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.
Reviews for A Change is Going to Come
Poor Severus, he's had to spend years without Hermione and killing Hermione just for the matter of days/a year. It's going to be a tricky and tough few years. I look forward to the journey.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it definately will be a journey. Wish I could say more, but I don't want to spoil things!Thanks!Livvy
two years will SEEM like forever to Severus with Hermione back now, now that Hermione also knows that past as well that is....
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it's going to be tough and trying for them, but they will hang on.Thanks!Livvy
Wow! oh the wait!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh yes, the agony of it all!Thanks,Livvy
*sniff sniff*Oh my, this is very emotional. I feel very sorry for poor Severus and Hermione.They are certainly going to have a tough couple of years.Looking forward to the next chapter!A~
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! Yes, VERY emotional times ahead.Thanks!Livvy
This is so bittersweet. Minerva's description of what all the years apart from her have done to Severus is so sad. When she went to see him and he treated her so coldly, I wanted to cry. I can see how difficult these next few years are going to be for them. Since that night in the professor's classroom, the only hint she has had that he truly remembers her is the note she received reminding her that "Love does not know time.” This is going to be a very long two years, and I'm not sure how easy it will be for them to be together even then.BTW, just how old is Hermione now? Twenty-four or thirty-four?Great chapter, Livvy! Thank you for this update.Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione is confused right now to her true age. My beta is completely confused, but she will find out with all of the time hopping, she is the same age as Severus-inside.Thanks!Livvy
Man, it's tough being thirteen again... Perceptive Harry, noticing Hermione's sudden lack of a summer tan! But he didn't follow up on it; Alastor Moody would be so disappointed in him if he knew.Glad that Hermione has Minerva as a confidante, so she can "be herself" once in a while. Hopefully that will help her get through having to relive the throes of adolescence once more.The birthday note from Severus was sweet, and a much-needed reminder for Hermione. However, I suspect that in two more years it's not going to be quite so easy for them as she may be thinking! Especially if events mimic canon close enough to where Sev has to kill Dumbledore and the Trio leaves Hogwarts.Looking forward to the next installment!

THIRD YEAR WILL BE CLOSE TO CANON, RIGHT UP TO THE END WHERE IT DEVIATES. WISH I COULD SAY MORE... BUT YOU ARE RIGHT. IT'S GOING TO BE HARD FOR THEM THESE NEXT TWO YEARS.THANKS!LIVVY
Very sad, yet sooo sweet! A lovely chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I know... it's going to be very hard for the both of them for these next two years.Thanks!Livvy
This is wonderful. It actaully makes more sense than that she was just a really mature 14 year old.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
My husband said that too when he read it. I'm glad you think so!Thanks!Livvy
this is so sad...i can't wait to see how she'll deal with it. thanks so much for the terrific update.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks. It will be hard, but they do truly love each other so deeply, they will find a way to struggle through.Thanks!Livvy
I just love this fic! You're very talented writer, congrats!Great chapter! The end, where Snape spokes with her in pain, it's just perfect.I'm anxious waiting more chapters!Sorry by my english mistakes!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Your english is fine! I'm glad you are enjoying it so much. The next chapter is in the queue and hopefully will be up in a few days.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I'd finally managed to catch up with all these wonderful updates! Excellent as always. I loved how cold Severus was to her younger self at the end. I look forward to the conflict that waits Hermione as she juggles her younger body and a cold Snape.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It is going to be a difficult road for both of them!Livvy
facinating, absolutely facinating. i like daglish. do we get to meet him again? thanks so much
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, we will see him again. I hope you enjoy their next meeting.Thanks!Livvy
I'm a little confused I think...So, the little girl HG disappears and then just reappears again because the original HG has returned. But if she is "Three weeks from fourteen" on the outside, but is the original girl that has lived all those years on the inside ... No, I don't get it. Does Little Girl HG live in a time loop now? Leaving her time and coming back or is the loop broken by coming back?It's the Time-Turner Tizzies again. I'm not going to think about it, just read the words and accept them as is.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione Granger disappears, going back to 1973. Hermione will be lying in wait for an hour until the other Hermione is gone. She will retrieve her wand, her books and go to bed, ready to start her life as a third-year. She will be 33 on the inside, 13 on the the outside and will rememeber everything of her life before returning to 1993. So, yes, a paradox, or a time loop has been created.I know, it can really boggle the mind!Thanks!Livvy
can't wait for the next chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It's up in the queue now.Livvy
Wow, she will be thirteen with the mind of a 33-year-old. Freaky. And just how will she explain her sudden change of heart and mind to Harry and Ron? This story keeps getting curiouser and curiouser...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
She won't. This is all going to be hush-hush which will make things more interesting!Thanks,Livvy
Love your new character!! And LOVE this chapter!! Feel so badly for them - yet enjoying the story so much!! Can't wait until next time -
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed reading what came out of my crazy imagination!Livvy
Fantastic, Livvy. I would love to go back to my teens with my adult mind. What's the saying........I wish I was eighteen again but knowing what I know now! Never a truer word spoken. How lucky for Hermione.I have the same fantasy. Alan Rickman was in rep in Manchester when I was about sixteen but I didn't know at the time. Couldn't I just whizz back and accost him at the Contact or Library theatres and shower him with the adulation he probably didn't get back then? He wouldn't have been able to resist me, but ..........two children and two grand-children later he might be able to. So....send a time-turner please to:
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
c/o The Petulant Poetess.Thank you. And thank you for this magnifcent story. Makes my day it does. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxxx.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! If I could, I would. It's going to be a long exercise in patience for Hermione, b/c now she'll have to deal with Ron and Harry with an adult mind!Thanks,Livvy
Great chapter. I do hope they can both cope with all this. Look forward to more.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It's going to be rocky. Third year is not going to be pretty.Thanks,Livvy
Great chapter!! This story is simply amazing!! I can't wai to read more!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Next chapter is in the queue. I know you continue to like it!Thanks!Livvy
Oh, very ingenous. A Renewing Youth Potion (if Severus figures it out - amn that one could make him rich!), a morphing Time Turner that could take months to finish... Very clever. And I can see where the 'anger' at little Hermione will come from - frustration and yearning, because she is the girl of the woman he loves and has to wait for her. I liked how you imagined the TIme Room to be, and the Time Keeper. Too bad he didn't elaborate on what he knew about Hermione, if he knew what she'd changed and what she'd hadn't. That would have been a really good discussion. maybe for a later chapter? hmmmm?BUt you knew saying age of consent is 16, when maturity is 17 in the wizarding world. Most sites frown on sex between Severus anh Hermione previous to her seventeenth birthday? Why then are you chosing 16 for Seveus to "take" her back into his bed? That could really mess up his position at school. Bylaws and all.Thank you, doll, for the dedication. That's sweet of you. I look forward to seeing what you come up next.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah! I'm glad you read the chapter. Horatius only knows what has been told him by the other Unspeakables, besides, I'm sure Snape has quite the reputation for being such a young Potions master.I chose sixteen because that is the age of consent. Severus will want her back with him as soon as it is legally kosher. Now, no one will know about them. It will remain a secret that they will have a bit of trouble with during fifth year. Things also will change. This won't all just be an over-view of JKR's story. You'll see what I mean later.Thanks!Livvy
So Hermione really will be able to go back to her youth knowing what her mature self knows. Should be very interesting and aggravating for her and Severus.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh yes! The fur will fly. It's not going to be pretty.Thanks!Livvy
Interesting. I feel like Hermione going back is going to be awkwardly entertaining. And who'll be waiting for her, Remus and Severus. Ugh. Fun times at Hogwarts. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It will entertaining... especially with an annoyed and pissy Hermione and a really mean and put-out Snape. Thanks!Livvy
Wonderful chapter! I can just imagine young Hermione with such an adult mind, which explains a lot about her character in canon. It’s going to be torture for her and Severus to stay away from each other until she’s sixteen, but I won’t deny that I’m looking forward to that delicious sort of anguish. She may not think that she won’t be ready at sixteen to engage a grown wizard, but I bet that after so long of staying away from each other, she’s going to be more than ready when she’s of age.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I agree. And with that in mind, she will be really, really randy, and it's not pretty when Hermione's angry. Lots o' drama!Thanks,Livvy
Great chapter! Loved the Time Room and Horatius the Time-Keeper--I can see Hermione deciding to become an Unspeakable herself after her brief look into the Department of Mysteries...An adult mind in a teenage body, and Severus having to watch a child grow up all over again... sheer torture for both of them. No one should ever have to go through adolescense and bad skin twice! Can't wait to see what comes of this.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, yes, it's not going to be pretty...at least her third-year. That's going to be really bad!Glad you enjoyed the trip into the Dept. of Mysteries!Thanks,Livvy
Mmm, I wish there was another answer. I know I would never want to be deaged! What torture for the both of them. However, I commend you on your imagination. I can see an older Hermione in a teenage body as being the answer for much of her adult-like tendencies in future years.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
It was really fun to write some of the scenes with her and the boys. It just made sense that she knew everything and could pass it off as being in Hogwarts, A History!Thanks!Livvy
