    This story was very entertaining to read, it was very emotional and funny. You have a lot of creative and original ideas.

    I was so upset near the end of chapter 16. *wipes eyes* I felt so bad for poor little Severus, all he wanted was for his mommy to love him. I actually cried, I usually can hold myself back so that my tears stay in my eyes when I read something really sad and heart-breaking, but that just made the tears flow. Poor little Severus! *sob* Someone hug the poor little bugger!

    Eileen is a sad excuse of a mother, she doesn’t care about her kids at all. She is so heartless. When I first read you’re Eileen, I was very disappointed in her. I thought that she was a very irresponsible mother and that it was very sad that she left poor little Severus. As I read more about her, and she was introduced, I totally loathed her! Eileen is a skanky b***h, she totally doesn’t deserve any ones time or love.

    Serenity rules! She totally put Eileen in her place! It was really eerie when I read how Serenity and Severus met in you’re story though. I had made two different characters named Serenity a couple years ago, one girl was in a Fan-fic named Serenity that had met Severus, and the way they met sounds so alike its creepy! Yeah, I’m not going to give any more info away, because I’m planning on posting the story as soon as I find it. I need to clean my room darn it! hehe. The other girl was a character I created at an RPG site, whom was best friends with Lily at Hogwarts, whom secretly loved Severus. It really sucks that they closed the site. *pout* They closed it a little while after the fifth book came to stores, apparently the admin couldn’t keep up with the site and just deleted it. No one had any notice whatsoever, it sucked.

    I think Tobias is a harsh but far person. He is also funny, and very wise. He is a great father, I love how he cares deeply for his sons, it’s so sweet, yet he knows how to handle them so that they are terrified, it’s really funny. I’m so glad that Tobias finally ditched that woman.

    I love the Harry and Severus brother interaction, it’s cute and funny. That one scene where Severus hugged Harry, when he was feeling down and betrayed, was so sweet! Severus always tries to seem indifferent, but he really has such a beautiful soul.

    I thought the end was so cute and funny. Poor Harry! Hehe.

    Note: I think you did a good enough job on Voldemort, but next time you have issues with him, think of an evil, smarmy, sneaky arse. When you’re writing him, think of things in his point of view, how pissed he would be if something happened that would be very bad for him. Have the anger build, the evilness show, and keep his smugness when he thinks he is going to win. Hope that helps!


    Much love,

    Beth

    P.S. I’ll go check out the sequel now.

    Wow! Thanks for the awesome review! I'm really glad you like it! I have to say that the scene in chapter 16 was my beta's idea though I did all the writing. (I cried when I wrote it, but don't tell anyone:)) Eileen is actually my favorite character. I mean yes she's a b***h but she's a good character. Serenity...well, read the sequel.

    Have fun cleaning your room.

    Tobias is another of my favorite characters, but I find he's harder to write then Eileen.

    I laughed at when I wrote the scene when Severus hugged Harry.

    Thanks for the tips on Voldemort. I'll put them to good use.

    Thanks for the review, hope you enjoy the sequel just as much.

    I just finished reading this story and it is great. I love Tobias (and even Eileen.)

    I am looking forward to more.

    Author's Response:

    Glad you enjoyed it. The sequel is posted now as well. Eileen is one of my favorite characters, oddly enough, as horrible as she is she is fun to write.

    Thanks for reviewing.

    O.M.G!! This was absolutely brilliant! I swear I nearly burst into tears every time Harry did! It was perfect! You managed to cover all the important basis for a fic like this: properly developing inter-character realationships; balancing their interations with outside chacters; keeping the base tone of the fic well balanced (without making it too "Heavy" with over baring dark emotions or too "light" where there seemed to be no emotion at all); being true to their personalities, then changing them in a realistic time span (not too rushed or too drawn out); and creating original character that fit so seemlessly into the cannon world. I'm rather impressed. There aren't many fics I can say this about. I believe the last one was Not Myself by Saerry Snape about 3 or so years ago. There are fics like Saving Conner and it's sequals that come close (they have everything I mentioned except they become so emotionally heavy after a while it feels like tying to slog through 4 feet of snow without snowshoes). You managed a well balanced mixture of humor and deep emotion that is absolutely commendable. Not to mention your character development of you original characters (and the later OOCness of the Cannon characters) was of superb quality. I can honestly say this was an enjoyable and adictive read. Two thumbs up and I can't wait to start the sequal.

    Author's Response: WOW! I don't know what to say other then: Wow. Thank you, thank you so much. I'm thrilled that you like it so much. Thank you. I really don't know what to say other then that. There is a sequel now, that I hope you'll enjoy just as much. This is by far the best review I've ever recieved and I can't thank you enough. Just so you know my beta is going over the first few chapters so when she gets done with them I'll repost with less spelling errors and such. Thank you again!

    You get her told Tobby! ^-^ I did it! I finished it all! *wags tail* I really enjoyed this fic. It was certainly very different from what I've read thus far.

    Lucky for me there is already a sequal in progress! ^v^ *punches the air and wonders off to read the sequal fic*

    Author's Response:

    *pets head as tail wags* Glad you liked Tobias's actions and the how fic in general. I try to write unusual things. Then even if the fic isn't that great it's praised becasue its unusual. Though I must say yours is rather unusual as well, which is probably why it's one of my favorites.

    Enjoy the sequel, and thanks for the review!

    Great job! I'm normally not a fan of "Harry's really related to Snape" stories but this one was awesome! I loved Tobias, you did such a great job with him! Eileen was wonderfully bad as well! I can't wait to read the sequel!
