Seventh-year student Hermione Granger decides to marry the one eligible wizard who did not ask for her--the horrid but powerful Severus Snape. All is not sweetness and light. Be careful what you ask for. Or, as has been said by many a wise witch, "Marry in haste; repent in leisure." MLC

With the completion of Care of Magical Creatures my fanfic output is going to slow way down, but if you want to be sure to know when new fics post, please follow me on twitter. I don't tweet much, but I'll surely tweet that kind of thing.
About Mia
I came to the world of Harry Potter relatively early, after first resisting it because it just seemed too trendy. But when the first book came out in paperback in the US I picked it up at the airport when I was about to catch a flight, and two chapters in knew I would be ordering the original from amazon.co.uk in hardcover as soon as I landed.
I came to fanfic late, waiting until after I'd read DH. That means I've been totally obsessed with the fanfic world of Harry Potter, and most specifically the SS/HG ship, since August of '07.
I'm helplessly and hopelessly hooked.
Reviews for Care of Magical Creatures
I hardly know what to say, except that you may be the most twised author ever - putting Severus in a situation like that, then ending the chapter!!I think Hermione will understand. She is not as prejudiced as other people we know...Ps Loved what happened to Bella there!!!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh, we aren't through with Bella. Not at all.
Thank you so much!!!

Breathless. Horrified. Amazed. Dizzy. Shocked.E -X-H-I -L-A-R-A-T-E-D!!!That's how I feel now.Please, update soon. I am begging you. ***(You are a genius. Period.)
Response from tialangela (Reviewer)
Sorry, I forgot to mention: I could swear I was smelling the scent through the chapter. That was brilliant.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Your review gives me chills!!! Thank you so much! (And when this is all over I will reveal the source of the scent, a commercial line of products that is available in the US.)

Oh My GOD!! I almost hestitated in reading this chapter, because I wanted to savor all the ones before it. I knew it would be another cliffy that would leave me panting for me, and you have certainly proven yourself once again. I have rarely read a fanfic that keeps me this enthralled, and for that, I thank you. I absolutely cannot WAIT to read more.~*

Another brilliant update! Though I long for Hermione and Severus to be reunited, I think we needed this chapter. More than any other chapter, it showed how intense their love are! Not to mention, Hermione needs to know just what kind of damage she inflicted on both of them by breaking their bond, I hope she and Severus will remember that in the future! While I can understand Severus terror (and enjoy Bellatrix terror for the same reason) of finding out that Voldemort is his father, he can't actually belive that it would change Hermione's opinion of him? Surely he knows that Hermione loves him, not who his parents are? Though, I can easily see that other people, if they find out, would be more than happy to use it against him, Hermione wouldn't care one shit about who fathered him or not, she loves Severus just the way he is!!! (Make sure that she tells him that as soon as possible) The solution is "simple"; Voldemort accepts that Hermione would rather die than betray Harry, but feel secure that he will manage to kill Harry without her "help" and won't claim her loyalty until he is victorous.... Severus and Hermione must just make sure that the rigth side wins the war, nothing to it...... But first of all, reunite Hermione and Severus, and after he has snogged her senseless, and they have made love so intence that their blood is screaming for mercy, he is allowed to lay her over his knees and smack her bum until she swears never to behave this stupid ever again. (Then again, would laying in Severus lap while he smacks your bum be considered punishment????) When this is done, they can make sure to win the war and live happily ever after! Another question, does Albus know that Voldemort is Severus father? Hurry up writing, as usual I am in desperate need for the next chapter!!!

Thank you so much! As always, your review is wonderful, and I'm relieved that you aren't wanting to revoke my fanfic privileges for putting Severus in this situation!

Very cool. That is a twist I really wasn't expecting. Even with the elf made cups as a hint. Darn. Now I have to wait for the next chapter just like everyone else! Wah!
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
But I've had the most wonderful ride, watching you read your way to this point! And I'm working on the next chapter now so maybe you won't have to wait too long...Thank you!!!

They are still married in the muggle world. They were married in that cathedral, right? What did Voldemort put into the cup? So many questions. :)

Holy. F-ing.SHIT. ("Luke, I am your father....")Well, this is one I did not expect. Oh, my. So, does Snape speak Parseltongue, too?hehe. wow.just...wow.(Sorry, I know that made no sense. I still can't get my thoughts together, but I loved it. Please, please, PLEASE update!)

She broke her wand, and that made her ministry ring disappear? That's odd.

Albus is really self centered in this, isn't he. He seems to be a step out of synch with whats actually happening, too.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Albus is totally focused on winning the war, and because of Voldemort's belief in the prophecy, that means he's focussed on Harry.

That is very cool. I like the idea (I hope I understood correctly) of people being entranced when Severus sings. That is really an evil bed. I don't like it much at all.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Snape's singing will be explained more later....I didn't even remember that he "sang" an incantation until I saw references to him singing them in other fics, and then was told that this is how he healed Draco from the Sectumsempra that Harry cast on him in HBP. Which makes me wonder if we'll get to hear AR singing that spell in the moooovie!
Response from elsolel (Reviewer)
That would be neat. he sings a song in Truly Madly Deeply, and now I like that version better than the original. It gets sometimes gets into my head, but it's the ending, so I can get it out again fairly easily.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Okay, I still haven't seen that and I absolutely have to rent it!

Very convolulted. I'm amazed that she sent that many howlers. I wish I could have seen their faces! Oh, I hope she's ok.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh I do wish I could have seen all their faces, too! But imagining them is quite fun!

Draco is such a scuz. I thought the part where controlling strong magic is a physical thing was pretty interesting. Bleh, what does that say about Slughorn? I shudder.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Oh gads, I can't even think about the Slug!I wasn't sure how that idea about controlling magic would be received, but it seemed possible to me and I kind of liked it.

Hermione's outfit sounds gorgeous. Damn, now I wish I could wear green. Pout. I'm jealous. I like how Madam Hooch did an "appraisal" heheheOne day to be ordinary. That's kind of sad.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Yes, it's sad. But it gives me hope. Maybe knowing what ordinary means will give them something even bigger to fight for.

Wow, I wish someone would get me presents that bad! I like that she can 'billow' now.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I thought he did a great job, even though before I wrote these chapters I had no idea what he could possibly get her that would be in character and yet still seem romantic!

Did he leave Madam Malkin's in disgust, or did he come up with another idea for a present? What was the potion for? Again, yay for catch-up reading! I don't have to wa-ait!

A soul kiss? Very cool. I am glad that she didn't vow to obey! ;)

I can't imagine Hermione having to be obedient!

A place for her to go is a great thing. How do all those rooms have the same view. Are they different angles? They must be. The two of them are really getting things sorted, I hope the wrench of the withdrawl doesn't hurt to much.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
I assumed the rooms were on different floors of the castle, more or less above/below each other. Although the window Hermione sat in in the corridor was just next door to Madam Hooch, so they were close enough to one another to have more or less the same view!

Oh, lots of forward plot in this chapter! I like that she had to 'stop' concentrating in order to write. I really hope he hasn't driven her away.

He can be such a wretch, but then the things he has to endure are wretched. Sigh.

Interesting twist. And now that I've spent the last 3 days reading what you have so far, I can safely return to my life while I await updates.But they have been three entertaining days *smirk*

I adore this fic! I've been reading SS/HG for years and I don't comment often anymore (to my shame) but I had to tell you how wonderful I'm finding it...That said, I just had an, "Obi-Wan never told you about your father..." moment, you know? Better written, more angsty (no one should have let George Lucas write dialogue). I guess that makes it more a Joseph Cambell thing, rather than George Lucas. Sort of an archetypal epic hero occurrence like the dark journey or some such.Sorry about the stream of consciousness thing; the story is fantastic.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
Thank you for your fabuous review! I haven't studied Joseph Campbell directly but am very familiar with his work, so yes, I think you're right. Let's face it--George Lucas used Campbell as his guideline!Thank you again. I really do appreciate it!

Not at all...looking forward to updates!

I'm so glad that he showed her what he did. That helped a lot. I can imagine the blizzard of Howlers! That would be funny.
Response from mia madwyn (Author of Care of Magical Creatures)
She simply can't believe anything wrong about him, can she? She thinks she knows best, and I hope she does. She's also very very smart, but we knew that!

Finally, he gathered the energy to growl, "And did somebody actually tell you that the wizarding world needed a new magical art?"This line had me rolling on the floor. Excellent. I loved how Hermione took care of Severus. (That might have been last chapter, I'm not sure.) ( I think I might put off until later the rest of the story. I'm up waaaay past my bedtime! And am getting confused. Which may lead to entertaining reviews, but not relevant ones! LOL!)
