A Second Chance For Happiness

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.

Reviews for A Second Chance For Happiness
Thank you for this ending-- it gave me a warm feeling of contentment and peace: Harry and Cho soooo belong together, and their little baby girl made me all gushy--see what you've done to my thick snakeskin facade - lol! And, of course,, I love Ginny and Severus-- all is well indeed! And thank you for adding on and contributing to this pairing with such intriguing skill, craft and love! xxx

Very nice ending indeed. You've really written this whole story with malice towards none and with charity for all. Every one of your characters is believable and intrinsically good, trying to find his or her own way to the right and the true. While this cuts down on the drama a bit, and the universal lack of stubborn prejudice and unrepentant selfishness may strike some as unlikely, it makes for an excellent model of the value of being reasonable and open, and abandoning vengeful anger. Congratulations on its completion.

I enjoyed this story very much. I was suprised it ended w Harry having a revelation about his happiness since the story was about Ginny and Severus. That said it was very well exicuted.J

Well written. I have never read a story focused on Severus and Ginny. I thought your story was very well plotted and well written. I'm not really sure I truly see this couple as a likely pairing, But I appreciate you writing a story focused on them. Thank you for sharing
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Thanks for reading until the end, even if the pairing wasn't to your taste. To be honest I only wrote it as a chance to do something different as Hermione is usually the object of the dark professor's affections in fanfic so i wanted to see if could do something semi-plausible with Ginny. But I appreciate you taking the time to read and review :)
I love this look at Ginny's day-to-day life. Balancing work and family is always extremely difficult, but I feel especially sympathetic given her situation.
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
I think it's tough juggling a young family, especially as the Potters were very young when they started a family. Thanks for taking the time to read and review, I hope you'll enjoy it.
Great start, having this talk from Minerva's perspective is fascinating.
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Thank you, I hope you'll continue to read and enjoy :)
oh dear. Poor Ginny.
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Thanks for taking the time to read and review (and for the shinies!) This story is going to be unlike anything I've tried before, so I hope you'll stay with it.
I love vulnerable Ginny and gentle Severus. It is going to be a bumpy road, but if this is important to them, they'll find a way. Her family could react in so many different ways, it is hard to say. The children ... if they are perceptive, they probably already know something is up with mom and dad, so maybe they will be better prepared for the news than Ginny thinks. Time will tell, but at least she and Severus have each other.

An interesting start. I presume he´s going to respond this year but we´ll be wanting to know why!
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Thanks very much for leaving a note! This is going to be unlike any other fic I've attempted before. I hope you'll stay with it :)
I feel like Severus and Ginny had a real break through tonight. It wasnt quite a declaration of love but it was pretty close. Could Ginny lose all custody of her kids with this divorce?
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Potentially, yes she could. The stakes are high.
Yikes both of the adulters hauled into court now that is harsh. Those crazy magical folk. I am glad Harry is not so angry that he will blow Snape's cover. That would be very bad.
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Crazy magical folk indeed :)
Loyalty is not an established Gryffindor trait. It is an established Hufflepuff trait. One no more speaks of Gryffindor Loyalty than of Hufflepuff Courage, although there are without question loyal Gryffindors and courageous Hufflepuffs. But loyalty is not the DEFINING trait of Gryffindor House. Courage is. Not virtue, not altruism, not loyalty, not nobility, not saving the world. Courage, period. Everything else is extra.

Not so much the Sorting Hat, as an asshat.
At least he heard her out, which was to his advantage. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Thanks for reading and reviewing so far. I hope you'll enjoy the rest if you choose to read that far!
Another great chapter. I really enjoy this story. I look forward to the new chapters. I enjoyed that Snape finally connected with Ginny again.
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Your support is really appreciated, thank you for taking the time to let me know.
OK that's a compromise. ;)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
indeed!
All valid points, Ginny! :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
quite!
Well, poo! Hope she reconsiders. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Keep reading :)
Harry took a little too much enjoyment in that. Can understand his point of view though. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Yes, poor guy.
I thought it was an anagram, but couldn't think what of! :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Glad it got you thinking.
It's going to hit the fan soon, isn't it? :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
ohhh yessss
Harry is using his brain this time. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Finally ;)
Hmm, lots of questions as yet unanswered, you minx. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Moi? *looks innocent*
They had an itch and boy did it get scratched! Now I wonder when the big reveal will happen, and just what Ginny will do. :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Keep reading :)
Someone should spell that quill not to tattle! :)
Response from star_girl (Author of A Second Chance For Happiness)
Never trust a quill!
