    Is Tobias still around?

    I really like your story and am looking forward to more.

    Author's Response:

    No, sorry. I invented Snape's childhood before JK Rowling revealed it, so there isn't a Tobias (or equivalent) in this story.

    I'm really glad you like it! There is more coming soon, when real life stops being so hectic.

    Thanks for reviewing!

    Good chapter I suppose for writting it on a whim.

    Author's Response: Thank you! To be honest the whole thing is a bit of a whim... I've wanted to write a fanfic for yonks, and this idea just seemed to work, but the actual writing of chapter 1 took place while sitting outside the exam room before my med-physiology exam. I was too nervous to study any more, so I was like "OMG time to write a fanfic". and then i was like "what the hell should I write about?" and (luckily) I remembered reading this plot bunny. I'm surprised my brain was working at all after the 10hr cram session...

    This is a pretty interesting fic, so far. I can't wait to see where this goes.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I'd like to see where it goes too! If you have any ideas, stick them in a review please :). I have a bit of a plan, but plenty of details are missing.

    Poor Eileen and poor Severus, forced to labor at such a young age and for such a nasty man! I hope someone realizes what he's doing soon and helps him out. I take it Lily doesn't know why he works at the apothecary or that his master beats him.

    Author's Response:

    Gosh! Imagine Lily finding out! lol she would explode! *smirks* what a good idea! I think I will have to include it sometime :).

    I'm glad you say "poor Eileen" too, because I don't want this to be the cliched type of story where Severus' parents are evil and everyone hates them. Eileen may be a useless parent, but she isn't evil, and Severus loves her. She isn't happy with her life, and the drugs help her escape, so I can't really blame her.

    Poor Severus, yes indeed! It definitely isn't an ideal environment to grow up in. no wonder he has issues. The apothecary isn't entirely a negative though. I sort of hinted with the spelling bit, but Boris eventually teaches Severus how to read, and (in his own abrupt and critical manner) teaches him a lot about potions. There is the money too, which isn't exactly a lot, but does make a big difference to the bills. That's why Sev doesn't quit, even though Boris beats him. 

    Thanks for reviewing, by the way! 

    And I'm going to catch up with my reading of your stories soon (hooray!), now that exams are over for a little while (*dances*).

    great chapter. umm question, is there supposed to be a second chapter that just says to be continued>

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for your review!

    I'm not entirely sure whats happening with chapter 3. I uploaded it 12 hours ago.. but I think it hasn't been validated (or something like that). I'm assuming thats why the chapter looks blank - you aren't allowed to read it yet ;).

    Hopefully it will be up soon.

    This looks like a really great start. I saw it the other day and thought it looked totally different but only just got round to reading it. I'm really interested in where it's going.

    Author's Response: Thanks for your review! :) I hope you like the rest of it! More will be coming soon.

    That's to be expected, they were never nice in canon either. I like the idea that Sev works at anspothecary it makes sense since that's probably how he became excellent in potions. I liked the reference to maybe Lily and James not getting together, maybe she ends up with Sev? *hint hint* Did Sev get that black eye from the Marauders or from his father, I wonder?

    Author's Response:

    Severus and apothecaries just seem to go well together.  :)

    No way I would put Lily and James together! yuk! I'm a Sev/Lily shipper all the way! but they are 12 at the moment, so you will have to wait until they are a bit older. I consider myself an expert on 12 year old behaviour - my little sister is 12, and imho the only 12 yr olds 'dating' are doing it because it's cool and 'grown up', not because they really have any romantic feelings for one another.

    Ah, the black eye... well. I've already mentioned that I'm deviating from cannon in more than one way (just cos I felt like it). Snape has been my fav character for ages, so I already had invented a childhood for him before the later books came out. I'll just say that it couldn't have been the marauders (the black eye was already there by the time he saw them), and it wasn't his father....  Sev doesn't even know who he is.

    Really great start here, so glad you decided to pos tone of your own! I like how Dobby's powers are greater than normal.

    Author's Response:

    Yay! Thank you for reading (and your lovely reviews!). I'm glad you approve; I was a bit worried that my writing wouldn't be good enough. I've never been much of a writer and English was always my worst subject at school. These two chapters are the longest I've ever written (apart from school assignments).

    Yeh, Dobby is pretty awesomecore. and insane. I love him.
