I started exploring fanfiction after the depression and withdrawal following the publication of Deathly Hallows. I generally ship Severus and Hermione, but have a fondness for Severus and Minerva.

I have a husband and son. They love basketball, and I love fanfiction. We kindly allow each other our obsessions.

So I guess the Snapes have normal kids; They want to be just like their parents and nothing like their parents all at once. Very sweet.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

LOL! What you say about kids is true and exceedingly ironic. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

As I was reading this lovely story, an old song started playing in my mind, like a soundtrak, It was '' When I grow to old to dream''. Thank you.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

I really enjoyed writing this one about Severus and Hermione's family life. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

That was too sweet! Are you sure it's allowed?

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

LOL! I guess I should have added a "Fluff" warning.

I would love to read more about these kids!

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

First of all, thank you for reviewing and letting me know you enjoyed the story.Second, I was about to point you toward the sequel when I realized I had never posted it here after writing it years ago. Thanks for the reminder. I've now submitted "The Size of the Heart," so it should be appearing once it's gone through the approval process.

Sweet! What a charming and humorous snapshot of the Snapes after a number of years. The bickering and the love matched beautifully. Great fic!

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Thank you! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this. I thought it might be fun to see the Snapes as a "typical family."

What an interesting one-shot from the POV of Hermione and Severus' children. I can almost see Severus "spying" on Cass and Nigel. What a hoot! And Alexander is the typical son choosing to go his own way despite what his father says. 8^)I loved seeing how very much in love and filled with passion Hermione and Severus still are. Well, done!Beth

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Thanks, Beth! I thought it would be fun to have Hermione and Severus be "typical" too-involved parents and their kids be "typical" complainers about their parents. But it all works with love at home, doesn't it? :)

Ooh, I loved it! I loved the opening - I did a double take at the names, so convinced I'd been that I was initially reading about Snape and Hermione. And then to see them at the end - the perfect little glimpse of their life - was just lovely. Well done!

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Thank you so much! I was going for that whole "just like their parents" idea which young people dread so much--and then realize that their parents are real people, too. I'm glad that came through. :)

Hey There! This was awesome. I hope my husband and i are like that when we're old and grey! Thanks for the cute fic. Much Love ~ Brena

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

I'm glad you liked it! I'm sure with their personalities, Hermione and Severus would have to work at keeping their marriage strong--just like real life, huh? :D

It's sweet the way they're bickering at each other but then it's the little nuances: the loving look, the hands on the shoulder, the kiss as he removes her cloak, that show the love between the two. Lovely job.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

It seemed realistic to think that with Severus and Hermione's strong personalities that they would bicker a bit. But a little bickering doesn't keep you from having a loving marriage. I'm so glad you commented on that!

luvsev

Aww. They had a love that lasted through the ages.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

It's nice to imagine it that way, isn't it? Thanks for reviewing. :)

Oh, yeah, that's right! I'm sure these two will grow up to be just like mum and dad.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

I bet they will, too. Maybe this is autobiographical. I certainly see my mom when I look in the mirror.Thanks for reviewing!

Sevvy

I loved the beginning of this where you made us think it was Severus waiting for Hermione - good work! Thanks for sharing this sweet little ficlet - if only there were more romantic, loving couples in the world like this, eh? (*Sighs in a hopelessly romantically-obsessed way*)! :-)

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Thanks for commenting on the opening. I had fun trying to make the kids like their parents and trying to have Hermione and Severus sound like an old, married couple.

Response from Sevvy (Reviewer)

Speaking as one half of an old(ish!) long-married couple, I'd say you've done an excellent job! :-)

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Well, I have 20 years of my own married experience to draw on. :)

Awwwwwww! How sweet. *sigh* They really were meant for each other.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

Oh, yes, I'm hopelessly romantic and fluffly where SSHG is concerned.

Snape family! I love this so much!! And the first drabble was perfect Not telling their names so that we thought it was Severus and Hermione, just to show how similar to them their kids are! Very nice!! :D

Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked this! I enjoyed writing about the Snape family. I think children are often more like their parents than they care to admit. :D Thank you for your review!

*smiles.... maybe that's why we write and read these stories? Our hopes for ourselves and those we love. I just hope that When I'm Old and Gray, I'll still love like that, too. And that my kids are still that good of friends.

Response from Prof M McGonagall (Author of When I'm Old and Grey)

I enjoyed writing about Severus and Hermione's family life. I'm glad you enjoyed reading about them. Thanks for reviewing!
