After many years away, and many forays into other fandoms, I'm back to my roots. The Granger-Snapes!
Reviews for The Softer Side of Severus Snape
wtg on the chapter, having two little ones myself I know how uncomfortable you feel!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I've only got a few more weeks left. He's due at the beginning of January (yep, it's a boy!). Hopefully, I can get back to writing more after we're settled in. Thanks for reading! ~The Mistress
Thank you thank you for your reassurance! I so dread the thought of an abandoned fic. Congrats on your pending new arrival. I so enjoy your depiction of a softer Severus. I know that he has it in him. I would love to see he and Hermione marry with the supporting presence of Samantha in their lives.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I'm so glad you liked it. I'm wishing for that too, although the story has taken several turns from the plan. But maybe I can tweek the story a bit (
). Thanks for reading. ~The Mistress
I've just read this as a whole, and I am a huge Snape fan but I really adore your Snape. Its beautifully written and the slow burn is perfect for these two......or should that be three leads. Thanks for such a great Snape story.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thank you so much! I'm working on the rest of the story now, but I'm not sure when I will be able to update seeing as how I am still getting things ready for the birth of my son. Hopefully, I can get the next chapter up soon. ~The Mistress
Congratulations and good luck with the baby. I have two year old girl myself, and I really can't remember what I did before I had her.
I'm really enjoying this story and I hope you get a chance to finish it, but you take your time.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Oh I'm definitely going to finish it. I've just got to get into the flow of university and spending time with my husband. I promise I'll get a new chapter up soon. ~The Mistress
Congradulations on the baby! I have two boys myself (aged 3 and 5) my eldest is finally getting into Harry Potter and my youngest reconises Severus Snape. He says " Snape, Snape, Snaaappppeee!". I am enjoying your story and can't wait to see what happens next. I am glad you went AU since I'm annoyed with JKR killing off the Headmaster and I'm worried to death about DH. I really need to get a life! LOL
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I've already started DH and am convinced most of my stuff will be AU, or at least HBP compliant. Thanks so much for the encouragement! ~The Mistress
loving the story, and congrats by the way as well! can't wait to be reading more!!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thank you very much! I hope to get another chapter out soon, but I just picked up my copy of DH and I may be a while! ~The Mistress

Thanks so much. I hope to be updating this one soon. ~The Mistress

Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Get a little "Submit" happy, did we? I'm just joking, I do it all the time. ~The Mistress
OMG..this is such a brillent story, completly different from any other story i have ever read..well done! i will be holding my breath until the next chapter comes out
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Oh, please don't do that, it may be at least a week before the next chapter comes out, as I am leaving for camp on Saturday. 
Thanks for the kind words, they really do feed the muse. ~The Mistress
So...his dream of Samantha happened, and then it changed to a dream of him and Hermione? I should've realized that, but I was so caught up in reading that I forgot that Hermione had left.Wonderful chapter though - I really liked it! *grin*You're an amazing author, and I love your Snape. You're doinga wonderful job, and I hope you update again very soon!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thanks so much! I'm rather attached to a more mellow Severus when I can get a hold of him. And with the hope that I haven't ruinged anything, the night isn't over yet. ~The Mistress
Another excellent chapter. Thank you for the update. Hope you enjoy camp!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thanks so much! ~The Mistress
this is such a good story
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thanks so much! ~The Mistress
Not your best work? My dear, this was absolutely lovely. I have to say you had me going there for a minute. LOL, I should have known he was dreaming, as I can't see him bedding Hermione so quickly here.I hope you have a fun time at camp, but of course I hope you get back quickly. I have my own selfish reasons, since I want to ready the next chapter fo this as soon as possible.I'm really looking forward to more of this.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I'm taking a notebook to continue writing when I have some downtime--if that ever happens with 20 11th and 12th graders! I'm working on the next chap. of Always, too. ~The Mistress
Haha. I was fooled, thinking it was really happening. Nice chapter. I think Andromeda's feeling of attachment to Hermione is portrayed perfectly. Good work.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Well, then, I suppose I did my job correctly, hmm? Thanks so much! ~The Mistress
good chapter
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thanks, you are so to thank for helping me get this one out. Some Sirius in the next chapter, I promise. ~The Mistress
Well the sex was a surprise and this is one time I was pleased it was a dream (assuming I read that right!) LOL.Writer's block is a bitch and talking it over is always good. It was a tricky chapter to write, the coming home bit, and it could have been very angsty. The attraction and recent widowhood is fraught with danger. You did fine!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I'm so flattered that you liked it! I think the whole angsty bit was what blocked me up a bit, but hopefully I'll be able to get through the next chapter a bit quicker. ~The Mistress
Nice developments. I could imagine Severus fighting all this a bit more, but then he needs the support too. Looking forward to the nxt bit.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Trust me, Severus isn't going to give in as easily as it looks. I'm having a bit of trouble making him play along! ~The MistressP.S. OMG!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
read one of my fics! Someone call an ambulance, I think I just had a heart attack! This is like Southern, NSS, and LOTM reading them, too! I feel like such a novice.
Awwwwwww
I love it it is soooooooo sweet!!!
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Thanks! I just hope it isn't sappy. ~The Mistress
OMG! I love this story! I can't wait for you to update. I hope it's going to be soon.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I'm working on the next chapter now. I've got a week off so I'm going to try to update Always too. ~The Mistress
What an interesting thought...I'm not unfamilliar with the idea of twin souls/flames. It's an interesting subject. Also, in metaphysical studies, some people believe that there are soul groups, and that among those souls within your group, all of them are soul mates, though not all of the romantic type. Enough of that, I'll just say, excellent job, and leave it at that. ;)
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Interesting. Thanks for the wonderful review! ~The Mistress
Ahhh How dare Poppy do that, he was just about to tell her... grrrrrrrr
Love the story tho... lovely and sad
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Hermione is a smart girl, I think she figures it out all on her own with what little information Severus gave her. ~The Mistress
I love visits from the dead. Keep going...
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
Sirius might show up sooner or later. Who knows? ~The Mistress
unexpected twist indeed. You've got me surprised with that animus geminae thing.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I was afraid people would be mad about it, but I guess not. I kind of liked writing it! ~The Mistress
i look forword to seeing another dream sequence with sirius in it.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I'm doing my best to get him in there somewhere, I promise! I've got a few funny lines in mind for him, he just always struck me as a funny kind of guy! ~The Mistress
This is absolutely lovely. I was just asking for another chapter over on wiktt yesterday. I am glad you've not brought Sirius in. LOL. He'd be out of place here if you ask me about it. Teehee.I simply can't wait to see what happens next. Good work.
Response from themistresssnape (Author of The Softer Side of Severus Snape)
I don't know, he might serve as some comic relief in a sometimes heavy story. But, then again, that's Andromeda's job, right? ~The Mistress
