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.

I love this story!! And this last chapter was very well written!.. Two and a half months!!

Hope you can update soon! :)

As soon as my beta okay's it. Sometimes RL can really be a bummer. I hope to get it in the queue asap.Thanks!Livvy
I love the way you work your story into the books. Now I'm anxious to see what you do with the rest of the story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! It was hard at times, but fun. I hope you like how I take things in the next twist.Thanks!Livvy
I love the way you weave canon into the story! How heartbreaking for Hermione to have to watch Severus go to Voldy. I've always wished Harry had put his memory of the cemetery into a Pensieve so that Severus woiuld have a clearer idea of what happened, how Voldy got his body, little details that only a Death Eater would see as important; perhaps Harry will tell Hermione more, so she can tell Severus. Thank you for the new chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I'm sure Severus will hear all the gory details first-hand from Voldy. Yes, it was hard to have Hermione watch Severus go into the unknown.Thanks!Livvy
You did a lovely job of managing cannon. I look forward to what you have in store next.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you!! The next chapters until number 45 should be exciting.Thanks!Livvy
Whow, I think that lily is a little more in to girls than boys. I wonder if James was intressted in lily if she was't a friend of severus. It looks more like 2 dogs fighting for the same bone.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
This is what I'm saying! Severus had her first, but hell, no, could "Snivellus" have such attentions from Lily Evans. You know, I think she only married Potter out of sadness and loss over losing her friendship with Severus. She probably realized what a bitch she had been to him and couldn't repair the damage. Sorry, I am just not a Lily Evans person. I think she was a spoilt little girl who couldn't see anything beyond her own experience. If Lupin had been in Slytherin and a werewolf? No matter how nice, she wouldn't have given two shites about him.IMHO (Sorry, got all Lily-bashing there!)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Yea, why is Ron red-faced? Did he see something not meant for his eyes? Maybe then Sirius can help Hermione explain what's up? Oh, but darn, he'd help Snivellus--can he bring himself to do that? I admire their patience; it's beyond all human power. The poor people. Do bring Severus home safe, will ya? I'm at a loss as to why Dumbledore was so stubburn with the imposter. In canon he told Harry he only noticed it when "Moody" removed Harry from his side. You'll have to come up with something better, I suppose. Oh, and Severus is going to meet Wormtail; will the rat survive this? Can't wait to read on!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yes, the next chapter will explain what Voldemort knows or doesn't and what consequences there will be for Severus. As for DD...well, it will come out later.Thanks!Livvy
Oh! I can’t wait to see what happens when he returns to his rooms. If Hermione wants to ease into intimacy then they better start doing more than masturbating on opposite sides of the bathroom door. :P
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hermione SO could have taken advantage of him! But who wants to "reunite" when one's partner is seven sheets to the wind? They will work it out.That was too funny lol!!!Thanks,Livvy
Wonderful, as always!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you!Livvy
Great chapter. I'm really excited about what's going to happen next, I can't wait for them to be together properly.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Me too! I just hope everyone likes how I do the wedding and wedding night :)Thanks!Livvy
Way to go out on top, Livvy! The previous chapter showed us the happy ending, but so many times in this tale, just when things are looking up, the rug is pulled out from under them. This chapter was important to show that we not only got to the happy ending, but it stuck this time. I love the variety in their children and am sure that there is never a dull moment in the Snape household. I think they have many happy years ahead of them. So, well done. I think this chapter of their lives is closed to us as outsiders. Still, if the muse ever strikes, I'd love to see a glimpse of the future down the road. Just check in on them, see how the kids are doing at Hogwarts. Why do I have the feeling they would be serious empty nesters? Still, I know that they know how to occupy their time while alone ;)This has been a long journey, but a very rewarding one for your readers. I don't believe there was ever a chapter that disappointed. If any version of Severus and Hermione deserved a happy ending it was here. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your grandmother, and hope that your mother is doing well. You should take some time for yourself and real life. Just make sure you come back. I really hope you have something brilliant coming up to share with us!

Thank you for thinking of my family. Yes, if a plot bunny nibbles on me then I would seriously consider a sequel.As for now, I have a fic with my beta now. I hope you will like my new fic.Thanks,Livvy
iv been reading this seince you started it and i have loved every min of it, i hope you put up a ep. great stoy and imn glad i was around for the ride. hope you have another one in the works
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I sure do how another coming up soon! It's with my beta now. I hope you like it as well.Thanks!Livvy
I read this yesterday but wanted to wait until I had time to properly write a review, but I'm not sure if I would ever be able to write a review that would actually be worthy of this story. A Change is Going to Come is the best piece of fanfic ever and somehow I still feel like I'm short-changing it. I know I've mentioned it in other reviews but this story had everything; it made me laugh when Severus would be pouty or jealous, it made me cry when they lost Serena, it made me mad when Harry locked Hermione away and it made me smile when you wrote ‘He still was her boy, and she was still his girl”. I’m honestly getting emotional writing this review. I loved it start to finish and in some ways devastated to see it end. I wish I could write something to express truly how much this story meant to me over the past year and a half. When I had a rough day at work, it was always nice to come how and see that A Change is Going to Come was updated. An update was always a highlight and I will miss having updates to look forward too.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us.
I also want to offer my deepest condolences on the passing of your grandmother and hope that your mom makes a speedy recovery.
<3 Barb

Thank you for your kind words about my family. It is still hard, but it will get better in time. Your review was so special to me. Idon't feel you short-changed it at all. I love it when readers tell me how my writing made them feel and when that feeling fits with what I wanted it to be... well, that is pure magic! I am so glad I could be a part of lifting up your day. I have some of those myself and I am honored that you have placed me in such good company.Thank you for your review!Livvy

Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
No problem! I hope someone can answer your question.Livvy
i feel like my heart just broke..... :( ahh, but all things have to end. hey if anyone can guess where this quote --------------> "Whenever there is a meeting, a parting is sure to follow. But that parting needs not last forever. However that parting need not last forever. Whether a parting be forever or merely for a short time....That is up you."<----- comes from gets a cookie!! Hint: It's from a game! Sooo, livvy6 do you think this parting will last forever or just a short time? just asking...great story, it's fabulous! "Cheers"

A parting from this story or from my writing? A new fic will be posted soon from me. As for a sequel... I will have to be inspired plot-wise.I'm glad you enjoyed the fic. I hope news of a new fic will mend your heart ;)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
LOL. I love it. A parselmouth in the family. These kids are going to be hell for anyone at hogwarts.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! I'm sure they will - especially Savion and Xavier! :)Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I am sorry to see this story end! It was a wonderful ride from beginning to end, and one of my favorite time turner stories! I am looking forward to your next story!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! I wanted to do a Time Turner fic for a long time. I'm so glad for the reception its gotten.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Thank you. I loved all of it. I love the way you wrote the ending as something more than a sappy happy ever after. And less than a this was a bear to write and must have the most epicest of endings but I really just want to quit already. Thank you for the beautiful story. Thank you thank you.~Mia
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you for your compliments. I'm glad you enjoyed the fic!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Oh very nice. I love all the breastfeeding stuff. I nursed my babies, too, so I can identify completely.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hee-hee. I thought it would be fun to put that in there!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I have truly loved taking this reading journey with you. Your story was happy, sad, hopeful, bittersweet, filled with angst and every other emotion that I could possibly think of. I lost count of the number of tears I shed while reading this creative piece. Your story has touched me and brightened up many days. I'd be having a busy day and then when I thought about getting home and reading this story I'd smile. Best wishes and keep on writing, Pris.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you for your kind review! That's what I strive for - to hit all the various emotions. I'm glad you have enjoyed it so much.Thanks!Livvy
Such a wonderful ending to a wonderful story. I've had no updates to say this story has been updated so i've read the last 5 chapters. I'm glad they got everything they ever wanted. Couldn't have asked for a better ending.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you liked how it all turned out!Livvy
*sighs* So, we come to the final chapter. But I don't think this story will ever end so long as there are one or two who sail this ship. A Change is Going to Come by livvy6 will always be among my favorite fanfics. Through you very talented story telling I almost feel like I've grown up with Severus and Hermione. We've been able to see them go from teacher/student to becoming classmates and friends, return to the teacher/student relationship, grow to adulthood, marry, fight in a righteous war, have to be separated from each other and ostracized by their friends, lose a child, to picking up the threads of their married life and raising a family.You started this story in the middle of their lives (In Medias Res), then took us back to their beginning, and then on to their years of struggle, and finally to the sweet and well deserved life they had worked so hard to protect (Dulcius ex Asperis). This is the essence of Epic in its purest form. Congratulations on this wonderful work of fiction, and for making these extraordinary characters come to life. I will follow your work, and I wish you every success in the future.In closing I want to express my sorrow for the loss of your grandmother, and I hope your mother will be returned to vigorous health. Be well and let your fans know what you get up to.Lots of hugs, and a Thousand Points to Your House. Five stars are not nearly enough.Beth

As always, thank you for your awesome review. I'm so lucky you'll be with me on the next fic!Thanks!Livvy
what a beautiful fic!!!! this was a love story to end all love storys!!!! i just loved it.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Aww... thank you! I appreciate that. I am so happy you took the time to review and let me know you enjoyed it so!Thanks,Livvy
I am sad to see this story end. But what an ending....just like they always wanted toys to trip over and the chaos of life. Thanks for a great story!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks. I couldn't let them down. THey deserve all the best!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I'm so happy for Severus and Hermione! After years of struggle, they finally have what they wanted -- children's toys to trip over, a houseful of happy children, good health, and friends, all in an era of peace. Sounds like their biggest emergency was when three-year-old Xavier started exhibiting his magic; much nicer crisis than any Death Eaters. Thank you so much for this lovely story. I'm sorry t hear about your grandmother, and hope your mum is feeling better.
