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.

The religious overtones are very apropos for the beginning of their new life together.My reaction to the pregnancy was the same as Hermiones I didn't like the idea but the more I thought about it the more it fit, although I am curious about how she will retain the magic once the baby comes.At first I wondered if he would have really followed through with his plans to take all their lives once he had time to think on it, but then he lives only for her and because of her. Their's is the type of love that inspires a fearful reverence, any and all should be wary who might try to come between them as Voldemort and Dumbledore have found out.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I loved reading your reactions, and your summation--a fearful reverence--makes me glow. Thank you so much.

And here I thought he was fretting about his bargain with Voldemort. Did that not mare his soul?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, of course, the story isn't over yet, but I think we see which "betrayal" he was most concerned about. Thank you for your review!

Ahhh. Conception magic. An interesting twist!

Yes, I can't imagine anything more powerful, myself than to create life where there was none.

It is so wonderful that the desperation and the turmoil have been eased and that they have each other again. Reading this chapter over and over again have lightened my heart considerably. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next.

What can I say that I haven't already said 59 times give or take?
Except that after this chapter, my face actually hurts. You worked every fucking muscle. And I'm blaming you for all my wrinkles from now on.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Your face hurts?!? Now that is a first. Thank you so much!
Response from slasher454 (Reviewer)
I think the proper response when someone tells you that their face hurts is that it's killing you, too. But I'll let you slide this time.Yeah, you had me making every kind of face, from confused to surprised to angry to elated. Seriously, every muscle.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)

(Seriously.)

If his kisses were insufficient to awaken her from her near-death sleep, her kisses would raise the dead from their graves.I thought that was the beast line ever when I read it. And I was so sure he was going to tell her about what he is, about his, not at all regretted, father. And then you blurted it out without even the tiny little clue. WOW you're my heroe. A nice epilogue about how parent's life can be (like changing dirty nappies ;) and you can ask anything of me. ANYTHING.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, we have more ahead of us than a brief epilogue! Thank you for your effusive and beautiful review!

I am utterly amazed, in awe of your ability to take my expectations and turn them so astonishingly on their ear. Not my expecattions of their courage, their love, their brilliance, their prickly individuality--but my expectations of where that will take them precisely. And the child that would come from such a union! Conceived in a blending of faith and magic, reuniting two blended souls, reinforcing once more the bond that is between them. All I can say is God and Merlin help anyone in the general vicinity!I am amazed at his ability to recgnize and articulate (as eloquently as one so unused to emotional articulation can put it) that he chose her from the beginning, that he knew instantly that she was for him, and that he saw (and still sees) it as a supremely selfish act. Miss Granger, do disabuse him of that false assumption. He chose, but so do she, and yes, it may be difficult (impossible, even) to separate out what part is faith, what part is choice, what part is chance, what part is magic.... Yet does the fact that all of these may be present mean that none of them matter?This is dense and complicated and utterly, utterly exquisite. Amazing writing, my dear!

Thank you so very, very much. Your review just amazes me, because it reaches so many of the corners of this chapter and what I intended with it.

I am sure that I will read this chapter a few times in the next days because it is so beautiful and so packed that I simply didn't get it all at once. Thank you!

A baby? Oh wow! I cant tell you how glued to my laptop I was when I read this. I'd expected a reunion of some sort, but again you surprise me and throw a baby into the mix. I liked the conception-as-magic concept, I think it worked flawlessly.Congratulations on another marvellous chapter!gemxk2
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so very much. There are a couple of people who I told ahead of time about this twist who were alarmed and thought it might upset people, but I couldn't imagine it any other way. Conception IS magic, and for them, was their last chance.
