A Different Kind of Love Story

Deathly Hallows Prompts 6 and 8.
6. The kids leave after Snape dies. He sits up and realizes he is a ghost. (I changed this to a portrait instead of a ghost.)
8. As Hermione, Ron, and Harry watch Snape die, Hermione is devastated because she has been secretly in love with him. (The prompt calls for Hermione to use a Time-Turner to go back and rescue Severus, but I wanted to comply with the book and see if I could write a story where Hermione develops a strong, loving friendship with the Severus Snape she meets as a portrait many years later.)
Time: After the Epilogue. Place: Hogwarts. Hermione is teaching at Hogwarts and is Deputy Headmistress to Minerva McGonagall. Her children, Rose and Hugo, live at Hogwarts with her; her husband Ron manages the All-England Quidditch League. When Minerva McGonagall dies, Hermione is appointed Headmistress and moves in to the Head’s office.

Oh my gosh, how sweet and so sad at the same time. *wipes tear* they finally confess thier love and can't really do anything about it. *sigh*
wonderful ending and exactly how i hoped. thanks so much for this story that so touched me.

Thank you so much:)-HBV
I very much enjoyed this story. For me, it started off rather slowly, picked up quite nicely and became focused, and ended touchingly. I also really enjoyed seeing a relaxed Draco.
Response from fizzabella (Author of A Different Kind of Love Story)
Thank you so much:) I think I will try writing a story about Draco, since there was every danger of this story becoming a story about him, at a couple of points:)Charming scamp tried and nearly succeeded in stealing it:)-HBV
Response from color (Reviewer)
Yes, he almost did! Draco cracked me up!
Oh how sad to wait 95 years to be with the one that you love - tears. I so wished they could have found a way to be together earlier but it was a good story.
A very good ending to this story. I have to admit you did an excellent job with a very difficult challenge.
Response from fizzabella (Author of A Different Kind of Love Story)
Thank you very much:) It was a challenge, because I so wish they could be together in the REAL Potter-verse, and it would be INFINITELY easier to write a story about a living Severus:) But I enjoyed the story as I was writing it, and bits of it wrote themselves:)thanks again,-HBV
Oh, I love your style of writing. It's very amusing, and the relationship between Draco and Hermione reads great. :-)
I just love this picture- the old worn body slipping down as the young spirit moves on. Just beautiful!
That is a hellva of an epilogue 95 years later! I am glad Hermione lived a long time. I hope she was happy. The portrait kiss was touching. Thank you mystery author!

I cannot wait till the reveal I need to know who you are!!!!!!
Lovely all round, good to see she became young again!
That was wonderful!
That was wonderful!
Lovely. Do you think that Hermione would be visible in Severus's portrait to others from then on?
Response from fizzabella (Author of A Different Kind of Love Story)
I couldn't find a way to write it into the story, but the foundation idea in my mind is that at some point-probably shortly after her appointment to Headmistress-Hermione would have sat for her official portrait. Maybe it could be painted when she was appointed, and then the charms cast when she died, to allow the portrait to "wake up" and then it would be like any other-she could move from portrait to portrait and do whatever the other charmed portraits could do. Does that make sense?Thank you for your compliment:) I am so glad you enjoyed the story:)-HBV
Wow. Such a beautiful ending. I am so glad they finally got to be together, even if it was 95 years and in the after life.
That was a great story!!!!

Response from fizzabella (Author of A Different Kind of Love Story)
Wheeee!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you:)The last chapter almost wrote itself:) I am so pleased and honored that you enjoyed it:)-HBV
Is it done? Is this it? I am happy they confessed their feeling to eachother and at the same time I feel such sorrow for Hermione. ((sniffle))

Still a brief epilogue to post:) It's been sent in and I am waiting to make whatever corrections are necessary:) Won't be long, I think our moderators are really working hard to get through the queue of challenge stories before the voting ends. They spoil us like that:)-HBV
I still think it is very sad to be in love with some one you can never be with, even though that love is reciprocated. At least they do have each other's company.
Great chapter - there admission of love was heart wrenching because of the circumstance but a great conversation none the less.
Great chapter - in love but cannot be - how tragic. I hope something changes for them.
Poor Hermione and Severus - Her alive and him as a portrait when it all shows that in life they could have been happy together - so sad for them.
I loved it that Severus went by portrait to Draco's and Draco got Hermione a great attorney. The interactions with Lucius portrait were good as well.
Great way to announce her new position -Ron's actions are not looking very good. Something is definitely going on.
The interaction with the girls - gosh I got all teary eyed... that was good writing.
