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
"Miss Granger, you are the cauldron." I wonder what kind of potion he plans on brewing in this particular cauldron?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I'm glad you picked up on that. A lot of people didn't!
what an exciting chapter. Everything happened so fast.You have to love those weasley twins, the way they talk in unison is so cute.Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful chapter.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Before I discovered fanfic and ss/hg, the Weasley twins were my very favorite Harry Potter characters!
I am almost to shocked to even write this review. Lucius escort Hermione back to Hogwarts, I'm sure neither Severus nor Hermione saw that coming. I know I didn't.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I didn't see it coming and I was writing it!!!
Interesting insight into the way voldamort controls his followers. I hate that Severus has so much guilt but hopefully he will get that all worked out sooner or later.It was sweet when he saw her all dressed up and was sad that she was no longer his Hermione. I really loved that part.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, I wanted to explore a different kind of Voldemort.And that moment when he saw her grown up was meant to show him that she was a woman, and then when he reacted the way he did--it caught me off guard. He's so confused!
Loved the lesson with Madam Hooch, she knew how to push every one of Hermiones buttons. I hope Hooch can help Hermione control all this shimmering magic. I have a feeling Hermione is going to need all the self control she has in the very near future .
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, Hooch really knows how to pull her strings and get her worked up. And yes, hopefully, she also knows how to calm her down!
Severus and Hermione came from very different backgrounds in more ways than one. Interesting to see the contrast.Yikes! Tea at the Malfoys, sounds like the kind of stuff nightmares are made of. I hope we get to hear Madam Hooch tell her story.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh yes, their backgrounds are as different as is imaginable! And yet they share so much.
I love the way he describes Hermione as"--my brilliant little warrior of a wife—" It shows how much he has grown to admire her strength. He is totally in love with her he just can't admit it to himself yet. I can't wait till he does.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, he sees her strengths and resents those who would hurt her. This is the beginning of his understanding.
There appears to be some very powerful magic between the two of them. I can't wait to find out exactly what's causing it.It was kind of Severus to give Ron the picture.I loved them making tea together.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
You notice that he gave Ron the bent one, though. That cracked me up. Thank you again for all of these lovely reviews!
How thoughtful of Hagrid to give them such a precious keepsake. I just love Hagrid he's the best.Wow, Hermione defending her husband, I love it.She loves him, how perfectly wonderful.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
She loves him, and she isn't afraid to say so. Well, at least, to Ron, she isn't afraid to say so!
" His" OMG how perfect. To beautiful for words
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you.~happy sigh~
Oh, Professor Snape he is in deep and I'm not even sure he knows it. I imagine he will fight it for a while, that seems his style. Hermione showed them all, is there anything she can't do?This chapter broke my heart , how could Dumbledore and Poppy think that Professor Snape would do dark magic on Hermione. Shame on both of them for thinking such a terrible thing.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I feel the same way about what they did. On the other hand, I do believe that her quick change from student to wife who clearly is intensely loyal to her husband had to have scared them. I don't think they could have predicted it. But still.
What a wonderful honeymoon for two people who are just starting to fall in love. They have to play catch up, as they had no courtship. Truly delightful chapter
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! Yes, they desperately needed a break!
Poor Hermione she has has a hell of a week. It doesn't seem like she is ever going to get a break. "laughed himself to back to sleep" I hope not in those gross sheets. Still a funny line.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
He's had a hard week, too. He needed the laugh, and I hope he managed to avoid the gross part of the sheets!
Professor Snape is being so kind to Hermione, I always knew he has it in him.What is with Voldemort's timing, it really sucks. Why can't Harry just kill him already.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! Wow, that is true so much of the time--why can't Harry just kill him already? Thank you for making me laugh!
It's good to know he can be very gentle when he wants to be. Bless his heart.The work so well together I hope they have the chance to work together more in the future. Perhaps they can find some common interest. I just have to say I love, love, love this chapter. well done.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I love, love, love this chapter, too. It really has been one of my very favorites ever since I wrote it. Thank you so very much.
"I would do anything—anything at all. I would take Polyjuice Potion. I would take Heart's Desire. I would do anything, be anything to please you." That line was so heartbreakingly beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. This is such a wonderful chapter. They could be truly perfect together if given a chance.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you again for liking that line. She really is trying to make up for the mistakes she feels she has made. Hermione isn't used to being wrong. She's always the smartest, the one who keeps Harry and Ron out of trouble (when they listen to her) and for her to do something that turned out so wrong is tearing her apart.
Things started out pretty good but as usual he couldn't just keep his mouth shut. Now he's gone and hurt her feelings. It's one step forward two steps back with these two. Great chapter.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I'm glad you liked this chapter. More is explained in the next!
It looks to me like Severus is jealous. I hope he can hold on the that jealous temper, if not some unsuspecting male wizard could get hexed all to pieces.Hermione handled her friends fairly well, they seem to need a firm hand. Hermione marking Professor Snape's essays that was perfect.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I had fun letting her grade those essays, especially since it would annoy him so much! Thank you!
It was very sexy the way severus watched Hermione sleep, and the way he brushed the hair way from her face was super hot.Hermione making "Ways to Make Professor Snape's Life Easier" list was perfect. How like Hermione to handle marriage so methodically. It was a wonderful touch to this chapter.Draco is such a sneaky creep I hope Severus keeps a close eye on him. Sorry if I offended any Draco fans.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Well, I'm not a Draco fan, LOL! At least in canon he was a real jerk. I do think Hermione would be very methodical--she seems to be for everything!
It is starting to look like everyone has turned against Hermione. I feel bad for her. It was touching when Severus pulled her back from that horrid bed and was quite shaken by it. He must care for her in some way to have that kind of reaction.I love when they woke up with the cat licking their fingers that was cute.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, he really was shaken when he saw what the bed would have done to her. He feels more than he realizes.
Hermione is just full of surprises. After watching her parents in action it's no wonder she told everyone they were dentist. Hermione's mother seems like a real nightmare. It came as no surprise that Lady Granger found Severus attractive, doesn't every woman?
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
LOL! I actually like her mother, but I do think Hermione would want their social status to be kept quiet! Thanks!
I love this chapter, because they are discovering what its like to deal with each other as a married couple.I did feel rather bad for Ron Weasley. I'll bet he never saw this coming. Poor guy.I like the way Severus took her to the Slytherin common room for his start of term speech. It seems like he is trying to include her in his life.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much. It's a very difficult transition for both of them, and neither had an opportunity to adjust or plan for it, before it happened.
Good to see Severus back to his old snarky sexy self. Lucky for Hermione life wiith him will never be boring. It's good to see she will be taking his name, it suits her. That kiss was very passionate. I think he enjoyed it more than he wants to admit, even to himself.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, and we know how deliberate and important that choice was, to take his name. It wasn't automatic. It meant something.Thank you!
Wonderfully intense chapter. Lucius's attack was brutal, but Severus handled it with dignity.Hermione cared for an injured Severus with all her intelligence and Gryffindor courage. I can't wait to see how she handles Severus on a daily basis.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you so much! I think Severus simply knew he had the upper hand, and saw that Lucius, by being out of control, made himself look weak.
