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 Love Remains
Severus is being an idiot. Ah, well. What Harry wouldn't give to know that he was loved like that.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
He will find out the truth and it will take a series of many discussions between the two before a resolution can be made.

Some parents never get the difference between teaching the children the ways of the world, offering them a safe haven in the process, and torturing them day and night. Thanks for updating!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
True, especially when their own example of parenting was just as torturous. Thanks for reviewing!

this chapter was so sad, starting as it did with him brooding over harry, and then moving on to his next painful rejection from a woman. i'm very nervous of how he will react to this setback. however, i did not really like the idea of a more intimate relationship between them, given how their acquaintance began. so frankly, i'm kind of relieved that didn't go where he wanted it to, although i feel for his pain, which will probably transmute into some kind of awful rage. having read the reviews and your responses, i am glad to know that things will take a turn for the better soonish.

Yes, it really could not happen between them, it would never have worked. Although an emotionally healthy person could understand, we know Snape is not emotionally stable and has a huge chip on his shoulder, which is why he goes and sleeps with prostitues instead of going for relationships anyway. Now with this rejection, he will descend into his lowest period of self-loathing. The next chapter will be very difficult to handle, but I promise after that, things will start to slowly turn upwards for Snape. He will rekindle his friendship with Lupin and work on focusing on Harry's well-being, albeit from a distance.Thanks for reviewing!

Another great chapter it dovetails in with Canon so well. With the previous warning that you have given in the back of my mind this turn of events will not be good.Cheers.

The next chapter will be the worst, but then the story will take a change and will start to move in another direction that will bring Severus towards finding true love.

OW. That had to hurt.

Yeah, life sucks right now. But in a couple of chapters things will start to turn.

No wonder he is so absolutely cold and remote. Every time he tries to open up to a woman she does something to betray that trust he has been so slow to build up. He even feels betrayed by Lupin - the one person he would have called friend. I hope he gets his happy ending.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
He will, I promise! Thanks for reviewing!

That isn't going to go well for Severus, is it. You know, this gets harder and harder to read, because someone can only take so many hard knocks before they really lose all sense of emotional well being. Not that I think Severus has much of one at this point.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Just remember this fic is called "Love Remains", so don't give up hope! The next chapter will be lowest point, but then things will start to turn around for our favorite Potions Master!Thanks for reviewing!

ouch, no oc love for Severus, I'm going to take a geuss and say he has to wait for Hermione to grow up, but maybe that's just wishful thinking

We'll have to wait and see :) THanks for reviewing!

Wow that was cold. I mean she knew him and still was unsure because someone told her to be. I hope he finds true love soon.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
She probably never really loved him to begin with, after all, their inital meeting was not anything she could ever forget. Then there was the fact he never told her he was a Death Eater.But on the whole, she was cold about how she handled it. I promise he will find true love!

Wow...Snape needs help. Poor Moira, I feel for her but I think he may help....there must be some good in him still.

I still like you and your story but you've been very mean to poor Snape. I hope you are going to make him happy some time soon. Many thanks.

Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I promise that he will find love- real love. Just hang in there. The next chapter is not going to be nice, but after that, the story wil take another turn for the better.Thanks for reviewing!

Poor sod. Will this Snape-bashing ever end? Of course I know that this has to go on until the end of the seventh year, but this does not make it easier to read. On the other hand, the fact that my heart goes out to your version of Severus Snape speaks for your writing abilities. I am looking forward to the next update!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
The next chapter will be difficult, the lowest point for Severus, however after that, things will start to change. I promise I love happy endings!

Wow, well that wasn't what I would expect of him at all. He needs to pull himself together!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Snape is really spiraling out of control. It will be rough couple of chapters, but with Lupin's help he will find his way out of the darkness.Thanks for reviewing!

Powerful. And that he wanted to make sure she didn't make this a part of her life. There's still good in there even if he doesn't want to admit it. :-D
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
There is good in him, although the next two chapters just may send him over the edge. Poor Severus.

Wonderful. So sad at the funeral, and that Harry was ripped from Severus' life. Then his painful coming-to-grips with Harry coming to Hogwarts. And finally (for this chapter) dealing with one of the Marauders. Great job!:-D
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Thanks!Remus will continue to grow in the story and become a close friend of Severus' as time goes by.

Oh I liked the way you handled the conversaton between Lupin and Severus. I know he hates Sirius so much that he's blind - but it will only increase the shock to find out who's right. I like that after, he was willing to help the girl. But why the compasion? He's making himself into such a cold prick... still it's nice to see that he's not all to gone to care anymore.Thia is still one of my faorites for the challenge.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yeah! Snape is defeinatly going off the deep end. He is so full of self-loathing he is just lashing out where he can. But he still has a ways to go before he can coming to understanding. He will always retain that good part of himself. He loves Harry, he has a promise to keep for him.I'm glad you are still liking the story!

oh that is so sad and unnecessary, it must be her depression talking!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, she is so depressed she isn't thinking clearly. So sad.
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
Yes, she is so depressed she isn't thinking clearly. So sad.
No, Lily! That is never the right solution. rather find another way, but there must be something else she can do. Does she not realise Harry needs much more than an ex-Death Eater as a role model. He really needs her too!Oh, please update soon!!!!
Response from livvy6 (Author of Love Remains)
I will update as soon as I can. It is so sad what depression can do to a person's mind.

Oh dear - is this the end of Lily or is she just leaving? I agree you are a cruel, cruel one! (lol) Please don't leave us hanging long.This could be what makes Severus so bitter?Great chapter, by the way. :-D
