I am a classically trained singer with three children. I love Star Trek and have watched probably every episode of every series. Favorite HP charaters are Snape and McGonagall. (not as a couple.)

I like how you are writing the fairy godmother. She gives tit for tat to Severus. I look forward to the next chapter.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Severus really needs friends and mentors who can give him a go. He's so stubborn that he needs a kick now and then.
This is a really good first chapter. On to the next.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thanks, sevi!
O this was even more fun than your first chapter. I really enjoy the fact this fairy godmother only helps him to take his own responsability instead of presenting him the desired result on a silver platter. Very curious how this will work out. Can't wait to see how Severus is delivering his message to Hermione and if it indeed leads to trust or starts first with misunderstanding. I can think of a lot of scenario's... Hope you'll update soon.

Things that come easy are never truly appreciated. (That should be a Fortune cookie fortune!) Really, though, they aren't. These two need to build something lasting.
wow! what a perfectly lovely start! i look forward tyo more. thanks, and mega smoochies, my deb

Aw, thanks so much, my kimjo!
Argg! Now this is normally why I tend to shy away from WIP's, because the always cut off just when they're starting to get good. But I love your stories so much, I was willing to bypass that particular rule this time. Great start, funny dialogue (when Albus pauses asking Severus to dance... with Minerva gave me the giggles). Nice storyline as well, can't wait for more!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thank you! I know about the WIP thing. I can't help but read, though. I'm glad you gave this a shot. I'll have another chapter up soon. :)
I LOVE this fairy godmother scene! Its just perfect.I could take this as a one-shot just like this, but I'll be sure and bookmark it anyway. I'll be waiting to see what happens next.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
LOL, it does work as a oneshot, doesn't it? But I love to see how things develop, so on to the development!
I can tell this is going to be good - I look forward to more! I must say I think you have made Severus quite brave to take the F.G. up on this wish, after he remembered that there are Trelawneys and Umbridges out there. Or really, really desperate!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
He did ask if it was someone decent. He was hoping to have something special. I think it would be hard to pass up such a wish, even if most of me thought it was a bunch of bunk.
Great start. Can't wait for the next installment!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thanks!
You know, the entire time that Severus' fairy godmother was speaking to him, I kept hearing the voice of Billie Burke as Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz movie! 
At least she was kind enough to let him see the woman who would love him, rather than leaving him in the dark to flounder around... I'm looking forward to seeing just what he'll do with his newfound knowledge about Hermione!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
LOL, she was one of the 'people' I pictured for this fairy. Giselle from Enchanted was the other mainly. I love her character. She's so flighty, yet endearing.Arista was very kind to give Severus a giant hint. It would be so much harder looking at every woman and wondering... is she the one?
How sweet was that! Great beginning and I look forward to an update.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thank you! It's a fun little story. Something light. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
love it! can't wait for more!!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thank you!
OH WOW....I can't wait to see what happens next, I love this beginning...whoohoo!!!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Thank you! I'm so glad. More to come soon.
Thank you!Adorable except for the past 'relationships' of Severus - that was... appaling :P Thank you for the nice reading piece !
Aaah, that was sooo cute!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Glad you liked it!
Sorry, Debjunk, I couldn't wait to read the whole story. I'm guilty. But I liked it so much!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
LOL. Cheater! That's okay. I don't blame you. Thanks for the review.
Hmm, the thought of fairy godmothers is a little weird to me, but overall i liked the story, and I'm always glad to find a hg/ss story with a happy ending.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Ha ha, yes, well, I love me some Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. :) I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Thanks for reading my stories.
Mmm...opera...a perfect "dress to the nines" event. Hopefully Hermione won't give Severus a heart attack when he sees her in a fine gown! On the other hand, he could be pretty heart-stopping himself in a finely cut suit. Either way, I look forward to the date. Will Hermione mention something in Harry or Ron's hearing to set off a mini-firestorm? Or will they just say, "I'm surprised you two didn't start dating sooner, honestly!"
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
I think that the friends will be shocked yet accepting at this point. They love Hermione and want her to be happy. We'll see how everything goes.
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....An Update..I love it, and I'm so glad they had a nice breakfast together...and now a 'REAL' date...Whoohoo....I hope things go smoothly for them..can't wait to see what happens....YAYAYAY!!!!!!
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
Smooth and Severus aren't usually synonomous. BUT, there's only one chapter left, so it can't be too bad, right?
This is truely a good story. It was cute to see Severus' reaction to Hermione not only have breakfast with him but agreeing to go on a date with him. Can't wait to see what happens on said date.

I'm so glad you are enjoying it. More to come soon.
“It’s just so romantic, Ginny. You’ve been in love with him since you were a little girl, and now you’re getting married!”
That's not romantic, that's stalkerish. Still, it's not like any of us cares about the happiness of Harry or Ginny so never mind:-)
Nice take on the fairy godmother idea.
Response from debjunk (Author of If Wishes Were Fishes)
*Snort* Yeah, that could definitely be thought of as stalkerish, I guess. :)
