Forty-something, married, Professional Colorist seeks intelligent, scrawny man with misunderstood past. Tattoos a plus, snarkiness a must.
My interests include: Eating, breathing, napping, swearing and chocolate; as well as long, romantic walks from the refrigerator to my computer.
Needed skills must include: Foot massage, adoration, feeding my kids for me and ironing my husband's work clothes, along with sneering, looming, staring at me with desire, and reading whatever I hand you into my ear in a sultry tone.
Reviews for Of Muggles and Magic
That's Snape--knows just how to spring the news tactfully! (NOT).
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
Oh, yeah. The perfect choice for the job. (NOT!)
If only Severus could see into the future he would know this is only a taste of what it will be like with Miss Granger around. This second time reading through makes me love the story all the more.
Well of course it would be a shock to a lady of her standing that there wont be a charms or deportment class! Prof Snape you do skim over a ladies sensabilities.
Ahhhh my birthday fic! I am over here reading so that I may review again. This story is wonderful and deserves another set of reviews.
Let me just say that thought of going to an 1812 dentist gives me the willies. Too bad Dr Granger didnt use lauduemn.
I love the way you're handling both Hermione and Severus' personalities. If you ever have free time, please consider finishing this fic. It's really a stand-alone piece of literature in its own right.
If you ever make an original work out of this, please message me. I'd love to read it and give whatever small feedback I can.
I just found the rest on FF. Why didn't you continue this one here? I really enjoyed it.
I liked the scene where Hermione turned and bumped into Snape who pretended to shove her out of his way behind him as if harshly to onlookers but with a gentle hand.
I do hope you are writing more of this story. It is lovely and I find it most enjoyable indeed.
Thank you for a most delightful read and now I can sleep as I have finished your story so far that has been posted.
I am so happy HG had a lovely summer holiday spent with her Aunt. Least they can share their secrets.
Typical Malfoy to ruin a good lunch with nasty comments and mind you Snape wasn't too far behind .
Thanks for writing and sharing this lovely story.
Forgot to mention in previous chapters that I liked how you had reversed the roles of HG and NL.
Oh no wonder Hermione screamed at the loss of her teeth.
And so it begins with the rise of the dark lord.
Poor Severus having to cow tow to Dumbledore and his ideas like this and to forgo any favours for Muggle students.
At least Severus helped HG re her teeth problem.
What a superb idea for Snape to use a box to try to get HG to understand where she was going so wrong regarding her parchments writings. she hopefully will be using her own head and not just books informaiton in future.
Awe so kind of severus to give her a book for keeps.
Loving this story so much.
Trust HG to bemoan Snapes marking of her letter. Can't help but wonder how he is going to reply to her remarks.
Ah glad to see Severus not pining away and at least getting a little pleasure that is offered - well he does pay for it like the others lol.
Another good chapter thanks.
The troll attacking Hermione while she was in the water closet was superb I laughed at her cheek to lie to Snape and the other Teachers. Snape at least managed to see her deception and I think he was rather kind to her in the end. I thought she would have a huge point deduction too.
So the four are friends. Snape providing food to all the common rooms that was a lovely little touch.
Malfoy Senior is as hoity toity as usual and liked how he stole the cauldren from Snape so he had to find another.
The carriage journey of eight hours on single carriages with no place to get up and walk - ouch. Their bums will be numb. I know this as I took part in a real wagon train in the USA for 3 weeks and boy even with springs the seats still are very firm under your bum. lol.
Another fine chapter and looks like Hermione has a liking for Snape no mater his house. She put her foot or should say both feet in her mouth with that one lol.
So Snape gets in a snit regarding her language lol. Glad to see she likes magic and is as irritating to Snape in this time frame.
Hermione's delight at discovering magic being used had me laughing and then reading avidly and taking notes while all Snape wanted to do was rest his weary head on a soft pillow.
Shall look forward to reading much more in this delightful story.
Thanks for writing and sharing it with us.
Another fine chapter. Severus Snapes whole characteristics fit this time period so well and I am enjoying reading every word.
I have never come across a HP story set in this time frame before. Very interesting and love the way you are writing it as it fits so well with the language and customs of that time.
Poor Hermione she is still a little lost child in this one too.
Severus lol still being manipulated by Dumbledore too
Off to read more as it is looking so good.
I honestly never thought I could love our Potions Master more,but in this chapter you have made me love more!!! The detention scene was incredible!!! I love your mind!!!!!!!

Yays!
O.K., i have shied away from these regency stories(why I don't know) but OMG Snape really does fit this time period...being a trash romance reader I should have connected the dots long ago!!!!! Of course I will read anything your wonderful mind offers!!! Well done!! I really feel like I am reading a regency with characters I love!! Who are still themselves!!! Wonderful flow,realistic setting of the times your use of the period fodder is fantastic!!!
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
I'm so glad you enjoy it! Thank you!
I'm impressed with Sev here, he's a good man.
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
Thank you! But we knew that, didn't we?
Hee hee, good for Severus to get Hermione clued in so much sooner. I'm sure it will stand her in good stead.
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
One would think, but she can be rather singularly focused...
"But even setting her petty resentment aside, it would still seem that dangling one-handed from the broom was a bit vulgar. " I love all Hermione's observations about the wizarding world. Elspeth, ah, she sees what we do. I expect I'm going to wind up sad for her.
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
Alas, she's beamed down to the planet in a red shirt...
I smit this story haha. (Not even sure I used that right, but I love that word now..!)
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
Since I made it up, correct usage is still to be determined... I say you used it perfectly!
I love this story. I thought the box part was very good. I did wonder on the word 'gobshite' in a regency tale haha - it did, however, make me laugh out loud.
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
Believe it or not, I did look it up! It became popular in the late 1700's and was only concidered seriously uncouth until the early 1900's when it started to be considered extremely vulgar. Weird but true.
If Professor Snape only knew all of the things that went on in Hermione's head over him, he'd have a fit. And maybe be a little proud of her intelligence, and find it a little heartwarming that she cares so much. But probably mostly have a fit. :)Oh, or Harry. Yes, mustn't forget him either.Ha! This was too funny.Great chapter once again.As for smit ... they might not have been saying it 200 years ago, but 200 years from now it will still be rolling off everyone's tongues, thanks to you. Mark my words. ;)

And wouldn't Websters have fun tracking down the first known usage! "Fanfiction, ca. early 21st century. Potter era."
I love that they protect each other already. They'll be so very happy one day.
Response from Aurette (Author of Of Muggles and Magic)
One day, yes. But according to Austen, they have to have a big misunderstanding, according to Dickens and Bronte, they have to go through hardship, and according to Thackery and Gaskell, they have to slog through issues of class status, first. Oh, and she has to grow up...*giggle*
