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.

Just like I was in the beginning, I'm still completely captured by this story. Of all of the Time-Turner involved pieces I've ever read, this is my favorite by far. Thank you for writing it, and sharing it with us :) As always, I can't wait for your next update. Seeing the alert in my inbox always brings a smile to my face.

Thank you so much! :) That is such a lovely compliment since there are so many wonderful ones out there. I'll continue to do this one chapter a week. I'm dying over here, since it is finished and I know how it all ends!Thanks!Livvy
awww, considering the circumstances I believe that this chapter ended very well.. and sweetly :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! And on to fourth year! :)Thanks!Livvy
................i cant stand it i cant wait for severus and hermione to get back together
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh no! Well, it will be a while, but I will try to make it as interesting as possible!Thanks,Livvy
I think that even the potion Poppy gave Hermione will only work so much. The continued stress she's being put under is pretty much rendering the potion useless. We don't have much further to go before Hermione's back with Severus. I'm also looking forward to the Shrieking Shack, and how Hermione will react to seeing Sirius after so long.

Hee-hee. Watch for the next chapter!Thanks!Livvy
While combing through my emails I realized that I haven't left reviews for this chapter or chapter 32. I'm so sorry I'm not more prompt about this kind of thing. I read the updates from my cell phone while at work and then I forget when I get home to post the reviews. Reviewing from a cell phone can be a pain. Anyways. You know I think you're awesome and I totally love this story and I'm mad as hell about their situation but I know in my heart that you have it under control. Thank you so much for this wonderful tale. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! That is so sweet. I'm glad you have such confidence in me :) I do love a happy ending!Livvy
Yay another update! Thank you so much for keeping each and every chapter amazing livvy! You totally rock! I feel so bad for Hermione and what she must be going through in that young body of hers! That's just crazy thinking about it. I would go to Severus throwing a fit too! "Just Turn Me Back already!" I'm glad that they're going to get married like right away though. I can't wait! Thanks for the update! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, they won't be able to wait longer than necessary, I'm afraid. So they are now counting the days :)Thanks!Livvy
yike! how mega-frustrating! thanks so much
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I know, all this unresolved sexual tension! But, I promise to try and make the wedding get here as fast as I can!Thanks!Livvy
“Cunt-tease,” she snapped as she left him. --- Really, Livvy, this is no way for a young girl to talk. She sounds like a gutter tramp! Imagine sweet, straight-laced Hermione slipping while at home with her parents and saying something so trash-mouthed! They'd pale and faint. Gads, I feel so sorry for the poor girl. How many ways can she be ripped without turning suicidal!! One year, six months, and two weeks more until she's 16... she'll be totally unraveled!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
As if she is a young girl! LOL! She's 34 and tell Severus to go to the devil if she wants, she's really an adult. But yes, you won't find that coming from Hermione when she's with her "peers" or her parents.Thanks!Livvy
I would never ever want to live my teenage years again. I see it every day with the students I teach....way to many hormones for such young people. And a mind of a 34 year old....well I know that well too.....she must be going nuts.....Come on September 19,1995!Great job, can't wait for the next update.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter will be big and yes, they both are counting the days! :)Thanks!Livvy
Livvy, you've done a good job dealing with Hermione's feelings and memories of the past. It's a tough time for all of them. You've convincingly conveyed their struggles about her age and desires. It's going to be a long year and a half. Ron is such a baby and Harry is so young too.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It is going to be rough. But they will make it through.Wish I could say more, but next chapter will be really big.Thanks!Livvy
March 5th is my birthday... So what a great day for them to become kind of engaged again! Great chapter, I'm looking forward to more!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
March 5th is my husband's birthday! I'm glad you liked the chapter.Thanks!Livvy
Poor Hermione, she is really suffering but Severus seems to be coping well. Top marks for weaving your story into POA it works perfectly. Look forward to the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It's going to be a big one!Livvy
Poor girl. She should have hexed Ron at a much earlier age and much, much more often! Loved the magical bonding. Only a year and a half. Can't wait to see Won-won's face when she marries Severus on her birthday! Woo hoo!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, Ron may not always be the jerk he is now. Some things change. I wish I could say more, but I would ruin a lot of the plot.Thanks!Livvy
Can't Wait For the NEXT chapter... =-P
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hee-hee! The next chapter is gonna be good!Thanks!Livvy
Poor Hermione, she is a mess. Good on Sev for allowing her to stay overnight. :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
He can only take so much of seeing Hermione in pain. He knows what it's like to feel lonely. Thanks,Livvy
That's great -- Sev finally gets a date set for their wedding. He had been asking for that before Hermione told him about the time turner!Another good chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I hope you like the next one. It's going to be a big one!Livvy
Maybe it's me, but I understood the 'memory cell' thing. I can't get over how much Severus is holding her back as she tries desperately to cling. I know, he doesn't want to be with a 14 year-old. But still. Hermione's suffering was so acute in this chapter, but, Please forgive me, you kept reiteratig it. "She felt..." "she felt," I would have still gotten the loneliness, the segregation, the feeling out of place and misfit without the repetition. (ducks under desk) You write better than this. (peeks up for flying objects) No really, you don't normally bang on the head so much. I was surprised. Still, you packed a loads into a chapter, and coevered a great deal, still giving the familiar a new angle and view. I can see the 14 year-old in her, but not as much of the 34 year old - know, hormones. It was nice of Severus to comfort her finally. She needed that intimacy from him. Hope he allows for them to do that again.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! Don't worry. I appreciate your critcism. I do have a habit of doing that. Shellsnapeluver used to ream me for doing that! :) I'll have to remember to not overuse that.Yeah, Severus has a big issue with getting too close, as if he'll go over the edge. But it meant the world to Hermione to be close to him.Thanks!Livvy
I would certainly be "frustrated" to have to go through adolescence again. Not only with the hormones and the insecurities, but having to go through five more years of school that you already did? Yeesh! It's ALMOST a blessing that things will be exciting instead of monotonous.I'm really excited that there's only a year until Hermione's birthday. Where did the age of 16 come from? Is that the age of consent in England? Or the Wizarding World?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Sixteen is the age of consent. 17 is the Legal Wizarding Age. With the plot I have concocted, it would not work out for them not to marry until Hermione is seventeen.Thanks!Livvy
Excellent! I love the explanation. I feel so terrible for her though. Being a teenage is horrible enough without also having 'sexual peak' strength hormonal issues!! That poor thing! And to have her man right there in front of her... =] Lovely!! Rhiannon
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
And it will only get better, er, or worse, how you look at it. We've got the whole Viktor Krum and then she'll be looking more like a young woman than a child...lots of unresolved sexual tension coming this way :)Thanks!Livvy
I really do feel for Hermione :(Everything seems so bad, but at the same time,I know it will eventually get better as the years get on.I just hope it does soon :)And poor Severus - he's seems so lost.Great chapter! A~
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, things really are bad now, but they will muddle through, somehow.Thanks!Livvy
Being 14 again would really suck. I used to have nightmares about having to go back to high school. Hope I don't have one after reading this.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Me too! Yeah, no wonder Hermione is in a funk :)Thanks!Livvy
how many times have we said we'd like to younger knowing what we know now! there are definate drawbacks. great update. thanks so much
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! How true!Thanks,Livvy
with chapters like that - I can wait as long as necessary for the resolution!! Thanks so much - great work!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I'm glad you are willing to wait! It won't be terribly long, but I plan to make it interesting during the wait!Thanks!Livvy
Very well done Livvy, I see Hermione as an adult in everyway except for her current body. It would be hell to be in love and not be able to be with the one who loves you. It's hard to go backwards in a relationship. It's great that she and Severus are making decisions together. It would be better if they interacted as companions if Severus could wrap his feelings around the idea. Loved this chapter, one of my favorite stories, thanks.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! It is just plain hard for Severus to comprehend at this point. But, as she ages and becomes more like a young woman and not a child, he will start to loosen up and really work with her, as you said, companions, making decisions together. But of course not all the time because Snape is such an inherent control freak! ;)Thanks!Livvy
