Life For Rent
Chapter 23
A/N: Hello everyone! This chapter is actually going to be a fairly long author's note.
First of all, I want to thank everyone for all the praise and the overwhelming amount of requests for a sequel. I told my beta I would write a sequel if at least three people asked for one and so far I have had thirty-five requests for a sequel. It makes me feel absolutely wonderful that you all are still interested in more!!!
I will not be posting a whole new story. I will just pick up with Chapter 24 on this posting of Life For Rent so if you have this story on alert, that's all you need!
Part 2 is going to take place after the birth of Hermione and Severus' child, however, I am torn between three names for their daughter, yes you read right, it is a girl. The choices are Adah, Aliena, or Caris. Please review and let me know which one you like and I will pick the one that has the most votes. As far as a middle name goes send me your suggestions and I will use the one I like the best or the one that has the most creative explanation for why they picked it.
The story will pick up the week before our happy couple takes up their posts at Hogwarts so the kiddo will be a few months old. Hermione is going to take Ginny's words to heart and she has plans to revolutionize the way students of different Houses interact with each other, but will Severus be willing to adapt her ideas to his new regime as Headmaster?
Some of you expressed that you don't like sequels and I understand, so you could always just consider part 2 as a continuation rather than a sequel, or you can stop reading. I would understand. I am starting one other new Severus fic that I will be posting within the next couple of weeks and I am working on a Dramione with another author so updates will be weekly or so. I will never go more than two weeks between updates if I can help it at all.
My fantabulous beta Whoopsydaisy has agreed to continue betaing the story. She happens to love the angst so this story might have a little more in it than the previous. Just so you know though, Hermione and Severus will not break up, they will not give each other the silent treatment (I think that is extremely childish) but they may fight a little more over things that normal couples with new babies and new careers might fight about, add the fact that they work together and there is plenty of room for drama!
Once again, I would like to thank all of you for reading! I love to write and I am learning a lot about the process on this site. I would love to be a novelist and I have original ideas but I believe I have a long way to go before I am good enough. All of your insights and support have made me feel great and I appreciate it! Updates coming soon!!!
