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
Things appear to be too good. I'm a little concerned as to what you have in store for them. Have they told Dumbledore of their plans? Won't marrying her blow Snape's cover?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah, and there is that bothersome matter of her being from a different timeline, as well... Next chapter will be the reveal. Hermione will come clean to Severus and then his reaction.Thanks!
An evil part of me wanted Remus to sweep her up into his arms, but I'm happy there is a sense of calm. Nice work, as always. Can't wait for the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Sacrilege! LOL! Yes...sense of calm before the storm.Thanks!Livvy
Great chapter!!! Your plot is so thick, so thought through, yet so fitting, I love it more with each chapter!! So, will the truth get out, or will something else happen? I'm excited!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter will be the big one where she tells Severus the truth.Thanks!Livvy
A very 'comfortable' chapter - showing the normalcy of their relationship. It also ties in well with canon events and characters. Hermione is being a bit cowardly not telling Severus about the time issue. Hmmm.Great writing as per usual and I am looking forward to the next chapter.Cheers.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, and as we know, Hermione doesn't like to withhold info like this! So, next chapter she will come clean while on their vacation. We'll see how Severus reacts!Thanks!Livvy
At least Hermione has been reunited with Severus and they can finally be together openly.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
As much as Hermione can feel comfortable with. She still doesn't want to mess with people's timelines, so she's keeping a low profile. But yes, they can at least in Hogwarts be themselves and not worry.Thanks!Livvy
Oh, it was hilarious how this chapter began. I'm sure waking up with Professor Snape stalking towards you would be a little disconcerting. And yet it was so fun. And then I had to deal with stupid Mad-Eye who wants my foot up his bum. What a crotchety man. I seriously wish at times she would change something for the better. But at the same time I keep telling myself that she already changed Severus for the better. Anyways. Please update again soon. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Hermione has done wonders for him. We'll see how he does once he finds out Hermione's time-hopping secret :)Thanks!Livvy
OMG, this was so awesome. I was soooo happy that they finally got to be together. And it was so lovey-dovey at the end and it just wanted to make my Hufflepuff heart burst. I'm seriously worried about how he's going to handle finding out where she actually came from. Thank you for finally bringing them back to eachother. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Hermione will be seriously stressing over it. Soon she'll tell him.Thanks!Livvy
Oh my, she's still in the thick of things, somehow I imagined the Longbottoms were already hurt. Time is closing in on her and I'm still wondering how long she can remain with Severus. Masterful storytelling and I'm on pins and needles for the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione's guilt will be too much for her and soon she will tell Severus the whole truth.Thanks!Livvy
You've written a lovely reunion. I'm so glad they have a time for themselves. I have a lot of questions about what happens now and will there be a young Hermione for Harry later but will wait and see what happens. I've gotten behind and happily there is another chapter for me to read.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, Severus and Hermione needed their time for themselves without any worries about the future. Soon there will be a big reveal about what is going to happen with Hermione and going back to her original timeline.Thanks!Livvy
This has been an awesome story so far. As a loyal reader I am so looking forward to a refreshing lemonade. Yeah, Livvy6.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I can't wait for y'all to read the next chapter either!Thanks,Livvy
Oh God. I knew that scene from Chapter 1 was going to happen eventually but, it still ripped my heart out reading it in "real time". Knowing how it came to pass and everything. I do have to say that knowing that a lemon grove is almost upon us does warm my heart. I'm such a sucker for some smut. Seriously what a very great and heart-wrenching chapter. Of course as always, I can't wait for more! Much Love ~ Brena
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I love good smut as well ;) I can't wait for our two star-crossed lovers to finally be reunited.Thanks,Livvy
Oh this was so sad. I wanted to slap Severus, too, when he went on about Lily. I can see why Hermine has lost hope.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah, that was real cold. Next chapter we will see how they resolve things between them after three years.Thanks,Livvy
Very powerful chapter. Thank you! I can not wait for the next chapter... not just for lemons either ;)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It's going to be very a personal and (i think) powerful reunion for them after three years.Thanks,Livvy
That was awful, in a good way. How have you done this? I knew how it would come out, you even put it in the note at the first - and I still sobbed like a baby! Devious. *bows* Well done, dearest. Very fitting way to fill in the circle. =] Now about those lemons...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes... three years and big fight can really clear up the air. Next chapter: SEX! *wicked grin*Thanks!Livvy
Oh, gads, livvy, that was so hard! I'm still bawling. But to be completely honest, it was a bit better than I expected. I was expecting Severus to lash out at her and say more awful things. I'm glad he didn't. One thing I honestly don't get is why she turned to drugs and stuff in the Muggle world. It's one thing to leave the wizarding world to prevent knowlege of the future. I think she's probably right to do so. But she seems stronger willed than to let herself fall into the drug/alcohol/slut trap.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, after three years, a girl's bound to start gettin' a bit downhearted. Plus, her main focus now is to "fit in" the surroundings...lots of drugs back then were going on in the discos. She is not an addict. She is trying to be on the "look-out" for trolling Death Eaters, hence the reason she spotted Malfoy and Severus. Also, as it was said in the 1st chapter, the cocaine gave her the boldness she felt she needed to do what she needed to do.As for the slut trap, she was more of a tease than a slut because when Severus started kissing and touching her thigh and chest, it had been the farthest she had ever gone with a guy. So she wasn't a slut. She's still a virgin...but definitely a tease!Thanks, I'm glad you liked the chapter!Livvy
Poor Hermione, Severus is ensnared by his pride and ambition. The Slytherins were brutal in their attack on her and it was sad to see that she thinks it could have been worse. Wonder what Severus thought about what happened? Knowing his words hurt her, then his Slytherins hurt her.
Dang, intense chapter, I can't wait for the next. Well done.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione knew the score. She always warned the others not to engage Slytherin and then she bitch slaps Severus in front of all and sundry. Head of Slytherin, even! She knew she was in for a good thrashing. It could have been worse-much worse. They could have put her in St. Mungo's and out of commission, but it shows how Regulus' heart is starting not to be into things so much now. He's moving slowly away from Voldemort.Thanks,Livvy
Gah, a cliffhanger! Does it pick up where chapter one left off? Do we see bits of those three years in between first? Does Hermione ever get back to her time? The suspense is killing me! I'll be waiting, same bat time, same bat channel.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
We will start next chapter will Hermione's reunion with Snape because the first chapter dealt with what she was doing those three years. Does Hermione ever get back to her time? That is a very good question and will be answered in due course :)Thanks,Livvy
wow - lady, you are incredible - can not wait to see the next chapter and have it come full circle - really nice job with this work - thanks for all you do
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I hope you like the next chapter. We're not even half-way done! This is so much fun. Each chapter that comes out, I'll be waiting at the computer to read all the reactions. Knowing its done makes it even better because I know how really crazy things are going to get! :)Thanks!Livvy
Response from mom7knox (Reviewer)
Yea to the "not even half way done"! You should get double credit for your double story!! Excited to see how you spin this one lady!
Hello, Livvy!
It's a long time since my last review - I'm a little bit reluctant to write reviews since English is a foreign language for me - but I'm eagerly tracking your story!
After reading chapter 23 I've reread the first chapter - this time with much more understanding and emotion. It's quite fascinating to follow your storyline and I can't wait to find out, how this story will unfold from now on. So please, update soon!(As for the last chapter: It was quite understandable, that the almost supernatural strong Hermione broke down in despair when she learned of Severus jealousy related to Lily. Poor girl!)Regards,

Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hey!Thanks for reviewing. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I hope you keep liking where I take this fic.Thanks!Livvy
It appears all has happened as it must. I am anxious for Severus' wellfare not only physically, but psychologically. He has not only lost Lily, but feels he has been foresaken by Hermione as well. It appears in your world this is the trigger that truly sends him over the edge.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
The next chapter will have their reunion at Hogwarts. I hope you will enjoy it.Thanks!Livvy
So now she waits... :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes. For three long years.Thanks,Livvy
You have built this up perfectly, another wonderful chapter. You say lemons? Highly look forward to the next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh yes! Lemons on the way. I think they've waited and suffered long enough. :)Thanks!Livvy
Quite frankly Livvy, this is all too clever for me. How can I put this? I stopped watching all the UK soaps years ago because I couldn't be bothered with all the kids' and teenagers stories in them. I was never really in to "time-turner" stories for this reason. And I only really got into HP and the books after I saw the POA film and realised Alan Rickman was in it. But you've done my nut in. Your story is totally COMPULSIVE and yes....it's fantastic to note that you're just about half-way through. Thank you for this rite of passage into the time travel genre which will make me look at this device with a bit more of an open mind from now on. Best wishes, Love Ali xxxx.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Awww *blushes* Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying this so much because there are some great TT fics out there. My husband got me into HP, and I was reading Book 4 when the 1st movie came out, and it was during the Potions scene I started smacking and pulling on my husband's arm, hissing; "Don't you know who that is?!?!" He said, "No." And looked at me like I was insane. I was like Hermione, bouncing in my theater seat thinking, "Ohmygoshohmygosh!!!! It's Alan Rickman!!!!!! It solidified my love for all thing HP from that point on! :)Thanks,Livvy
Wow, great, intense and perfect. Everything is coming together so neatly, your writing is just amazing!!! I'm sooooo looking forward to the next chapter!!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I hope the next chapter lives up to all the build-up :)Thanks,Livvy
To restate what previous review said I am not so anxious for the lemons but for the story! I check every day for updates and LOVE every one of them. You mentioned earlier that this story is already written, I'm just wondering how many chapers this story has. I am sooo excited to see where this goes!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
This story is not half-way through yet. I'm still dividing the last pages into chapters, It looks it will be in the 70's. So, we got a lot more drama ahead!Thanks,Livvy
