Just another SS/HG shipper wanting to make the world a Snapey place.
Reviews for Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages
Good story. I like it! And they sounded like very cute little children.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.I thought it would be fun portraying them as kids. It was certainly fun to write.
Oh, I just love it that you included Argus Filch in the end. I got a little hooked on him the last week when I wrote a story for the Filch's Firepower challenge. Torturing Filch is brilliantly good fun.
And I applaud you for a wonderfully fun story!! Thank you!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, he's just so fun to rankle isn't he? I couldn't pass up the chance. And I especially loved the idea of a small Lucius and Severus running around the castle causing mayhem!Thank you. I loved writing this, particularly the little Severus parts. I really do appreciate you taking the time to read it, especially since I know how busy you are.
Bravo! Wrapping up very nicely!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks!
Finally I get to the end of this story. My apologies. Apparently, I need to take a vacation to catch up on some reading.
I love the whole swirling vortex idea ... don't think I've ever seen that one before! Good job!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
No apologies needed! I know how busy you are and I have to thank you for taking the time to read it.The vortex idea I thought would be neat. I try to put things in my stories that I haven't read before, which isn't easy these days.
OMG...I love the ending...Snape and Malfoy six-year-olds! That's...that's just great! You are one heck of a writer.
wind to thy wings,

I couldn't resist all four of them causing mayhem for Filch.I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Thank you for taking the time to read it and review.
This is an absolutely adorable story!
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I have to say that this is one of the best Hermione/Snape stories I have ever read. I love it. I will probably read it frequantly. Good Job. I must say, though, that I pity Filch. Poor guying, thinking that he is seeing things. Anyway, excellent story, all the way to the end.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thank you. I appreciate you reviewing the entire story and I'm glad you didn't see it as a waste of time.
I understand the discomfort at writing smut. I read it better then I write it. It just doesn't seem right to me. Anyway, I am so glad that they are together. And that Lucius and Ginny are going to get married. I must say that you have me converted. I love Lucius and Ginny now. But only if it is this kind of Lucius. I can't say I would like a mean, cruel, rapist Lucius. Well done, once again.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Oh yes, I'm totally with you. I love reading a good story with some well written, but damn it all if I can write it well myself. It's not about being prude, because I'm not. LOL, I just feel so weird writing it. I always feel like its going to sound like some horrible romance novel and I'll say something like "He entered her love sleeve with his sword of man flesh."I only like to write this kind of Lucius. I get no pleasure in reading or writing cruel rapist Lucius or Severus.
Response from Mollie (Reviewer)
Yeah, I know what you mean. I got an offer to beta a PWP story, but I couldn't because I didn't feel comfortable with it. I am no prude, for sure, but I would much rather be out there doing it then writing about it, or fixing what someone else wrote about it, if you know what I mean. I just don't feel comfortable with it.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Well crap, I haven't been in a relationship for almost 5 years! LOL, a friend of mine told me maybe that was my problem, that if I were actually "doing it" on a regular basis, maybe I would feel more comfortable writing it.You never know, maybe she's right.
Oh my God, I was so scared for them. I knew that it would all be alright. And how poor Hermione and Ginny must have felt at the moment when they thought they lost everything. Another excellent chapter.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
At first I wasn't sure if I wanted them to escape in front of everyone, or to have them apparate out of there, but I thought it would make a more dramatic scene if everyone thought they'd died in there.
Wow, quite the scene. What a horrible way to loose your virginity, and for a second time to boot. What a bastard (Voldemort, not Lucius). Anyway, well written chapter anyway.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Yeah, losing it the first time is bad enough.
Oh my... the final battle. I know that the good side will win, but I sure hate having my nerves on end until it does happen. Good job, once agains.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Yep, can't have the nasties get the better of the good guys.Thanks, I'm very happy you are enjoying this.
Excellent chapter, once again, though I hate what is happening. I am left to wonder if Voldemort suspects Lucius, or if he was just torturing him as a warning. Either way it isn't good.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
No, the torturing was just a warning.
I hate cliffies... luckily I discovered this story after it had already been finished. Damn, I need to wash the dishes, but this is too good to pass up.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
That's the good thing about reading stories that are already finished. No nailbiting!
Excellent chapter! It is about time they get together. Hmm... I hope that Lucius and Ginny get together soon. Lucius needs it.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks. I felt the need to get them together soon after they finally became adults.
I am so glad that they are adults now. I can't wait to see what you have happen. This could be interesting. Hmm... well, I guess I will have to read on to find out, right. Way to go! Oh, and I hope that Lucius is okay!
I love it. I love the pranks that Severus pulled. And I have to admit, I love the Lucius Ginny combo. I hope that they return to normal soon. Good job!
Oh, I can't wait to see what Severus is going to do to Ron and Harry. I love this story. It is truely an enticing story and plot, and everything. Very well written.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Thanks, I'm really glad you are enjoying it.Ron and Harry won't come out of Grimmauld place unscathed, I'll tell you that much.
OMG! This is hilarious. They are detiorating quickly. This is too funny. I love it. I also love the Ginny Lucius bit that you have going on.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, they did have their moments didn't they? I'm glad you like this so far, and I'm pleased that you are enjoying the Lucius/Ginny aspect of this too.
Another exceptional chapter. I love the fact that they are finally adults. Hmm... I wonder how long the childish thoughts will continue. Anyway, excellent chapter.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, well there is always a residual effect you know.
I am so glad that Hermione is recovering. And this Lucius and Ginny (perhaps) love is going to be interesting. Another excellent chapter, if I do say so myself.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Yep, Lucius/Ginny is an interesting combination. I started writing them together because I wanted to do something a bit different and a pairing you don't see much of. I hope you like it.
Oh, that is so sad. It must have been so frightening to witness a raid from a six year olds size. I hope that the curse didn't have any lasting effects on her. Anyway, good chapter, once again.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
Yeah, they thought they would be able to help, but instead put themselves in danger.
This was a really good chapter. I love the hide and seek. I can't believe they are going to risk their lives by going to this raid. It just seems stupid to me, but whatever. I am sure that it is good for the plot.
Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
It's good for the plot. Besides, even though they are the size of kids, they are still adults, so they feel like they need to do something to help.
Another excellent chapter. I love how they are starting to act like six year olds. I hope that nothing horrible happens to Severus.~

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I figured they would retain their adult minds, but due to the potion, they would begin to have six year old thoughts and actions.This isn't an angsty story. So happy endings all around.
Response from Mollie (Reviewer)
Yeah! I love happy endings! Way to go!
That is so cute. I would die to see Severus little, but still with his adult mind. That would definately be a sight to behold. hehehe.~

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
I kept imagining this thin little boy with jet black hair and a wicked little personality.
Very good first chapter. I am enjoying this very much. STUPID WEASLEY! How typical of them.~

Response from ancientgirl (Author of Sometimes the Best Things Come in Small Packages)
LOL, I see the curiosity of Lucius and Ginny drew you in huh?
Response from Mollie (Reviewer)
Yeah, that and the fact that I saw yours at the top of the top ten list and remember that you're the one who reviewed so much for my story, so I decided to read it. I still have to finish, but it is well worth the time and read.
