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.

I loved this and definitely look forward to reading more in the future.  My favorite part is how Severus finally has hope for something good in his future!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you, out of any Character other than Harry I believe Severus deserves a Happy ending w/Hermione LOLHe's a man starved for Love you can see that in how he latched on to Lily the ony person ever to be kind to him.  He will have happiness if he has the courage to step out and take it.

"Oh, and Severus, I know you’re sleeping with Hermione, but be discreet for June’s sake.”Ha!  I love her parents. :)I am so glad they made the visit.  It was a very necessary thing to do, and now that things are smoothed out there, they should truly be able to stay in bed with no cares at all for the rest of their holiday.Yay for fluffy happiness!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you,  I'm glad you enjoyed that little comment.Yes, We could hope for them to have the freedome too spend some time shagging,,,,but it not always what we get....I agree fluffy happiness is fun....

Love the parents!Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you, I'm glad you like her parent's.  I picked Paxton because it's an English name, according to my sources.

Lovely scene with the parents. They're a lot more open and understanding now that they see the dynamic at work.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you.  I'm glad you enjoy the scenes.  I would hope that Hermiones parent's would have understood in Cannon as well once given the facts.

Oh, I was so excited to see this story. I love your fanfics so much! Alan is a schmuck; Hermione handled him fine. Sev was so sweet taking her to Disneyland... awwww. Update soon, please :-)

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you, I'm so glad you are enjoying this story.  I can never get enough of Severus and Hermione.  I hope to have a new chapter up soon.  I have two more written.I love Disneyland and have been there a lot of times.  I would love to see the inside of those rooms.  Occassinally they have a contest and someone gets to stay there.  It was Walt Disney Personal suite.Thank you so much for leaving a review.

Alan Copper is fortunate that he isn't permanantly maimed or dead.  I hope Severus and Hermione can find some way to be together... three years is too long.Beth

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Yes he is.  LOL  Well it really only one more year.  Since she can be his Apprentice at Hogwarts after two eyars of College.  She will be doing a hands on program and will be on her own Independant study program with Severus' overseeing her work.Thanks for you review Beth.  I think a yera is too long....who wants to leave Severus behind :)Well we have some more advanetures to go through.  I'm glad you like it.

Thank you for a Hermione that takes care of herself and who dishes out real consequences when people overstep her boundaries!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

:)  I'M so glad you enjoyed that.  I thought she should be the one to dish it out.  Thank you for your thoughts and review.

love love love this story! i read the first few chapters then looked to see who the author was because i was surprised by how much i liked it...but i wasn't so surprised anymore when i saw who's been writing the story! :) can't wait to read more.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

My goodness what a wonderful compliment.  I assume you've read someof my other stuff.  :)  I did some adding a bit to this story yesterday.  Things I brought up and forgot to follow through on.  Its a completed fic at 20 chapters.  I hope to have more from my beta to post soon.

Response from rons_love (Reviewer)

haha, yeah, I've read all of your other fics. I didn't even realize some of them were yours til I looked at the list of all of the ones you've written.

I love that they make each other so happy. I'm wondering how Hermione will feel about marriage.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you.  I'm enjoying the writing. :)I guess we will see as we get closer to that time.

Oh goodness, the Disneyland part had me squealing like a fangirl. I live in Anaheim, CA which is where Disneyland is. I go quite often and the thought of Snape and Hermione there was just too much for me to handle. Love it!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

I live a few hundred miles north from Disneland.  I love it and thought it might be a fun place for them to go.I'm glad you like it.  I saw some new more updated pic pf the Disney rooms and thought about doing the pictures again.  It a one bed room.  Probably better and the bathroom pic is kewl.  Not sure if this is another set of rooms or a redo.Thanks for the review.

Response from TheNerd (Reviewer)

It is a great place for them to go! Good luck deciding what to do about the rooms.

I can't imagine where Severus got all the money for this really expensive vacation? If it weren't for Hermione going to Cambidge they wouldn't have been forced to take these long lovely holidays together. What wonderful memories they have to share of France and Venice. Oh and don't forget Disney Land! How I would love to travel every summer but nothing could beat making love using legilimency! Severus deserves all of this for all of the other sacrifices he's made. 

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Well, maybe being a Prince he finally got an inheritance. Being a Teacher at Hogwarts he might well have saved nearly all of his wages over the years.  He lived on site all year and spent a bit of time at his Parent's house which obviousy he did not spend much money on.  Voldemort might have "paid" him well for services rendered.  Maybe Dumbledore left him some money after all he sacrificed a LOT to give the old man his wishes. He definately deserved some vacations and some love and devotion. Hugs, I'll try to check back in a few days.

I love, "I've been storing it up for more years than you've been alive". That definetly calls for room service. 

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

LOL yes it does.  Yoour making me want to go read t again myself.

SPOILER ALERT******************************************************************************Maybe laying there all night frozen and thinking about it just stoked anger rather than just taught him a lesson. I wonder if Hermione every reqrets being so forceful and angry with this guy. I wonder if she had let him down just a bit easier or at least in a way that didn't insult his masculinity or use violence if he would have been really sad but not become psychotic.

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

I'm sure it was not good for him.  That was a bit over the top, but she was so afraid to lose Severus and she wasn't sure what he might do to Alan himself.  I think after surviving the war too, she would be a pretty stright forward forceful act of nature to deal with.

10/10

I'm so glad they got to see each other.  Maybe Minerva will give him at least 1 weekend a month with Hermione. I understand why Hermione isn't ready to get married, but it would have saved her a lot of trouble if she'd just marry him now.  SPOILER ALERT*****************************************************I don't remember for sure, but I think she ends up with a baby, among other things before she's ready and it wouldn't have happened if she would have just married Severus now.  Having kids too soon takes a lot of fun out of the relationship and is a much bigger life changer than getting married sooner than you had planed. I wonder if she could do it over would she have married him sooner, after everything that happens to her?

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

I think she just wanted to be free of all her obligations to her Education and it was just so important to her. Maybe she would have made a different choice, but we know Education is huge on her list. Don't think this story has a baby in it LOL

How can he say he's not romantic as he brushes her hair for her. Silly man. I think that's extremely romantic! I asked my man to try to be romantic and he just said he didn't know how and that was that. He's never even tried. Or if he has, it's been such a dismal failure I didn't recognize it. But, I know he loves me. Stupid men. 

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Well you at east got one... I've never been married and as I get older I figure why bother now.  I like doing my own thing.  No one to answer too really. I think my romantic writing take that place in my life for I have the most boring dreams.  Very seldom does one turn romantic.  I did have a rare meeting with Alan Rickman in one recently.  Maybe only the third time I've dreamed of him.  I have met him twice now in person. A few months ago in Los Angeles when he came to show A Little Chaos.

10/10

I love seeing these two so much in love. Hermione won't like being forced to marry even if she wants to marry the love of her life.  I'm sure they'll work something out. I don't know whether to laugh for being such a dork or cry because I'm so stupid. I only read this a few weeks ago and I don't remember what they work out. I've had a migraine for 3 days this week and it really kills my short term memory. It makes it fun to read the story again, but it isn't so cool at work when you don't remember what you did a day ago. 

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

I guess it would make it fun, I do hope yoour seeing a Doctor for yoou headaches and memory problems.  I enjoy this ones too and sometimes I wonder how I can up with that idea or I think did I really write that... lol maybe we have the same problem.  I write stories I like to read again and again myself so I understand where you are coming from.

Aw, I'm glad Minerva took the time to listen to Severus, and is on their side.  I wonder if / when she'll start to push him for when their wedding date is going to be?  Lovely story!

Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Time for Goodbyes)

Thank you, I thought they needed someone to know their secret and they needed to have support especially from Minerva.She may do just that once they start to visit Hogwarts :)I'm plased to have you as a reader
