Hmmm, Snape and his silky voice. I love the way he is always referring to the
"I saved your life" - moment.
He is such a seducer. Will Hermione give in?
After so many HG/SS stories its difficult to see them NOT as lovers.
Dear Mrs_Figg, thanks for sharing your amazing talent, phantasy and humour with us.

ooh.
I wonder how Hermione will feel after Snape shows her the real memory of the night.
Hopefully, she won't be as annoying.
I have a question though, and I know you don't usually answer questions on the A/N of your story, but I hope you'll answer mine --
This story was originally a one-shot, and obviously that one-shot was HG/SS. But now it's a story...is this story supposed to be a continuation of the one-shot, meaning it'll be a HG/SS. Or is this story the after-effects and the HG/SS part was the original one-shot?
I mean I won't stop reading either way because its ridiculously interesting thus far and different, but I'm very curious.
Thanks Figgy!

Lyra Aphrodite: Hey girl. :) Usually, if I see a question issued by a reader, I will do my best to answer it, because it shows an interest in the story. Of course, I appreciate that interest immensely.
To answer your question, in my opinion, this is an HG/SS but not in the traditional sense. It is a different kind of relationship, not based on romance or intimacy, but interactions. They had their moment, but that moment wasn't based on mutual attraction. They never lusted for each other.
This is an exploration of interpersonal relationships, and of coming to terms, and hopefully growth in the face of adversity. It involves more than Hermione and Severus, and challenging the beliefs of others and what's right and what's wrong. Can there be a meeting of the minds with all involved? That's the crux of this story I think. But I don't foresee any romance between the couple, but the interactions, in my opinion still make it HG/SS. I hope I answered satisfactorily. ***

Hermione's reaction was greatly made, just fine with this character and the punch was justified (unlike i may have read it in reviews). Now, it made me curious from whom Eileen had inherited the most "pissed-of" mood... Hermione or Snape? (well formulated or is it ununderstable?).
I would have liked a love type bond between Severus and Hermione but i understand that you don't want it in this story (Ron is a git! :p).

I just reread addicted's review and I missed what she said about Eileen's reaction to her mum and how it wasn't that believable. I have three children and witnessed something similiar happen between one of my daughters and her father. She just blew up on him because of his lack of interest. She never said anything about him or how she felt to anyone. She blew up on him and just walked away, and it was quite similiar to what happened with Eileen and Delores. His excuse was that he was busy with work and his other family, but it didn't fly. I just told him it was his own fault she felt the way she did and left it at that. They've since come to terms, thank goodness and he's shown more interest and been there for her. So, as far as I'm concerned, what Eileen did is completely possible. It was a blow-up, and blow-ups are usually pretty over the top because of all the emotion involved.
I also witnessed something even worse. There was a guy named Booby, and he had two daughterd Anita and Loretta and he never really paid that much attention to them. He was a vietnam war vet with some real problems, kind of manic. Something happened between the girls and their mother, and he came over to try and chastise them and tell them how they should act. They were 17 and 16. You know what they did to him? Jumped him and beat the shit out of him with a telephone, knots and contusions all around his head. They really went to work on him, his own daughters. Talk about a blow-up and over the top . . .
A lot of what I put in these stories have some basis in my own experiences, particularly when I write children and teenagers. My own children were born in 82, 83, and 84, so I had to deal with three teenagers at once, and all their attitudes and angst. Each one was different, my son the most level headed, and my Princess older daughter a real challenge. My youngest daughter was more even, but sneaky. Actually they were all pretty sneaky as teenagers are wont to be. But they came out all right and all are responsible adults, much more responsible than I was at their age. They are the anti-thesis of me, but then again, being a troubled teen myself, I had a lot of empathy for them and understanding about their frustrations and angst and what my own parents did wrong, which primarily wasn't listening and seeing my point of view. When I wrote Eileen in this story, I didn't give much background at first, except she was hexing from an early age and loved her father. I wanted her to seen to be a problem child, someone difficult, cold and warped. This is how a lot of children are seen when adults don't bother to look deeper. Then later, we find out she really isn't that bad, that she has legitimate reasons to act as she does for the most part, and why. We get her point of view and some understanding and she becomes a sympathetic, conflicted character.
This could go on and on. lol. Best to break it off here, but I think ya'll get the gist of what I'm trying to say here. ***
