Voted Best New Author (Lumos), Best SS/HG Romance (Amortentia) and Best SS/HG Angst
(Diffindo) in The New Library Awards.
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.

Maybe being ripped limb from limb would improve his disposition?Great chapter.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! Well, it might improve Sev's disposition to get to do it!

That's intense. I'm so sorry they had to rush everything.

I'm not sure things were ever destined to be good for their wedding and first night, but surely they could have been better. Sigh.

I can't put into words how good I found this chapter. "X" Crossing my fingers for a good meeting with Voldie.

I've finally stopped long enough to review... Oh, he can be such a complete BASTARD!! I have learned to control my tears when I read stories at work, but this is one of those moments where my heart just ACHES for Hermione. Ugh! I'm really loving this story, by the way
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so very much! I know, this chapter was fun and also very tough and angsty by the end. Poor Hermione!

I'm attemping to fix the problem Snape finds himself in. That's the only fixing I'm doing.
Huff!snapeaddiction's response: Easy Hufflepuff, I was just being impatient obsessed helpful.snapeaddiction's response: Impatient & obsessed were to have lines through them, because they are obviously not the right words.

Admit it, you have been looking at a picture of Princess Anne when describing Hermione's mother.But what on earth do you mean with: "...she looked like she spent far too much time on a horse." *Pouts* Spending too much time on a horse is NOT a bad thing!Oh, I love it how you circumvent the cliches. Not Lord!Snape in a manor house, but an aristocratic Hermone. Priceless!And the way her mother hinted that she understood why she apparently had fallen for Snape... An chapter full of surprises!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, remember, it's Snape's snarky side that said she'd spent too much time on a horse. I would never say such a thing!
And yes, Princess Anne would be a very good representation of Hermione's mum!

Bite my arse.
Indeed - I nearly choked from laughing. That was a rather good one.
The bonding gift scene from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw was very sweet. How sterotypically Gryffinor /Slytherin not to have thought of something like this.But little Peregrine saved the situation for Slytherin.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I think it's an indication of how far Hermione has been stretched that she would respond in such a way to a teacher! LOL!

Ah, you went against one of my favourite pet-peeves: Virgin!Hermione gets multiple orgasms at her defloration. Of course the circumstances that led to her not-so-romantic wedding night were rather harsh.The wedding in the crypt was beautiful. You described the magic that flowed and sealed the bond marverllously. A great scene.The flight through the cathedral after they already were outside the Room of Requirement is a puzzle to me. Are going to explain that in future chapters?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I think the situation at the cathedral will be explained to your satisfaction later (I hope).
I'll admit, I staged the wedding in the crypt for no good reason except that I loved the idea of it and have been in that crypt before, but there are ramifications so it was a lucky choice I made.
Thank you!

What started out as a light, enertainig tale, has started to get a bit darker.I'm very curious what's going to await me on the ride. So far I have enjoyed reading your tale immensly.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! Yes, my original intention was for this to be light and fluffy and sexy but as soon as I went into Severus's pov the first time, his rage overpowered me and he wrenched the story away from me.I'm thrilled that you're liking it and that you're letting me know. I really to appreciate seeing your reactions!
Response from apisa_b (Reviewer)
I'm reading your story offline, so I probably won't comment on every chapter. But I'm taking notes as I read along, so I don't forget to feed the author's muse.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
And for that, the author's muse is VERY appreciative! She's soaking up all my energy at this point and needs all the sooting and petting she can get! Thank you!

She did not atually tell him that she had ranked Dumbledore and Lockhart before him on her personal list of husbands-to-be? Speaking about subtility LOLA promising start.

You bewitch!!!!!!!! I wait for WEEKS for this and This is what you give us-- how many plot bunnies bit you my wonderful author? Apparently they must have been rabid plot bunnies for these twists and turns. Keep the good ship afloat and lets ride out the floodwaters to another update please please. . . .
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Speaking of floodwaters, it's pouring down outside and thunder is crashing overhead. Um, do you have direct ties to the gods? Because honestly, you don't have to wish my floodwaters; I won't be offended if you take that back!
Thank you SO much for your wonderful review!

Fortunately, the sun made a quick reappearance! In the meantime, I'm working on it, I'm working on it....

How delightful that your need to squeeze half blood Snape into the Marriage Law led to this. Cool. Like Snape's response, his feeling that he's betraying Hermione for the first time. I look forward to the development of that thought. Also, the father angle had crossed briefly across the surface of my mind before this, don't remember when, and that's good. It means you laid groundwork for it. But what I really wanted to tell you today was that every time I run across the words "too much" nowadays, I hear them in Snape's voice, when he's telling Dumbledore off. Which, awesome. You're in my brain, sister!
