What a cracker of a start! Fantastic!
From your last lines it seems that you are directing the plot early and giving us thoughts on the possible delightful interactions. Although I suspect it will take a bit for him to re-frame his thoughts and towards those he had to suffer teaching.
My mind is going back to the Canon line where Dumbledore tells Severus (to his distress) that perhaps the hat sorts too soon...I am assuming this will be of significance(?) I did like the discussion on killing each other - priceless!
BTW Hermione's hair looks very reddish...
Looking forward to the next and further chapters.
Cheers.
A very interesting first chapter, as if you could write anything else thatn interesting stories:-)) I just love the plot and I am so looking forward to read more!!!
Oh, what fun! There were so many great lines in this opening chapter, it's hard to choose amongst them, but I did really like:
‘No, I am not going to kill you,’ the old man responded, sounding slightly amused.
‘Why not?’ Severus asked querulously. ‘I’d do it for you, if you asked me.’
I nearly snorted soda out my nose when I read that exchange! Beautiful. Sev's characterization was spot-on, dialogue was brilliant, and talk about a fate worse than death: to go back to being a teenager. Still, it could have been worse. He could have had to go through puberty again! No one should have to go through that twice...
I know this is going to be a great story, and I can't wait until the next chapter is up!
Ooh, I've read this sort of premise before but not with a threat of death. And I like the prophecy. I am looking forward to more of this.
Oh Wow!! What an incredible start - as always your prose is so clean and crisp it is a joy to read - but what a premise!!! Here's hoping for quick validation queues and super fast updates!
‘What?’ Severus yelped, sounding rather like a dog whose tail has been slammed in a door.
Is it wrong that that line made me laugh out loud? *Snicker*
Poor Severus ... by all accounts, his adolescent years were anything but stellar, and I imagine that as a supposedly new student that he will have to be re-sorted. I suspect his upcoming encounter with the Sorting Hat could be quite interesting indeed.
And then there's the Hermione factor.
You have me completely hooked already, I can't wait to see where you take us from here!
A brand new shiny Subversa fic! Hip hip hooray! I haven't spent much time lately on LJ so I've missed this news. I've seen a premise similar to this written before, but I'm sure you will bring your own unique perspective to it. I enjoyed the bit about Dumbledore not having asked Snape to kill him. Tee hee. I noticed that poor Lucius gets the axe at the beginning here. No messy plotline to anger Shiv, eh? I'll be keeping an Eagle eye out for the next chapter. I'm excited.
God, what a choice. A slow, painful death or being 17 again? Dumbledore sure doesn't make this easy.
ahhh! Looking forward to more. can't wait.
Poor guy. Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse. But I bet you have a light at the end of the tunnel for him (hope it isn't an on-coming train).
Does the red & gold tie in the picture mean that Severus will get sorted into gryffindor???? WHOA
Oh baby! *rubbing hands together in glee*
I'm already impatient for the next chapter!
Wonderful set-up, of course. Poor Severus, alone and lonely, having to endure the teen years again, and now he has to put up with one know-it-all Hermione Granger!
*sigh* Perfect!
Oh! I read this at the Exchange! It was one of my top faves. Happy to know who wrote it now. Fantastic story.
This has already got me hooked! Very promising, indeed! I can't wait to find out what is happening to these Death Eaters and see if Severus can finally rid himself of the Dark Mark. And, of course, that he'll have to be subject to a good dose of Gryffindor know-it-all, along the way. :D Thanks for sharing! -CC
Thank you for your new story! Will wait for the continuation. Like it! ;) *****
Oh I am excited!!!! This is going to be good!
Nice gifts! :)
What a wonderful story, thank you so much!
Thank you so much, I love a happy ending.
I'm so glad the got all that worked out, I was beginning to get worried.
I wonder what it is that he has to do?
'I love you, Severus', OMG, I can not believe she told him this way. I really thought she would wait until they found a cure first. I hope she doesn't get her heart broken.
I think this is the best Christmas Hogwarts has ever seen.
This was the sweetest chapter, they are wonderful together. I hope he never goes back to his old empty life.
I love Neville and Luna together they are adorable.
I can't wait to see how he explains the notes from 1978.
I wonder if she is starting to suspect who he really is?
Beautiful but sad chapter, It shows how truly alone Severus is and has always been. If he lets Hermione in his life he will never be alone again, and besides that they are so darn cute together.
