Age 59, I have been a Severus and Alan Rickman fan for a couple years. I post SS/HG stories.
I went to NY last week to see Seminar (Jan 4, 20012) It was wonderful.
Shades of Severus in his character and his house. I was priviledge to see Alan up close an personal after the play. 
Reviews for A Ghost of a Chance
The first thing that popped into my mind was that Hermione must be going through some sort of depression and post traumatic stress syndrome stuff. I'm sure too that she thought once the war was over she wouldn't have to put up with lunatics anymore. It's a good thing she has such a wonderful support team!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yeah I think your right she may have laughed when he was there Naken but it kind of caught up on her later. She will have to get through this new trama.She does have a good support team and a man who trys hard even though understanding is hard for him.Thanks for the review.
Nice chapter! Albus really is right a manipulative bastard at times. Haha, it is just now that I remembered that they are almost if not of the same age already. :D
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Thank you. Yes he is but he means well doesn't he. Yeah Hermione is maybe 5-7 years younger than Severus in this story. I'm so glad you liked it thank you for reviewing.
Excellent chapter as always. Hope she lets Severus know whats bothering her. I know she has a long road to recovery in front of her.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Thank you. I think they will work in out in the next few chapters. She does have some recovery but she also has Severus :) She will have to deal with Scorpius too...Thanks for your review,hugs.
OMG, no! Stupid Lucius!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yep LOL, he's in a bad way right now. He'll muck up the water for a chapter or two as far as consequences, I think LOL.Thanks for the comment.
Oy, wonder what Severus will do to Lucius.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Hopefully you will find out ina few days. The enxt Chapter is in the Queue. Thank you for your comment :)
Will Hermione be ravished by the villianous Lucius? Will Severus and the posse make it in time to save her? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of: "As the Ghost Turns". *cue creepy theme music* ^_^ An entirely enjoyable chapter if a bit short. Good job as ususl.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
LOL very cute, Thank you so much as soon as my beta sends me the next chapter I'll get it in the Q.
Loved the cliffie, can't wait to see how it all goes in her rescue!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Thank you, I hope you will enjoy it. I am anxious to get this next one up :) Its with my beta. Next up after the next few chapters is the solution to the Scorpius problem and some fun for Hermione and Severus...
Doesn't it just figure that RAT Malfoy has to be up to his slimy old tricks again? That man is a miserable piece of crap!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes, he is, but he's qite a drunk right now and very messed up. :)Jeannie
Scary ending. I hope they get there in tim.e
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
I hope I get the chapter from the beta soon :) Shes been doing an amazing job. I'm working her to hard.As the previous review said I hope the calvary is on the way... they are.
Aww, Nev was cute! :)
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
:) Thanks, glad you enjoyed his visit
I hope Severus and Hermione's friends get to Malfoy Manor soon. There's no telling what that evil bastard has in mind to do to her.Right now it seems that the best that can be said about Scopius' grandfather is that he is serving as a bad example.I hope this incident will help to remove the last layer that is prohibiting Severus from being freed from the spell. He loves her... I know he does. He just needs to realize that himself.Nicely done, Jeannie,Beth
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
I hope to get this chapter from the beta soon so you can all be put out of your missery's. Sorry occasionally a good cliff hanger happens :)Lucius is a horrible example and Dracos been mostly and absentee dad.I think you will enjoy the next one, :) Poor Severus LOLThanks BethJeannie
Well this is an interesting turn of events. I look forward to where you take us next.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
I hope that you will like what happens as far as good story telling goes. I hate writting hard stuff.Thank you for your review.
Oh, dear. I hope there is no rape.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Severus is on his way :) Thank you for the review.
oh oh oh oh oh NO!. Hurry Severus!!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
He's on his way :) Thanks for your review :)
Wow, that was action packed! I'm glad to see Severus is finally starting to get a clue about the need to speak up about his feelings. While that's a good thing, I did think Hermione's reaction to his comment was a bit overly sensitive. I thought he was expressing simple frustration about not being whole instead of discounting his relationship with her.Anyway, it's about time for the cavalry to arrive isin't it? Please bring on the next chapter!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
I was overly sentitive, I think they are both insecure about whether each one will stay once they are free of the curse.He is, but she always takes it to mean he doesn't want to be with her.It is time and they will come....I hope to hear from my beta soon :)
Ah ha! Why do I think this is going to rip away that last layer of spell surrounding Severus?Brava! I am glad to see another chapter of your intriguing story:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
:) I'm not telling. Thank you I'm glad you are enjoying it. I thought this story was kinf of frivilous but people seem to like it a lot. I hope you will continue to follow it as it branches off into new threads.Jeannie
That was evil leaving it there.....will Malfoy ever learn to take the blame for the crap he has done, I doubt it. I look forward to the next chapter cause I want to see Severus kick Malfoy or even hex his arse to the point where he won't be able to sit for the rest of his life. Sorry was I being a bit vindictive lol
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes it was sorry, good cliffies happen now and then. LOL I think Severus has a lot of feelings where Malfoy is concerned and we will go there as the story progresses.Malfoy is a nasty character at this point to be sure.Thank you for reviewing.Jeannie
poor neville...even after all these years! what a wonderful update! thanks and mucho smoochies
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the chapter. It was one of those generic chapters that are necessary to egt from a to b. LOL
Good chapter. I really enjoy the interplay between Severus and Poppy. It makes them seem more human. And Neville walking in on that scene. LoL! Priceless. ^_^
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Thank you, it was one of those have to get through sort of chapters. I like Poppy in this story :) She's very fleshed out. Glad you liked the scene with Neville. I like writing Neville. Thank you so much for the review, I'm off to add chapter 14 to the Queue.
Even if Neville did walk in at a very inopportune time, it is nice to see he actually got up enough courage to stop by! I just keep wondering what it's going to take to erase that last layer? And, will any of Severus' old DE cronies find out about him?
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes, it is good that he did have the courage to stop by. That question will be answered int he next 2-3 chapters I think. Humm well I think now that he;s known to be alive people will know he's there but since he was aquited of all crimes he is free to live his life. He lives a pretty secluded life and I don;t relaly think that changes a great deal during this story.I realy hope my beta gets back to me with a new chapter soon :)Thanks for the review :)
Oh my, the endearment between the two must have been a great shock to Neville and seeing Severus' ghostly appearance he must be gobsmacked! Although I wonder how he hadn't heard of Severus being alive. Haven't the news been on the Daily Prophet or something since the whole of Hogwarts and their parents know don't they?
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes I think it was as hard as it was for him to go there and then to embarrass himself and perhaps incure Severus' rath, He's probably thinking sheee it LOL Or maybe Bloody Hell. Oh well I have begun to realize there are lots of holes in thsi story things that I don't cover other people think I should have. Its hard to write over such a great perios of time (nearly a year) and not forget to connect all the cots :(. I appreciate people pointing things out so I can go back and fix something ehre or there if I can work it in. No Promises.Thanks so much for your review.
Ahhh, slowly but surely Severus is regaining his strenght and their feelings for each other grows as well. Sometimes it takes an accicent like what happened to Severus to make two people realize how very much they have come to care for one another.Very sweet chapter, Jeannie 
Beth
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes he is regaining his strength and your right I think they will get closer. I'm awaiting the next chapter frommy beta. I hope to get it soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter Beth, thanks for the review.Jeannie
LOL, nice ending! Nice to have a break from the layers, but I suppose the final layer will take longer to break.Well done, looking forward to seeing how the visit with Neville goes!
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Yes the final layer is coming a little ways in the future. I await the next chapter from my beta. I hope it's soon as my Queue is empty. Thank so much for your comment's I'm glad you enjoyed the chpater it was one of those necessary things to get through.
Busted! I wonder who is more uncomfortable, Neville, Hermione, or Severus?Another great chapter, I can't wait to read more:)Warm regards,Fizzabella
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
Probably Neville :) LOL Thank yu. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I will get another chpater from the beta in a few days. Thanks for the review.Jeannie
I'm glad Hermione reconnected with Neville. And that Severus is recovering well.
Response from gersknightlady (Author of A Ghost of a Chance)
I like Neville, I enjoy writing him. I hope we can get on with the story soon. Theres good times to come soon. :)A few more chapters to go first.Thank you for the review.
