that's a good beginning. Wants to learn what will happen as I suppose Hermione will take care of our beloved potions master

That Harry Potter is such a loser! I can see him taking either of two routes. He can become the next MOM and take over running the wizarding world to suit his fancy ... or he can become the next Dark Lord and take over running the wizarding world to suit his fancy! Where is the love, Harry?

Darn you! Now I've got that stupid song humming in my head... with yellow feathers in her hair ... [ah canary creams!]

Oh, write some more! Love your stories. 

OMG!! I LOVED the ending! I was thinking that song, as soon as she said Lola. Funny coincidence, huh?

I can't wait for more!  You've got me on the edge of my seat, and the other story isn't nearly half as interesting as yours.  Good work.

What an extra bonus (it is Friday and pay day)  to open Petulant Poetess and see Subversa has written another story!  Awaiting chapter 2!

I'm so excited. Subversa takes a break from her current fic for some HG/SS stuff. Hurray! I loved the 'Lola' moment.  Poor Hermione. What a terrible situation. More... Pretty please... I love these rapid update HG/SS plot bunnies that you produce.  Hugs to you and SubHub. Muggle Mom

Only Ron would take up with a witch named Lola for more than one night. Avada Colada huh? Spit-take worthy.

A great start! I'm eagerly looking forward to read more.

*giggles at the song* Very intriguing start.

Yay!! A new story in all it glorious Snapey-ness!!! *pauses and lets out a tiny cough* But... you are going to finish Unseen, right?

Poor Hermione! After all that work and nervousness. But it can't be helped...Now I'm all on edge to get to know what will happen next!

Yay! They're gonna get married! Whoop!whoop!

Thank you for this lovely story!

"‘We all have futile hopes, Miss Granger.'"You write Snape so well! I've read this story many times. and I love it more and more each time!

I cried, it was so good. Poor Severus. I hated that he had to die in DH! Rubbish ending for such a brave man.Good job!

Just re-read... again. Work is ungodly stressful this week, and fanfiction = therapy. This story, in particular, is just love... I damn near cry over that epilogue every time! Thank you again for writing such a wonderful story that gives Severus the ending he truly deserves.And Hermione's damn lucky, too. :-)

Well, now that I have stopped crying, I'll just say that if you ever dare to stop writing, I will come to the US, find you, and put you under the Imperius Curse to ensure that the joy continues. Thank you for this. :)

Beautifully written and fantastically executed. Thank you.

Cheers,

Beautiful, thank you!

You have written the perfect epilogue.  First you have given an adoring description of the happy father-to-be for his beloved and newly pregnant wife and their daughter "Felix".  The celebratory soirée Severus arranged for Hermione's graduation, and as the proper wedding reception she'd never had, was such a worthy example of the love he has for her!Second, we are treated to a display of Severus' quiet but dignified and watchful protection of his wife at the reception at the Burrows.Your beautiful description of Severus carrying their new born daughter to Hermione so that she might nurse the baby for the first time is beautiful, and the site of the three of them falling into an exhausted sleep was so perfect.  It depicted all the loving emotion they felt for each other.Then we are given to see Severus sleeping in the rocking chair while holding Felicity, and the baby is holding his finger.  So sweet!  And I love his response to Hermione's question, ‘Why didn’t you put her down and come back to bed?’ she asked.  He held up his hand. ‘She was holding my finger,’ he explained, realising as he said it how foolish it sounded. ‘I didn’t want to wake her up.’  I couldn't stop myself from smiling hugely!Your descriptions of their daily life, with the three of them in their home, watching their child grow are heartwarming.  I especially liked the scene where Felicity gave first evidence of her magical ability.  Severus felt a huge smile break over his face as he lifted the delighted toddler high over his head. ‘That’s my girl!’ he told her, proud to the point of inanity.‘Felix is Daddy’s girl,’ the tyke proclaimed, clinging to his neck when he lowered her again, and she sat contentedly as he held her to him, unmindful of the tears which fell from his eyes into her wild coal-black curls.  Now, this is a scene of perfect bliss!!!You have also give us a wonderful glimpse of what their lives were like while Felicity is growing up.  We are taken from infancy to her first ride on the Hogwarts Express, to her receiving her O.W.L. scores, to her marriage and the birth of Hermione and Severus' grandchildren.I really liked the scene where Severus informs "the apple of his eye" that, ‘Those are not clothes – they are an advertisement.’  to be follow by ‘Felicity Eileen, ... you may follow your mother’s instructions, or you may stay home tonight. The decision is yours to make.’  This is perfect, no nonsense, Snape.  *grins*It was a fitting blessing that Hermione and Severus were given SIX grandchildren, boys and girls: Felix, Severus, Remus, Eileen, Jane, and Alfie!Felicity's publication of Dumbledore’s Double Agent, How the War Was Won by Felix Snape, and Severus' being awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class by the now Minister of Magic, Harry Potter, was justice long overdue!!!

Subversa, this story has been an absolute joy to read.  I really like stories wherein Severus is given the blessings of life he so richly deserved, and I love that he has Hermione in his life as his wife.  I always thought his character was badly short changed in JKR's telling of the tale, and it is works such as yours that make me smile and pump my fist in the air shouting "YES!"1000 Points to Subversa!  Thank you for such a lovely story, for such a wonderful vindication of our Severus.BethPS- I'd rate this story 1000 stars if they'd let me.

Yippie!  Thanks, Beth

There is nothing like miscommunication, or in this case, no communication, to create a scene.  Happily Severus was able to "get his head out of his cauldron" and rectify the problem.I hope he will like being a daddy.  Somehow I think he will.Beth

Utterly charming.  Their love making was sweet, passionate, and powerful -- everything wonderful a newly wed couple could imagine.Nice story telling, Subserva!Beth

Well, Mama got sorted, and Severus got good marks.Nicely done!It made me smile when Severus fell asleep holding Hermione's picture -- a wonderful site, I'm sure.  I only wish Minerva could have taken a picture of him sleeping to send to Hermione.Beth

What a lovely chapter!  When the situation became tense, as in Harry's insistence that Hermione is his best friend and he will be watching, Snape's only response was, ‘That is only to be expected.’  A great way to take the wind out of Harry's sails and be a gentleman at the same time!  I loved it!This story has such an interesting premise, and I can't wait to read on.  A good read!  Thanks, Beth
