
I love your Severus! He is just so in character as himself and any other man who was 'interrupted'. LOL
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
True! No man wants to be interrrupted at that time!Thanks!Livvy
I've been catching up on my reading from August and skipped a few chapters in my haste to read your story. It's simply wonderful and I've enjoyed seeing Severus and Hermione together again. It's been a long time for them and it's lovely to see them so happy together. Livvy, you're writing a wonderful story and I'm so happy to read it.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you so much. I admit, as much as I have put into it, WriterMerrin and luvsev have been excellent betas! I hope you keep enoying the fic :)Thanks!Livvy
wonderful! i adore how you've combined your story with ootp. great stuff. thanks muchly
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I fear it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but as the chapters go by, less and less will Hermioe's life be like canon.Thanks!Livvy
Fantastic update. I love that they are finally able to express their needs and desires for each other without restraint. Lovely! :D p.s. (Umbridge is vile; I can't wait until she gets hers.)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Umbridge will get hers.THanks!Livvy
Finally! I've been waiting to read more of this story and this chapter was great! I don't know why but it looks like difficult times are coming, am I right? .. Its just a feeling I have, but I know I will have to wait! Hope you continue with the story soon, I like it a lot :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, trouble is around the corner. Trouble that will have repercussions for the rest of the fic.Thanks!Livvy
When Harry was showing his temper with Hermione in the Great Hall, I really liked the way she put him in his place with a few reminders of how he should be behaving instead of causing himself more trouble and quarreling with his friends.I couldn't be happier for Severus and Hermione! The time they have together now is glorious, and I'm glad that they are able to explore their love life and find ways to make each other happy. When they were making love and Severus told her how much he needed to hear her say that she would never forsake him, I felt a shiver move over me at her reply, “Severus, I will never abandon you. Only death can take me from you, and then, in death, we will be reunited. I will never give up on you. Even if the world turns its back on you, I will be your champion. My love will never end,” she swore. When I read what she said, all I could think about was Nagini. Oh, dear god, not that. Not that! Please protect them. BTW, I love your story!Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Severus and Hermione will go through a couple more things that will severely test their love- to the point that Hermione will think it is over, and Severus has left her for good.Thanks,Livvy
I hate it when she and Harry are at odds. So nice that Severus can spare her a bit...during daylight hours only :) She is going to have to remember that she doesn't know too much dueling magic when they start the DA. Is Harry already getting curious about Snape and Hermione, or was he just making a lucky guess during his little fit? I really liked their conversation at the end when they are revealing fantasies and such. They are really bold with moments of shyness which is oh so sweet. I think they are slowly settling into their relationship from years gone by. Yeah them! Why do I know that all is not right in the world for long...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Harry can be stubborn and rash, but he isn't stupid. He can think logically. There will suspicions and problems. He will continue being at odds with Hermione for a while. I wish I could say that all will be resolved within the year, but it won't. Things will get much worse. Trouble is around the corner and will have far-reaching consequences.Thanks,Livvy
Can we castrate Tobias? What a evil man... thank heavens Severus helped Hermione out. Does Dumbeldore know just what a prize Sev's parents are? In canon he wasn't particularly good at protecting his students. Severus was used and he must have known that Harry's relatives were at best neglectful and at worse outright abusive...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Tobias will get his. DD knows to an extent the problems at the Snape house, but he can't help but throw out a lifeline to Severus, to give him someone that will stay with him when he is gone from Hogwarts. Hermione is like Severus-without a real home.Thanks,Livvy
Lilly strikes me as an insecure woman in this chapter and I wonder why she's into Hermione the way she is? Is she a bisexual?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Lily doesn't know what she is yet. She realizes that she has some kind of sexual hold over Severus and other boys. I think she is very curious at this point, and Hermione is a safe person that she is attracted to and also curious about herself.Thanks,Livvy
It is so interesting to see Hermione 'knowing' the marauders even though she doesn't have all the facts. She 'knows' Sirius is the one who betrayed James and Lilly. I wonder what she will think after time tells it's own tale.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I thought how interesting it would be to have Hermione go back without the knowledge that Sirius was innocent. Unfortunately, after his escape and return, the rancor between them will not go away forever.Thanks,Livvy
Very enjoyable start, although Hermione is lucky she didn't get addicted to the cocaine.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The cocaine is all a prop for her. Although she will get an urge in the future for some, but she won't take it.Thanks,Livvy
What a brilliant chapter. The interactions between Severus and Hermione are beautiful. Keep the chapters coming.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Will do!Thanks!Livvy
I'll make this short, simple and sweet in just two words... "LOVING IT!!!"
Keep the chapters coming and NEVER let the story end lol
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL!!! We still have a ways to go. Not over yet by a long shot!Thanks!Livvy
AWW!! I just loved it. "I'm your girl and you are my boy." AWW!!!!!! So sappy so cute...I loved it.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I wanted to make it clear that when are together, Severus sees her as an equal. It's not icky when he calls her "his girl" because he is "her boy". Glad you liked that!THanks!Livvy
It's good that she is connecting with Harry again. I hoep this time around the DA is larger and Severus gives a hand - even indirectly!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, we'll see what can be done. Thanks!Livvy
Another great chapter. I look forward to your updates. I like seeing things from Hermione's view. Especially her inter actions with both Umbridge and Harry.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you so much! Things are going to get really complicated with Harry soon!Thanks,Livvy
Just keep on reassuring him, Hermione. He's going to need all he can get. :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
So true! Hope that Harry will listen!Thanks,Livvy
What an absolutely beautiful chapter. I thought the wedding night was a pinnacle, but this one ranks right up there with it! I love this story. I'm sorry that Sirius is being such an ass still, but I'm loving the change in the relationship between Hermione and her friends and how she's doing her best to bolster Harry's self-esteem. Severus brought up the fact that Dumbledore will ask him to teach Harry Occlumency, and I'm wondering how those sessions will play out in this altered timeline! Severus has a lot more memories to store in a Pensieve than just the one with Lily and the Marauders... will Harry see Hermione with a teenaged Severus? I can't wait until we get to that point, so that I can find out!Great work, and I eagerly await the next chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, yes! Occlumency with Snape. That will be an eye-opener for Harry, and a HUGE problem for Hermione and Severus.Thanks,Livvy
Dayamn and wow. I am awed and exhausted by that chapter. You dried up all my words. Simply, thank you. Truly.~Mia
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I'm glad you liked it. These two have SO much to make up for!Thanks,Livvy

Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)

I read this chapter at Ashwinder..and believe me the ending there really just killed the joy for them...of waiting so long...finally getting married and then...nothing...not lovemaking..that was really sad...i cudnt wait for u to write next chapter and post it there.....so even though i didnt had any account at Petulant Poetess...i made one..just so that i cud read the proper ending of this chapter...it was really great!!.....a job well done......now lets see how do they end this war together!....good luck for more plot bunnies....
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it was really hard how to go about doing the whole thing. I will have to work on more graceful endings until Hermione is seventeen. Thanks for coming over here and posting!Thanks!Livvy
