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.

Wow, you are awesome, there is nothing else to say!!!!

Thank you!!!Livvy
Great update. I was wondering why Severus was going to Azkaban, then I realised in GOF the memroy shows Dumbldore testifying for him. You have woven yet a another great story.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying it. We're coming up real soon to another be reveal!Livvy
"I will never stop loving you. Time cant change it because what we have is real.
Is this to be Severus's future response to Hermione then? =) I hope so - for her sake...
Excellent chapter - I know that you don't like changing the past - but PLEASE don't hurt the Longbottoms, at least not as much as they're hurt in the book - let them have a good ending?..
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I'm sorry, I truly am. But at this point Hermione only knows Neville's parents are dead and that's why he lives with his Gran. It isn't until fifth-year that she learns the truth, so she has no way of knowing to stop them from getting hurt.Livvy
I can think of nothing scarier than thinking of a formidable Severus trying to wake me up. Lovely chapter. I enjoy your take on Moody a lot, in previous chapters and now. He's got the right sternness: creepy but vigilant. Can't wait for more...
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah, especially when the man is in his "bat suit" that she saw every day for two years as a student. That would scare anyone!Thanks!Livvy
I'm not quite sure what the connection with Severus possibly going to Azkaban and her not telling him of the future is. It would seem that now would be a great time to come clean.Loved Moody's reaction. I just wanted Hermione to give it to him, though. She showed much restraint.I'm just dying to know when you'll send her back, IF you'll send her back! I'm sure there's lots in between, but I love to think ahead at what will happen then.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, Hermione doesn't want to ruin their "reunion" with such a shocker. But she will tell him soon. She didn't want to put that in his head and then have him sent off to Azkaban for a few weeks where he could go mad thinking about all the depressing outcomes.Hermione knew that it was only natural that Moody would be furious and suspicious with her, but in a much later chapter, Moody will get to see how his work didn't go to waste!Thanks,Livvy
Response from debjunk (Reviewer)
OH, I get it! That makes a lot of sense, actually!
Another great chapter, Livvy. I'm an avid reader of your work, but I don't review often enough. I think you are a terrific writer. I have especially liked your SS/HG centric stories Bookends, Full of Grace,and Longing. You have a compelling style, always leaving me wanting to read more. Your story lines are logical and easy to follow. Of course you write lemons quite well, indeed. I hope the muse continues to inspire you for as long as you desire.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Don't feel bad about the reviewing. I don't review as much as I should. THere are so many excellent fics out there that blow my mind away.As for lemons... my husband is my muse ;) He's from Italy and you know what they say about what Italian men are good at: making love and singing opera!Thanks!Livvy
Nicely tied in with canon! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks! It took some hard work, but I'm glad so many have liked it!Livvy
I'm happy and terrified, and also dying to know what else you've got up your sleeve!! Brilliant, and devious!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, the next reveal will be soon. I can't wait for the reactions. I hope it goes over well.Thanks!Livvy
I understand Moody's reaction. He had spent all that time and energy training a "warrior" only to have her retreat when the war started. I am anxious to see what happens in eleven years. Does Hermione just lose all of her experiences since she time travelled?Great work!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
VERY good question... and I wish I could answer it, but I can't. Sorry. You'll find out soon the next big reveal. And that was the reaction I was hoping to garner about Moody. WHo wouldn't be suspicious of her? What do they know? ANd all that work he put into her? Well, he'll see it won't have gone to waste. He'll just have to wait a while.Thanks!Livvy
Loved this chapter! But Hermione still hasn't told Severus that she's from the future... oh dear. I hope she gets around to it before that little eleven year old girl shows up to be Sorted! That would make things rather difficult to adequately explain... I am particularly interested to see just how events will diverge from "canon" once we get to the point where Hermione disappeared in third year. Or will they...? Hmm... Hermione and Severus might have just created a replacement for the third member of the Trio without realizing it yet... Either way, this is a fascinating ride and I'm on the edge of my seat. Keep up the great work!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, there is soooo much I could tell you, but it would ruin the surprise! All I can say is that Hermione WILL tell Severus about who she really is and it won't be long now.Thanks!Livvy
This was great. You did a fabulous job adding all the details that Hermione learned on her return. Does Severus know that she is from the future? If not, how willl she explain her knowledge of events?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Oh, she will tell him. Not too far off either. Thanks!Livvy
Been a while since I last read this story-- now there's a few chapters all at once waiting on me! Whee! Last chapter was interesting, though it seemed to be more of a transitionary one than anything else. This chapter is where things start really happening again! Liked the tie-in with the very first chapter; when you re-read it again after having read this one, hidden depths become clear and it's even better.Severus really had that slap coming, but what a hard price to pay for Hermione. And terrible to see all the things you know will happen unfold around you, and despite everything your love and loyalty apparently isn't enough to make a difference. But has Hermione thought of how much worse things could have been if she hadn't been there? Perhaps she couldn't make a change because she had already made it... Argh, now I'm giving myself a time travel headache! On to the next chapter!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yea, got to be careful about those :) I'm glad you like the tie-in. THat is why I named the chapter "In the Middle of Things" because I wanted to grab the reader's interest right from the start. I'm glad you took the time to go back and see how it all clicked in place. But we aren't half-way done yet. Almost, but not quite. Lots of stuff to put our Sev and Hermione through yeat.Thanks!Livvy
Things are really getting interesting. You must be studying GoF quite a bit. I would never be able to keep up with all those details. I glazed over a lot of the history. This is going to be fascinating to read. Keep going!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I literally had GoF next to my computer for a long time. I remembered a lot... I got my degree in History, so facts and chronology are what I work well with. I also adore researching. So I had a bit of fun trying to pick out things to add. I also made a lot of notes-that helped too.Thanks!Livvy
Wow, Moody was a right, sh-te, wasn't he? I really loked Hermione's reaction to Severus and his 'teaching voice'. The review of the events an the summary of the war - well done. It'll be weird to see little Hermione nad older Hermione face each other? Let's see how you handle that one.
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Hee-hee! I can't wait to do the other big reveal!Thanks!Livvy
Oh my!I've been waiting for this!Great job filling in the holes!Looking forward to the next!A~~
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Next chapter should be in the queue soon!.Livvy
This is such a fascinating time turner story. Most seem to have her in the past for awhile and then return to the present at the same age. It will be interesting to see what happens in a decade when, like Hermione mentioned, an 11 year old little girl named Hermione Granger shows up at Hogwarts. Can't wait!!I do have one question, Hermione talks to Dumbledore in this chapter about Voldermorts return. But he doesn't return till the end of Book 4 and I thought she broke her Time Turner at the begining of Book 3. Or is the strictly AU and I am overthinking things?Ok, I lied... one more question. Why is Severus going to Azkaban?Still LOVING this story! Thanks so much for updating!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Well, she knows that he was living off of Qurrel's head, so she knows he is not dead and he is back, trying to get to Harry She believes his return is imminent. And I mentioned about Azkaban because Severus Had been a death eater. He had to be held accountable. But of course we all know how he esscaped that with Dumbledore testifying about his defection. But THey don't know what's going to happen at that point.Thanks!Livvy
Response from jacqui (Reviewer)
Ooooohhhh! Ok I totally get it now. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
So, I'm assuming that Voldemort fell the same way in your story, which means James and Lily are dead. Does Snape not know that part, or does he just not feel the remorse the same way he did in JK's version?
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
He doesn't feel the consuming sadness and regret because he had stopped loving Lily. His mission was now to protect Hermione and all Muggleborns. He still has his issues with the Marauders, but he feels about James and Lily's death as he would for any other Order Member. So in there lies the difference.Thanks!Livvy
Response from Hunneigh (Reviewer)
Ahhhh, I see I see. It's very well written. I can't wait for future chapters. :)
*sigh* finally, the deflowering...of both! wonderful stuff. thanks so much
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
LOL! Yes, finally! Glad you enjoyed it!Thanks!Livvy
That was so sweet! Well worth waiting for!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I'm glad you enjoyed it!Thanks!Livvy
Yea - they are finally together - I know it won't last or be easy - but I am so looking forward to your next chapter - thanks for all of your hard work!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Thank you! It's going to get rather interesting these next few chapters!Thanks!Livvy
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Damn, you can write a love scene and some of the "naughtier" parts were a turn on! But now that their back together and their going to keep going through the decades - and she won't just pop back into her own time. Which I am happy about, I love this story line! But how will it work out when she catches up with her own time line? Because Harry and Ron do need Hermiones brilliance to get through their school years - I'm positive of it. So how is that going to be accomplished?.... Just curious ;)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Sorry I can't reveal much... but she will have to return. Not soon, but she will have to go back because of the little Hermione Ganger that will be coming to Hogwarts in 1991. Also, Hermione has to figure out how she's going to tell Severus about who she really is.Thanks!Livvy
Though I am sure there will be more drama to come, I really enjoyed this chapter. Not only due to the lemons, (though they were brilliant:-)) but because of the love they have for eachother. I look forward to read more!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Yeah! It's going to get a bit complicated for sure.Thanks!Livvy
Lovely! But, as others have said, I'm confused--and worried---about the time-turner thing, and time-warps and paradoxes and the "We MUSTN'T be seen!" that the 'other' Hermione explained so assiduously to Harry in CoS. In that book, a character's going back in time did NOT 'erase' them in 'this' time---i.e., they existed, for a short time, as a double of themselves--which is why they "could not be seen" (Hermione's warning in the book to Harry that wizards had been known to kill themselves accidentally). So, since Hermione was 2 years old when V. was defeated, in your story does that mean there is a "baby" Hermione Granger somewhere, who will in 10 years enter Hogwarts as a first-year? And if so, what will they do then about the very obvious paradox of a 'duplicate' Hermione Granger, one who is a student and one who is Severus' wife? (and maybe even mother of his children, by then). Then, when the 'other' Hermione Granger reaches her thrid year, and catches up to when she 'disappeared' with the time turner, the two will merge into one---but ... how CAN they?---since one will be aged 10 years or more than the other, and one is a grown woman, a married wife, and the other a 14-year-old female student?You've got my head spinning here, trying to figure this out.But I'm clinging to your promises (above) of a happy ending! (buckling my seat belt against angst, ahead!)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
I've got it all sorted and I hope that it won't be a bummer. It certaintly will make things interesting between Severus and Hermione. But Hermione is quite aware of the clock ticking.Thanks,Livvy
Well, I suppose things will lighten up for a little bit, as 'Ding dong, the wizard's dead.' It's nice to finally see them back together after so long and that they both still love each other immensely. Now, she's going to tell him she's from the future, right? Can't wait for that little tidbit of reveal!
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
All in good time. There still are Death Eaters on the loose, and Hermione wants to enjoy just being with Severus. But yes, she will have to tell him.Thanks,Livvy
They are going to sleep for a week after all that activity! :)
Response from livvy6 (Author of A Change is Going to Come)
Aww, they're young! They can bounce back, hell, they're only 21/22!Thanks,Livvy
