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.

LOL. I love that Severus doesn't always get what he wants. :)

He-he. Me too!Thanks!Livvy
Yay for an update! Another fabulous chapter but I have to admit, I was a little sad when Hermione put on her nightgown. :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, well every married couple has their moments :)Thanks!Livvy
I love the way Hermione is able to put Harry in his place. The way she deals with him has the maturity of a 36 year 36 year old woman, but in the gentle way of an equal friend. I'm quite sure Snape is more willing to share her now he has her to himself all night!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione is really struggling with Harry, but she has Severus on her side to be there - even if sometimes even they don't see eye to eye.Thanks!Livvy
I'm glad she got through to Harry. And her thoughts at the end were truly beautiful.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you. It's going to continue to be a struggle to keep Harry focused.Livvy
need more.Seriously. I have been looking for a good time turner piece for a while and this is one of the best that I've come across.are you planning on continuing with some of the cannon from HBP and DH after OTP??? I have a hard time imagining how Sev's and Hermione's relationship would be able to survive those books but still....I can't wait :D
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks!! I will work with snippets of canon with HBP and DH, but Hermione's life will be radically different. DH will not even really mention much of canon, just bits and pieces, but again, Hermione's life won't be even close as to what was going on with canon.I hope you continue to enjoy this fic!Thanks,Livvy
I loved this fic! I've spent all my spare time reading it this week. Thank you for such an amazing story! It really was an emotional roller coaster that I thoroughly enjoyed.
That is one of my favorite Elton John's songs. It was big when my then fiance and I were in seperate cities as I was away at college. He and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this past August {2011). I hear that song and all of a sudden I'm 19 again and missing my Dave.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Aww! My husband and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary in August this year! I'm glad I was able to write the chapter that could bring back so much nostalgia for you. That was my idea when writing it.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Percy is being the loyal underling to Minister Fudge, and Sirius is being Sirius... why can't those two get their heads on straight! With Umbridge coming to Hogwarts as the DADA professor, there will be much sneaking around for Hermione and Severus. Oh, I can't wait for the wedding! Hermione will be a beautiful bride. And Severus... he'll be drop-dead gorgeous. I know both of them must be champing at the bit to get on with it.I hope Harry will be able to rein in his temper. With Umbridge around, he'll get called down every time he even looks funny at her.I am sooooo ready for this next chapter! Way to go, Livvy!Beth
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it's time for Severus and Hermione to get married. I just hope everyone likes how I wrote the ceremony and wedding night. After all, I do owe everyone some quality lemons ;)Thanks,Livvy
Wow. I started reading this story back in the day when you began it and then I sort of drifted away from fandom for a fair bit. I came back to the site recently and saw that your fic was now finished -- a whopping 74 chapters! -- and sat and read it straight through. It took about two days (no house cleaning this weekend) and I laughed and cried (and CRIED) and smiled. It's wonderful. Thank you so very much for writing it, for taking the time to craft such a strong narrative and for putting the time and effort into what is truly a huge accomplishment. After all your SS and HG have gone through, the ending was well-deserved and sweet and wonderful. Thanks again :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, it took two and a half years of my life. I think I will always think of HG/SS in that light. Sometimes I can't believe it is over, but then I get a review like you and remember it's still out there for people to still enjoy.Thanks for your review!Livvy
Omg. How much do I love this story, seriously this is just awesome. You've managed to capture the cranky, crappyness of the beginning of OoTP without making us truly suffer. THANK YOU! And OMG, The wedding is coming! I can't wait! Please update again soon! Much Love ~ Brena

My beta is working her magic as we speak. I should have it in the queue by Friday or Saturday. Thanks!Livvy
Another great chapter, Livvy. How is she keeping it all together? Hermione is under so much pressure as it is and soon she'll be married. Good luck to them.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione has always found solace in work. She'll manage. Next chapter! Whoo-hoo!Thanks!Livvy
I'm glad Hermione has the wedding and the wedding night to look forward to, give her a break from 'Harry the Hot head'! Great chapter as ever.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Agreed!Thanks,Livvy
Oh, Brother! Well, I think everybody knew that Harry was going to be ticked off with Hermione for doing Order stuff anyways. He's too young to appreciate how serious the situation really is. I'm looking forward to the wedding and dreading the appearance of Umbridge in equal measure. Let's see if she and Severus can survive both of them without hexing anyone. Excellent update! :D
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! Yes, Harry will continue to be a problem.Thanks!Livvy
Another great chapter Livvy... Do you get tired of hearing that? Hehe. I can't wait for the wedding night!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Never! It gives me reassurance to keep posting, that people do like it. Yes, I hope the next chapter will have been worth the wait!Thanks!Livvy
Great chapter! I'm really excited about what is to come!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks!Livvy
Excellent as usual - I can't wait for the Wedding night though - the waiting is killing me.... I also wanna see Harry's reaction - eventually. You're comments in the reviews are both helpful and driving me nuts with excitement - that I once again have to wait for LOL
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, I do love evil cliffies sometimes! Thanks!Livvy
This is great as always. I am looking forward to the wedding and hopefully they will get a little respite before the next drama comes their way. Can't wait for more! I'd tell you that I will be waiting patiently for the next chapter...but I don't want to lie. Keep 'em coming
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
My beta and I will be working hard at this. Should be in the queue by Friday night or Saturday!I hope it will have been worth the wait! :)Thanks,Livvy
good, as always. i still think that severus and hermione should try to come up with a potion after her seventh year that will re age her to the age she really is. :D
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
A woman? Take away her youth? Perish the thought!! ;)Thanks!Livvy
Sirius is such a prat! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, yes! And he will be proving it increasingly as time goes by.Thanks!Livvy
I actually felt sorry for Dung. Great chapter. It made a really shitty day better.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! Sorry you had a bad day. I hate those! Thanks,Livvy
Can’t wait for the wedding – I’m so excited! I imagine there’s going to be a lot more lovin’ going on after the honeymoon. Ay, look at me, it sounds like I only have one thing on my mind… well, I do! :P Great chapter as always, and please don’t make us wait too long, although I’ll faithfully wait any time necessary. This is a truly superb piece of work, and I’m constantly recommending it to everyone left and right!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you so much for spreading my fic around. That means so much that you really like it! Yes, I have been working hard and will continue for the next two to three days to get this next chapter worth the reunion it needs! And of course, no wedding is complete without the wedding night!!! :)Thanks,Livvy
Well at this point I pretty much just skim over the italics parts. I still think Mung got off easy for abandoning his post. You hardly had any Severus and Hermione interactions, just some looks and wishful thinking. *sigh* Are you going to ditch the books yet or sill simi-follow canon? I can't wait until she moves into his rooms.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I will partly follow canon, just a basic storyline and then deviate where it happens. There will be more emphasis on the adults in the Order, and Hermione's mission to "keep Harry's head straight". Some things will be the same but the outcome will be different. What will Harry see in Snape's Penseive? Not what he did in canon. And who is that bushy-haried girl anyway? It will be those sorts of things that will happen to threaten the marriage secret. But everything will be blown to hell after the Battle at the Department of Mysteries, and Hermione's life will take a drastic turn from canon, and nothing will be the same.Thanks!Livvy
I don't often cry over a story but when I do I know that it has deeply touched my heart. I cried. I am so glad that you wrote this story and I'm greatful that I read it. I read for most of last night and today (I couldn't stop reading it). I wish that your story was the real story of how everything happend... it may be for me for now on. The relationship of Severus and Hermione hits home on so many levels for me. I have my dark and mysterious fiancee who's almost 20 years my senior, so I have my own Severus who loves to please and pamper like the one in this story. THANKS for being an amazing author, and I would love to know in the future how everything is going for the Snape children, and how Mr. and Mrs. Snape are faring! 
My condolences for your grandmother and I hope that your mother has a speedy recovery!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I feel the same. A part of me wishes I could wave a wand and make some parts of this fic reality...but that's why we have fan fiction. My model for Severus is my own husband, who is older than I am. He is from another country and after nine years of marriage, he still has an ability to surprise me with something I didn't know about him. He is quiet and likes his space. He can't stand stupid people and isn't above just walking away from a person if they are talking nonsense, or if he really gets emotional about it, he will speak up and make the other person look like an idiot. Looks like we've both been lucky in the man department. I see Snape as a hopeless romantic and my husband brings me flowers every Friday night-for nine years, he has never failed. I would like to think Severus would be that kind of husband-the little things, the small gestures.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
yes, i understand. i have 7 months to wait. lovely update. thanks muchly
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you!Livvy
I spent the past few days (and there is no other word for it) IMMERSED in this story, and an amazing journey it has been! Thank you for this wonderful narrative; I have favorited it and will definitely be revisiting it again.
