This is a story inspired by the Tim McGraw song, "If You're Reading This." This is NOT a songfic. What happens when Hermione's dreams don't exactly turn out the way she had planned? Will she be able to deal with the hand that life dealt her?

I've been posting on here for a while and have decided to update my profile. I'm 30ish... I have a husband... I have two daughters... and other various creatures living at my house. My real life consists of work, fanfiction (which sometimes supercedes work), and chasing after my teen and tween.

Reviews for Saving Grace
Oh, that made me cry. Although I would have loved to see the parts inbetween.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
This is a short fic. I might write a companion fic to show when Severus was first courting Hermione. However, I've got 2 others in the works right now. I even have a comedy -- can you imagine?
I resist the whole idea. If Snape couldn't get redemption, why should Ron Weasley? It does't bear thinking about.Nice writing, though.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Uhhh... Thanks?
Nothing wrong with a bit of fluff now and then! That was quite lovely.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Ahh! Thank you.
Awesome job. I probably should have heeded your fluff warning after reading the first chapter. Might I sugest that you also add to the warning a recommendation that the reader get tissues BEFORE starting the next chapter? The story was so good I didn't want to leave the computer for a second. Thanks!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Oh my goodness! I would say I'm sorry, but I'd be lying. I'm actually glad that my story is having this affect on people. If you look up Tim McGraw's song If You're Reading This, you will see my inspiration. I cried my eyes out the first time I heard it. I think for now on, I'll add a Mascara Alert. That do?
It might be fluffy, but I couldn't read this chapter without a kerchief either. It doesn't mean that I didn't like it, quite the contrary.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
That means a lot to me. I was happy to see an update to your story: Geneamorology as well. I'm off to read it now.
Response from septentrion (Reviewer)
You're more than welcome.
That was really well done. I actually felt bad for this Ron - a nice, loyal, mature young man (the kind we'll never really know whether he managed to turn into or not in the canon universe).
I like Ron giving Severus a reason to get in touch with Hermione, and to keep in touch with her. It's a good starting point for a friendship and other things to evolve!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Yes, Ron just basically handed her over on a silver platter. The the next episode is in queue. I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for posting.
As sad as it was, it was beautiful!!! I hope you will have Severus leave the messages from Ron to those left behind in the way Ron asked him to. I love Severus/ Hermione pairings, have never liked Hermione/Ron pairings, but I can like this Ron (probably because he is dying and acting like a grown-up at the same time, I am evil I know:-))Update again soon!!!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Your feelings on Ron are shared by quite a few people. I thank you for the review. Chapter one is in queue so it shouldn't take too long.
I feel sad for Ron, and the drama's that going to ensue.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Thank you so much for the post. And as the far as the drama goes... there is more. Yahoo!!!
So well done! I actually cried about Ron's death, that's never happened. I very much look forward to reading more of this.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
You just wait until Chapter 1. It's with my beta now, and she's pretty quick. I cried when I wrote that one.
Oh, my. Severus isn't the only one with tears. That was so sad. But beautiful.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Hey there! I'm happy to see your post here. Thanks for that. This story won't be very long. Just something I had to get out of my head.
I loved this chapter. So very sweet!

*wipes tears away* This was SO SAD! I really liked this beginning and I'm going on to the next chapter right now.

Yah... another great chapter. It's coming to an end, isn't it?
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Thank you so much!! Yes... I'm working on the epilogue now. It will be rather long, though.
I just love this story sooooo much.My favorite line of this fic so far is the last one in this chapter.CLASSIC!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Hehe!! Thanks! This story was supposed to only be about 5 chapters, but the characters took had other plans for me. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Wow , you have me sobbing like a big baby after reading this chapter. HOly moly. Loved this chapter.Can't wait to read the next one!
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
I wish I could say that I'm sorry, but I can't stop grinning.
what a story! what an author!! can we please have some more?? ( stories that is, as this one has wrapped up beautifully) *standing ovation for the brilliant author*
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
Thank you so much. I appreciate you for reviewing all the chapters and not waiting until the end. It's the highest praise an author can get. You also forced me to go back and re-read some of my chapters, which was very enlightening. I had to make a couple of changes (spelling and punctuation). Thanks for that!! I hope to have the epilogue out very soon.
brilliant chapter again , so heart rending to see Severus brought to his knees in despair over his little girl.
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
That was probably the hardest chapter I've ever written. Sometimes, when people are scared and/or feel helpless, they tend to express themselves with anger and blame.I think Sev would be one of these people.
This would just about have to be Severus' worst nightmare, his daughter injured and in Neville's hands! One question though, how did Neville survive surgical residency, I've only been there as a medical student and from my distant memory some of those surgeons can make Severus look like a pussycat! ( one good reason for not practising hospital medicine !)
Response from potterbrat (Author of Saving Grace)
HELLO!!?? He's a wizard!! And, he survived a war!! Hehe!
