Teenage Severus Snape and Lily find a room in the castle with a partially hidden staircase that leads them up to a private room at the top of a tower that even the Marauders don't know about.
Then twenty years later, Hermione Granger finds the room. Suddenly she’s confronted by Severus Snape, who’s always considered tower room to be his own private little nook, finds herself not only under the rooms spell, but must now meet the conditions of the room with the one professor that has always been her biggest enigma.

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 Enchanted Tower Room
I wonder how Severus is going to explain the extra points in the staff room.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
lol, er, um, huh. 
Probably won't. But then points earmed are magically recorded, hopefully it won't say why.Thank you for reading and for the review.
The differences between lily and Hermione andmore and more obvious, Lily did not need any potion to get her to keep Severus at arms length.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
No she didn't. But she didn't like his leaning toward his Slytherin housemates and their influences on Severus. Soo... But we already knew where that pairing was headed. Thank you for reading and for the review.
The difference between Lily and Hermione is getting more and more obvious, Lily only seema to want Severus in the tower room,whereas Hermione wants him outside of the room as well.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
That is the sad part of writing this, I knew what happened to the Lily/Sev relationship and to show it's decline. Thank you for reading and for the review.

So others have been snared by the room, I hope we will hear more about them in the coming chapters.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Yep, it's been there for a long time... Thank you for reading and for the review.
Hermione is not going to listen to him is she, at least I hope not. 
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
It's not a matter of will she, but there are magical forces involved (oops, you'd realized that already, hadn't you?) She'd have to excersize all her will power agaist the enchanted tower room. Thank you for reading and for the review.
I'm wondering, if it is just the magic of the room bringing Hermione back, or is it Severus himself.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Oh I can't answer that for you now. But beleve me, you, Hermione and Severus will figure it out ... when..?Thank you for reading and for the review.
A lovely start, I love the two time lines.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you. It was fun to write, I'm honored that you are reading it. I hope you enjoy the rest of it. Thank you for the review.
This is my second time reading this, it get better each time. Thank you.

Ohh I'm in love with this story. I'm normally completely against any story with Lilly in it I'm not a big fan of her but this was unique. I loved the flashbacks and the idea of this tower. I loved the little twist at the end with Severus being in the tower when Hermione was a first year. Such a good read!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
I'm dleighted that you gave my story a read, and really appreciate your candor. Thank you so much for the review, and I can't tell you how happy I am that you enjoyed this one. :)
That was a delightful way to end your story, although I confess I was expecting to read more about Snape's angst after Lily's death. Then, the modern Severus sounded a bit out of character, but it's understandable he might change after the war. At least for Hermione's sake...
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
I could have dragged on another chapter and taken that route, but we already know the angst he felft over Lily. As for Severus, he had everything he didn't even allow himself to dare hope for: love, family, home, child, respect... He let go of the past and was living. That, imho, would have mellowed him. Thank you for reading and for the lovely review.
This ended so well! I'd love to mention all of the things that I liked since I last reviewed, but really it was all so good. I thought that the two stories worked well all the way to the end. And I still think the artwork really added a nice touch. I was a bit afraid that their long time apart might have changed things between them, even though they had still thought of each other often throughout. But that didn't seem to be the case. I really like the magic involved, and the slowly unraveling mystery of it all. I was also pleased that they found a way to break the spell. There will be no more tragedy caused by that room, and the very last couple that was affected lived happily ever after... or so I choose to think. The explanation as to why she was able to go through in her first year was great, but it is a good thing that she didn't find her way up there at that time.Very, very enjoyable story. Now that this is done and you have more free time, I will be looking forward to more chapters from you on your other WIP's. What?! A little friendly harrassment never hurts ;) I can't help it if I really enjoy your stories!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you so much for the reviews and the supportive compliments. I'm really flattered that you liked this story so much. I'd never do that and click 'Romance' only to mislead you! Have some faith. Besides, thier love was deeper than either knew at the time--it survived nearly two years apart! Well, a year, followed by a reuniting on the battle field, only to be seperate for another year... But yes, they are happy now.I'm glad that you liked all the magic involved. The allure of the stairs didn't even affect Hermione until she turned 17. I mean, yes she could get through, but Rowena's protection on the barrier was able to stop her until then. I promise, I'm dilligently working on one of my WIP's. Which one would you like to see updated next? Don't mind the friendly poke, it gets me motivated! Hugs~
Response from HBAR (Reviewer)
Well, that is a tough choice... If I have to pick one, I think I'd like to see Consequences of Meddling with Time. But honestly, whatever you are inspired to work on at the moment is great. I know that when I am in the middle of a ton of stories, I sometimes forget exactly what went on ten chapters ago, or little nuances in certain characters, and have to get my bearings (usually by backing up a few chapters and reading the highlights). I have no idea how you can be in the middle or writing several and keep them straight! I'm in awe...
This is a wonderful piece of work. What a joy it has been to read it all. Congratulations on its completion, Maria

Thank you, Jeannie. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for reading and for the reviews. Hugs~
Frustrating, I can hardely wait to get to the next one, this is a wonderful story and I'm so glad is finsihed now.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
I'm sorry it is frustrating, but it's worth the wait for what comes next. I'm so glad that you are enjoying this one. Hugs~
Gads the suspense is terrible and I don't kow why they arent even writing or whatever
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Hermione doesn't know where he is and Severus needs to sort things out frist. You'll see, she'll demand an answer if/when they see each other again. Thank you so much for the review.
I really liked your version of the Last Battle, SEVERUS lives :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you. I hated how JKR worte hers, and I just knew that he couldn't have died from a simple snake bite. Arthur survived Nagini and she bit him several times! Thank you very much for the review.
Very much enjoyed the chapter like the differencs very much
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you very much. Hugs~
Oh, I loved this chapter! I had tears in my eyes when they finally confessed to loving each other. Very sweet and rewarding scene. I love this story! I just can't stop reading it. :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you very much. That is quite a compliment, but I'm sorry to make you cry. I'm very flattered that you are enjoying this one so much. makes my day! Thank you so much for reading and for the review.
Back traced a bit to remember where I left off I can't tell, any way I'm really enjoying the story again.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
I'm so glad you are. Happy reading, doll. Thank you for the review.
Awesome can't wait for more.
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Thank you.
Well, I am at another stopping point so will weigh in at this time. This continues to be fantastic. I really like the artwork. It is very nicely done, and is so telling as to what the current tone of the relationship is in each timeline. I actually feel bad for Severus and Hermione as I think that they count on being able to find answers to any problem in a book, and they are simply making no progress. I still really like the two different timelines and their repective similarities and differences. I'm quite interested to find out more about this curse and how they will beat it, or succumb to it, or whatever is planned for them. WIP's are fun, but I am certainly glad that I won't have to wait for this to finish!
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
LOL I'm so glad that you're enjoying this so far. Thank you so much for the lovely compliments. Yes, like Hermione always does, she searches her answers in books, but then so did young Severus. lol The two time lines are fun, writing them was like writing two stories at the same time with the same titles, only we already know where the one is headed and know the outcome. (I won't say whitch one. teehehe) The similarities play a huge part in Professor Snape's actions, but the differences are important. Thank you so much for reading this and for your supportive review. I really appreciate it. Good night, doll.
Hmmm... I really don't know how this story came and went without me reading it. I think I just had too many WIP's going on to really add another. But it no longer fits in that category, so I guess I can dig right in. Couldn't stop until now to review, that would take away precious reading time! But it is now too late for me to go on, so I will stop and leave my thanks for such a fun, interesting story.I'm really loving this, especially how it goes back and forth between the two times which seem to parallel each other quite eerily. I don't know how I feel about the state of things. I don't have a problem with a teacher/student relationship in fiction, but you get the feeling that he is manipulating her and knows exactly what he is doing, even though he has no business doing it. That sort of bothers me, but at the same time, she is not protesting, and he is not treating her badly. And I truely believe that he meant it when he told her to say the word and he would stop. I get the impression that there is some magic at work here that is bigger than them just enjoying themselves each morning. Now that I think about it, I guess what really nags at me, is the feeling like there is magic involved that makes her desire his company, and his touch, even though she might not feel that way in another situation. That is ok, but if he knows that is how the room works, and is allowing her to come there when she is ignorant to the rooms effect, well, I guess that is the crux of what is creeping me out a bit.Sorry, I am working out my thoughts on screen rather than in my head. And in doing so, I am expressing concern over things that are mostly speculation on my part (see, that is why it is supposed to stay in my head). And in working through my thoughts, I imagine this review might be starting to sound negative. Fear not. This has me terribly intrigued, and I have enjoyed every moment so far. If they continue on like this much longer, she will definitely not be able to tell anyone, or he will have taken so many points that Gryffindor will still be in a deficit when her kids are in school :) Looking forward to finding time to continue!

Hello! I’m so flattered that you’ve decided to give this story a go. It’s perfectly fine that you wanted to wait till it was complete to start it.
Yes, there is a lot of parallel (on purpose) between the relationship between Severus and Lily and Professor Snape and Hermione, as well as showing how Severus’ life unfolded. I hope you like it. Writing the bouncing was so much fun because it was like writing two stories at the same time, the prompt just lent to it so well.
To ease your mind—and not give away anything—the spells will be clarified in detail as you get further into the story, but yes, there is some magic that compels her to go up to the room, and the door won’t open unless certain conditions are met. That said, Severus Snape, imho, is an honorable man, with a shady past, but not a molester. He does know what he’s doing, as any mature man would with an inexperienced female, however, rest assured, I’m not a rape or sexual violence writer. (Victim of, worked on a Rape-hotline support group, and called the cops on the husband of a friend who had too many of the fist and finger type bruises…) Please, keep reading, the magic is there, but very carefully selected.
I have no problem with you typing your thoughts. Actually, I’m enjoying what you think. I want to say more, ease you, but I don’t want to give anything away.
Oh, good guesses!!! But really, like she is the type to blab about her ‘conquests?’ not. Lol
If after you get farther and still have the concerns over the magic, email me and I’ll explain. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my little talke. Oh, I drew the all the art as well!
Wow that WAS A LOT OF HARD WORK, CONGRATULATIONS it was brilliant. :)
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
LOL well, it was worth it - and now everyone is freeee! Thank you so mcu for the compliment and for the review.
Wow, he tells her never to come back. But knows she will and tell her what to wear? Go, Severus! This is a spicy story...
Response from beaweasley2 (Author of The Enchanted Tower Room)
Yes, he knows. He doesn't want to push her but in the same time he does. It's complicated. Yes, it's spicy - and gets more... Hope you enjoy - thank you for the review, doll. Happy reading.
This sounds like a promising story, bea! I look forward to more. :)
