    brilliant. please update asap. I am quite taken with this story and would be grateful if you'd hurry in updating so I can read some wicked sick snape-harry interactions.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks, I'm glad you like it so much!  Well, I had only originally had the four chapters when I started uploading them here, now I've got the fifth worked out, but it still needs tweaking.  I'm sorry, but I'm quite slow at writing, too.  With college and the end of the semester coming up, papers to write, and this, I'll type as much as I can when the mood strikes me.

    Oh, next chapter is one big Severus-Harry interaction.  I'm pretty sure you'll really like it, if you've liked the story so far, but you'll have to wait a bit.  Sorry.

    But thank you for reviewing, and I'll try to type as much as I can!

    Lovely chapter! You've done such a good job on showing Severus' past, and I feel so sorry for young Sev, having to grow up with abusive father. I love how you show his doubts and fears about claiming Harry. I love how he doesn't want to upset the boy's life, but at the same time can't resist his son (who could?).

    I loved their first meeting, and of course, Harry wants to escape from the Dursleys, but it looks like he and his father can build a loving relationship and help one another heal. It was just perfect when Harry flung his arms around Sev...I could just imagine Severus' surprise, but I was so happy he was able to return the gesture, too, and to open his heart.

    Can't wait for more!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much!  I'm really excited that you liked this chapter.

    And you're right, who could resist those adorable green eyes.  *sigh*  But Sev does really have a lot of things to work out, he was really only half expecting that Harry would come live with him.

    It's true that Harry initially jumped at the chance to get away from the Dursleys but then really thought that perhaps this man could be worse than them, but he's not going to do anything wrong to make this man angry, so maybe he won't be.

    And I loved that hug too.  Little Harry's got his moments of extreme adorable-ness, and Sev was sucked in on that one.  And this more than anything shows just how much he wants to be a father, and a good one at that.

    Thanks for the review!

    Interesting story.
    I like the fact that you're writing this with a lot of Severus' POV. I did think it was kind of sad that Lily didn't have more trust in Severus. I hope you are going to give us more background on why she was living with Potter and if she and Sev were happy before he joined the DE's.

    Please keep writing.

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you're intrieged!  I really am trying to keep it even between using Sev's point of view along with Harry's.

    It's true, Lily didn't trust Sev much, but she was willing to talk to him again, just before she died, and that speaks volumes.  I find her to be incredibly stoubborn...just like Sev.

    Yup, more background on Lily, James, Severus, and Harry coming up, not really sure when but it will definatly be covered...sometime.

    Believe me, I'm writing.  Not as fast or as often as I'd like, but I am.

    Thanks for reviewing!

    I loved how Harry and Snape met. That was wonderful. You had them both acting so realistically. I loved Petunia's thrilled expression as she learned Harry was going to be leaving. Very good chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter!!

    I'm also estatic that you found these guys in character...and Petunia as well.  She was extremely happy to have Harry leave, but that's probably because she didn't realize that he wouldn't be there to clean her house anymore.  Oh well.

    Thanks again!  And thanks for the review!!

    Well, first of all, how dare you blame me for your procrastination! :oP Well, all right...blame me if you must. *weary sigh* On, with the review!

    "but could not anticipate the boy jumping to his feet and throwing his tiny arms around Severus’ neck. Shocked into silence and unable to move, Severus sat there for a few seconds until his arms loosened and made their way around Harry’s small torso. My son." Awww. I love that part. It's so sweet. I'm so glad Severus just went right in there and asks Harry if he wants to come with him. I really wish he would punch Vernon in the face on his wait out though. Stupid Vernon.

    I really like how you put their thoughts in here so much. It's fun to be inside their minds a bit.

    I really hate Tobias too. What a horrid man. I liked the flashback scene though and how you've made Severus strong here, even as a child. It makes me respect him so much more. And that nightmarish part with Voldemort was really quite creepy. Brrrr....

    I liked that Harry right away noticed that this man called him Harry and I like how you have Severus noting little things are a "tad odd". Those Dursleys are off, aren't they? Yuck. I'm glad Harry is going to go with Sev! YAY! Can't wait to see the two of them together at Severus' house. This should be fun!

    Author's Response:

    Because of you and your beautiful ending to the LC world (as we know it...for now) I neglected that part of my brain devoted to memories in favor of the frontal lobe (I think that's where analytical thinking takes place!) to discover all the hidden secrets burried within your chapter...which didn't do me any good, as I'm pretty sure I didn't find any and I forgot to update that night.  So, it's your fault.

    Dursley definatly needs a good punch in his fatty face...if he could even feel it, that is.  *shrug*  But believe me, Sev's got some tricks up his sleeve for when he figures out how horribly Harry's been treated...

    I seriously think I put their thoughts in so much because it's so fun to be in there...and being sarcastic is always fun...

    Yup.  Tobias is worthy of hatred.

    And Voldie is creepy.

    Harry was quite surprised to hear his first name be said without preamble in the sitting room, and I'm fairly sure Sev was a little surprised as well.  Hopefully it won't be long before Sev finally starts putting the pieces together, the major one being that the Dursleys were odd.  Hopefully.

    Yay!  Spinner's End here we come!!  I'm excited for them to finally get there!  I just don't know what's going to happen when they do, but it will definatly be fun...

    Thanks, OE!

    I absolutely love this story. The glimpse into Severus' childhood was poignant, yet I appreciated how you interjected his thoughts after every one of his father's comments. It's just how I imagine Severus would think... Awesome job with that.

    And now, I can't wait to see what is going to happen when Harry goes to live with Severus. Your Snape, by the way, is perfectly in character, and I am anxious to see how his and Harry's relationship grows from here.

    This is fantastic!

    Author's Response:

    I'm so glad you like it!  It's really a fun story to write.

    Sev's childhood was horrible but important to the story, and truth be told, it was a blast coming up with responces for him to say in his head!  I'm really glad that it's how you think Sev would think and act too.  That's the thing I struggle with the most, is keeping him in character, he never seems to be for me.  But, as long as you think so, I'm happy!!

    Hee hee, oh, chaos will ensue for sure!  I can't wait for you to read the next chapter!  You've got me quite giddy...

    Thanks so much for the review!!

    Awwwwww! I loved the part where Harry throws his arms around Severus' neck and for a few seconds Severus is too shocked to respond. I have a feeling there will be a lot of responses from Harry as they get to know each other that will confound Severus to no end.

    And yeah! No more horrid Dursleys!

    Keep up the good work!

    Author's Response:

    I like that part too...it's so touching...awkward!Snape is fun to play with too!

    Oh, yes, there will be a lot of "What?!?" moments from Sev coming up, don't worry!

    No Dursleys!  Well, except for when Sev pays them a little visit later on...hee hee.

    Glad you're liking it!  It seriously makes me really excited!  Thanks!!

    Yay! Sev has come to take Harry away from those stupid Dursleys. I hope that Sev will turn around and come back to hex Vernon after he sees Harry's back. I would love to see a scene like that! Anyway, this was an excellent chapter filled with really good emotions for the charcaters. Hope you can update again soon!

    Author's Response:

    Belive me, Sev won't let the Dursleys get away with treating Harry as they have...when he finds out.

    I'm really glad you liked this chapter, it was fun to get inside their heads for a bit.

    Thanks for the review!
