I wondered when Snape would turn up. He must have just been knocked out when he was captured and not badly hurt. Since he was raised in a Muggle household, I wouldn't think that being disguised as a Muggle would be too difficult of Severus. Don't know how he and Hoppity will get on though. They sound as different as night and day.
Author's Response: Yes, Snape should be able to pretend to be a Muggle alright, but he has been a wizard for over a decade. He and Hoppity are certainly opposites! Thank you for your review!
Another great chapter! I was a little surprised that Snape agreed so easily, but then again, he doesn't really have much of a choice, does he?
So his spy cover is blown, hmm? That's interesting. Now he can't use that as an excuse to mistreat Harry or to keep from getting closer to him.
Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Nope! That's the plan! No excuse for Snape, whatsoever. Maybe he will let his guard down a little. Thanks for commenting!
Very good chapter I like Snape's characterization. I especially like when he metioned the gender changing potion: "...let me assure you I am quite allergic..." lol. Anyway, on to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Hahah!! Thanks for recalling that line, I had forgotten!
I loved it when he said, "let me assure you in advance that I am quite allergic." The Krispy Kreme password is cool too! It make me want to go get some right now but I think I'll read on instead. Great start so far! :)
Author's Response: LOL, thank you Alexis!

Jan,
I just loved the "I am quite alergic" comment! LOL! I can't wait to see how Hoppity and Snape get along!
Tracy
Author's Response: Haha! :) Yup, that's Snape alright. Thanks for your comments!
This is in character while having humor, and an unusual premise. I like that bit at the end, too, about Krispy Kremes. And how Snape called America 'the Colonies'. That made me laugh. I think that was cute of him. Heh.
Author's Response: Awww, thanks! :D

And so the snarkiness begins..."Posing as Muggle Family with Potter? In the colonies?" LOL!! Severus seems rather distressed, doesn't he? Hmmm...what potions were discussed between the two earlier? Apparently in a conversation that we didn't get to see...I wonder what Dumbledore wants him to brew...Oh, what a perfect line: "And the new Muggle Studies Professor? I assume she's a woman unless you intend to dose someone with a gender changing potion. If that is the case, let me assure you in advance that I am quite allergic." Tehe...that sums it up right there about the eloquence of our dear Potions Master...I mean, he could have just said 'no way am I changing genders" but that just wouldn't be his style...I expected a little more resistance to Dumbledore's plan, although I can see where Severus may be willing to place his fate in Dumbledore's hands-he's at a turning point, so it would seem-The Ministry know of his spying...and Voldemort waits to seek venegance. Great chapter, as always! Slight grammar boo-boo: "Severus, you are too important to the Order and to this school to loose either by death or design." *should be 'lose' But you still get your Reese's Cups! --Amber
Author's Response: Hehehe,, thanks! :) I love Reeses cups, thanks!
"Posing as Muggle Family with Potter? In the colonies?" LOL, that line cracks me up for some reason. Maybe it's just the expression that I can imagine on Snape's face as he spits out what he's saying. I always imagined him being utterly mortified! :)
Author's Response: Haha. Thanks. :) Colonies, indeed...
haha. Hoppity mange them. I'm thinking not. And I don't think it got through my head the past two times I read it...but you put colonies...I like. :D
Author's Response: thankyou! :D
You know what one of the things I like about Muggleville is? Instead of brushing over the explanation of WHY Harry and Snape have to spend time together, or WHY Harry should be deaged, or WHY they shouldn't use magic, you explain all that.. but you do it in a fun, interesting way, so that I am not bored out of my mind with the explanation, either. It's a great balance.
Then again, there's a possibility that I love that because we have so much in common. ;-) Anyway, yeah--lots of lovely sneering coming from Snape this chapter, but he gave in pretty easily, it seemed. Then again, Dumbledore does have a lot of power over him, and he IS between a rock and a hard place, so to speak. So I guess I believe it.. I just think I might have liked one more token protest, before he gave in. But it's your fic and I'm loving it, despite these little recommendations for possible improvement I'm giving. ;-) One to chapter 4...
Author's Response: I can add another token protest in there somewhere... Yes! Fun and interesting ways so that you aren't bored out of your mind are key!!! I refuse to have bored readers. :P lol@"I'm loving it, despite these little recommendations for possible" improvement" Haha.
