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.

Hi Livvy. Just thought I'd let you know that I was wearing my wedding fascinator whilst reading this chapter with a hanky at the ready. That was lovely and the wedding night was very realistic in that Hermione was hesitant in her reaction to re-losing her virginity. After all she knew it had hurt the first time. Wonderfully written and well worth re-waiting for. I also like the edgy interaction with Sirius. His arrogance is very spiky. Thank you dear. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. You are right on with Sirius. He will continue to be a problem.Thanks!Livvy
I joined the Petulant Poetess group so I could finish your chapter. It was worth it. Thank you so much. And thank you for introducing me to this site.~Mia

Welcome!! I hope you will find even more interesting fics on this site. It's a great group here.Thanks!Livvy
It was a beautiful ceremony!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you!!Livvy
Sigh.....beautiful! I loved the "try..try again" approach to the wedding night. So sweet! Great Job!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I wanted it to be gentle and realistic.Livvy
A very sweet chapter, nice for things to take a different turn for a moment. But Sirus is such a PRAT!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh yes, Sirius will continue to be a problem.Thanks!Livvy
Lovely ceremony. I loved the use of memories to show the binding magic that has followed them throughout their lives.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I am glad you liked how I did the ceremony :)Thanks!Livvy
Finally they got married! The wedding was very romantic and maybe a bit emotional with all those memories? I can't believe Serius' behaviour! I wonder if this is going to become a problem in the future.., hmm.. I was also expecting to read a bit more at the ending, but well.. I'll have to wait for the next chapter.Hope you continue it soon!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Chapter 46 is almost ready to be put in the queue. As for Sirius, keep an eye on him. He will continue to be trouble.Thanks,Livvy
Well, well, well... If i didn't know better, I'd think that Sirius would love to have Hermione for himself... but I think he has so much animosity in his heart where Severus is concerned that he would do just about anything to mess up the happiness Severus has has found in Hermione's love for him. I don't think anything good can come from Sirius' hate for Severus, but I hope it causes problems for him and not for Severus and Hermione. He has always seen himself as being in competition with Severus, but I don't think it necessarily had anything to do with wanting what Severus had, he just wanted Severus to by miserable. Sirius is a pretty sick individual.
Finally their wedding day arrived, and I loved reliving their memories as they shared them with each other. Over the course of the passing years they had made binding vows to one another, and I liked seeing these remade as they became husband and wife. Hermione was a lovely bride, and it was clear from what Severus' said that he was so very happy to be married to her. "I give to this remarkable woman my love, my protection, and my respect." After they had retired to their bedroom for their wedding night, Severus was so gentle with her, and their joining was beautiful. The joy they knew had been worth all the waiting.
This is such a sweet chapter, and I'm so happy that they are now Mr and Mrs Snape. You have written it perfectly and with great feeling. Thank you.Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you. It took a lot of drafts to get the wedding night "just right". As for Sirius, you've got a pretty good handle on the situation. There will be trouble, and the animosity and trouble will eat its way into dividing a very strong friendship for two important people for a long time.Thanks!Livvy
Quite a beautiful ceremony. The afters was so much nicer than frantic fumblings, too. But, that Sirius Black! I think he doth protest to much! Maybe a little bit of jealousy going on there?? That scene in the kitchen was rather edgy.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Very edgy. And it's not going to get better. In fact, it will get to the point where an important friendship is altered forever.Thanks!Livvy
Romantic as hell!!!! However that was a pretty big space at the bottom of the page, I was hoping that said space would be filled as well.... know anyone who would be willing to do some deviant art?! ;) Fantastic job and mostly worth the wait, considering it took 45 chapters to get to it LOL.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I would LOVE to find someone with mad skills for a deviant art pic! No worries, There will be hot monkey sex coming soon, now that they are allowed to legally 'get in on!'Thanks!Livvy
That was amaizing. The time they spent apart seems to have made them akward with each other. They are in love, but don't really know the others body anymore.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It will just take time, just like any other couple who has been separated physically for long periods of time.Thanks!Livvy
Sirius is such a jerk! Great chapter, and thank you for not putting the wedding night in another chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, no! I could never do that! It would have been so cruel!Thanks!Livvy
I loved this chapter so much! Finally they can come together and be with each other honestly again! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! A~
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! Yes, it is comforting to know they are married and right now all is right in the world :)Thanks!Livvy
Very good chapter, I'm excited to see where we are going from here...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I am too :) I hope you like the direction I take it.Livvy
Gads Sirius is a berk.Lovely wedding. and I liked how he waited until she was ready.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks. Yes, that is how emotionally connected they are and how much they respect each other. When I wrote this, I couldn't see Hermione just getting into it when faced with a Severus older and a bit more intimidating once the moment arrived. I thought this would be more realistic.Thanks!Livvy
Leave it to Sirius to act childishly. I'm so glad the wedding went off beautifully, and that the witnesses understand and can appreciate all the years it took to get to this point. Thanks for updating!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
You are very welcome. Yes, Sirius is going to continue to be a problem.Thanks!Livvy
And now to tell the boys?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Nope, this is an Order secret. But Harry isn't exactly slow on the uptake. There will be a lot of dodging to do and maybe a few Obliviates :)Thanks!Livvy
It took 44 chapters until we reached the beginning of our story. How weird is that? I loved the entire journey and am really excited to see what comes next.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Not the beginning, just the apex of the journey towards getting married. But yes, I can see how it it is a new beginning.Thanks!Livvy
WOW...I loved how you did the wedding. This has been a long journey and it was nice to get the cliff notes version of their love up until now as a refresher. What a powerful ceremony! So nice that they can be out in the open if only in the company of the order. The wedding night was perfect as well. It would have been ruined by too much angst or romance or smut. It was just real and natural and beautiful. So happy for them that they made it this far. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you. My beta, WriterMerrin, worked with me so it wouldn't be confusing to read with all the Pensieve moments. I also wanted the wedding night to be tender. They are so close emotionally that the physical side just had to be passionate but tempered with gentleness and understanding. There'll be time for hot monkey sex later ;)Thanks!Livvy
Wow, awesome. This was so worth the wait. ThanksSevibaby
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)

Hey!! I love your story...I came accross it today..and i have read all of it and waiting for next chapter...Can't wait...keep it up, 5 stars for you...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! The next chapter will be up soon. Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
It must be really hard for Hermione to be so close to Harry all the time, and see parts of the two people she spent so much time with in the past. With all the pressure on her (pretending to be 16, pretending she does not know what's going on, having to be apart from her love), at least now she has her wedding to look forward to.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it is hard, and it will continue to be increasingly difficult, but, she will have Severus with her.Thanks!Livvy
Yay, another amazing update. I was so scared when they decided to come out to all the order members, I was seriously afraid there was going to be a huge to-do. It's so nice that they've got some support and I'm thrilled she busted out her engagement ring! I can't imagine not wearing my rings! I love having that symbol of "extremely taken" right there on my hand! And I think my husband appreciates it too, hahaha. I'm so glad the wedding is quickly approaching! Please update again soooooon! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I feel naked without my wedding rings! She will still have to hide it once school starts, but at least there are some people who know and she can talk to.When are you getting married?Thanks!Livvy
