Is revenge ever justified? The violence warning is for implied (non-graphic) violence toward a child. Written in response to a prompt from TeaOli.

I'm a forty-something American woman who is addicted to the SSHG pairing, relatively new to this fandom. I'm also considering starting some original fiction soon...
Check out the story I co-wrote with Remarkable -- it's called "Hidden Attractions" and (as soon as it's through the queue) it's archived under the penname remarkable_linlawless.
For those who are interested, I've got two WIPs at my website (which I will eventually post here, but not until I have a complete draft). It's easy and free to join the website, so I hope you'll visit!
I am honored that my story, Witchy Woman, has been selected as a featured story for September 2010. Better yet, this honor came with the very awesome banner at the top of this post!
Here's a couple of banners my friend Atuliel made for the two WIPs at my website:
Reviews for No Vengeance for the Strong
That was chilling, but ultimately very satisfying. Hermione would never be able to live with herself if she continued, while Severus... I think he'll manage.

Yes, that was my take on it, too; this highlights one of the major differences between them, I think. Thanks for the review! :)

I can fully understand where Hermione is coming from and kudos to Severus for protecting her from herself.

Thank you! Glad you could relate. :)

Whether the ending was right or wrong of Severus, he certainly did the right thing by stopping Hermione from doing something he knows she would regret. I found this quite realistic.

Thanks! Glad it worked for you. And I appreciate the review! :)

Hahaha! Love the twist at the end, and of course, Severus taking vengeance on behalf of Hermione; love that you kept the identity of the attacker anonymous for the reader to imagine whomever they wish as well as the level of the vile deed of violence done to Rose!xxx

Thanks! So glad the story worked for you, and I appreciate the review! :D

Aye well....that's my kind of retribution. You see I'm a well adjusted, very reasonable individual....BUT if anyone was going to mess with my girls I believe I would become a tigress....my patronus/daemon....by the way. Way to go Sev.....but he wouldn't have stopped me if Rose had been my daughter. Mind you we don't know exactly what this bastard has done but if Hermione was willing to risk Azkaban it must have been serious. Well done. Best wishes, Love (a very kick-ass) Ali xxxx.

Leave it to Severus to be the voice of reason. He has no morals when it comes to the ones he loves.Good job.
Response from linlawless (Author of No Vengeance for the Strong)
I wouldn't say he has *no* morals -- but he's definitely in a gray area.Thanks for reviewing!

untraceable wand! she should've thought of it!Go Sevvie!~
Response from linlawless (Author of No Vengeance for the Strong)
Severus is right, though; doing this sort of thing is not Hermione. Letting it go without doing anything is not his. Thanks for reviewing!

I don't think ANYONE will mess with his family, after he has finished.
Response from linlawless (Author of No Vengeance for the Strong)
I'm sure he would love it if the word got around and people left them alone. Thanks for the review!

Rose is, the daughter of two of ''The Golden Trio'' ,God-daughter of Harry Potter, and last ,but by nomeans least, step-daughter of Severus Snape. I don't think thay will try very hard to find the person, that reduced her attacker to a quivering mass, that would consider a dementors kiss, a mercy.{Severus would not let him die, that would be too kind} 
It wil be one of those things , that everyone knows, but on one talks about. Thank you for a very thought provoking story. 
Response from linlawless (Author of No Vengeance for the Strong)
Probably true ... One wonders to what degree that is a just outcome. Does vengeance equal justice? Hard to say. Thanks for the comments :)

I loved the ending. The way in which Severus didn't let Hermione soil her hands but then went into Death Eater mode and took revenge with an untraceable wand. Lovely.

I have mixed feelings about it, TBH, but it seemed like he would never have been able to leave it be, so ...Thanks for reviewing!

Re-reading this, and crying all over. How did you to write something that so accurately reflects my confused senses of right and wrong and justice?
Response from linlawless (Author of No Vengeance for the Strong)
Awwww, thanks! All I did was let the muse do as she would with the prompt! Luckily, you like what she came up with...
