It had started off as an ordinary night for the girl and him, until he received the news that threatened to erase ten years of quiet joy. My response to the "Fall 2006 Prompt Challenge" at Potter_Place.

ThanksExcellent as always :)
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thank you for reviewing! =]
Poor Harry. That's a lot to deal with at once. Hermione's dumb arse should have "warned" him first before forcing Sanpe and the little girl to go there. I'm glad that Snape seems to be okay so far. Maybe things can work out smoothly after all.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Yup, Harry defintely needed a hug at the end of this chapter. And for the last thing, I'll just say that I love my happy endings. =]
I liked it, I liked it! Can't wait to see how this turns out.Witchywoman
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thanks! =] (Chapter 4's in queue)
So much emotion, so much suspense! Great job, I can't wait for more!!
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Chapter four's in queue; thanks for the review! =]
So far this is wonderful. I'm really looking forward to following the rest of the story.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thanks! :-)
EVIL cliff hanger! Reader abuse!! You best post the next chapter quick young lady! No fair torturing Snape and Marie!!
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I'm writing Chapter 4, so the cliff-hanger shouldn't be so hard to bear. Thanks so much for reviewing! =]
Poor Snape has fallen in love with Marie. As I think anyone would who cares for a child would do. He thinks Marie will abandon him when she meets her absent father. Silly man. Marie will always love him. Don’t torture Severus too much. 
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I plan not to torture Snape too much... so far. =] Thanks for the review!
Ouuuuu so many questions! Why on earth did they pick Snape to raise the girl? Did all of the Weasley family perish? Did having Marie around help with whatever cure Snape has been working on? Oh I know you wont answer me so I’ll just hop to the next chapter. Well done by the way 
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I might answer some of them... I already know why Snape was picked to raise Marie, but I want to save the explanation for a future chapter. And some Weasleys will make their appearance sometime soon. Thanks for reviewing! =]
Ouch. This story hurts your heart just to read it. Is there more? Its like a train wreck. You have to watch even though you know you don't want to.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Does it help to say that I never write sad endings? =] Thanks for the review!
I'm afraid that Snape is headed for heart ache! I hope not.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I hope not either! Thanks for reviewing. :-)
Ohhh, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Marie totally doesn't go running to meet Harry. I think it is right that Harry gets to live with his daughter, but I also don't like the idea of Severus being hurt by Marie leaving. I hope Marie shows that she still cares about "her Severus". Please, don't leave everyone in suspense - update soon!
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I'm in the process of writing the next chapter - thanks for your review! :-)
Ok stopping there was just evil. My mind is racing with all the possibilities of what will happen once that door is open. Will Harry realize who the girl is? Will he reject her because he sees Ginny in her? (as she is the same age as when Harry met Ginny for the first time) or will he, as Severus suspects, scoop her up body and soul and away from Snape? Will Marie rush to Harry or cling to Severus? Will Hermione cry? I can't wait to take those next steps with you. Thanks for posting. JoAnne
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
*cue witch's cackle* The next chapter should be coming soon.You bring up so many suggestions that I wonder if I should add one of them into my hazy mental outline for the story. Thank you so much for the review. =]
A great start--you've got me hooked! I really like the 'tone' of Snape's interactions with Marie--think you've captured how he would be perfectly. Not gushy, but protective and quietly loving.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
You liked my tone! =] I was really trying to capture Snape's quiet sort of protection and love for Marie without making him overly affectionate and... un-Snapeish? Thanks for reviewing.
Too horrible! That cliffie needs to be resolved for us! I don't think I can stand it if I have to wait very long for an update. Please hurry with it so I don't have to think about sad Severus and how I want to cry for him!
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Am writing Chapter 4; thanks so much for reviewing! =]
Oh, what an emotional cliffie. This story is very well written, and I'm so glad you update so often.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thank you! Hopefully I'll be able to keep updating as fast I have been. =]
I really enjoyed the memory of Snape and Marie. I think he makes a good daddy, whether he believes it or not. :) I can't wait to see what happens next.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I'm glad you enjoyed the flashback, even though it pushed the scene I wanted to write to another chapter - speaking of which, I wrote approximately 5 words for. =] Thanks for reviewing.
I am really liking the father-figure Snape in this story. I am also looking forward to what will happen next, between Hermione and Snape as well as what happens with Marie's care. And Harry, can't forget Harry!
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I'm glad you like Snape as a father figure... I was a little worried about writing him as such, but if he was raising a child for ten years... I'm keeping mum on what happens between Hermione and Snape, as well as Harry, but thanks for reviewing. (Chapter 3's in queue)
Oh, this is very sweet! I love the protectiveness Snape has for little Marie.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thank you very much! =]
I feel so sorry for Snape. I can't wait to see what happens next.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I feel sorry for Snape, too. Hopefully I can get ideas for what happens in the upcoming chapters. =]
Wow. After reading the other Fall Prompt Challenges I convinced myself that this one that I submitted was too complicated to be chosen. I cannot tell you what a thrill it is to me to have it selected for expansion. I am not a writer, but a lover of good writing and I am certainly familiar with your talent. I cannot wait to see where you take this. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I know I will. Thanks again, JoAnne
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thank you so much! I went over the challenges quite a few times, and yours was something I would have wanted to read, so I decided to write it. Hopefully I can do the prompt the justice it deserves, because I know it won't be an easy story to write... I guess that's why it's called a challenge. =]
I can't wait for more and am quite smug that I will get to see what's next before anyone else.Snicker...Great start, and I can understand Snape's feelings exactly. Looking forward to learn more about his past dealings with Hermione.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
lol! I'm so glad you're beta'ing my work.His past dealings with Hermione? That remains to be seen... *evil laughter* =]
Just discovered this story and loved it. More chapters please
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
Thank you so much! I know I haven't updated for a long time, but it's not abandoned. I'm just a little lost into what direction I want to take it. Hopefully I can continue it soon. :-)
With forthcoming chapters, is this going to start making any more sense? Draco wasn’t sure Ginny was dead when he took the baby and apparated away with her. He gets Hermione to be Bonder for the Vow that commits an unrelated 38-year-old male, only child, life-long bachelor to raise this baby girl all by himself. Draco Malfoy names the baby after his own grandmother. The Weasleys are not given the option of raising their own granddaughter. Not to mention this group that burned the Muggle village where Snape lived with Marie … no clues as to what that’s all about either. And with Marie and Hermione knowing each other, why don’t the cousins know each other? At some point I hope the back-story catches up with the current one so this starts to jell a bit.
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
I had two options while first creating this fic - either explain everything in a sort of 'sing-songy' fashion with all the information crammed in the beginning like a first-grader's primer, or piece smaller parts of the story together, revealing something new in the first chapters until the major portion of the story develops.There are many questions to still be answered. For the first part, I can say that Draco brought the baby to Snape because he trusted him. There was still a threat after the war - the day after Voldemort's demise still saw Death Eaters attacking openly. If Snape (who at this point was still a wanted wizard) and Harry Potter's child (who would no doubt be a target) were to be in hiding, both of their lives could be spared... In addition, the terms of the challenge stated that Snape was the caregiver of the girl.As for Draco naming Marie, that was my own personal choice to do, especially since Snape didn't seem able to process the fact that the child was a child yet.The cousins don't really know each other because Hermione was the only person who visited Marie. In my mind, Marie is rather 'out of sight, out of mind' with her cousin, especially since they've only seen each other through pictures. Hmmm... and those who burned the village? Another mystery.I hope this answer will suffice, but if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. :-)
Oh my! Harry in the kitchen -- I didn't see that one coming. Next chapter should be very interesting. And did I miss something along the way? -- why would Snape and Marie staying with Hermione be a sacrifice outside of providing accomodations -- maybe I don't understand the state of the wizarding world at this point -- is this an internal threat from Harry's side or remaining death eaters or ministry trouble? I look forward to finding all these answers. Thanks, JoAnne
Response from SS Lupin (Author of Recovery)
My reasoning for Snape needing to stay at Hermione's mainly relied on the fact that he and Marie are a vunerable target from certain people which will be explained soon.Did I answer your question? If I didn't, please let me know. :-)
