That was really cool; is that all there is to it or is there a back story about how they all got stuck in the castle? I like how Snape wasn't as evil toward Harry as he is in the books, but still at a level where you could tell that Snape still loathed him.

You've got the Harry and Snape interaction down. Now give us the rest of the story! What's going on with this seige? How did Snape get found out? What's going to happen? WHAT'S GOING ON?

Timeless Snape! He's so in-character it's actually quite scary. I'm currently writing a similar fiction myself, and if my characterisation is a fraction like this I think both you (especially) and I would make J.K.Rowling proud. "Suddenly, Snape crouched down, his face only inches away from Harry's". I love that image. It's just ... classic. I hope there's more to come, I'll certainly be looking out for your work.

Brilliant... your characterizations are wonderful! I think that this is a great one shot and that a prequel could be easily done! Lovely! Keep up the great writing.

I think you have done a pretty good job of making the interaction between Snape and Harry interesting and believable. The setting is also a little different and leads to some speculation. If this was the first chapter in a multi-chapter fic, I would give this a higher rating, but the ending had an incomplete feel for a one-shot. It doesn't really feel like anything was accomplished by this interlude in the life of Snape and Harry. Neither Harry nor Snape changed in any way that we can tell.

You have a few typos, the most worrisome is "pussy". The root word is "pus" which would make it "pusy"--but that looks funny, so you might want to edit that sentence to be able to use the noun rather than the adjective.

Author's Response: I checked the dictionary and that "pussy" was the correct form, but upon further thought, I've changed it. You're right, it just reads too weird.

Great little one-shot! :D Wow, such a pleasent surprise when I found it. :) Thanks so much for writing it! I really liked Snape's character in this one. One thing that I think that seems a little off is Snape's use of spells - I think that you need to mention somewhere early that either Snape doesn't have the energy to cast healing spells and make everything better, or that he doesn't know any. Otherwise, nice fic. :) (Just so you know, you had one paragraph repeated, the one that goes... "“There is very little that can be done for you in the infirmary, Mr. Potter..." and I deleted the duplicate.)
