Sequel to Bound to Happen. Jealous. Possessive. Endlessly devoted. Such words could easily describe a man like Severus Snape, especially in regards to his wife. Unfortunately, Snape finds himself in the position of shielding Hermione from the temptation of a hot-blooded and disturbingly older man—himself. Story beta'ed by Madbrilliant, luvsev and Southernwitch!

I enjoy writing simple poetry about love, life, and betrayal; either about myself or those closest to me.
Notice! December 2, 2010:
This site is amazing. The numerous reviews and reads I have received here has been beyond humbling. However as I have gotten older, RL has taken main priority to reading and writing fanfic. Any tiny fraction of personal time I am able to indulge myself has been spent in the fandom, but I must admit it had been dwindling more and more. I will NEVER abandon anything I have begun, and attempt to finish my WIPs every day. However, like many authors, I have made the mistake of submitting my work to more archives than I am capable of maintaining with the care that is due them. If I am able and time willing, I might continue to update my fics here, but my main priority lies elsewhere. MODERATED ARCHIVES ARE A BLESSING AND NECESSARY FOR QUALITY FIC. I stand by that. Unfortunately submitting my fics to various moderated archives means more time necessary to edit the various mistakes each individual archives will find in my work. My fics will continue to be updated at Ashwinder and Potter Place Archives, anywhere else will have to take a back seat. This is my problem and I take full responsibility. Thank you for reading, reccing, voting, and reviewing my fics on The Petulant Poetess!
Reviews for Bound to Happen Again
I'm surprised that Severus has so much bitterness in him. How can he fall in love with her if he can't work through it, and very quickly I must add. After all, the whole Marriage Act has a purpose... *grin*
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
:sighs: Poor Severus, he's in over his head. Next chapter complete and should be up in a few days! Thank you for the review!
nomnomnomI love how everything is getting filled in! Hermione's curious temperment and subtle fixation v Severus' knowledge of the future and what a vixen Hermione is...Scrumptious!The update made my day!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed it. The next chapter is complete and should be in queue very soon! Much more SSHG interactions to come. Thank you for your continued reviews!
I would love to know what is actually going on in that head of his. It seems like he knows he is meant to marry her, but is almost waiting for the woman he met in the future, not the one she is now. Poor man. It must be very confusing for him.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
We might get more insight into Snape's thoughts next chapter =P... a chapter which is complete! Thank you so much for your continued reviews!
Well he is fighting it. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Great chapter.Sevibaby
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Next chapter complete, and it should be interesting indeed! Thank you for the review!
Despite Hermione's vaunted intelligence, she can also be monumentally thick at times -- clearly, Dennis is infatuated with her but has no chance of being with her because the Marriage Enhancement Act will forbid two Muggleborns from marrying each other (even if Hermione were interested in him, and it seems fairly clear that she isn't in the slightest). I feel sorry for him -- and also for Severus, since he's been fighting with his own attraction to her even though he has reason to believe that he'll end up married to her.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
I feel sorry for Dennis too! Hopefully Hermione will learn more as she goes along. As for Snape, well... hopefully he'll answer some questions next chapter! Thank you for the review!
He's really going in the opposite direction to hide his feelings from her, huh? I kind of feel sorry for him, but he's being a dolt.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
There are still so many unanswered questions as far as Snape is concerned. Next chapter should be enlightening! Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)

Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
To say the least! Much more to come. Thank you for reading!
Oooooooh! The tension builds! I'd love to knw what is really going through Snape's mind. But I guess I'll have to wait to find out.Looking foorward to your next update! Oh yeah, it's great to see Draco back at Hogwarts, too.Beth
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Maybe you won't have to wait TO long =D. Next chapter complete, with more Draco and Snape! Thank you for the review!
dammit, only three chapters available. :( mehopes you update every day. so far this is pretty good. :) ill have to make a search for the prequel, because the beginning of this story kind of confused me.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
By now I see you've read the other story. I'm pleased you enjoyed it so far, and the next chapter is complete. Thank you for reading!
The tension is rife, wish we knew what was going on in Snape's head (well more than we already do). Can't wait to see who proposes to who and under what circumstances...Can't wait to read more, please update soon!

Thank you so much!
NOOOO It can't stop there yet!! arg!!! Where is more? Direct me to more!!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Next chapter is complete and should be in queue shortly! Thank you so much for your review!
Do you know what I would like right now very much? An insight into Severus's mind when he shatters. Today, if possible. Tomorrow, if not. Later, incomprehensible.Alas, we will have to wait. Won't we? Much longer than two days. But one can wish for miracles.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Ha, jokes on you! Next chapter IS complete.... lol. I doubt it will be up in two days, what with beta and queue, but I'm really trying to write as much as possible before the challenge is over! And insight into Severus' mind... Hmmmm.... we'll see =). Thank you so much for your continued reviews!

Isn't that good news to wake up to? Thanks!
MLC MLC!! *happy dance* I'm so happy you're including one of my favourite challenge in this.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Thank you! Pleased you enjoyed this. More on its way. Thank you for the review!
Very good development so far (can't believe its only 2 chapters)!I think the disappointment on Severus' part in regards to the photo is in finding out *this* is how he ends up married to Hermione (a question he was asking himself from the beginning). Finding out (as of right now anyway) that it wasn't initiated on either of their parts by any type of feelings, but compelled based on the MEA...I like the feeling implied in the story that there's something more already there on Hermione's part its just now a matter of convincing Severus.Can't wait to read more!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
All I will say in response to this review is... SQUEE!!!! Ok, can't say no more. Thank you for reading and the review!
Very good tie-in to Bound to Happen. Great way to end the chapter! Can't wait to read more!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Thank you so much! More on its way. Thank you for the review!
This situation is going to get much worse before it even begins. Poor Hermione, she's in for a rough ride. She must feel so sad. Stupid photo!!! Severus needs to get himself under control. He's not doing himself any favors spouting off. Great update. :D
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Not doing himself any favors at all! Happy you enjoyed it, more on its way. Thank you for the read and review!
Excellent! Severus continues to do battle with himself and loses at every turn. If I've read the "Baby Boom Enhancement Act" correctly, Severus will have to submit Contract Proposals to five different witches by the end of January, 2000.And Hermione will have to accept a Contract Proposal by the last day of her 21st year. It is now September, 1999, and Hermione is about 18 or 19 years old... But the law doesn't specify how young a witch can be when she accepts a Contract, so within the next four months Severus will have to propose marriage to and be accepted by a witch. That means that both of them will have to face their thoughts about the other and decide if they want to take a chance on having to marry someone they really don't want to, or whether they will wed each other and make the best of the situation that they can.The photo that Hermione took of Severus showed him looking infuriated and horrified, but then he seemed to turn away in defeated disappointment. What's a girl to think? Well of course, she will think that he is so NOT looking forward to marrying her... But looking at things logically, if he really didn't want to marry her, he could submit Contracts to five other witches that he might find more acceptable. I think the look on his face was one of horror that he might lose her to another wizard's Contract, and disappointment at that thought. Besides, he had defended her at Headmistress McGonagall's sharp rebuke (never mind that he had also told Hermione that he wasn't talking TO her when she thanked him).
This gets gooder and gooder. I can't wait to see how all this plays out!

Thank you so much for the wonderfully long review, beth! The next few months will be trying, indeed for all involved. The next chapter is complete. Thank you for the read and review!
Very intriguing... I'm looking forward to more!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Thank you! Next chapter complete and with the beta! Thank you for the read and review!
I am completely hooked!! I loved the first story and this one is even more intriguing!!! I cant wait to see what comes next. Poor Hermione. She has no idea! Keep up the good work!!! I cant wait for the next update!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
I do feel bad for Hermione. She is being put through so much unneeded grief. Very excited you are enjoying it! More on its way
Interesting what the photp revealed: is he looking like that because he thinks this marriage law is going to take his chances of marrying her away from him? Can't wait for more.
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
As you can see, there are many questions that need to be answered. Thank you for the review! Next chapter on its way.
I am so glad you're writing this story. I enjoyed the first and so far, this is just as good! Yay!
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Thank you so much! Much more to come!
Well, that was not what I expected the picture to show. So will you tell us what causes squibs?
Response from Battle of Lissa (Author of Bound to Happen Again)
Perhap I'll explain more, if it pertains to the story of course. Thank you so much for reading and your review! Next chapter finished and with the beta.
