Albus Severus Potter Ginevra Weasley Harry Potter Hermione Granger James Potter James Potter (son of Harry) Lily Potter (daughter of Harry) Ronald Weasley Severus Snape

Life does not always turn out the way we want it to. Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Severus Snape, thought by everyone to be dead, is living out his days in solitude on the edge of the wizarding world. Ginny Potter, meanwhile, is juggling a high-profile career, three small children, a Kneazle and a workaholic husband. A family crisis within the Potter household unwittingly brings Snape out of hiding and his and Ginny's lives are changed forever, with both of them ultimately offered a second chance for happiness. This story is mostly canon compliant but discounts the epilogue in Deathly Hallows.

Poor clueless Harry. He probably never realized that he not only missed a father as a role model for being one himself but also as a role model for being a partner, since your relationship definitely changes when having children.Now we have seen in canon that the wizarding world has its fair share of (wizarding) self help books, so this might be the perfect occasion for him to read one. I think this would work better than asking Ron for help. I really hope our couple will be able to work things out.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Ginny and Harry are both at fault here. Ginny should have said something sooner, and so should Harry. But you're right; Harry had little in the way of exprience to draw on in such matters and so it's doubly hard for him. Thanks for reading.

very tense sad chapter excellent job.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you, it wasn't very easy to write, I have to admit. Thanks for your support!

oh wow Ginny really let him have it with both barrells. I have a feeling things are not going to get any better for those two.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Ginny has been repressing her fiesty nature, so it was only a matter of time before she exploded. It's an awful time for them both. Thank you for the shinies! :)

Whoo!  My husband has been on the wrong end of one of my tirades before.  But we managed to work it out.  I think Harry may have gone too far, though.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

It's definitely a crisis point, and only time will tell if they can get over this. Thank you for the review and the shinies!

Oh I so hope he'll be allright.. poor child. I remember some chapters ago you wrote Snape's peaceful existence soon would end because of an article in the daily prophet. At this moment I really fear this will be an article about Al being the first child having this dangerous and even lethal flu. Snape cannot just let this happen without doing something, can he?I always imagine the prophet not only having moving pictures but also animated short interviews, like our youtube movies embedded in blogs or online newspapers. Seeing a distressed Ginevra talking about her son in the newspaper must speed him into some action I suppose.Hope you'll update soon..

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

I know I'm not being too nice to the little one at the moment, or to his parents. It's not easy to write at the moment, I have to admit. Your comments about the Prophet including interviews is a wonderful idea! The next chapter is in the queue so hopefully will be validated soon. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing - I really appreciate it.

It was probably a bad day for me to read this.  I'm not happy with my husband.  But the emotion was spot on.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Sorry to hear you're not happy with hubby. I hope you can work it out. Thanks for your support in reading, it means a lot.

Poor Ginny and Harry...if things weren't already so strained between them, Ginny wouldn't even be thinking that Harry was to blame.  After all, she'd seen Hermione too and her father also has his own Ministry connections.  Albus could have picked up germs from several people.  But Gin already has that festering resentment, and it looks like this is going to be the match that finally sets it off.Can't wait for the next chapter!

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

We shall be definitely be seeing the fiesty Ginny very, very soon! Thank you for your support :)

I don't know if she could blame Harry entirely I mean he didn't realize he carried that germ home. I've been enjoying reading this story and look forward to reading more.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thanks for reading Marty! Ginny isn't exactly thinking rationally at the moment, and her resentment has been building for a long time.

Oh, no!  I thought it would be Harry, not one of the kids.  Although this will explain how Severus gets into the story.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

I know I am being mean to poor little Al. And things are only going to get worse before they get better. Thanks for reading and for the shinies :)

The plot thickens to flush Severus out of hiding :)looking forward to more.

Thanks again for sticking with it. I'm hoping to upload chapter 6 very soon :)

That was an awesome idea in getting severus help.  One I never thought of.  Very good Chapter I'm looking forward to the next few chapters.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review. I hope you'll continue to enjoy my story :)

Oh dear...well, I think I see how Severus is going find himself dragged back into the affairs of Wizarding England!  And why am I suddenly seeing a bulls-eye on Harry's forehead?  Must be a trick of the light...  Look forward to seeing who gets hit by the epidemic, and how those around the afflicted cope.  At least Ginny had a day of peace and quiet before things start to really hit the fan!

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Ah, well of course I cannot comment on the bulls eye, but yes the epidemic is going to cause some damage and things are only going to get worse for Ginny from here in. Thanks for your support!

I'm getting a bad feeling about this.  Oh, well. 

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Your inner eye is spot on there. Thanks for the review and the shinies :)

This is different and intriguing - I am looking forward to more.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you for taking the time to read and review. I'm thrilled you like it! Next chapter will be up shortly pending corrections :)

Oh, how cruel!  Ginny really needs to dust off her old Bat-Bogey hex and teach Harry not to start something he doesn't intend to finish!    Either that, or just leap on him and have her way with him...  I look forward to the next chapter of this!

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

It seems I have you hooked, at least I really hope so! Thank you for your support, it means a great deal :)

Severus' cottage sounds wonderful...I wouldn't mind a retreat like that myself.  Is there a connection between the "bad wizard" that Harry's been after for years and the dark artefacts that are turning up around Albania?  Hmm...hopefully the next chapter will tell me more.  I must go see!

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

More shinies, you are very kind! Thank you for reading and reviewing :)

I really hate when my husband does that.  I know how Ginny feels.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

I am sure your husband, just like Harry, has no idea how hurtful that can feel. Thank you for reading and reviewing, I hope you'll stick with this.

indigo_rose

I like how this is starting out, with Minerva being the one to save Severus and also the mystery of his whereabouts.  And poor Winky just gets more and more confused!  I'm off to the next chapter to see how things develop...

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you for the shinies and the review! Here's hoping you'll enjoy where this story goes.

indigo_rose

It's tough when you feel as though the merry-go-round is just spinning faster and faster and you can't find a way to get off.  Ironically, I suspect that everything else Ginny is going through right now would not be a problem for her at all if she just felt that Harry was really there for her and was still her lover as well as her friend.Gotta run to the next chapter to see what happens next!

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

This is very true, and they are both still so young to have three children and such responsibilities. The pressure is building, that's for sure.

I just came across this lovely story and my interests were peaked.  :)  Look forward to reading more.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review! I'm hoping I'll be able to update soon. I hope you'll continue to enjoy it :)

Hi, Even though I am an avid SS/HG shipper I really enjoyed your story. However the one thing that is bothering me is that why would Ginny's quick-quotes quill pick up it is Severus and not any of the recording devices at the Wizengamot?

YIkers! Well I am glad Harry knows. He got his petty revenge in outing Snape. I wonder does he think that is going to make any difference in the end? Gin was still unfaithful. Their marriage is still in the can. OUuuuuuu the next chapter is going to be a good one. I sincerely hope Severus doesnt bother trying to lie to Gin. Best be honest Snape. Hey hey welcome back!!! How did everything go?

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thanks for sticking by this story! The move was tough but well worth it! I'm hoping to have the headspace now to finish this story off sooner rather than later :)

Response from MollysSister (Reviewer)

Well please let me know if you need any bribes to keep focused on writing

Good Chapter, Really surprising that Harry doesn't blame Snape.  Of all the things to happen in their long history and he doesn't hold him responsible. LOLLooking forward to more.

Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)

Thank you! I'm tapping away as I speak :)
