    Love this story. If Severus hadn't met his match in Hermione, he surely has in his daughter. Can't wait to see what the bet is. More soon please.

    I'm glad Hermione apologized to him. Its the one thing she haden't done and the first thing she should have done. I love that he is taking an active role in Selenus' life and I can't wait for the chess match. I'm curious as to what they will bet. I hope its nothing humiliating to either of them though. I'm looking forward to more. Please don't keep us waiting too long.

    Liked the plot twist of Hermione being considered dead. VERY GOOD way to ensure that Severus gets a foot in the door as a father.

    In answer to ancientgirl's comment, I would like to mention that I don't find it painfully obvious that Hermione didn't want Severus in their lives, it's totally within the psychology of her character to be afraid of his ultimate reaction, to be afraid of risking the happiness that she had found with her daughter in America to tell him... What if he had cared enough to try to take her away? And by God, what if he hadn't?? Where would the two parents relationship be in all of this ? What effect would it have on an impressionable young child?

    There you see gea gears turning away in my analytical little mind... proof that you're doing great!
    Keep writing!

    Well done! Your characters and their setting are very believable and I can't wait to see what Albus' meddling does to the situation next!

    Keep Writing :)

    (Screaming (right along with Hermione) AAAAARGH!) Poor Hermione, that is so not fair. But good for Serverus, I guess their daughter's name is going to change after all. I don't know how to feel about this development. I suppose all I can do is hope for the best, being it willp sop sooth Severus' feathers so their relationship can progress. Oh my.

    Great chapter. But I'm not understanding Hermione's whole attitude. Its painfully obvious now that she never intended or seems to have wanted Severus to know of his daughter which I think is inexcusable. I have to say I really dont' like her in this story. I'm glad you added this twist though. It will serve her right to not have any say in Silenus's life for a while and have Severus there instead. I really can't wait to read the next chapter and have a little glimpse of Severus talking with his daugher alone.

    The Academy was located in the middle of nowhere between Chicago and Indianapolis

    Ouch. That's just harsh. What, were they stuck in Gary?

    It's your story! She's your character! You keep the name if you like it! IF you want to change it fine, but I don't have a problem w/ her name! As for the sorting I'm hoping she's Slytherin because it would help in bonding S w/ w/ his daughter! Plus, it would serve Hermione right for being so selfish about "her" daughter! Hello, she didn't even give him a choice to claim the child! I get so frustrated when women lay claim to "their" child when the man doesn't even know about the child in the first place. It's one thing if he knows and he turns his back on his responsiblilities, but he didn't know so throwing the DNA thing in his face was not a fair thing to do! And the girl is not a peice of property. Hermione is treating her the same way as Snape! SHAME ON BOTH OF THEM Sel Selinus is a human being and she's 11 yrs. old she can make up her own mind. I think they both need to respect her choice to keep whatever name she likes.

    I also have to say that I was an only child raised by a mother w/ a father who to this day does not know that I exist. While I may be passed the point of wanting to find the man now at 11 yrs. old I thought about what the man who helped conceive me was like all the time. I would have had A LOT of questions for him! She didn't ask him any questions about what type of family he was from and whether he was ever married, if he had any other kids he new of or if there could be another kid he didn't know about, was he disappointed she was a girl and not a boy, why was it important to him that she have his last name, what made him interested in potions, why didn't he look for her mother when she disappeared. Most 11 yr. olds are far more inquisative! There was way too much Hermione/Snape and not enough between Snape and Selinus, but other then that it was a good chapter and I look forward to the next!

    BTW, I forgot to mention. I think she should be sorted in Slytherin. At least that way Severus could have the opportunity to do some bonding with her. Also knowing that those people who had kept Selenus a secret from Severus would want to have her sorted into Gryffindor or really anywhere other than Slytherin the then see her in Slytherin would be a nice kick in the pants. LOL, can you tell I'm rooting for Severus in this story?

    Okay, some people may not agree with me here but I think Hermione is being a jerk. First I totally unerstand why she felt the need to keep quite while Voldemort was still alive and the few years after while the scattered Deatheaters were being rounded up, but there is no excuse for her not to have said something to Severus after that. The man was upset and had every right to be, this secret had been kept from him. He is confronted with the fact that he has a daughter. He went to meet her and of course him being how he is wants to legally make her a Snape. Hermione has no right to be so curt to him. Didn't she want him to show some interest innolenoledging this is his daughter. I can understand Selenus' reaction because she just met him. But I also fault Hermione in this as apparently she has only recently decided to tell her daughter who her father was. Her daughter obviously knows nothing of her parents relationship and should at least be told something.

    I can't see it, I just can't. I don't feel sorry for Hermione at this juncture as I think she had done things incorrectly. Even if she would have come to him 6years ago or maybe 5 or 4 or even 3, but she comes to him now not because she wanted to not really. As she stated she really wanted to just stay in America. Does this mean that had she not be asked to return to Hogwarts Severus would have never known he had a daughter? I think she should at least apologize to the man for Christs sake. They didntelltell the man he had a daughter for 12 years, that's not something small and everyone is acting like its no dealdeal.

    Sorry, this isn't a flame towards you. You are doing a fantastic job writing this and you are probably wanting some reaction. I just hope you don't set Hermione up as the poor single mother who had to raise her child without his father. She's not, at least that's not how I'm reading this. And no one else has any right to berate Severus for 1. not being in her life and 2. being so disturbed about this.

    I think she should be in Slytherin to give Snape more of a chance to build his relationship with her. If I were you I would change the name back to the feminine form because it jars a little with any one who knows any classical history. I am looking forward to seein where you take it next.

    Don't change her name! Absolutely not! It's as unique as each of her parents' names! And I think it would help with the bonding if she were sorted into Slytherin. I vote Slytherin.
