    I was liking this, but I don't buy that Harry would be this cruel just to ensure that things went the way they already had. (And Eileen has no reason to go along with it either. 'He will die a hero?' Really? What sort of motivation is that for Eileen to follow his instructions?) Harry's seen enough of time travel to know that what has happened, has happened, and there's no need to force it.

    I would rather have seen him trying to stay but unable to stop himself from leaving, then Eileen feels forced to marry Snape (who isn't yet such a bad sort as portrayed here) because of the stigma of being an unwed mother (still huge in the early 60s). She is the one who casts the glamour, for the sake of the neighbourhood gossips, but Snape knows the child is not his and is jealous, and this ends up poisoning any chance of a decent marriage. Severus and Harry could have figured this out together – after much angst, of course – after Harry's return and revelation. Same end point, but everyone stays in character.

    Author's Response: I fail to understand why you thought this was a necessary commebt to leave on a fanfic that is ten years old.  It's not like I'm going to change it to suit your tastes.

    I've read this story already, but I can't help saying again how much I like Eileen. I love her quirkiness, her intelligence, her eccentricity. Considering how oddly Harry came into and out of her life--and what he did to her!--she handles it all rather well. Good chapter, and I'm sorry we have to leave her. Another "10" for you, anyway!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Eileen's probably my favorite thing to have come out of writing this.  I miss her.

    Oh, poor Eileen! I feel so bad for her! She's in such a mess and Harry had to be a jerk! Poor woman! But how will Snape know if he's already dead? Will Harry go back to before Snape died and save him? Oooo! I can't wait! I'm going on to the next chappie! This was fantastic, by the way. :D

    Author's Response: Thanks, I have fond memories of this fic, especially the first three chapters.

    I found this chapter a bit confusing in places, but it was very well written. One minute I like Eileen and the next, I don't. LOL. I just wonder how Harry knew how to do that Glamour charm as I am sure he never has done it before. and that would have had to be one powerful spell to last 38 odd years. And he didn't appear to even have his wand.

    And to meet DD near the forest. I suppose he had to tell him what had to happenin the future. Though, it has happened! It seems that everything is going to keep going around and around in circles. The concept boggles my mind.

    So, Harry is going to go all the way through Hogwarts knowing that Snape is his son. See, I am totally confused.

    Still, am looking forward to reading how things transpire.

    Author's Response:

    Harry learned it in class.  With as few spells we know about from canon, they have to be learining others.  I just filled in.  Harry does have his wand, and I think power has more to do with the wizard, and Harry's quite powerful.

    Harry's meeting with AD made it possible to avoid a paradox.

    No, AD isn't going to tell him, he will know nothing.

    Thank you!

    Have I told you how much I really enjoy your characterization of Eileen Prince? You've made her such a well-realized character, it's a shame she could only be in this early part. She's quirky without being bizarre, eccentric but believable.

    Author's Response: When I first started writing this, I thought it was only going to be about ten chapters long.  Now that it's nearing thirty, I wish I'd written more time at Spinner's End, because I really liked writing Eileen.  I'm glad you like her.
