I am a grateful fan of Ms. Rowling and of her overwhelming Byronic Character, Severus Snape! Please check out the first chapters of each fic (except for "How Can I Tell You," which is on Chapter 2) to see pictures of the Heroines.
Admins' Note: Livvy6 died suddenly on February 22, 2012, leaving behind her husband, six-year-old daughter, and seventeen stories well-loved by the TPP community. All who knew her—including those in Harry Potter fandom and all of us, here—are richer for having known her.
Requiescat in pace, Livvy. Always.
Reviews for Hurt
Severus certainly is tormented! I am looking forward to seeing where you will take this as the story draws on. Nice work!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks! This was certaintly a very angst-filled chapter, I can't say there won't be anymore, but Severus will begin to acknowledging things and face facts instead of being afraid and tormented all the time.Livvy
Tsk tsk Lucius. good thing he's so nosey. Maybe he was able to talk some sense into Sev?
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I am really excited about how people are going to see how Lucius develops in this fic. He is normally portrayed as a vicious psychopath. I had a lot of fun working with him. Lucius will continue to talk to Severus about Hermione.Livvy
Awe, Seve had best start to get a grip on reality! He's losing it.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Yeah, he's got a lot to deal with and process.Livvy
If Hermione knew how Snape had watched her!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
She probably would have been like, What the hell? She is oblivious, but won't be for long.Livvy
Poor Claudia! What a dreadful life. The dialog amongst the Slytherin males seemed to be very authentic, from what I have heard from real life men. Ugh. Again, I say, poor Claudia! Looking forward to more.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Yes, Claudia has been born into a world that expects much of her and she's far too naive to combat it.Livvy
nice portrayal of pure blood politics and traditions
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks! I hope you continue to like the story. Next chapter is in the queue.Livvy
This past will come back to haunt him hmm ?
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
It will indeed. Sadly, it will.Livvy
Wow! I really like this so far! The plot thickens, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks a lot! The next chapter is in the queue!Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
I like Claudia, but I also pity her. I have the feeling her life won't be a happy one and will be short.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I wish I could say your intuition is wrong, but she will have some time of happy ignorance, believing in promises said that won't come true and were only lies.Thanks for reviewing,Livvy
I love the chapter even though I don't understand how it all ties togeather yet.I love how you word things,it makes you fell like your in the room with Severus(and who wouldn't like that!)
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Great! That's what I was striving for: the unknown of how this all ties together. Because these three women are linked in Severus' mind. A lot of angst ahead! Livvy
I don't know if I've said before, but your writing gets better and better, Livvy. Enjoying this very much!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thank you very much. I enjoy your writing as well! I appreciate your reviews, they are always so encouraging!Livvy
Response from emmeline33 (Reviewer)
Likewise, Livvy! I have been very grateful for your thoughtful reviews. I will definitely follow this story attentively.
Claudia sounds so sweet and bears such a resemblance to Hermione. The picture is really pretty. 
I'm glad that Severus's prefect watches his back, but couldn't she be a bit more obvious? 
Poor Severus, thinking he's totally on his own. I loved the Potions tutorial - he was so spot on perfect. He really made Claudia think, reationalize and push herself. 
I'd have hugged him too if he'd helped me raise my grade! git
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I'm glad you immediately picked up the resemblance to Hermione. It will come back to haunt him in the future. As for Kathy, the prefect, she is convinced that Snape would hex her into next year if he knew she was helping him. But perhaps he does know, he acknowledged her presence and thanked her"for staying out of it", perhaps maybe staying out of it in a way that she helps, but doesn't let on so he can save face in front of the Mauraders?Thanks, there is the budding future Potions master in there. He is annoyed with people who are not like Lily, who was a natural at Potions. Unfortunately, he will do a lot of comparing Claudia to Lily. Too bad, he's so repressed.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Good start, I'm looking forward to what will happen next chapter.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I JUST sent you a review for Semper FI, which is an AWESOME title, BTW. That is so weird, when that happens!Thank you so much for reviewing. This story is very dear to me, more than all the others. I put a lot of work into it. I do hope it is received well.Thanks,Livvy
omg never have I hated severus snape more than after this chapter- I am livid- that poor girl !! RIP Claudia
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Good. I wanted that last portion of the chapter to stick in the reader's mind. Don't worry, Snape will suffer and will be tormented by what he did to Claudia.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
omg I looove it u have captured pureblood life and etiquette so amazingly 
characterisation is excellent too and I think claudia is the cutest thing ever especially in the early chapters when she asks snape for help with potions onto chapter 3 !!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked how I molded my idea of the pure-blood world.Thanks for reviewing!Livvy
Beautiful.. absolutely beautiful. Claudia was amazing! What an awesome O/C... and what an amazing plot you have here! Thank you so much for writing!!!
Wow! What a wonderful story! Sometimes, I hated Severus very much. Thanks for Hurt the story, for Hurt, the song and for remenbering me the quotation, "The woods are mysterious, lovely, dark and deep....but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I can sleep...." that I had heard long time ago in a old movie.

I always thought that Robert Frost poem pretty much summed up Severus Snape's life. I'm glad you liked it!Livvy

Ok at some point I cried for Severus and Claudia....ugh..I am crying. lol
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I hope it's not bad tears. Hope you liked the ending.Thanks!

I hope it's not bad tears. Hope you liked the ending.Thanks!
I have no fitting words.
This was very nearly perfectly brilliant.
I am impressed.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thank you! I am so happy you have enjoyed it! Thanks for reviewing, Livvy
Wow, You can really make Severus come alive. He is so canon and yet you've really gotten into his mind. Beautifully done. I'd givbe you a 10
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks! I appreciate that! I hope you continue to like where I take him.Livvy
ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
That was exactly the reaction I was hoping for when I ended this chapter. I hope you like how I wrap up Claudia's story in Chapter Five. Severus will suffer terribly for his callousness and cavalier attitude towards Claudia.Livvy
Wow, you apit a sureal pureblood social etiquette. No wonder, given Severus' personality he'd learn the rules and moreys so quickly! I really feel sorry for Claudia. Severus isn't spending any time letting her get to know him at all!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Because she is so young, it wouldn't be proper, besides, the more distance from him the less problems there will be from Claudia about Severus' love for Lily. She's basically being sold as a brood mare for the pure-blood cause. Very sad.Livvy
What a tangled turn of events. So much for wooing his witch and winning her over. Poor Claudia
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Yes, Severus is definately being sucked into all the glamor and glitz of the pure-blood" world. What is so ironic is that Claudia, having been born into that world, wants nothing more than to be loved.Livvy
the burden snape is carrying in this fic (even though created by his own actions) is truly mind boggling....... i hope u show some relief for him at the end!!!!!! but u sure are ignoring ron!!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
I don't care much for Ron, but he will make a small appearance. I shall - eventually- give the man some relief.Livvy
I see no difference.Very creative take on that line! I am enjoying this story more and more. I've said it before, I think, but I'll say again that I find the psychology of this story quite to my liking.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Hurt)
Thanks! I'm glad you like how much I enjoy deconstructing the wizard. He is so very complex, Rowling gave us a lot to work with!Livvy
