The Tenant of Lyonesse Hall is on a temporary hiatus. Look for an update in winter 2012!
Reviews for Sage
Lovey chapter, I loved the way Severus acted and way too funny he stuck her with the entire check. I'm sure she will find a way to get even.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you, dear! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And yes, Severus is a bit of a bastard, lest anyone forget! Thank you for reading and reviewing; it's always so wonderful to have proof that people are actually reading and enjoying. :-)
woohoo, update! thanks for this lovely chapter! Severus is so sneaky..with the conversation and leaving the bill..lol. can't wait for the next one! i hope there's som snogging :P it's probably still awhile before that but i can hope, can't i?
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
You are most welcome dear - it is an absolute pleasure to write in this fandom for this specific pairing. And thank you for reading and consistently reviewing - I so appreciate it. Rest assured, snogging will come... eventually. ;-) Hope springs eternal. Best wishes!
I've finally caught up with this again - excellent!
I love the Paris chapters, and Hermione's life. And now she's met Severus at last! Ooh.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you, dear! I'm so pleased you're enjoying Hermione's new life. And chapter nine is in the queue, so check back soon!

Loved the end of the chapter - the Oh God - and then the passing out - she knew it but it overwhelmed her. I loved this line that you wrote:
"She was too lost in thought to notice the shock of black that slipped in and out of the crowds, moving towards her, or the gaze that fixed on her with a raw, animal-like intensity." Wonder what he was thinking. He did insult her when he spoke - Typical Severus - insult first and insult later.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Yes, it was quite overwhelming for her. :-) And you're spot on in that Severus would insult first. I'm so pleased you are enjoying the story - chapter nine is in the queue. I look forward to hearing your thoughts when it's posted!
Interesting - she found the house and he was probably inside. Loved the ending that Cosette was the instrument of her seeing Severus - I am beginning to think maybe she was his girlfriend -only time will tell.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
I can tell you that Cosette was not Severus' girlfriend at any point in time. I'm very glad you enjoyed the bit with the Prince Cottage. :-) Thank you for reviewing!
Well her new friend is taking her to the place no one would tell her about and I wonder if maybe the boyfriend she is describing is maybe Severus -??? Sticky situation if it is.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
No, Cosette's boyfriend is not Severus - decidedly not. :-)
Interesting how she got the job offer - Now I am dying with curiosity how she finds Severus and what happens between them.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
How does she find him? - that is the question! :-)
Great scene - so Victor saw him and owled Hermione - good way to work that one in. Interesting the Ginny tried to reason with her about the wedding. Obviously Ron and Hermione married but 5 years later. So many questions to go
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you - it's important that this sort of thing comes off as naturally as possible. And yes, Ginny is a good friend to Hermione. Ron and Hermione married 7/8 years after DH, and this portion is 2 years after DH, so yes - five more years to go before they marry, in the "past" timeline.
What a cliffie to leave the story at the beginning of the conversation as to why Hermione left England - good chapter - on to the next to find the answer
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
It's a cliffie, but luckily the next chapter is right there. :-) Thank you for reviewing!
How could Severus let her get away - what does he feel now. She is kidding herself - a part of her still loves him maybe not as much as back then but it could come back to full force if she is in his presence. Good chapter
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you, dear! I love that you left chapter-by-chapter reviews - it is so fun to see the progression of reactions. I'm very pleased you enjoyed how this chapter went.
Good chapter - lots of mystery. What was Hermione doing for 5 years. Why did Severus send a patronus... only more reading well tell
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Indeed. That is the question! Such questions will be (somewhat) answered in short time. Thank you for reviewing!
Couldn't resist a re-read of this savagely sexy Severus. It still gets me all tied up in a knot and leaves me a little breathless.Oh, we do love that man.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
"Savagely sexy." ~fans self~ See, that's the sort of advertisement we all could put on our fics. "Click here for savagely sexy!, broken!bastard Severus," or whatever fit the bill.
...bad anything, really” Hermione said...There should be a comma after really.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Absolutely brilliant.
I'm so glad to see an update for this story. Off to Capois, huh? Hopefully one step closer to Severus...
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you! I am so glad you are still reading - thank you so much. And yes, we are perhaps one step closer on the journey. :-)

This is a wonderful story and I'm glad to see it back on track. I love Cosette (kind of reminds me of Ginny).
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you for sticking with the story, m'dear. I am so pleased you're enjoying it; I am very humbled by those who have stuck with the story through its ridiculously long hiatus: thank you. And I love Cosette, as well. She and Ginny (as I see her) definitely share some traits, and Hermione is attracted to these traits: outspokenness, a certain disregard for tradition, unconventional behavior, and so on.
Drat, that was a fun chapter, and now I have to wait... Well, I definitely look forward to the update! ^^
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you, dear! It was a fun chapter to write; I'm quite fond of Cosette. You will have an update soon, hopefully; chapter seven is currently in its rough draft.
Cool Hermione has a friend now. I like her. She kicks ass.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
I love Cosette, as well. She's fabulous. If only we all had a friend like that, yes? :-)
how strange how everything is falling into place for Hermione. like it was meant to be
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Indeed. :-)
ok so Ron didn't cheat. and Ginny trying to have them wait; it's almost like she wants them(well mostly Ron) to grow up some. too make sure they really want to be together. I never thought they would last as long as they did. And dear Victor, always a good friend, telling her about Severus and where he is. What a friend. It's amazing how quickly she made the chose to go see him.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Yes, one thing you can say for Hermione, she has excellent, excellent friends. And thank you for leaving reviews for every chapter - I so enjoy seeing this sort of series, of seeing your reactions from chapter to chapter.
oh no Ron cheated didn't he? it figures. i can't wait to see what she tells Rose.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Oh no, Ron's not the type to cheat. I hope I didn't give that impression - I do have a soft spot for Ron, and wanted to give him a proper off'ing.
this is so Harry being Harry. and I can see Hermione being so upset and wanting to see or at least hear from Severus. this story is really deep and keeps getting deeper.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Thank you, dear. I'm pleased that you're enjoying it thus far.
So Miss Granger or should I say Mrs. Granger/Weasley has some secrets? I wonder also what she was up to those five years. And what does Severus have to do with it? Since his patronus is a doe.
Response from lady_rhian (Author of Sage)
Well, Severus has quite a bit to do with it. :-) Thank you for reading!
