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.

What a nice surprise that the ceremony got moved to Poppy's place--although I feel bad for Molly and her "garden gnome infestation from hell"!    If only you could get them to act as ring bearers and flower gnomes...  The venue certainly suits Severus and Hermione's shared past and relationship, though, and give Molly a nice change of scenery for herself as well.  Perhaps she and Arthur can take a seaside vacation together after being inspired by the bonding.Seeing Lucius and Severus share such a moment of trust with the wedding preparations was wonderful to read.  One always reads about bridal preparations, but very rarely are similar rituals for the groom covered as well so it was a nice touch.  Can't wait to read about the actual ceremony--it sounds as though both bride and groom will be surprised by what the other is wearing!

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

I'm glad you like it.  It seemed to be time to let Severus have a special Bonding place.  Somthing dear to his heart.Thats would have been a fine idea for Molly and Arthur is only I had thought about it.  :)I'm glad you enjoyed seeing severus prepare for the wedding.  I really have enjoyed Lucius.  He has kind of grabbed at my heart this time around.  We will follow him home in the next chapter.They might I can't remember, I hope people will enjoy the manip I made.  Its taken from many pics each picture is the character or at least the actress for the character.

oh drat. the chapter is over already... hahaha. seems like i always wish they were longer. :) can't wait for the next one.

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

Oh my it must have been short.  So sorry, I hope to get the new chapter soon.  Thank you for your comments.

Oh, this is a great chapter. B-but, where's the rest of it? I'm playing hooky right now to read it. I still have 25,000 words to write about Hermione's love triangle with Severus and Athair, so come on already. ^_^

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

I'm sorry, LOL It's coming as soon as the Beta gets it to me.  A love triangle oh my.  I hope to have it in the Queue in a few days. Good luck on your writing.

Response from MsTree (Reviewer)

Unfortunately, it's a chaptered story (the sequel to "Damsels & Dragons), so I won't start posting until it's completed. Hopefully after the first of the year. ^_^

Oh, only a glimpse at the bonding so far.Looking forward to seeing how he reacts to seeing her in her dress!

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

Yes, the Bonding is finally next.  I actually put together a manip for this next chapter.  I hope you enjoy it thanks for the review.

Glad to see things are continue to progress nicely.  Off to read the bonding (hopefully)...

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

Thank you, yes we are getting to the fun quite soon with a small side track to the Malfoy Manor, after the Bonding.

I love the idea of the Grecian robes.  And it was a good surprise.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed that :)

This chapter is so sweet, having the bonding take place at the beach I thought was absolutely perfect for Severus as it held special meaning to him.  I had to laugh at Severus's reaction to Lucius being there in front of him.  Though the trust he put in him to shave him with a straight razor is not something I would have ever thought of. It was  heartwarming to know that Albus had left so much for him and that if Harry did not stand up and acknowledge what had truly transpired there was a back up plan.  I wish there was an actual picture, I would love to see Severus and Hermione in their wedding clothes, especially Severus. hee hee.  Thanks again for sharing, looking forward to the actual bonding ceremony and the Lemon's that follow.  :-)

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

I'm glad you liked it.  I quite enjoyed the writing with Severus and Lucius.  There is so much past between them and a little more to tell :)  Coming soon and whole Malfoy chapter after the Bonding.You'll maybe be pleased to know there is a picture taken at their wedding.  I worked hard on it and I hope it doesn't look too corny.  I peiced it together from many pictures.I think you will enjoy the Honeymoon.TY for your review

Response from cottontail (Reviewer)

OMG, are you kidding?  That is so awesome, I can't wait to see what you have drawn.  Don't worry about it being too corny don't forget this is FF and well really the whole idea of it is to be a bit corny don't ya think.  Thanks so much for your story.

i just stumbled upon this story and had to leave a review. the characters are spot on and i'm enjoying seeing how things are progressing for our couple. i especially liked the subplot with scorpious and albus and i normally don't go for the next generation. you've really brought them to life and should possibly consider a fic with the little ones! can't wait for the next chapter.

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

Thank you, so much. I'm so glad you think I have done well withe the characters. As for Albus and Scorpious they kind of took a life of their own. I never intended to make them such a part of this story. I never have read much next gen stuff either. Hmmm will think on it. Thank you for your comments

Once again, you have done wonders! Still reading Raven and A Time For Goodbyes (Unfortunately I have been really busy and without time for reading) Can't wait to read about the bonding, AND the honeymoon night. Great job!

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

Thank you so much, I'm glad you are enjoying the stories.  I can say we see the whole honeymoon, not just the first night :)  Thank you for the review and I hope you will let me know what you think of Raven as well.  It's my special baby.

Response from TheNerd (Reviewer)

Oooh, I can't wait! Hopefully this weekend I will have some time to read! If so, I will be reading Raven non-stop!

I wonder just how big this bonding is going to be.  I like your giddy Severus.

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

Thank you, I hope you fnd the Bonding interesting.  It's modest.  I like severus that way too though in reality he would have to be soused to get there LOL.

Another beautiful chapter. I love the way you weave in the OOC Severus and make him lovable.  Somehow, I get the feeling those portkeys aren't going to the Weasley garden. Looking forward to more. Thanks again!

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

Thank you, I've always had a theory that if Severus felt loved he would be able to relax and be a regular man.  His pain and hurts over the eyars made him pull himslef behind walls and walls of protection making his that bitter hard man.  But we know he loved deeply with all his heart and soul. Hermione brings ut the best in him :)  Thank you again :)

MsTree

So, he's back to teasing Minerva, is he? Good! I like the fact that he can be so free and easy in his dealings with Minerva and Poppy as well as Hermione. By the way, what exactly did he do to the Head Girl and Sarah's Head of House? ^_^

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

I'm afraid thats kind of up to the reader.  The next chapter run headlong into the Bonding and a little beyond.  I am not sure I will write that now??? I'll think on it.

Jinxie

Poor Severus, getting put on the spot like that.  He dealth with it rather well, all things considered.Looking forward to seeing their bonding!

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

LOL well it was amusing. He did handel it pretty well. LOLHe did heal with it pretty well.  The bonding will be in Ch 52. Thank you for your comments.

Glad to see the potion worked and look forward to Severus finding out what Hermione has done for him.

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

Filius is not that comfortable in a Potion’s classroom. It’s impossible for him to see into the cauldrons.Ha!  Poor guy.Speaking of poor guys ... Severus giving the girl talk.  I think he handled it as well as possible.  And won points with Hermione.  Of course his reputation as meany is forever ruined :)

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

LOL, well it's true. :)  Yes, poor Severus, but I've gotten more reviews this time.  Yes, I expect his reputation is ruined if she talkes.  We don't know that she did.  She'd have to talk about why she was there and I really am not sure she would.Thank you for your review.

Lovely chapter!  I had thought Severus would break out of the wall at the wedding, but it is wonderful to have him back sooner.  The episode with the 1st year in the infirmary was a hoot.  I must admit I have been enjoying the recent chapters but failing to review. I shouldn't take you for granted.  Thanks for writing. Your fictions are always enjoyable and unique.

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

Thank you, I'm so glad you liked it.  I wanted the wall to just kind of melt away.  I thought once the potion was injested and he was healed, he would relax, and the wall would fail.  I'm glad you enjoyed his day in the infirmery. Thank you for leaving a review this time.  It is very much appreciated.I try to find unique situations to place them in.  Maybe one day another idea will occure to me.

Severus? Hopped? Are you serious? *grin* I wonder what the Ministry is making of Hermione's request about Lucius. Good chapter. ^_^

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

Did he hop off the bed.  LOL  oh well guess he was happy.  Thank you.  TY for leaving a comment.

Love Love Love this story, I have missed reading it from you...I did a bit of catch up and all.. Tee Hee!!!Can't wait to read the next chapter!!What is Hermione Planning? Hmmmm I wonder!!!!!

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

Thanks

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

, I'm glad you are enjoying re-reading the chapters.  There are about 11 chapters to this story left to post.  Hermione's idea will put her in a situation that will be uncomfortable and maybe a bit scary but she loves Severus and would do anything for him.

Response from Becky (Reviewer)

Remember while I was reading this story my computer crashed and I LOST every chapter you'd sent me, so I didn't get to read anything else...Im planning to re-read it from the beginning after its all posted, I will even save it to a disk....

MsTree

Oh, boy! I'm a little disappointed that the boys did not win first place, but I'm glad Severus' walls are breaking down. Good job. Can't wait for the next chapter. ^_^

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

Thank you, I debated back and forth and decided to go with the unexpected.  Parkinson's is close to my heart.I hope I will get the next chapter corrections ins a day or two.  It #2 in the Queue and the next ones also there.
