Bluebells are the key here yes. They play a big part in his tale.  It would be interesting to write an entire tale about DE's, but hell, that's for JKR to do.  I'd be interested in reading her story about them though.

Thanks.  Next chapter Hermione starts pounding the pavement to sell her book.  I've got it about half done, so hopefully I'll have it up in a few days.

Your welcome. . . I love updates.

I plead the 5th.

thought so.  that was the first thing that popped into my head.  didn't he mention something about picking flowers with his mom?

Hm...maybe so, maybe no. LOL, I'm working towards something with that.  I hope it turns out well.

thanks sweets

I'm glad you liked this chapter.  I've just posted another one.  I hope you enjoy that one as well.

I think a lot of us saw this when we were little, I did too.  I recently saw it again via Netflix and was reminded why I loved it so much.  I hope you like what I do with this.  I'm trying to be as faithful to the original plot as I can.  Thank you for reading this and taking the time to review.

Yeah, I tend to be too suspicious too, but Reg is worse than a plagerist.  You'll see soon what I mean.

LOL, you know I have to apologize.  Now that you mention it I may have added that not even realizing it would clash with your story.  Merlin was the first name that popped into my head when thinking what might be a good selling book in the wizarding world.  Sorry sweets, I'll clear anything up in my next chapter.

That's ok... Don't worry about it. I'm glad you used it! LOL ...

Thanks.  I've got another chapter in the works.  I just need to figure out if I want to add one more thing to it.  I hope to have it up in a few days.

Who in their right mind would tire of his voice?  He is being quite friendly.  Seeing her has given him the opportunity to remember his own mother, and that's important.

It is quite sad.  What he did as a DE isn't pleasant, but I feel something horrible drove him to doing those things.  And I also feel that he has tried so hard to make up for those things.  Thank you for reading this and taking the time to review.

Your welcome!!

Oh yeah, what could be better than sitting in a room listening to that voice on a daily basis?  Um...nothing.

I'm glad you are still enjoying this.  Poor Severus, doesn't even realize its happening either.

I wasn't too sure about this chapter, but I'm glad you liked it.  I'll hopefully have something more up by this weekend.

Thanks!  Marquise did a lovely job with that drawing.

I'm glad you like it so far.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I hope you like what I have to come.  I'm trying to be as faithful to the movie as I can, since I loved it so much. 

Thanks.  I decided to give the story a beginning, but I don't want to delve too much into it, as I would rather focus on their interaction.  I'll be posting chapter 4 in the morning, and I'm just now sitting down to chapter 5.  Both chapters will include tidbits of the book, but it probably won't go beyond these chapters.  After all, Hermione's got to get out and sell that book.  Thanks for taking a moment to read this and review.  I'm looking forward to more of your story too btw.

I thought I'd give it a beginning. I'm not going to delve too much into the book or else this would wind up being way longer than I intend. I'm very happy she did that drawing for me. I love it. southern_witch_69's response: I know what you mean. Save you writing abilities for the actual tale, eh? muahaha... lovely. I can't wait, as I do adore you stories.

Thanks.  I knew you would agree.  It's better to tell the tale.  Hey!  what's this cool new thingy?southern_witch_69's response: NSS is brilliant, is she not? She fixed this up for us to be able to "enhance" our reviewing/ writing experiences. hehe.. I just love it! She uploaded this today!

She is a goddess!  I bow down and worship at her feet!  Cool, very very cool.

Thanks! I'll be posting chapter 4 tomorrow. Hopefully I can sit down this evening and get something more typed up.

I'm trying to get everyone to see this absolutely wonderful movie. Geez, anybody would think I've got stock in it.

Thank you. The good thing about not knowing much about Snape's background is being able to make up something plausible. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter. I'm in the middle of writing chapter 4, so hopefully I'll have something before the end of the week for you all to read. I appreciate you taking the time to review.
