Just an avid reader who somehow stumbled into HP fanfiction. I read and sometimes, I write.
Reviews for The Life Unlived
Wow, that chapter was so wonderful!!! I'm almost crying, it's sooo sweet! Great work!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you very much. gabi! I'm glad you're still enjoying it!
Your still keeping me guessing how this situation come about! But I love it lol. Look forward to more.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
*grins* Glad to know I'm keeping you guessing! LOLThank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it thus far!
You'd think Hermione would ask how he survived the war? If he really didn't die?Anyway, I can't wait for more... the lack of answers is frustrating and interesting. lol.All the best,Elaine
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you very much! I know the lack of answers is frustrating, but answers will come. Some sooner than others. ;) But there is a method to my madness, I promise!Hermione will be asking questions in the next chapter -- she just needed to get over her fear and confusion first. Now that she feels more comfortable with Severus, and her emotional state is more settled, she'll be more willing to ask those questions. More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. :)Thanks, again!
Thanks for not making me suffer to much with her not remembering. I know it's tough for her but I just want to see her be with Severus 'cause he obviously loves her. But I think there is alot more to this story then your letting on...I will be waiting patiently.

Ah ... you know me so well. But I won't say anything more. LOL ;)More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. Thank you so much!
*wiggles excitedly* That was beautiful! You're really approaching this in such a delicate and believeable way. Kudos to you; it's so well done! I'm so anxious for more.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
*grins* Thank you so much for the lovely review! I'm thrilled that you find this beilevable -- I worked really hard on getting the emotions/reactions just right, even talking it over with a psychologist to ensure their responses were realistic. I'm so glad it paid off! More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post right now. :)Thanks, again!
this is fab! love the long chapter ;) long is always good, i say!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Long chapters rock! LOL Thank you so much! :D
wonderful!! Thank you for your hard work!

I'm glad that Hermione is going back to work, doesn't seem like her job would change all that much in 5 years, you get different projects all the time anyways. I feel for Severus, he seems to be so in love with Hermione but she has no idea how everything came about so she keeps managing to say/do the wrong thing. I hope that they come to a resolution soon.Looking forward to the next chapter. =)
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Yes, exactly! I'm so glad you picked up on that -- there have been some questions about that on other archives. I don't think it would take much at all to get her back into the swing of things, given the job is mostly research. :)I think they're crossed a major hurdle in this chapter, and reconnecting will be much easier from here on out. More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now! :)Thank you so much!
good, I think I am confused as Hermione though
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you! And yes, Hermione is very confused, the poor dear. More to come very soon! :)
Very interesting, easy to read.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you very much! :)
Oh, that was perfect.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you're enjoying it thus far!
For the time being, this is quite disconcerting (probably as a result of your excellent writing that describes Hermione's confusion most accurately). As I am sure that we will be given an explanation in due time, I can't do anything but hope that you will update soon...
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
You got it! Yes, she's very, very confused, and that is exactly what I was trying to portray. Whew! :DMore to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to update very soon.
What a wonderful life Hermione and Severus have! I hope she remembers soon, because I think she's missing out on a fabulous deal. Great chapter, and looking forward to more soon!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
I'm glad you mentioned that! She really is missing out on a very lovely life. More on that to come. :) Thank you so very much!
what an intriguing story! i can't wait to see how it goes. thanks so much

Poor Severus. I can't wait till I know how she got into this situation. Look forward to more.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
It's really heartbreaking for him. I'm glad you're enjoying the story thus far. More to come soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. :)Thank you so much!
Very, very touching; described beautifully. I'm so glad you'll update fast.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you so much, Hannah! More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post chapter three right now. :)
Heartbreaking but wonderful. Poor, poor Severus. You have captured his grief wonderfully. Feel quite teary now!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you mentioned Severus' grief. Because it's in Hermione's POV, I knew her confusion and anxiety would come through, but I was hoping that Severus' heartbreak would, as well. I'm thrilled to know that it did!*passes the tissues* Um ... you might wanna keep those handy for a while, or so I'm told. *winces*More to come soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. :)Thanks, again!
i'm so confused! [but in a good way] what in dante's inferno did that weird little object do? i was all puzzled over it, then i went to have a shower and had a eureka moment. i thought: time travel! but then i soon deflated. what would be the point of that? why would this little thing be so malicious to give her five years' worth of amnesia? i don't even watch television, so i can't wrack my brains for tv plot devices. curses. my only consolation is that it seems to be updating quickly.canon!luna annoys the heck out of me, but i adore the idea of snape being buddy-buddy with the lovegoods. it's all too perfect.
Response from theslacker (Reviewer)
speaking of luna... i would've gone to her straight away! she was the last person who saw you! retrace your steps to find what you've lost!
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Ah, you're asking the right questions! As for Luna, I imagine that Hermione did ask questions, but was told what the Healer told her when she woke up -- she fell at Luna's and hit her head. Is that all there is to it? My lips are sealed. :DThank you so much! :)Oh, and I'm so glad you like the idea of Snape being friends with the Lovegoods. I really loved it once I started thinking about it -- and more on that later!
Okay, bad guess on my part. No alternate reality, just merely jumped 5 years into the future. Interesting.Looking forward to where you're going with this. Hoping the next chapter's up soon. =)
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
My lips are still sealed. LOL ;) I'm so glad you're enjoying it. Chapter three up in a few minutes!Thanks, again!
Hmmmm...isn't that interesting? I'm going to guess the wooden sphere took her to some alternate reality, but I have absolutely no idea how or why. Looking forward to reading the next chapter.Great first chapter. =)
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
*grins* My lips are sealed! LOL More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. Thank you so much!
Oh poor Severus, poor Hermione. But I know you won't let us down and everything will be okay. I could not imagine forgetting the last 5 years of my life.
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
I couldn't imagine such a thing either, and it took a lot of soul searching and thinking before I could write these chapters. I could only think of how confusing it would be. I hope that comes through! More to come soon - I'm getting ready to post the next chapter now. :)Thank you so much!
Wow, this was certainly unexpected!! Great plot twist, I've never read anything remotely like that and I'm hooked. I'm just so glad you're posting so regularly...
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Hi, gabi! I'm glad that I've intrigued you! More to come very soon -- I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. :) Thank you so much!
This is wonderful. I think the cottage being so lovely combined with the perfect way he treats her would only add to her confusion. I mean, how could you not remember that?
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
She's very confused, and Severus is heartbroken. It's awful, all the way around. I'm so glad you're enjoying it thus far! Thank you so much!
oh man!! how unbearably beautiful in its sadness! I love how much you draw a reader in with your empathic characters! Please have Luna hurry in and save the day soon!!! Or what ever it is you have planned -
Response from sshg316 (Author of The Life Unlived)
Thank you so very much for the lovely review! More to come soon - I'm getting ready to post the next chapter right now. :)
