Age 59, I have been a Severus and Alan Rickman fan for a couple years. I post SS/HG stories.
I went to NY last week to see Seminar (Jan 4, 20012) It was wonderful.
Shades of Severus in his character and his house. I was priviledge to see Alan up close an personal after the play.

beautiful update. thanks so much
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Your very welcome :)
I have to concur with the last reviewer (I was just about to write the exact same thing!) I too have always found that particular scene in Prisioner of Azkaban to actually be quite moving and certainly a dead give away to anyone astute enough (unfamiliar with the books and full story of course) to work out that SS was clearly instinctively protecting the kids - not something an 'enemy' would be doing - thus giving a massive clue to his true allegiance!I think it is not just the weather that will be thawing soon in this story ... :-)
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
I'm so glad yoou noticed and agree with me. I love that photo of that scene. It's also one of the few of Severus and Hermione close :) Your right it was a huge clue. After HBP my friend said, "Give up on Snape he's gone to the bad side. I told her I don't think so." LOL who was right haha.
I think your right :)
The scene you described in which Severus protects the kids from Lupin when he transforms is one of my all time favorite HP moments, and I'm glad you included it in your tale. It looks like Hermione will have her work cut out for her getting Severus to relocate - not a fun enterprise. I hope for the day that he is able to view himself as a man deserving of love and affection and light. Fantastic chapter! p.s.( don't beat yourself up about the frequency/length of updates. you're doing fine.) :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
I'm glad you liked it and I agree with you. No one throws themself infront of a werewolf because it's their job. That's a very deffining moment in the HP saga. I think Hermione iis going to do her best to convince him :)
Thanks :)
Thank you! Hope he will eventually find the cure for his self-reprimanding state...
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
I hope he will too, glad you like the story. :)
It sounds like maybe he doesn't hate Harry as much as it seemed. Very nice interaction between them.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
The man gave his life for the kid, sometimes ungrateful brat, I think he cares for Harry but couldn't show it becasue of who he was.
What a nice way to spend an evening! A little walk around the lake and sitting by the fire sounds heavenly. I'm so glad that Severus is considering therapy - ahhh, the healing power of touch! I can't wait for the 'close contact' to begin. Wonderful chapter! Can't wait for your next update!!! :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Sadley, the next one is very short. But nice I think :) Glad you enjoyed their night out. I guess you can tell I'm a romantic at heart. :)Thanks so much.
What a lovely chapter! They had a great evening in their get-away at the Shrieking Shack and finally acknowledged how deep their feelings for each other have become. And the best thing? Severus offered her an apprenticeship, and Hermione accepted! YAY!!!!Beth
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Thanks so much. I think they have gone slow enough, but yet this story takes place so quickly in real time. LOL It only seems long to me becasue its been months since I wrote it. I think Hermione always wanted to be a Potions mistress but she could not commite to one because it wasn't Severus.
Apprentiships are for 20 years?Or did he jsut say that to have her around him for 20 years? I'm glad that she confessed her feelings, more so that they didn't jump in the sack right away. I like how you are building up this relationship slowly.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Wizards live a long time. Don't you think at least 20 years sounds resonable. I think he also wanted to bnd her to him for 20 years so that he has time to get up the nerve to tell her how he feels. Maybe he hasn't admitted as much to himself yet. I like slow too :)Thanks so much
Response from beaweasley2 (Reviewer)
IF Severus apprentishiped himself to a Master for 20 years, he wouldn't have been free to be professor of Potions at Hogwarts? at least until he was 39 or so. I was surprised, but I took it as a sure way for him to have her around for that long. Talk about needing time to pluck up the nerve! LOL Sorry, no feather ruffling intended.
At least he is considering a future! :)
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Yes he is isn't he :)
Their relationship is coming on fine and dandy, brings a smile to my face. Look forward to the next chappie.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Thanks, sorry the next ones short but hope you enjoy it.
Their relationship seems to be going from strength to strength and I hope Severus' health continues that way too. This story offers such hope; I think that's what makes it such a joy to read :-)
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Thank you so much, I'm glad you are enjoying it so much.
Gorgeous! Just gorgeous! Your stories are just so tender and sweet (not sickly but just lovely.)You are also the only author I've come across to date who ever mentions God or conventional religion. I'm glad about that as a believer myself. I think there are a whole lot of people out there who think that the whole HP thing is 'evil', not realising exactly what it was that JKR actually wrote and, in particular, the Christian virtues that Severus himself possessed in what he did.You're doing a good job with this. :-)
Response from Sevvy (Reviewer)
BTW: I meant to say how lovely it is to read of SS behaving as a perfect gentleman for a change! And the kiss was delightful! :-)
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Im so glad you like the story. I'm a rather romantic person. I'm a Christian and none of my family will read my Fan Fiction. They have no idea what it means to me. They think HP is evil. I find it just good fun and I agree there are mirrors there to some Christian ideas. I think the Severus we see on the screen is an actor, Severus being the hated Potions master. Severus the deatheater and spy. Severus probably doesn't even know who he is himself. He has to want more than that life. I am giving him a chnace to be the man he was always meant to be :)
Response from Sevvy (Reviewer)
How lovely to find someone with the same beliefs as me who is also willing to read/write HP! I guessed you were a Christian from the way you write and also a true romantic - that comes across too. We are clearly like-minded!I'm sorry that your family don't read your work; mine don't either but, then again, in my case I've asked them not to, mainly because of my 'obsession' with SS/Alan Rickman which I try to keep under wraps as I don't think they would consider it 'normal' for a 46-year-old woman!!I avoided the whole HP thing for many years as it didn't seem right to me (although I had read the first book which I bought for my eldest son when he was about 10 and thought how lovely it was to read such a good, 'old-fashioned', descriptive author!) Then, quite by chance, I saw the first film on TV a couple of Christmases ago and decided to buy the others which I watched back to back whilst convalesing from an operation. (I then went on to buy/read all of the HP books with my youngest son - gradually working our way through them over the last couple of years!) Without warning or reason, just by watching him on the screen, I literally 'fell in love' with Alan Rickman (to this day I still don't know why or where that came from!) and ended up buying almost every one of his films (mostly from Amazon!) and 'obsessing' over him. He is such a lovely man in real life I think I somehow felt that this justified my involvment in HP; having said that, there are many films of his that I don't like or don't approve of but that doesn't stop me liking and admiring him. To now be able to read/write fanfiction about SS in particular is, I think, some sort of release for many of us and, as you say, gives him a chance to be the man he was always meant to be. Sorry for droning on - just nice sometimes to share these things with other like-minded people! :-)
I hope the second potion works for Severus and he can utilize his skills to the fullest again. Maybe then he won't feel quite as self-conscious about eventually letting the rest of the wizarding world know he's alive. Although I'm sure there will be a few interesting reactions to the idea of him being with Hermione. BTW, can you tell how much I am enjoying this story?
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)

I'm glad of their progressing relationship. It seems so hopeful.

Beautiful. Forgiveness is one of life's best medicines.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Thank you, I'm glad you like Harry.
joyous! thanks so much
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Thank you so much :)
I have enjoyed reading this story so much this evening!!! Fantastic chapter. Now that the healing of his awful neck wound is well under way, they can focus on his other injuries and hopefully mend them as well. I loved the bed sharing and gentle kisses scenes a lot! Please update soon. Well done!!! :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Another chapter is watig to be validated, maybe a few more days.
Thanks so much for reading my fic I appreciate your comments.
At least Severus appreciates the fact that shopping may take Hermione a little while longer than it would take him. lol :P And she got him a present!!!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
Yep she did :)
Great chapter. Near kisses, thinly veiled intentions and the confessions of a pair of sweet-tooths (or is it teeth)!!! lol I love how Severus keeps opening up to Hermione. He says the sweetest things! On to the next part. :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
I'm so glad you are continuing to enjoy the story. This is a completed work, I'm just trying to get the chapetrs posted. The Ladies are doing a spetacular job.Thank for reading :)
Reassuring Severus is the best thing Hermione can do at this point. He's probably still in shock that she is actually willing to stay with him and has doubts coming out his ears about his ability to persuade her to remain as such. Great chapter!!! :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
I always thing that all can be solved with love :) Thanks.
Great chapter. Nice to see his POV and a little snippet of how his life has been on his own. :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
"POV"? Glad you liked it :)
Can you imagine how wonderful Severus felt having Hermione wash and cut his hair? I'm surprised he didn't drool. I'm so happy with the way you have written them coming together. Lovely!!! :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of From Death To Life Again)
"Blush' Thank you so much :)
