Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Twelve

Good evening everyone,

I can't believe I finally go on holiday in three days time - I honestly can't wait to get away from everything and just enjoy the sun, the swimming pool and loads and loads of lovely free cocktails 🍸 (hic!) 

But before I go running off to pack my case (no, of course I haven't started yet), it's time for the twelfth and final chapter of Twenty Four Hours.

Severus has secretly arranged for he and Hermione to have the day off work. But will they actually get the day off Severus was hoping for, or will Hermione's need to control every situation kick in and cause a big fight between them?

Thank you for sticking with this story until the end. I hope you've enjoyed it, and if you've just found it, thank you for giving it a try. 

Any comments, kudos and reviews are always appreciated, especially if they say nice things, as it gives me a warm glow to know that people are enjoying my work. Valid and constructive criticism is also welcomed as I appreciate the chance to grow and improve. However, rude comments and flames are always deleted and reported as they do no one any favours and ruin what is supposed to be a bit of fun. 

So I'm off 😎 - see you when I get back. Hopefully, the break will leave me refreshed and inspired and ready to complete some of those stories I've currently got hanging around doing nothing.

Until next time.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Eleven

Happy Monday!

I know, I seem particularly happy, especially as it's Monday but it means there is only one more before I jet off for my wonderful week of sun and relaxation in beautiful Malta.

This also means that next week is the final part of Twenty Four Hours. Oh no, what will you do without it?

I'd like to say I've been busy writing and got a new story ready for posting on my return from holiday but I'd be mainly lying. While I have been doing a bit of writing and have quite a few stories part-finished, sadly I'm not close to getting any of them to my beta, the wonderful Mamacita, for editing. There may be a couple of one-shots coming up, but I'm not yet sure when my next full story will be ready for posting. Obviously, you'll hear about it here first.

So onto the penultimate chapter, and it's tissues at the ready as we've been invited to a wedding. Fingers crossed it all goes well. Ah, doesn't the bride look lovely, and those bridesmaids dresses . . . .

As ever a comment, kudos or review is always welcome. 

And so, I head off into the night, blissfully counting down the days until next Monday and the final part of the story.

Oh yes, and finally,

Happy Gryffindor week! 

(According to Bloomsbury, anyway).

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Ten

Evening all,

Here we are again, the end of a long weekend, another week closer to my holiday, and another chapter of Twenty Four Hours posted.

The end of the project has finally come, but what is Hermione going to do next? She still has choices to make, but will she get it right?

Thank you for sticking with the story. I hope you're enjoying it. If so, kudos, comments and reviews are always welcome.

I'll see you next week when we reach the penultimate chapter.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Nine

Happy Monday everyone.

I haven't got much to say as I'm feeling knackered and need to go to bed. So without further ado, let's move on to chapter nine of Twenty Four Hours.

Hermione's still trying to explain herself, poor love, and she's not making too many friends

As ever a comment, review or even just kudos is really appreciated, especially if you're enjoying the story. And feel to check out my old stories in the links in the sidebar. There might be something else you enjoy - or want to revisit if you're a regular reader.

See you next week.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Eight

Another Monday has arrived and my hayfever has kicked in big time so I can't stop sneezing and I can hardly see the computer to post. The heat has been and gone, and come back, and gone again. Tonight I'm feeling a bit chilly but I'm not sure why. Anyway. regardless of all that guff that you probably didn't want to know, it's time for chapter eight of Twenty Four Hours.

Hermione has people to talk to - but she really doesn't want to . . . and will she ever make a decision?

AFF.Org - Eight

AO3 - Eight

As always I'm doing a quick plug for comments, kudos and reviews. I always like to hear what people think of the story, especially if they're enjoying it. 

I was going to join the HP re-read on Good Reads as I haven't done my annual re-read of the books yet apart from skim reading plot points for a new story I'm working on, but having signed up and only seen a post a couple of days ago about how they were starting with the Fantastic Beasts script, suddenly they're about to start Chamber of Secrets. I haven't dug the books out yet, let alone started reading, so maybe I'll have to go at my own pace and not take part in the challenge.

What are you reading at the moment? Recommendations both for fan fiction and original stories are always welcome. 

See you next week,

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Seven

I can't believe another week has gone already, and that's even with a long weekend to stretch it out a bit.

But here we are, and it's time for the next chapter of Twenty Four Hours.

So, Hermione has finally made her decision (about bloody time too) but she still needs to end one of her relationships for good. Time for her to have a long overdue heart-to-heart and make the split permanent.

AFF.Org - Seven

AO3 - Seven

Let's hope she's made the right decision, eh?

I don't have much to say except for the usual plea for kudos, comments and reviews.

See you next week.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Six

Good evening everyone,

Once again I've made the deadline (go me!). It's Monday, so it's time for another chapter of Twenty Four Hours.

Hermione is going through a tough time and she's got some important decisions to make, but what is she going to choose? And will the decisions she makes be the right ones? 

Read on to find out . . . .

As always, I'm making a plea for comments, reviews and kudos. Thank you especially to Sameer, who left me a comment last week. I'm glad you're enjoying the story and I hope you continue to find it interesting.

Enjoy the chapter, and also enjoy anything else you read this week. I've just finished Maureen Johnson's Truly Devious which I would heartily recommend.

See you next week.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Five

Success!

I have managed to post a chapter before midnight on the day it's due. 

So here we are again for the latest chapter of Twenty Four Hours.

Hermione has to give Severus an answer, but will it be the one he wants? And there's discord within the team - will the virus cure ever get finished?

AO3 - Five

If you're enjoying Twenty Four Hours please let me know. Comments, reviews and kudos are always welcomed.

So it's back off to writing land for me as I'm drowning in unfinished stories. 

Enjoy World Book Night (well done you for choosing my story/blog), have a great week and I'll see you next Monday for the next chapter.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Four

Oops, I'm getting later and later.

The truth is that I actually posted the chapter very early this morning (so technically still just about Monday), but as it was way past my bedtime and only a few hours before I was due to get up again for work I didn't have time to post the links here.

So, without further ado, here is the latest chapter of Twenty Four Hours.

Severus has given Hermione a deadline to make a decision, but Ron has news of his own which could change everything. What is she going to do?

Enjoy, and I'll see you next week.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Three

Good evening everyone.

I think I've finally accepted that this story is going to be posted on a Monday. It's time for chapter 3 of Twenty Four Hours.

Severus is now working with Hermione's team but is he causing more problems than he's solving? Hermione certainly seems to think so, and she's already got more than enough problems already.

AO3 - Three

I hope you're enjoying the story so far. If so, kudos, comments and reviews are always welcome.

Thank you for continuing to read.

See you next week.

Twenty Four Hours - Chapter Two

Happy Easter!

I know it's all over now, and the eggs have already probably been eaten (mine have, anyway), but I hope you've had a good weekend full of fun and chocolate, or whatever floats your boat.

Because of the long weekend, I'm late posting again, although perfectly timed to fit in with last week. The good news is that I've managed to get some writing done. Better still, it didn't snow despite the warnings that it was going to so I'm a happy bunny (sorry!)

A change of circumstance means Hermione has no choice but to accept Severus' terms. She's about to find out how long twenty-four hours is.

Have a great (short) week.

New Story - Twenty Four Hours

Good evening everyone.

I'm posting a couple of days later than I anticipated as real life got in the way of my posting schedule. Anyway, I've finally managed it and tonight I present the Prologue and first chapter of Twenty Four Hours (also known as '... the flowering of Severus Snape' by my wonderful beta, Mamacita).

Hermione and her team have spent two long and unsuccessful years working on finding a potion to cure a mysterious epidemic that has been spreading throughout the wizarding world, collaborating with everyone who might possibly be able to help. Now only one person remains to ask, the one most likely to be able to solve the problem but also the least likely to want to help. The question is, is Hermione willing to pay the price to get the help she so badly needs?

Although there isn't much, there is some bad language and a couple of relatively graphic sex scenes so I think it's a bit too lemony for FFNet and I am therefore posting it on AFF.Org which means it's over-18s only, I'm afraid.

Prologue - AO3

I hope you enjoy the story and as always would appreciate comments, reviews and kudos. 

I'll see you next weekend when I shall be surrounded by chocolate (I hope).
