Seventh-year student Hermione Granger decides to marry the one eligible wizard who did not ask for her--the horrid but powerful Severus Snape. All is not sweetness and light. Be careful what you ask for. Or, as has been said by many a wise witch, "Marry in haste; repent in leisure." MLC

With the completion of Care of Magical Creatures my fanfic output is going to slow way down, but if you want to be sure to know when new fics post, please follow me on twitter. I don't tweet much, but I'll surely tweet that kind of thing.
About Mia
I came to the world of Harry Potter relatively early, after first resisting it because it just seemed too trendy. But when the first book came out in paperback in the US I picked it up at the airport when I was about to catch a flight, and two chapters in knew I would be ordering the original from amazon.co.uk in hardcover as soon as I landed.
I came to fanfic late, waiting until after I'd read DH. That means I've been totally obsessed with the fanfic world of Harry Potter, and most specifically the SS/HG ship, since August of '07.
I'm helplessly and hopelessly hooked.
Reviews for Care of Magical Creatures
Oh I just found this was updated and am so happy and there is another yet to read. Keep them coming this is a great story.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! Yes, the last chapters have been written and are being posted as quickly as they can work their way through the queue.
Another great chapter. So sentimental. But yet so much. Hermione testifying should be interesting. Thanks so much can't wait to read more!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you. They still have issues that have to be handled.
*deep happy sigh* I am so content-no, extatic is more how I feel. I feared some chapters ago that they couldn't make it to the end, alive, together. I can see the end of the tunnel now, and I'm relieved. Unless, of course, you've kept a few tricks up your sleeve. But please, look at them. They so much deserve happiness and peace (well at least until the baby's born for the latter ;).
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I don't want to give anything away, but honestly, it would rip my heart out to see them keep suffering. Thank you so much.
Goodness, that was heart wrenching but fantastic!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that you're reading and liking it!
Mhm... Yes, short, but still...Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, it just seemed that to add anything else to it would leech some of the mood away and so I let it stay short.
Dobby is just the CUTEST!...It's also very cute how Sevi gets himself all worked up because of her school-girl state....Fight like fucking hell, Miss Granger."And just like that—in a single instant—the tension was gone. She felt herself grin, felt herself glow, and felt a surge of energy jolt through her.Yes! That's our Hermy!...Oh my... What's happened now???Oh... but that's so wonderful! So, so wonderful...Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Your reviews are so wonderful. You just can't imagine how much they mean to me right now, since I just finished this fic (the last chapters are posting now) and it's so lovely watching you read your way through it and share your responses. Thank you!
interesting... not my most favorite chapter until now, but i sense something big and exciting is coming!!!!! ahhh!! I can't wait!!!!two thumbs up!!!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you very much for sticking with me, and for continuing to review. I truly appreciated it. And the next chapter is coming soon!
Regarding your notes: I like 'simplied' a lot! For me it summons up just right what they are doing. it is a very nice mood.Let me tell you again how very much I love your approach to all things Death Eaters. Voldy's 'curiousity' is such a great aspect. (And again just the right tone, neither too much nor too less).I also very much like the way Hermy and Sevi talk to each other in this chapter (again).I had completely forgotten about the conversation he overheard! Wonder when we will REALLY get back to it...Lastly something that already occured to me during the day:The way Sevi keeps calling her 'Miss Granger'. It's an interesting aspect since (if I - hopefully - recall right) HE was the one who wanted her to take HIS name in the first place...Hoping you understood at least part of what I've written,Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I understood it all! And I'm glad you liked the "simplied." When this chapter was uploaded I was told it wasn't a verb and I should change it, and when I chose not to, I was told to add a disclaimer of some sort, so I did.Severus never actually voiced an opinion on her name; she simply insisted she wasn't going to use it and caught him off guard. And I think it probably did annoy him, but he was annoyed about everything at the moment!
Back to sleep? He isn't actually going to sleep in those sheets, is he?Great chapter. From the encounter with Voldy - I like that 'we are a family' touch again - to the aftermath of his homecoming.The encounter was actually so good I briefly considered re-reading it on the spot.Exellent.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! (He probably wasn't in them long. Just until she came back out, I'd think. LOL!)
wow...i love the idea of telling the elves stories, too! what an amazing update. will we see the trial? thanks so much (me blowing kisses)
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! The next chapter should post very soon!
No f*%$ing way!!!! "Luke, I am your father..." I wondered but I didn't see it coming. F'd up man. But I'm completely addicted to the story and in some twisted way I like this turn - well maybe not like it, probably hate it, i'm very confused about my feelings actually, but I am intrigued nonetheless.Wicked, wicked, wicked...
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! I love your reaction, and I totally love your fire-breathing angry face. Thank you so much!
Taking it a little slow at the moment, hm? But I don't mind.It's actually quite relaxing for a change...And as the last couple of lines suggest we are already picking up pace again anyway.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you! Yes, it felt like we needed a bit of change of pace at this point!
Mhm... This was ... nice...Nothing better than a good conversation to calm the waves...Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! This was truly one of my favorite chapters.
Ugh, I hate Dumbledore. Poor Severus...
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Ah, yes. Dumbledore was willing to die (as we know from canon) and force Severus to do the deed, so when the target shifted to Hermione, I figured he'd feel that was just as necessary. Thank you.
Response from snapesphoenix (Reviewer)
I agree. I love this fic...one of the best I've read!
Go Hermione! Although, I would've hated to see what could happen if Dumbledore didn't forgive her insubordination and allow her to be inducted... I am still glad she was defiant but in control.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, she took a huge chance there, but I loved her loyalty, too. And the fact that she made everyone acknowledge it.
dear ron, not so clueless! i was so happy to see this update. thanks so much
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
No, I like Ron too much to do that to him in this fic. It's not his fault that he and Hermione are a bad match!
Well now you've found the exact compromise between rough and head-over-heals-in-love. A compromise I very much approve of.I like this way. Though I nearly emitted an inner sigh of frustration when they started bickering again. Which doesn't mean it was any less fun!Keep going like that, it's great.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Whew! I'm glad it worked for you. Thank you!
You know, the thing with the bra is funny. Because there's this other story I'm reading and in that one Sevi's practically obsessed with Hermy and a black bra. The one with the lace....Ron's hair and Harry's eyes, huh? I'm not sure whether he'll fall to his knees at her feet or furiously hurt her if Hermy turns into a double of Lily......Oh my. Can't he just give in? Just this once? If it's so important to her? Poor little Hermy. She's doing everything she can...I'm speaking more on Hermy's behalf here than on my own. I personally am not very much in favor of the 'Severus Snape, a changed man, utterly in love' thing.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, change shouldn't come easily for him, that's for sure.I'm glad you liked her toying with ideas for change. LOL A little twisting of the knife, there.
Marking his essays now, is she? ...And we're cleaning up a bit. Good. And about time Harry & Co. come to their senses. Poor Hermy. She needs them. Especially after Saturday night. Because that man seems to me clearly and utterly pissed.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh yes, he's not in a good frame of mind for Saturday night!Thank you!
VERY interesting conversation...The thing with Narcissa is an idea I've entertained one way or another as well.And Hermy is really cute with all her lists.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, we can have all sorts of seedy thoughts about what goes in on Slytherin, can't we?Thank you!
Excluding the last bit, that was completely and terrifyingly beautiful.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so very much. It was intense to write so I'm hoping that came through.
Response from snapesphoenix (Reviewer)
I'm sure it was intense to write - it was intense to read but I can relate to Hermione a lot in her fear of receiving pleasure. It came through beautifully-just wish I had that champagne and tingly feeling too. Maybe one day soon I'll have some exciting sex! Lol
Argh...I really have to go to sleep but I can't stop reading.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Ooops! I hope I didn't mess up your sleeping too badly!And thank you again!
This should definitely be interesting. I can just see Dumbledore getting bombarded by all those owls.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I'm so glad you're liking it, and that you're sharing your reactions with me! Thank you!
Wow, what a proposal - LoL!************************************************Professor Snape, his own wand dangling languidly from his fingertips. "I don’t believe I am quite finished with you." ************************************************I do hope that is a promise of good things to come...
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, knowing Severus, there must be... doncha think?Thank you!
Oh Neville was so cute...And Minerva... Well, she was NOT cute.And oh Salazar's bed, how exciting! Pity you disposed of it so quickly, I'm sure there was some really fascinating magic concealed in it - apart from a serpent's ability to swallow large animals whole (so maybe Hermione as well).The normal bed though was no less fun!And I am Very. Ready. Indeed. for Saturday, too.Severa
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Neville is a Gryffindor. He manages to be brave. Sometimes.We might just see that bed again....Again, thanks!
