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
What a sweet wedding! Will there be an epilogue?
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
No, sorry, that's the end. Thanks.
Aww what a sweet tale! That must be very disconcerting, to have two years' worth of memories rush into your head. (I am always interested in the 'mechanics' of a time-travel story) Very nice happy ending. (and boyo, can I use one right now!) thanks.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
I think the flood of memories was very disconcerting. I'm glad this was what you needed.
So now we wonder, if things have changed, (and things will have changed, one way or another,) how will Snape remember them? Will he have memories of the timeline that led him to travel back? Or will those memories be superceded by the life as it happened because of his time-travel? I love good time-travel stories that pay attention to details! Thanks for sharing this with us.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Heh, heh. You'll see. Thank you!
Cutting it close, wasn't he? Thanks for the happy ending!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
You're very welcome. Thank you for the lovely review.
Thank goodness, you scared me for a moment. Turn Back Time was a beautiful love story. I enjoyed seeing Severus tap his inner Gryffidor and do the unthinkable by going back in time to win Hermione. Loved it.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
LOL. I was hoping to scare someone! Glad it worked. But really, how horrible it would have been for Severus to appear at the same wedding and know that even with his extra visit, things didn't work out. Bleh. This was a much better outcome, right? I'm glad you loved it. It was well worth it for him to do all he did.
Yay! i am a sucker for happy endings. Thank you for taking the time to share this beautiful fic with us. I'm so glad to see the Potions Master gets a happy ending somewhere in fiction land!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
I know. He had such a terrible end in canon. Had to remedy that!
Awwwww, what a great ending to such a cute & fun fic. Thank you so much for posting. I truly enjoyed this wonderful tale. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you, Brena. Glad you liked it.
That was a wonderful way to end things, with her knowing more about what was going on than he did.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
LOL. She did for a few minutes there, didn't she? Well, he figured it all out in the end, and oh, what a great thing to figure out. Thanks!
ahhh bless.... I notice the blurb says not complete. Hoping it's not a mistake and there's an Epilogue on the way. I LOVE epilogues!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Sorry, it was an error. I've gone ahead and corrected it, so it should show the story complete. I debated writing a little bit more, but both my beta and I felt that it was complete like this. I do love epilogues, too, though. You can assume they lived happily ever after with a couple of know-it-all kids that came along and did wonderfully courageous things in their own lifetime.
what a great story - thanks for taking the time to write and post it!! Really enjoy your writing style and hope to look for more of your work - when I find out who you are!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks! I hope you look up more of my stuff when you find out who I am. Glad you enjoyed it.
Awwwwwwwwwwww This is perfect. I'm glad he was there to actually participate in his marriage. He surely would have been disapointed to just remember it.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
You're so right, he would have been. Luckily, he came in right in time.
Yay, I'm so glad for them!! Great story!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you gabi!
Awwwww what a lovely tale :) Brava!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thanks, brandy!
Good chapter, but I suspect all men are infuriating lol.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
I think that's one of the definitions of man. It's inherent in their character. Bwahahaha.
Please dont let something bad happen between now and the next mornig when she tells SS. That would just be beyond tragic. I really enjoyed how HG rationalized it all out. If felt like you got inside my head and wrote the way I think. Im a bit freaked out.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Perhaps you have a lot in common with Miss Granger. At least it came off realistically! I can assure you, nothing bad will happen before tomorrow except a lot of lost sleep on Severus and Snape's part.
Egads she is pissed isnt she? Well certainly I can see HG's point. SS is going back in time to manipulate things. What a pickle HG is in. How to decide? If it were me I vote for tall dark and sarcastic.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
She's definitely angry. She'll come around, she just needs to blow off some steam.
What an amazing chapter! I totally loved the insight you gave us into Hermione's thoughts! I loved how she explored everything and well, the last lines were funny. I did the same thing. <blushes> I still think that my last name is insane, but I married the man not the name. Hahaha. Anyways, thanks for the great update. Much Love ~ Brena
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
I have to admit, I stole that from the Wedding Singer. It's when Julia is trying on her dress and she says... Mrs. Julia Goolia, then says Mrs. Robbie Hart. Yeah, definitely better than Weasley! And you're so right, you married the man. Who cares what his name is... well, within reason.
Response from BrenaMarie (Reviewer)
How do you get people to understand that you actually married a man with a hyphenated name? I know its kinda normal in the U.K...but in the states? People think I chose to have two last names smooshed together! My Mother in Law did this to me!!!! My real name is Karen Donohue-Barrett. Not bad, but still kinda silly with the hyphen. ;-)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
LOL. I think it's a bit unusual for the guy to take his mother's hyphenated name, but who cares? I mean... really. It's just a name. And quite a nice name, if I do say so, Karen. You'll come across lots of people who want to comment on some aspect of whatever in life. They're the ones you nod to and move along to the next non-opinionated person.
YES! *pumps fist enthusiasticly* good decision, hermione! thanks so much
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
She's no dummy. She knows a good thing when she sees it!
I am glad she had to really think things through and the back and forth with herself.....I am glad she has come to a decision.....I hope it is the right one.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Hermione is always one to give things a lot of thought. She'll have to see with the rest of us whether it's a good choice or not!
thank you for updating. i love the story and i can't wait for the next chapter.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you are enjoying this.
Great story. Looking forward to Severus' much better future!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Hopefully it will be just that!
I'm so gald!! So do you have any more obstacles for them up your sleeve?? I hope not! I'm looking forward to their conversation!!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Well, none before he returns to his time. Who knows what will happen between now and the future.
I really like the chapter from Hermione's POV and that you shared what was going on in her mind.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Thank you! Hermione needed her own time. She really thought about it from all angles and came up with the best decision. (At least I think so!)
Yeah - I love having H talk to herself too - nice foil :-)
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
Heh, heh. Yeah, well, all the intelligent people need someone to talk to, right?
I love her inner dialog. And her acknowledgement that her pride is in the way.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Only I Could Turn Back Time)
I think her need for independence and to be first in everything caused her quite a stumbling block. At least she recognized it. It would have been terrible if she'd let that part of herself win.
