Carpe Diem, Part One
ConstantComment398 Reviews | 5.08/10 (398 Ratings, 0 Likes, 234 Favorites )
Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a year of postwar schooling. When, supposedly, all is well for the Know-It-All, events from the past emerge and drama ensues. And where is Severus Snape in all of this? Right smack in the middle, of course! Amidst the turmoil of early adulthood and unrequited feelings, will Severus and Hermione learn to "seize the day"?
AU after HBP, some facts from DH. Mild student-teacher romance. Rated M for later dream sequences, etc. Features some non-explicit HG/DM.
PLEASE read Author's Notes for disclaimers and necessary warnings throughout story.

Reviews for Carpe Diem, Part One
Great job! I really enjoyed this fic. Not to mention you have me craving CC tea! lol
I loved this story. It was soo sweet.Severus is so cute. Although I can't say I'm not the teensiest bit disappointed that Hermione and Snape didn't get together in the end up. It would be absolutely amazing if you could finish Part Two. I will definitely keep my eye out for that.
What a lovely story! Thanks so much for sharing and I look forward to reading more of your work!

I love the story! When are you going to post the sequel?
Author's Response: Started posting today! It'll be slow in coming, though.
Makes me want to keep reading and thats a good thing ;) I REALLY wish I could write this good! I'm stuck with just reading them, which... is better that not reading them at all...
Sorry to only review at the "end." Brilliantly handled through this story. Can't wait to see the results of his time waiting for her!
i do like that ron is still a jerk but a perceptive jerk. i very much look forward to the sequel as this possesiveness of draco's really has me worried. great story. thanks and mega mucho smoochies
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
thank you, kimjo! :) hermione will be rid of Draco in the next part, although we'll hear from him once or twice. It'll be another thing that Hermione needs to deal with... but I think she'll succeed! *glompsyou*
Wonderful story and I can't wait for the sequel. Good luck in college.
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Thank you and thank you! :)
Please, for the love of all that is holy, continue with this and don't leave me hanging. This needs to be wrapped up or I will absolutely burst. My only critique is that in one chapter Draco mentioned he would eat ice cream in twenty or eighty degrees.... Just remember they're brits, eh? Don't think they use Fherenhiet. Just a little nitpick, I might be wrong. Otherwise, seriously great job, please keep going.
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Hahaha, you're right! That's interesting that the mods didn't catch it. ;) Thanks for letting me know... I'll go see about fixing that. Since I'm American I don't automatically think of that sort of thing. Poor Draco in 80 degrees Celsius. LOL.
So hurry up with the sequel already! ^_^
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
*flails* I's hurrying!
It's sad to see this one end, but WOW what a journey. I applaud you and can't wait to see the sequel.Much Love,Mistress Cosmos
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Thank you! I agree, it was quite an epic and stressful journey for me as well. You and I both are looking forward to the sequel. ^__^ -CC
I was hoping this would've turned out with Hermione and Severus getting together. Perhaps the sequel?
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Most definitely. If you read my authors notes throughout the story, you'll find I have several hints as well as disclaimers that Severus and Hermione do not get together in this part of the story, but DO in the sequel. :)
Well, I'm seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, knowing you plan a sequel. I think Hermione and Severus will only appreciate each other more because of the lengthy separation. I love the man-to-man talk with Ron at the end. There's too much Ron bashing in fanfic for the sake of bringing Hermione and Severus together. You portrayed him as a mature, caring friend and the bright strategist we all know he's capable of being.When all is said and done, cc, this was a well written, always entertaining story. Bravo.
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Thank you, very much. Glad you can see the silver lining. I tried to do Ron justice, because, man, he was such a prat in the beginning. He needed to grow as a character. :)
Well at least he knows and it was nice unexpected thinng to Have Ron come and talk some sense into him. The idea of Hermione off with Draco for two years turns my stomach. Besides the fact that Draco loves her and she will break his heart won't she. I hope since the next Story will be in France that it won't be two years in between. LOLExcelent story and I look forward to more.
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
There will be two years between their meeting, but when they get together again it'll be like those two years never happened. Don't you worry! :D Glad you liked Ron. <3
This is getting to far from Severus and Hermione, having her have sex with Draco is horrible. Sorry this is freaking me out. If this is a SSHG story It getting way too of track.
I may ot liekt he content and I understand good writers can take you for en emotion ride and you have done very well. Good writing.
Sorry can't read Draco and Hermione
Response from gersknightlady (Reviewer)
sorry I was in a mood last night, you really have done such a great job with this story. Not all stories can be for everyone. Draco is not my cup of tea but I will keep reading looking for the HGSS stuff. I love them they are my ship. The SS HG stuff you wrote was abosolutely wonderful and I am amazed at how varried the story is. Good work!!!
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
It's alright, no worries. I get this kind of stuff all the time with many of my stories, and I understand the deal with this being a certain ship that happens to semi-ship another ship and that can be a disaster. It's supposed to be a disaster--Draco and Hermione... anyway, glad you're still sticking with me. There isn't any explicit Draco/Hermione for the rest of the story, and I specifically kept the D/Hr a little less... descriptive so I wouldn't lose too many followers. You'll enjoy Part, Two. I promise.
Dreams are fine but I look forward to reality, well crafted exciting but not reality :)
ugh, not enough Severus and Hermione...this is a well written story I just am not fond of the chapters where they hardely interact. I'm looking forward to more. great job
That's an interesting ending, and I love Ron coming along to bully Snape out of drunken funk. :)
Response from ConstantComment (Author of Carpe Diem, Part One)
Hehehe, for some reason, in another life I think they would've made great friends. I'm weird, I know. You'll see more of their banter when the sequel is published! -CC
Love it when he shows concern for her.
Oh another chapter I forgot to say I loved the list of reigndeer. Made me laugh aloud. Thats was hysterical.
Ahh, Luna is a gem. :)
Very good chapter, I look forward to her detention :)
much too short, very good
Very nice interaction look forward to more
Gosh a hard horrible thing for him to deal with, good writing
