The Self-Writing Parchment

Hermione finds a mysterious piece of self-writing parchment in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes that writes: Tell me your deepest desire. Thinking it’s a trick, she says, “I wish to see my soul mate?” and she suddenly finds herself at Severus’ feet.

I love to write. A dreamer, a creator and filled with wonder, imagination and life. Sometimes I get lost in the other worlds I've read and in some I create. It's all good, I’m in good company.

Reviews for The Self-Writing Parchment
Transitional, yes, but not boring. I've been expecting an update for days, and I'm so grateful to have read it.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. I was worried that this chapter would bore readers to tears! Up next – Hermione’s face to face with Voldemort again, without the aid of Snape’s Imperius Curse. 
Coming soon… as soon as all my commas are checked!
whooo that was a bit steamy! just give me the chance to wash him...please! just once! thanks so much for this futherence of the story. i await more with baited breath!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I’ll be happy to grant your request…! In the mean time – I’ll keep typing! I may even consider giving you another shower scene?
Love this Chapter finnaly something is happining due to that bloody partchment!Excellent Chapter!... wait i already said that o-well it was just that good! =D
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. Oh, that parchment is actually been doing it!
Response from sailorscout_k (Reviewer)
how interesting... i've got alot to ponder now...
i've been waiting for updates at ashwinder and finally thought to come over here and check and found all these new chapters! yippeee! so here i am staying up too late on a work night to catch up. honestly, this story is rather agonizing, but i don't mean that in a bad way. i am completely caught up in the drama, and trauma, and DYING to know what happens next, and worried for all these characters (even draco - but not the RAT of course!). you are writing a very compelling story here!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I’m sorry that SH is taking longer to post my chapters, but TPP had a head start as it was a Potter_Place Challenge fic and I had several chapters in here before I started there. 
I’m very glad that you are enjoying this story, even if it’s keeping you up late. 
But I have to say I appreciate the compliment!
I have few more chapters written and I'm working with my beta, Southern_Witch_69, who’s been so great, so I will update as soon as I can. And I do have more of the story in draft and outlined… But I really do appreciate the support. 
I really don't understand Draco. How would Hermione really know how she was rescued. The poor thing.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
There is only six years of animosity between Hermione and Draco, (pretty much since day one), all the pureblood mantra he was brought up with, and now they’re living together – sort of. They both have to break down the barriers and try if there is to be a friendship. That won’t happen overnight. I’ll get them around it eventually…
very good, congrats on your story placement, but I think you should have won.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
LOL. Wow, thank you. Still, third is not too shabby.
But thank you for the vote of confidence!
Great story keep it up!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Okay, sure...

Response from Arabella Bloodgood (Reviewer)
I'm sorry I don't put more words in my review, but I can't spell that well and don't want to make myself look too bad. It really is a great story.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
No problem! For someone to tell me that they think my story is 'great' is quite a compliment! I think I accidenlty hit the submit button before hitting the preview one... Sorry about that.
excellent updates and thanks for the latin translation, too. i'm really caught up in this story. thanks for updating.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. I didn’t think it fair to use Latin and not have the translations. So I do that on all my stories.I’m pleased that you are enjoying my story.
Another interesting chapter. I enjoyed geting some of Snape's thoughts. Though not super enlightening, they did provide some insight. I can't wait for more!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you... that was my intent - just a little insight.Next chapter will come soon. I promice.
Loving this story. Can't wait to see what has got Dracos wand in a knot - I suspect he has feelings for Hermione, well maybe he's just lusting after her too.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Time will only tell. I dunno if he can ever get past his prejudices though... They've been ingrained since birth...
Very clever the way he's managing to teach them both while having it be supposedly for Draco! I'm glad you're continuing with this and look forward to more!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Well I've always thought Severus as the sly type who is able to manipualtet things and people to get what needs done acomplished. And he knows Draco soo well.Don't worry about my dropping this - I've written several more chapters and just going through the process. Next chap is with my beta now.
Poor Severus. He really can't believe some one would like him for himself!I can't wait to find out what is up with Draco.Please don't give up on this story. I really, really love it!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Well, yeah! He's used to being with people who use him, try to control him and he's used to manipulating people and sistations. This is one situation he's struggling to control...Draco and Hermione have a lot of 'dirty water under the bridge' - so to speak. But basically I never thought him a bad guy, just raised with too many prejudices. Nah, thanks to Southern_Witch's encouragement I'm carrying on and really enjoying writting this fic... There's much more.
Loving this!!!
I'm so glad you didn't 'chuck it in the rubbish bin'. ^_^
Interesting that he has some of her favorite muggle authors on the bookshelves in his room.
I like Peren, and how she'd begining to favor Hermione.
Hope to see more soon.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. I glad you are enjoying this. The books are just one more small hint that Severus and Hermione have sooo much in common.I actually adore house-elves and would love to have one for my very own, although I'd probably spoil mine! More is on the way....
Well its still too much like the ohter story. I'm sorry but I just cant read anymore. I hope you have ohter hermione and snape stories to read and thanks
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I respect your opinion.
I love the premise and as the story got to the bottom, I thought I'd seen some of it before and then I read your authors note. I hope this won't be too much likie Traitor by avery. I really loathed it and that horrid snape characterization. I will look a little further and hope not to be disappointed
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Please have patience and read up to Chapter 4 before you judge... I admit that Traitor influenced me greatly and there are a few things that really carried and fit when I first imagined this story... Look for the hints, the subtle changes in the interactons. It will not happen over night - but this is a romance (SS/HG) and friendship (DM/HG) story - but these three have a lot of history behind them that has to be overcome and worked out.
There were some typos and things that I should have noted down through the past few chapters and couldn't in the rush to read as much of this as possible. You have a riveting story; I can't wait to see what you post next.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh no! Typos! You can always email me and let me know! I really don't mind... Oooh, now I have to dig my typo pop-gun and go typo hunting.... That could delay my next chapter.... See you in a bit...
Response from enchanter (Reviewer)
You know, I went hunting (v.briefly) this morning and couldn't find them. I may have had your story and another mixed up, I'm not sure. I wouldn't confuse the plots, although both are very good, but I read them back to back and by the end I'd already been up waaaaay past my bed time. I will take another run through when I've had more sleep and email you if I find what I thought I'd found. My sincerest apologies about this. If it's any consolation, it was worth staying up for.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Ahhh good. I can go back to typing now...
I absolutely love this fic!Your writing really is fantastic.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh, my gosh! Thank you. That's sweet of you to write.
Love this fic!
Like the bits of caring that sneak past Snape's DE persona, and that Hermione realized she's jealous of Draco's apprenticeship regardless of her treatment. 
Wonders if Narcissa thinks she has a reason to dislike Hermione besides the blood issue... it seemed like there was more to her anger than just that. 
Looking forward to the next chap!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Wow - thank you!There will be loads more while these two muddle through the mess they are in...Narcissa - don't want to spoil anything - yes and yes... but also Severus too...
I love bathsheets. Now do you mean California or Canada? Good chapter by the way.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I hail from LA-LAland in CAlifornia.... And Oh yes! bathsheets are awesome!Thank you for the review...
Response from blue artemis (Reviewer)
Ah. Me too.
What a great surprise, to find the next chapter ready. I am fascinated by this story and eagerly await each update!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. My beta has the next chapter already... So I'll hopefully post again soon.
Response from mia madwyn (Reviewer)
Bliss!
Very intriguing take on the prompt! Looking forward to more.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thank you. There is more to come - I promise.
Wow, that chapter was chock full o'...well, not really goodness, but it was sure chock full o' something! Wonderful writing. I can hardly stand the state of suspense that that last chapter has left me in!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Thanks... I appreciate the compliment. I'll post the next chapter as so as I can.
Wow - that was an intense chapter! I'm sad the chapter is over, though I know it'll just get better from here!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
And to think I toned it down some during my rewrites!This is a low before things go up, although it isn't smooth sailing yet. We are talking about a SS/HG romance...
I'm curious to see how the rest of this plays out. I do hope there are some ss/hg scenes coming up soon. Good so far:)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
I don't plan on disappointing you. There will be Plenty!
I'm assuming Hermione's having a miscariage which would be just as well in this case. Wondering what the deal is with Draco and although I like to think better of him (I know it's a stretch at times) I can't help but wonder if his actually allowed Wormtail access to her - horrid thought. Hopefully Wormtail feels Snape's wrath.Looking forward to the next.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Self-Writing Parchment)
Oh, um - yeah. Answers to come in next chapter. I'm just waiting on having it checked before posting... but I have it!
