Age 59, I have been a Severus and Alan Rickman fan for a couple years.  I post SS/HG stories.

I went to NY last week to see Seminar (Jan 4, 20012)  It was wonderful.
Shades of Severus in his character and his house.  I was priviledge to see Alan up close an personal after the play.

Another great chapter!  I really like when Severus and Poppy have a close relationship.  I bet she would have some stories to tell.  I'm glad they are involving her in the bonding.  And will Severus please talk to Draco.  It's been on his to do list for awhile now.  Maybe it won't help, but it can't hurt... I hope :)

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you so much for the review.  Severus will talk to Draco in the next chapter.  I wanted SS to be close to someone and Poppy works well for this story.  She would have seen him grow up and she would have tended to his injuries time and time again.  I'm so glad its working.

I like how they still intend to have the magical binding and intend to include Poppy in the ceremony.  Very cute on the stories that Poppy has to share with Hermione.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank glad yoou enjoyed it.  The magical bonding won't be for some time.  This story is complete but 56 chapters long.  There is a lot of story left to tell.Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I like the way they told the people who matter to them.

Okay, my only nitpick is the same as last chapter. The winter is *cold* in the UK, no matter where you are. Might I suggest relocating the cabin to one of the British possessions in the Caribbean or to New Zealand or Australia. Those places would make more sense for lying out and getting a tan midwinter. ^_~I like it that Severus is becoming more playful as time goes on and that he considers Poppy a mother-figure. You make your characters seem almost alive with your storytelling. ^_^

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you I will mention this to The Tpp beta and see what she thinks about making those adjustments.Thank you for thinking I make the scenes come alive.  It's a great compliment and I appreciate it.'Thank you for the review.

This was another great chapter.  I love that they are so close yet so far apart.  Can't wait to hear what horrorfying stories Poppy has to tell.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

LOL  I will have to check to see if I ever added anymore stories.  A Chink in their relationship, a bit of doubt in their trust but I hear that happens to married people and marraige is a struggle. (Never having been there I just take their words for it).Thank you for your review.

Another good chapter!  I like the way Severus handled his talk with Mr. Filch.  He may be newly free to come and go, and needs to brush up on a few thing, but one thing he is completely current on is dealing with the possibly irritated and insecure caretaker.  He show great respect for the older man and for his pet.  I think the potion he is making for Mrs. Norris will bring important dividends in the future.Minerva's news that Percy Weasley is now the Minister of Magic was a shock, and I gather that there is something afoot that the Order is determined to keep an eye on.  That's probably a good idea.I hope Severus gets an opportunity to talk with Draco soon.  I think it could be a very good thing if the two of them were able to just sit down and talk about the things that happened all those years ago and what their hopes for the future are.I liked the way he and Hermione spent their evening.  I wouldn't mind a lovely massage by the Potions master.  LIL!Thanks for this wonderful chapter.Beth

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thanks, I was enjoying the situation with filch too.  I write there scenes and really they sort of write themselves.  I can just see that disgusting cat LOL.  Every one picked up on the Percy thing.  These chapters were written a year ago and I, to be honest, never followed up on that.  Severus does go see Draco.  I hope you like that talk and the next few chapters as they deal with Scorpious in a very effective way.  I enjoyed that massage as much as all you ladies LOL.  Wouldn't we all like to be in that spot :)Thank you so much for thegreat review.Jeannie

braye27

I'm glad they have made the progress they have.  Even though Hermione is a little apprehensive about Scorpius being in her class again today, I think her determination to follow through is a step in the right direction.Good job, Jeannie!  Now I'm off to the next chapter.Beth

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you, I know they have a lot to get through, but they are always their best together and they will find there way there becasue fo the love and trust they have in eachother.Thanks, Jeannie

Great chapter.  I'd love to have Severus oil me up... LOL.  Looking forward to another update  :-)

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you, I'm with you there.  LOL  I hope to have another up soon.  Its in the Queue.Thank you for your review.

I was glad to see Severus being so civil to Filch.  I think the potion for Mrs. Norris was the smartest thing he could have done to get in good with the man.  It is too bad that he feels  like his job is so inadequate, but it does allow him the time to take care of Hermione which a more demanding position would not. I love that Albus and James are looking out for Hermione, just like having her own mini version of Ron and Harry around.  I am really anxious to see where the Scorpius storyline goes.  He is certainly just biding his time until he can strike again.  Looking forward to more!  Incidentally, I almost took a star away for making me want chocolate cheesecake and an amazing massage at a time of night where neither are possible...

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Can you just see that Rotten cat.  Ughh.  Well for a man who was the Potion's teacher and once Headmaster security guard is quite a step down.  He's goong to be way to busy to think about his job much.  He'd going to be dealing with Scorpius next and soending some special time with Hermione. I hope you like were the Scorpius story line goes.I guess it is but Albus is the major character and James sort's of fades awayHAHA Im with you Severus can give me one of those massages anytime.  Chocolate Cheesecake yummy but it doesn't like me.  Than you for your review.  AGOAC is now finished (56) chapters :)

Marty21

Glad her first day went well, even though I still don't trust Scorpious.Also happy you have Albus and James shadowing him to keep him in line. Wow Percy as the Minister of Magic I always knew he was a  kiss ass lol. Anyways Good chapter, I love the steamy part. What I wouldn't give to have  sensual massage by Severus. *Sighs*  I liked the interaction between Severus and Filch made me giggle how Severus was buttering him up lol.  

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you for the very kind analysis of the chapter.  I usually don;t have so many characters in my stories but this one just keeps growing and needs are these epople to make it interesting.Glad you like the Massage I quite enjoyed writing it.  Yeah gross old Flich can you just see that Rotted cat LOL.Thank you for your kind review.

This was another good chapter.  You surprised me with who the minister is though.  It will be interesting to see how thing develope from here.  I am glad Hermione is able to work out her fears with Severus by her side.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Thank you, lol every one picked that up and its a minor story mention about Percy.  Politics doesn't feature into this story much.Thank you, I'm glad you see that Severus and Hermione are stronger together.  He will always be there for her.Thanks for the review.

It sounds a bit ominous that the Order is watching the MoM - Percy.  He always seemed a good follower, but not a great leader.Glad to see class went alright for Hermione and that Scorpious apologised despite his hatred.Looking forward to seeingw hat happens next!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

:)  When I wrote this chapter probably a year ago I mentioned him and may dissapoint people that he's not mentioned much after that.  First step For Scorpius even thought he didn't mean it he is an important part of this story.Hope to keep them coming.  I finsihed wwriting this story last night.  It has 56 chapters total Thank you for your review.

Percy Weasley as MoM? What were they thinking? Of course, he's up to something. That boy was nothing if not up to something. ^_^ Good chapter as per usual.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)

Well had to throw that in...I guess at one time I intended to persue that but never did.  Finished this story last night, 56 chapters.Thank I'm glad yoou liked it.

Response from MsTree (Reviewer)

56 chapters? Oh, boy. Can't wait. Hurry, please? *puppy dog eyes* ^_^
