I love Severus and Harrys talk, and now Arthur and Molly are cursed, and no one noticed. Oh well " the course of true love never did run smooth"

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

I wanted Harry to be mature in this and to appreciate Severus for what he did for him.  I hate the whinny or hateful Harrys some people write.  We all know he grew up when he named his child after Severus. Another part of the story I'm not crazy about.  My stories are seldom planned I just start with an idea and the words roll out in my head sometimes faster than I can type.  Wish I could do that with an original idea.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

I don't think Harry would be hatefull ether, fi yuo go to Yuo Tube ther is a clip called "Sorry"With Harry morning for the loss of Severus It's very moving.

Loved the weekend away, Poppy is a good mum. Albus and Scorpius have a job ahead of them, but I think thay can do it {with a little help from Severus and Hermione}

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

I'm glad you are enjoying their little interludes.  Poppy is a good mum and it was fun to flesh her out.  I think the boys will do well and really hermione and Severus arn't allowed to help much LOL

I hope the contest goes well, a weekend away sounds good to.

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

The contest was hard for me to write.  I'm not really sure I like the way it came out myself.

A terrible ordeal to have to relive, I'm glad Scorpius has seen the light ,at last.

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

Yes, Severus had to share some hard stuff, stuff he never wanted to relive. But he believes the child is worth it. I' glad he did as well.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

Poor Draco, he wasn't that much older than Scorpius when that happned. { I have a soft spot for Draco,maybe because we have the same birth date, a few years, OK, decades apart}

How will thay ever look Irma in the face again?  The contest is a wonderful idea,Scorpius needs to get to know how to interact, with kids his own age. He was alone with a bitter old man for far to long.  

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

LOL... don't think they were thinking about her much there.  LOL.  Yes, Scorpius has a lot of changing.  Lucius did a number on the poor kid.

I like the realistic touches to your story.  They're there subtly in actions and gestures.  Like Hermione's reactions to Lucius, but persevering because he means so much to Severus.Looking forward to seeing the bonding and Severus's reaction to Lucius being present!

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

Thank you.  I'm trying not to rush it.  It all needs time to works its way out.  A ot has happened to them sicne the Bubble.I know Lucius in the Movies didn't have much of a redeeming character but in the end he was broken and maybe he changed.  I'm all for giving people a second chance.  Thats what forgiveness does.

9/10

Jinxie

Nice chapter for progression and understanding.  I like how Severus is being more proactive in trying to change himself and that it's not just happening overnight.  Also, that Hermione has her emotional time makes this very realistic and natural.  Who wouldn't buckle under a strain like this?  Yet, they're determined to persevere and carry on.Off to read the next chapter.  Well done!

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

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.  Yes, I think the walls breaking down and Severus really doesn't realise it, but then again Severus was always capable off giving love he just didnt know it.They are going forward with their lives.  Things are about to happen.

10/10

HBAR

I do hope that this huge thing Hermione is doing for Severus is successful in bringing down the walls that remain. I also hope that he is happy about the choice she made.  She is a brave little thing, going to ask Lucius to attend the bonding.  I hope it all goes well.  They need a bit of happiness at the moment.

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

I think we will have a lot of answeres int he enxt chapter if I rememeber correctly.  Things are beginning to happen for them.  Happiness? Yes, its around the corner.Thank you for your review.

So glad that Severus is to be Headmaster; it's where he belongs. Scorpius has some hard thinking to do.

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

Glad you like that.  Severus was a goood Headmaster under the hardest of times.  He deserves to be there when he's free to show what a good man he is.  Yes, he does.

I hope that Scorpius is worth all this .

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

If he can be redeemed, yes,  he's worth it.

Can't wait to see how Scorpius reacts to the truth. Nice lemons.

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

I dont think you have a wait to long maybe a few chapters.  Thanks, that was a favorite lemon to write. :)

Scorpius is in for quite a shock,these are REAL memories, not just looking back through, rose coloured glasses.

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

Yes, they are real and it gets a bit gritty but to too graphic.  We don;t want to scar the child.  Deffinately not rose colord.

I'm glad to see,that Draco still has respect for Severus, and is willing to let him and Hermione try to help his son.

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

Yes, I'm glad he does too.  He seemed quite put out with him in HBP. Every ones taking a chnace but don't kids deserve a second chance and people to really care about them.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

I think is HBP, he was scared to death, after all he was only sixteen, and had been forced to take the dark mark, that in ti self must have been horrorific.

What a charming Wedding day. Scorpius seems to be starting to think, a good thing for all concerned.

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

Thank you, I wanted it to be real intimate and Muggle for now.  Yes, Scorpius is thinking and maybe he will be open to a different sort of life.

The way to Filch's heart, is through his cat.Things seem to be going better for Severus and Hermione, and MoM needs to be watched.

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

Yes, his cat was always his family.  MoM??? not sure what this means :)

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

Sorry, Ministry of Magic.

Ok Filch is security, good that one cleared up. Lovely that Severus and Hermione, are back together. Why is scorpius, even back at school?  the little toe-rag.

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

Well to progrees with my story he had to come back.  His family though a bit disgraced still has friends in high places.

All right, I'm breathing, for now.  I will move on to the next chapter now. Just one thing; when you say Filch, do you Argus Filch caretaker? or is your Filch the charms Master? I'm a little confused.

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

Filch has always been the care taker.  I think if I remember Severus does do some security type work with him for a time.  I wouldn't have made him clean the castle.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

I know, I think it was very late, or early, around three AM. and I was a bit confused. Sorry, you shouldn't write so well.

At last, now off to St Mungos for some healing, then back toHogwarts. { I hope when Minerva mentioned Filch, she wasn't thinking of Severus taking over caretaking dutys}

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

Poor Severus, he does go through it in these early chpaters.  I think Severus will be a help where ever he's needed.

Someone should have told Albus, that"The road to HELL, is paved with good INTENTIONS". The entire Malfoy family, needs to take responsibility for Scorpius, Luicus may have had a bad influence on the boy, but thay all allowed it.It isn't as if thay haven't seen the results, of his actions in the past.

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

Thats true.  I think Dracos pretty beat down.  He was weak, a boy with a big mouth but always afraid and crying when people weren't aroud,  He was a weak personallity.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

Yes, and by Albus, I did mean Dumdeldore. I don't want to say too much, and spoil this for those that have not finshed yet, I hate to be told the end.

First Draco, now Scorpius, when will Lucius learn ? I'm glad Severus still has his spying instincts, still working.

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

Yes, Severus does as he feels its only been days or weeks since he "died".  All of his senses are still honed.
