I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Our Hero!!!!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Yes he is. Thank you for reading, even if I only metnioned Hestia on the summary. Hugs~
It is simple, but eloquent. A lovely 'snapshot' of what Snape could have been doing behind the scenes.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Thank you very much. I like to think he was giving such warnings to help people. Thank you for taking the time to read a story that only mentioned Hestia in the summary. Hugs~

Great one!
Author's Response: Thank you very much. I''m flattered that you liked this - and bothered to read a story about Hestia. Thank you for the review.
Very well done! At first I thought of the Potters in Godrick's Hollow, but then I remembered that Hestia and Emmeline wouldn't have been there. After a quick trip to the file drawer in my mind and a quicker trip to Google to confirm, I think I know who the "parents" are and what this snapshot is about. Well done!Beth

LOL I didn't mean for your to go on a research hunt for the parents, but I'm curious - who do you think they are? Reality is that I just wrote this out as a possible time when Severus gave Hestia a warning of a raid.Thank you very much for giving a story that only mentioned Hestia in the summary a try. I appreciate the review, and I'd be interested in knowing who you think the family is?
Response from braye27 (Reviewer)
Hestia Jones and Emmeline Vance were two Order members who helped protect the Dursleys and moved them to a safe house when Harry was taken from Number 4 Privet Drive to Grimmauld Place. (I have to confess that Google is what led me to those details.)Even though that OOtP scenario doesn't exactly fit the story, it was the closest thing I could come up with. So anyway, I thought the Drusleys must have been the "parents" referred to. I tried. 
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Yes, Heatia Jones was one, but the other was Dedalus Diggle (who even praised Vernon on his ability to drive a car - all those knobs and gadgets and things.) Good try though.
Wow. So much action, suspense, anguish in so few words. And still no awful, disgusting little monsters called commas.

Thank you very much. Yes, it was a bit intense. Thank you so much for checking out a story that onle mentioned Hestia in the summary. Hugs~
Your story is excellently built-up. You throw us right into the thick and keep us spellbound as the tension steadily rises. You waste no time on longish explanations after releasing it. We're free to select the time and persons and still get a full idea of what happened. I like that very much. Not every story needs juicy aspects to be a success! I hope the jury accepted it as such. Did you notice that you inserted a comma into the A/N--and isn't even another one missing after 'oh'?I'm no expert in English (or any language's) commas myself and am always delighted to see futher options how to get around without the little blighters. I tried some of these techniques in this review. Did I succeed?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Oops. *blushes* Thank you so much for the wonderful compliments. I'm so glad that you liked this little story. Thank you for checking out a stroy that only metnioned Hestia in the summary. Hugs~
Response from Bettina (Reviewer)
It was the story-without-commas challenge that brought me here. I didn't care for characters at all. I remained with you as an author for a while. I like this essay best in both, the challenge and among your stories! Darn, there it was, the first comma. Now that it happened, I don't mind adding more of them, several more, even. 
oh, i liked this very much! i love this severus. i like how you didn't identify the family, so they sort of stood in for everyone who was terrorized in that way. and very nice execution of the no commas aspect of the challenge. :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Thank you very much. I'm very flattered that you liked this one, and gave it a read even though it only mentioned Hestia in the summary. It was intentional to have the family unidentified so that you could imagin the 'who' was saved. Thank you so much for the review, doll. Hugs~
great stuff! thanks

I liked it, even without lemons. A very nice little vignette!

Fabulous story. Do you think there is any chance you might do more with this storyline at another date?
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
The challenge said oneshot. 500 words. some sex (which I didn't do) and no commas what-so-ever. This just poped in my head - one of Severus' warnings for the Order. I hadn't planned on continuing. But who knows?Thank you for the review.
Wow. Nicely done. I liked this look into what might have happened before the Potters went into hiding.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Thank you very much. I intentionally never gave the families name, letting the reader decide. It's interesting that you connected it with the Potters. Thank you for the review.
No commas. Good. No sex. That's ok. :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of In the Nick of Time)
Yep! I didn't use a single one!Sorry, I didn't know about the sex part until after I'd tried writing this one. *blushes* If this doesn't qualify - I'll write you another one with really sticky lemons!Thank you for reading this - even though it's not technically SS/HG. He's still a good guy in it though!
