It would be such a nightmare to have to be 17 again. Good luck Severus Snape, you're going to need it.

This was very good. A Heart pounding love story from start to finish. Beaytiful.

Well Im glad he didn't turn into a berk horrified at himself so that he would take of running and hurt her feelings....much ado about nothing indeed. Good story. I like it!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

"It felt better than blasting rose bushes at the bloody Yule Ball."


Bout time something cheered him. and LMfao!

Quick note: Should have Slughorn give 5 points to Slytherin on the Befuddlement Draught as well. Zabini is Granger's partner, n'estce pas?

I would just take out the "muggleborn' part of the prophecy BUT it is the BEST prophecy ANYONE (excluding JK hereself) has written!!! Intellectuals know that Helen (troy) went home to Menelaus (most just watched Brad Pitt strut araound like a fool) and birthed the first HERMIONE AND you began the recitation of the first line of prophecy again as is canon-esque. Well done. BTW LOVE the first chapter, on tenterhooks here!

 ‘Come quickly! Sybill is prophesying!’The correct terminology would be 'Sybill is prophesizing'Not trying to pick at you, it's just that I love all your work and you are a wonderful author, and have excellent betas who just missed a lil' something, didn't want anything making you look foolish. Other than that ECCELENTE: You have unlocked the Capo Del Quillioni award for being superbad. The godfather is impressed and has awarded you with 5 favor points!

oh yeah, and when "adin" gets older wouldnt he look an awful like the snape they know (sure healther and less stressfull) and some would put two and two together?

yay im glad snape stayed young- it was his reward and hermione knows who he is. however i wanted others to know. at least nevellie!!!

‘It means you finally know that you deserve it.’  awwwwwwwwww

however, the end came so speedy it was just so blurry the way it happened and i felt cheated it was so increbily rushed.

but otherwise i loved it especially all the neveille and snape interaction. awww i want a neveille and snape bff fic!

awww nice little adive to the little boy. but i didnt catch the feast slip like hermione had. when will she add things up.

good on hermione not to forget her studies. He was unable to hide his relief at these words, though he strove to sound nonchalant as he said, ‘I’ll probably be there too.’ He smiled at her—like a lovesick lapdog! awwww

mcgonagall does have a penchant for being a booze hound doesnt she?

the magic we make between us when we’re together—and I don’t care what I have to do to keep it!’ well that does sound like severus a bit ago.
all that set up hermione. i thought she might have known and she played it beautifully. i liked all her info that she compiled. i like how they hugged each other instead of his fully running away. but it still was delieverd with what herminoe sensed: ‘No, I can feel you pulling away from me—you’re doing that stupid, pointless thing—you don’t have to do it …’

I can'thelp but hope he remains young, he deserves a life, an entire life.

Hermione protesting that SHE is the know-it-all is so honest and real.  Absolutely true.

Thanks for this delightful and sweet tale.

'Hermione's got loads of friends, Adin—including me. Don't make us mad at you by hurting her.'
Neville had been brave to stand up to him about Hermione.  i love you neveille! what an awesome friend you are. facing your own friends about your other friends.

geee hermione do your parents ever see you? cute snowfight scene.

that kissing one’s former student was not nearly so bad as shagging said student, and that he could be forgiven for kissing, but that shagging was right out. agreed.

well they are definately getting extremely close giving each other complimentary presents without knowing so.

fear driving him into Professor Snape’s persona. nicely said. and coming up with the mother bit was a good excuse for all the emotions involved.

Under no circumstances could he let her—let them—find out who he was. uh -oh. what will he do to maintain that.

 Severus had endured numerous long, involved conversations with Neville on the subject of Luna, but poor Dean actually had to sleep in the same dormitory with him.  ^____^

Neville gasped and attempted to tread on his foot under the table, but Severus ignored him.  ^___^ is neveille going to be the one giving the advice now?

With a pitying smile, she lowered her eyes again to her parchment, not dignifying his lie with a comment.
 awwww

‘How sad,’ she said, her voice dripping with something that was definitely not sympathy. ‘Did all the other boys turn you down?’  ooohhh shit . that was nasty hermione.

She smiled ruefully, extending a hand to him, as if to keep him with her. ‘Any attention is better than none at all,’ she said wistfully. aww it was a cute and happy but sad scene and this line just made me feel for the poor girl.

Her eyes softened slightly, and she sat again. ‘Don’t push me too far, Adin,’ she said quietly. ‘Even I have my limits.’ yup.

awww the boys and girls were nice. but oooh nevielle senced snape. i wonder if neveille will look into that.

'Why wouldn't I be speaking to you?' she asked rhetorically, a tiny smile upon her lips. 'We've slept together, haven't we?'
heh heh heh. nice one granger.

'Bulstrode keeps talking to me,' Neville responded, still speaking quietly, 'but she's a bit of a bully … I don't think I could like her.' heh. cutie

 'but any girl who would prefer that prat to you probably isn't worth your time, mate.'
Neville's grin became even wider. 'Thanks, Adin,' he said happily. awwww super cute. they are so adorable together. i just want to squeeze them.

she had enveloped Severus in the ranks of her closest friends, and no matter what he did, she treated him with affectionate acceptance.
It was a filthy tactic and one that was difficult to counter. ^____^

‘why do you have classroom notes for Professor McGonagall’s seventh-year Transfiguration class through June of 1978?’  uh-oh.

 It might have been funny if he had not been so wretched … he was not to be permitted to keep even one good thing from this entire miserable episode. awwwww poor snape-but you knew it was coming.

i like the allison and jared bit here-it was a good comparison to another couple that was much more lighthearted.

Her hair had been gathered in a frightful bunch at her neck, her clothes looked as if she had slept in them, and her face was an unhealthy, greyish-white. ... here comes the wratch
Accordingly, he did not creep down to the common room until nearly eight o’clock that night, and as he attempted to move unobtrusively to the portrait hole, Neville loomed up in front of him, looking a bit like the Wrath of God. whoo hooo. and yes i aplauded just now after this line and my sister asked what was that for.
and then neveille got all the attention of those in the common room and wouldnt let snape escape Neville shifted to the side, blocking him. ‘I want to know what you’ve done to Hermione.’ love you neveille.and then all the other boys ganged up on him. but the ginny- good girl ginny very well done. and then afterwards when she talked to snape alone.

 He had now regained his rightful place in the universe: He was excluded, reviled, and comprehensively misunderstood. awwww what a pessimist.

Apparently, Allison couldn’t resist the female urge to grind her rival into the dust.  heh.

of course though they get the cure when everything in the love life section is gonig the way it is. why mst all the events occr together for a speedy end in fics?

good on luna.

There would be no fresh start for him, and in many ways, he felt he’d never had one. awww poor snape.

and neveille going to say sorry. You always listened to me when I wanted to talk about girls,’ he said, anxious eyes searching Severus’ face. ‘Do you need to talk to someone about Hermione? awwww yay finally. i do hope they keep their friendship afterwards.

Severus knew, even as he was doing it, that the uncontrolled laughter would alarm Neville, but he would never be able to explain to his round-faced friend how pathetic it was that a thirty-seven-year-old man should need relationship advice from the person whose Boggart he personified. heh heh heh, it it is quite funny when you think about it that way.

The mention of his name didn’t bring about a storm of disgusted protests? awwww

No!’ she shrieked. ‘I’m the know-it-all!’ ooooh boy.

Severus pulled himself to his full height, the Potions master, preparing to annihilate Weasley with a few well-chosen words. The girl was, after all, their best friend, not his. heh. exactly.

and i guess they are back together. but boy when he returns to being snape how will the students react? i really do hope we get to see it.

‘Sod what your gran wants,’ he said gruffly. ‘You go with your strengths.’
A defiant grin touched Neville’s round face. ‘Yeah,’ he said, punching Severus’ shoulder as he squeezed through the crowd to go down for breakfast. ‘I can do what I want.’
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww they are so cute together!

He’d had his counselling twenty years ago with fat old Slughorn, who had, by that time, ceased to have any use for Severus because Lily had already dropped him as a friend. Apparently, Slughorn had decided that talent would not be enough to make a success of Severus Snape if he did not also have the power of influential friends behind him. how crappy of a teeacher, a head of house no less.

poor slytherins and quidditch. that would definately be an obvious time to how many students they lost to DE since so many of the team members have died. 

well snape sacrificies himself once again for potter. nicely written match. 'You look like hell, Adin—how do you feel?'
‘… not quite that good,’  ^_______^

aww bother is a cutie.

poor hermione. being pulled and pushed over and over. their scene together was sweet as well.

good he is trying to end it with hermione. but if things go on later he totally needs to tell her who he is.

as for dean and padma i know it hurts more that its her sister but ist it better that he mistaken her for her twin when all costumed up? or does it make it worse since thats exacly who he should be able to tell her apart from?

Dean traded a droll look with Severus; everyone knew Ginny kept Potter on a very short leash. heh.

‘Good show, Neville,’  agreed.

‘Ask him who he likes and tell me,’ Luna said simply. luna is so cute asking that of snape. tee hee i absolutely adore that.

ooh that known trailing bit and then forcing himself into their lunch. nice.

im too old for you= come on hermione catch on.

Severus slanted a glance at the round-faced Longbottom, of whom he had become rather protectively fond in the last two months.  awww good. i was hoping he would at the beginning but it seemed not likely then.

 He would either look like a prat or a prince, he supposed, and his clever play on words made him snort in amusement. hee hee hee

the bit with the lipstick. what a flirt.

Avoid Granger. She suspects you—she makes you stupid. heh.

The bushy silver eyebrows rose. 'Mr Dickens was a fine Muggle man, and we enjoyed following his serials.' ^_______^


nice that the age alteration charm shelf was empty-but i think that would definately make er suspicious if not confirm it.

and yes it sucks when someone steals your place in the library.

awww the quiddich picture scene was cute.
but ahh potter would be another to have seen his young face but it was incredibly fleeting so no hopes there. but hey he seems to be in support of adin liking hermione.

adin the love support. cute with the two of them breaking their quills in jealousy.

i do hope the students will eventually find out that adin is snape. sure there is luna, as soon as i saw her i thought she would know-but i mean everyone else.
 and once again hermione has to run from a boy's advances-but she should have felt it coming with him inviting her up to his room at night after a dance. and cutie neveille being kicked out of his room.

but oo with thouse words and xpression will hermione know its snape? we'll see.

I agree with harrypotterwanter that them having children in their mid-thirties is great.  I think it's so much easier to have kids in your thirties, you have your own head on straight and can be a calmer parent.

Thanks for this lovely tale.  happy ending and a second chance. 

yes with lupin teaching you think remus would be suspicious of adin and his simularities to snape especially if you factor in werewolf abilities.

‘I know I won’t go,’ Severus said, and Neville looked a bit more cheerful. awwwww cuties.



 ‘Are you comfortable?’
The Vane girl gave him a bedazzling smile. ‘Oh yes, thank you!’ and her friends murmured their agreement.
‘Excellent,’ Severus said and stood, striding away from them to the castle, where lunch was being served. heh.

‘It’s the way you move,’ she admitted, her voice barely audible. ‘Like a big cat—not like other boys …’  ^____^ and in like ‘Oh, you’ve got it all right,’


yup i thought that hit would land him the interest of joining quidditch.

‘Hardly!’ Weasley snorted, his face still alarmingly red. ‘I pity the wizard who gets in her knickers.’
Severus felt a flash of inexplicable anger at this casual, disrespectful reference to Granger, but it dissipated as a momentary shadow passed over Weasley’s face, and the redhead took a deep breath. ‘She’s been my best friend since first year,’ he said. ‘We keep trying, but I don’t think we click that way, you know?’ im really glad for that followup with ron and his further feelings about therefore making him the ron weasley we know. and how nicely it compares to snape's boyhood.

ah so it will be granger with the tattoo. i thought it was her in the first chapter then later i thought it was a convienent unknow bum but now it looks as if it will return to granger.  well now snape is beating off to a known student.

Severus raised his brows interrogatively. ‘Did you have a question, or do you wish to continue making statements about facts with which I am quite conversant?’ ^___^

awww poor young death eaters. thats so sad and damn ministry for not giving dumbledore acess to them. but youd think he could have tried harder considering how many times voldemort was able to break them out.

and gee no other hogwart students have grat minds?
