Oh dear, silly little boy,Hermione will have him for breakfast, she was more than a match for his father, when she was 13, I'm sure she can handle him. Albus is a lovely child, glad to see Severus so kind.

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

Silly little booys can be quite dangerous.  I'm glad you like Albus.  I enjoyed writting both boys.

Charming, just CHARMING, a gamble HE was willing to take;  with someone else's life. What if Hermione, had meet & married someone else, in that fifteen years.? Tom Riddle  had quite the role model, for manipulateing others, didn't he! Sorry, calm now, lovely to see Severus and Hermione getting closer.

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

LOL  yeah those twinkling eyes with quite the master manipulator behind them.

Meeting with Minerva was just right. The spell to make him visable, is well thought out, Poppy gets to use it at last. What will the potion do to severus? On to chapter eight, I can't wait.

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

I'm so glad you liked it.  :)  I'm glad yoou are enjoying the story.  It's always such a long process to get the chapetrs posted.  The story becomes like a child youhave so many hopes and you love it as a part of you.

Wonderful to see the realationship between, Severus and Poppy; can't wait for Minerva's reaction.

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

I thought I'd have Poppy be very important in this story.  She  would have had to see Him hurt so much over the years even as a child.

I have high hopes that the fear Hermione was willing to face for Severus' happiness will put a gigantic crack in that wall of his, and the Bonding ceremony itself will finish it off!  If I were in Hermione's position, even if my head believed that Lucius was genuinely sorry and trying to reform, my instincts would still be to be afraid.  Actions speak louder than words to Severus right now, so I'm glad she's taking a risk for his sake.Can't wait until the Bonding chapter!

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

She did face that fear for Severus.  Yeah I think just being physically near him would bring ehr fears up even if she thought he was trying ot be a better person.  She loves and believes Severus accesment that he is better.The Bonding chapter is coming up soon :)

I hope all goes well with Scorpius' lessons.  It really could go either way. I think that when you write a teacher/student sex scene, you have to be very careful how you do it, because it can turn squicky and inappropriate really quickly.  That having been said, I think there is very little that is hotter than when these two are adults, and they act out the teacher/student fantasy.  You don't have to be careful and appropriate as anything goes with two consenting adults.  So, yay for a steamy detention!  Looking forward to more.

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

Thank you, not only are they consenting adults but they are married adults. :)  I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  i think its one of the best scenes I've ever written.Thank you so much for your review.

A very odd spell indeed, I hope Poppy can help.

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

This story took a lot of turns and yes Poppy helped a lot.

Is severus bond to hermione ,or his wand, or both? I hope he isn't going to lose his temper, Hremione need an ally. Poppy is the one that helped him through his ordeal, as a Death Eater, so he should trust her.

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

I think it was the wand wasn't it?  Severus lose his temper LOL, Severus is a lost temper, but he will find Hermione a big part of the new life he find himself in.  Poppy will try her hardest to help.

Response from mick42 (Reviewer)

I should have known better,and isn't that why we love him, the snarky, dark, brooding, soft heart underneath, Professor.

I hope Poppy can help, she always seems to have a soft spot, for Severus. The kiss was just lovely,very tender, and sweet.

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

Poppy's there for him, she's quite a part of this story.  Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

She is a brave girl, but I'm glad you still had her skittish around Lucius, which to me seems more real than if she was all friendly to hiim.

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

I think I would be skitish, but she knows Severus thinks he's sorry and that he's changed.  becasue of her love for severus she is willing to give him another chance.

Hermione has an exceedingly forgiving nature, but I think I would cringe as well if I were in the same room as a man who attacked me. ^_^

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

Yes, me too.  She was very brave to go there for Severus sake.

Excellent chapter. I love coming home from my travels and find two chapters waiting for me! ^_^

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

Thank you, I'm happy too that I've gotten 2 posted recently.  Hope you had a nice trip.

Response from MsTree (Reviewer)

Well, I survived Hurricane Irene and driving in New York City traffic, not to mention the rolling parking lot that is Kansas City at rush hour so, yes, I would say I had a nice trip. ^_~

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

LOL sounds like quite a trip.  You have some stories to tell now LOL

Cute. I loved the lemons, but I think Scorpius might be up to something. ^_^

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

I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter.  We will see more of how Severus will begin to work with Scorpous in the next chapter.  Than you for sending a review.

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

:)  I'm so glad you liked the detention scene.  There are a number of "Fantasy" style interludes spaced out in this story.  I hope I will be able to egt the new chapter in the Queue soon.  My Beta is working on it.  Thank you for the review.

I am glad that Minivera is going along with Severus' plan.  And loved the detention scene.  Can't wait for the next chapter.

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

Thank you.  I think Minerva has a heart for children and wants to help even if it seems impossible.  She will support Severus and Hermione.  I'm so glad you liked the detention scene.  I loved writing it.Thank you for leaving a review.

Ah!  I just love those juicy lemons!  On the other hand, I'm anxious to see what happens with Scorpius and if Hermione gets a chance to see the memories with or without Scorpius being present.

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

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed this rather erotic scene for me.  We will start seeing Severus working with Scorpious in the next chapter.Thank you for your review.

“It’s the women’s lavatory!” he protested. Poppy gave him a disgusted look, waved her wand at the door, and an “Out of Order” sign appeared on the door. “Now go,” she commanded.HaHa!  I love Poppy.  Not many could get away with the things she says and does to him.  It shows they have a strong relationship.I do hope the bonding goes well.  He made a good decision that will benefit them both.  It's funny but true how much of the alloted guest space the Weasley's take up.  I don't think Severus will be counting as long as she truly sticks to close friends and family.In the end ...  I hope Hermione knows what she is getting herself into.

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

LOL glad you liked the banter between Severus and Poppy.  I have enjoyed making her role bigger in this story.  She can tell him like it is and he mostly listens.I was reading through the Bonding today and I think my readers will enjoy those chapters.  11 more chapters to go.There are a few surprises in store for the Bonding.Thank you for the review,  I haven't been getting too many lately.

The walls are coming down faster and faster, it seems.  Severus  took a big step in this chapter being intimate with Hermione and I think it was really beneficial for both.I'm proud of the boys for their wonderful potion, and the fact that they were not troubled by not winning the competition.  They have really matured.  I hope more happiness is on the horizon.

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

Yes they are coming down.  I'm glad your okay with the boys not winning exactly.  They accomplished a lot and got a lot of notice for it.  More hapiness will come with time.  Maybe a chapter or two left of hard stuff to get through.  I'm working hard on a Bonding Manip, but it crazy trying to find pics I can use.  LOL.I love Happiness :)

Good chapter.  Too funny on the contract magically righting itself.  Glad to see that precaution was taken to counter Scorpius's unwillingness to listen to reason.Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

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

LOL thanks, the next chapter is sort of a fun interlude and then we get back to the story :)  Enjoy.warning it very adult :)Thank you for your review.

This was another good chapter.  I am glad that Scorpius is going to get the help he need from Severus.  I hope once he see's whats in the pensieve that he will realize all the mistakes and sacrifices that Severus went through to help the wizarding world.   Let the game begin. 

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

Yep, I like that: Let the Game Begin.....But Scorpius won't be playing the games in the next chapter.  snicker...Enjoy and thanks so much for the review.
