this is totally adorable!!!!!!!!!! i love it.
Author's Response: Thanks so much-- I'm really glad you liked it! :) I was writing a really depressing chapter in my chaptered Severus/Lily fic and needed some levity. :)
awwwww thats sooooo sweeettttt!!! :) (DOWN WITH JAMES BOOOOOO!!!)
Author's Response: (Same as before-- thanks so much, and I think the computer screwed up and recorded this same review thrice.) :)

Author's Response: :) (I think there was a computer glitch, because the same review is in here three times. But thanks!) :)

Author's Response: Glad you liked it-- it was fun to write. :) And I'm not much of a James fan myself, obviously. :)
Oh that was very cute! I loved when Severus pulled out his watch to look at it! That was priceless! Great job! ;)
Author's Response: Glad you liked it-- I had fun imagining what he'd be like if he were actually basically happy. :) I think the House rivalry definitely wouldn't let up. :) Thank you for the review!!

Oh, this was a lovely bit of fluff. Certainly not what I usually indulge in when reading fanfic, but amusing and wonderful nonetheless.
Author's Response: Thanks for reading it, Sandy, especially since I know you usually tend toward the dark side. :) It was a lot of fun to write. You know my longer fic, and chapter two was so depressing that I had to write something more cheery while in the middle of it. :)
I loved this. You captured Lily perfectly and made Severus the kind of person I always thought he was but never showed because of his whole " i lost the love of my life to James Potter and I am a miserable Death Eater". Your story reminded me of the PoA movie with the shrunken head on the Knight Bus. I was just waiting for that head to start speaking in a Jamaican accent. All in all a wonderful one-shot.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind review. I really enjoyed writing this-- I thought that if he did win Lily, he'd be a lot happier, but probably still pretty insecure (although she might or might not know that), and still formal and, for lack of a better word, snarky. Writing him younger, happier, and minus the pivotal and most devastating event of his life was an interesting challenge-- not to mention writing the thoughts that would be going through Lily's head, and the kind of person she would have had to have become in order to fall for her brave and brilliant but definitely odd friend. Anyway, I'm so glad you liked it! :)
interesting story. nice!
do write more, u write very well
Author's Response: Glad you liked it! :) I'm new at this but enjoying it a lot, so yes, I'll definitely keep writing.
in character. Amusing twist. And Believable that Severus would do something just to see how Lily would react. Good short story.
Author's Response: Thanks for the feedback-- I'm new at writing Lily, and writing Severus in a circumstance in which he's happy was kind of an adventure. I'd imagine that at, say, meetings of the Order of the Phoenix, he'd still be very much his old self but possibly trying to polish it up a bit for Lily's sake. Glad you liked the twist. :)
I knew it was a test from the beginning; even Severus isn't that creepy. This was so cute! Thank you for a very enjoyable read!
Author's Response: Thanks for the review-- I'm so glad you liked it. :) It was fun to write-- writing Lily's point of view for a change was interesting. I imagine that in an alternative universe where they end up together, she'd have to grow to love the oddball tendencies or they would never be a couple, and he's always going to be drawn to the Dark Arts, so... a shrunken head on the coffee table. I DID wonder whether some people would figure out that it was a joke right from the start. :)
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! I actually laughed out loud when I read this! Great job with characterization, and I must say it's nice to see a happy Snape.
Please write more!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you liked it-- it was really fun to write. :) I'm working on a longer fic, same main characters, and if you read the utterly miserable Chapter 2, you'll see why I took a break to write this one. Trying to picture what he'd be like with Lily was an interesting challenge. I would guess that with the Marauders or, really, practically anyone else other than professors he respects, he'd still be scathing and prickly, but with her he'd be somewhat different-- hence this story. Thank you for the review!
Well, I think it's brilliant! Very cute and fun to read! I had to laugh at Lily's reaction to the shrunken head, as it sat ensconced on the table where Severus had put it. And he would have gotten it from me, for suggesting about tossing it, inspite of how he acted when he first set the thing down on that table.
At least, they are getting along, and they love each other....Hope Petunia and Vernon like their 'wedding present!' lol
Author's Response: Thanks so much for another review-- I wrote this when I was writing chapter 2 of my other (much longer) fic about what it would take for these two to wind up together, and it was such a miserable chapter that writing a fluffy piece with some light at the end of the tunnel was really fun. It was actually rather hard trying to write him as himself but, basically, with everything he'd always wanted-- it's good to know that you liked it. :) And Petunia and Vernon so deserve the shrunken head. ; )
dis was really gud i luv da fact dat snape actually gets to be wid lily gud job
Author's Response: Obviously I like these two together. I think Lily picked the wrong guy. :) Thanks for the review!
