I am a classically trained singer with three children. I love Star Trek and have watched probably every episode of every series. Favorite HP charaters are Snape and McGonagall. (not as a couple.)
Reviews for If Only I Could Turn Back Time
Oh Boy! I hope the "Past Snape" doesn't mess up what "Future Snape" started! This is such a fun story and actually had me laughing out loud at several points. I seriously love how he argues with himself! Like he doesn't realize that the person he's arguing with is actually him! Hahaha. Very funny. Anyways keep those chapters coming! Much Love ~ Brena

Thanks! I thought it might be humorous to have them bickering. They know each other too well, I think! I'm glad you're enjoying this. I should have an update submitted soon.As for messing things up... that's a possiblity, but we'll hope for the best.
“You’re right. She and I have already expressed our feelings for one another, that was the hard part, right? The rest should be easy.” <--The truth that Snape has never been in a relationship comes through with those words. I love the blind leading the blind, which I alluded to last review. Severus thinks he's got everything all figured out while Snape remains skeptical. If that remains the same, trouble will lie ahead.Looking forward to the next chapter. =)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Severus hopes he has it all figured out! Only time will tell, right? I think Snape will eventually get some self-esteem too, which will help things out on his end.
Thank goodness, Snape has Severus to help him. He's much too fearful and timid when it comes to Hermione. Enjoyed this chapter and I'm looking forward to their dinner.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Severus is a help. Of course, he knows how he was and knows Snape needs a good kick-start to get going with Hermione. Let's hope he doesn't stall out on their date!
Sigh.How lovely. I think I will like this story!The battle between the two Severus' is amusing ;pNice work!Angela~~
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks! I hope you'll continue to enjoy it.
I think someone needs a calming draught! I was so proud of Severus for jumping right in and laying all his cards on the table. Good move old son!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Said calming draught should be administered ten minutes before first date.Now that Cher song is going through my head! 
Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)
Its hard to get that Cher song removed from your head. Thanks for the linkies!!! I often burst into song w/o meaning too.
Severus arguing with himself is very funny, but not as much as Severus jealous of himself. I wonder if someone will hear them talking at some point. Maybe Hermione. That should be the funniest of the story.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
They're pretty comical together. You know how dangerous time travel can be. No one is supposed to see you. That's right... NO ONE is supposed to see you.... Already broke that rule. 
Ok so there will be two Severus working together to lure Hermione in thir beds. Poor her. She absolutely stands no chance. 
Err, is there any chance for a threesome?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
ROLF. Well, probably not a full-fledged one. This is only rated T, after all. 
I do think Snape the younger will be perfectly able to much things up ... I can hardly wait to read about the date.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Yes, he'll definitely be able to do that. We can only hope he can crawl out of his shell and make a decent attempt to NOT muck things up! *grins evilly*
lol...I was getting a bit confused there. Which Snape did the kissing, the one from the future or the one in the present? Loving the story.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Future Snape, usually referred to as Severus in this, did the kissing, which made younger Snape incredibly jealous! He'll get his chance with this next date. Let's hope he doesn't blow it!
oh dear, i don't think things will go perfectly at all. poor snape has no confidence. i look forward to the date! thanks so much
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Everythings a bit up in the air, isn't it? Well, we'll see what happens. Maybe Snape will chalk it up to a learning experience.
I'm glad future Severus took over to show his past self how it's done. He really is trying to keep himself from being lonely and from Hermione marrying the Weasley brat. =)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Yes, he needed to take the reigns here. Poor Snape would have a heart attack if he'd been this forward. But, there's still the next date to get through. Oh, boy!
This date has the potential to go either way--can't wait to read the next update!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
It really does, doesn't it? Hopefully, tings will work out. It would be a shame for Severus to have spent all of that time 'wooing' just to have it all fall apart on the next date! Then again, it might be funny to see how he reacts to such a thing.
LMAO... this is priceless! Can't wait for more - the old Severus is a funny bugger isn't he?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
He is. His desperation has led him to do things he'd normally blanche at. But we've always known he's the determined type!
Delicious!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Now, that's a great description! Thank you! More deliciousness to come.
Oh no! I think Severus may have moved a little to fast for Snape... This date may be a disaster in the making. Let's hope it all works out... but he's only got one week?!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Snape realizes that time is of the essence too. He'll try his hardest. We'll have to hope it's enough.
It's kind of like Cyrano de Bergerac with Severus playing both Cyrano and Christian.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Heh, heh, it really is. That's one of my favorite stories, but I hadn't made the connection. I've actually pondered doing a fic kind of like that story. Maybe my subconscious beat me to it! Lol.
That was so Cyrano. I love it. There are so many ways Severus/Snape will foul this up. You have the gears in my head turning. Great job.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you! It is quite Cyrano, isn't it? Hadn't really put two and two together, but Cyrano Debergerac is one of my favorite stories. I love it when the underdog wins out.
I'm anxious to see how it works out...Great work!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you so much! We can only hope that it doesn't go all pear-shaped!
“You’re right. She and I have already expressed our feelings for one another, that was the hard part, right? The rest should be easy.”Ohhhhh boy ... sounds like famous last words to me. Even though at this point it's plain to both of them that Hermione really does fancy Severus, I suspect the tough part for Snape will be boosting Severus' almost non-existent self-confidence so that he won't get so nervous that he ends up lashing out at the girl. Great update, I look forward to the next one!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks! I think Snape is his own worst enemy. He's so sure that nothing will ever work out for him, then when he tries to be forward, he gets tongue-tied. Poor guy. He'll definitely need to 'step out of his own box' for this date.
Go, Snape Snr! :)

"You can do it!" --Rob Schneider, various Adam Sandler movies.
Hehehehe. I absolutely love the way you're written the debates between the 'Severi'! LOL I wonder what Hermione will think when she gets wind of all this...
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
The "Severi!" I love that! They need each other, but the annoy each other to no end! Hermione will be in the dark for a while... but... (insert evil laugh.)
I love it when he argues with himself (?) :-) What a great job - thanks so much for the hard work!!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you! It is rather amusing. I'm a big fan of talking to myself. Maybe I shouldn't admit that. But it's effective when you're trying to work something out in your head. Anyway, this is something like that. Only he's not in control of the answers he gets, is he?
Oh, if she figures out that there are two Snapes, she'll be pissed. This could really explode.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Wow, you are one of the first to think of that. (You're right.) Let's hope for the best!
dun dun dun dun... two snapes working together. Hermione hasn't a chance. Hopefully. :) hehe
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Well, she can hold her own, but she's definitely outnumbered!
Oooooooo this looks interesting!I eagerly await the next chapter!Angela~~
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
It's in the queue. (Yay!) Thank you so much.
