    I aboslutely loved the first chapter. This story really caught my attention and I loved the way you set up Harry's attack.
    The only irritation I have is regarding Snape's references to Ron acting like a Slytherin. I hate it when writers make casual remarks to the slightest deviance Hermione, Ron, or even Harry (when I usually love concepts that deal with Harry accepting his personality traits that are represented from the serpent house) have and are likened to the Slytherin house by prominent members.
    Ron's plan surprisingly had an undertone of Slytherin, so the remark only slightly grated (having read too many badly written fics). I was impressed by how well he pulled that off while staying in character.

    Author's Response: I'll be interested in what you think of the conversation Snape and Ron have in a later chapter about the need to embrace ALL aspects of your personality - Gryffindor traits, Slytherin traits, and so on. Thanks for reviewing and I hope you continue to enjoy the story. :)

    Wow this story just keeps getting better and better. It's wonderfully written, and everyone is nice and in character, which probably wasn't easy to do with snape and the whole biscuit arrangement lol.
    Can't wait for the next chapter!!

    Author's Response: Thanks very much! I really appreciate your kind words. I really try to keep them in character, so it's great to hear when someone thinks I've succeeded. :)

    I am really liking it so far! I think Snape may be just a tad OC, but in this case it is a good thing, as you've changed the others for precisely that amount too so it works great! I am looking forward to more!

    Oh the one tiny issue I have is I have no clue how old they are. I understood 12 from the beginning but you are mentioning things that are from older years in the books, so am just a tad confused.

    Author's Response: I appreciate your taking the time to review! Thanks for your kind words, and I hope you enjoy the rest too. :) They are indeed 12, but since this is an AU story, don't be thrown if some knowledge doesn't adhere strictly to canon timelines. :) Hope that helps!

    Interesting so far, but I am confused on several parts. What year are they in and how old are they? I've seen references to them being 12 but that doesn't make sense with other parts such as the one about Harry having nightmares. There was a scene in the last chapter that made it sound like Harry was having visions, but that should've started when he was like 15, not 12. I'm a little confused, but other than that, this has been pretty good so far.

    Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write and share your questions. Sorry that it is confusing to you. They are indeed 12, but in this AU, Harry started "tuning in" to Voldemort after they met over the Philosopher's Stone and it became clear that he needed to start training to learn how to defeat him (including occlumency) earlier than in canon timelines. That's why Snape got involved in his welfare and their relationship began to develop. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough in the 1st chapter - thanks for asking!

    I like this!! I thought at first that you were skimming too quickly over how Snape and Harry got past their past, but I see now that there is still plenty of angst to be had. (LOL) It's very sad but predictable that Harry thinks Snape only pretends to care about him to get the job of training him done.

    Good job.

    Author's Response: Thank you for taking the time to review. I know what you mean - I've thought of writing a "prequel" about how they settled down into their routine, but for this one, I just wanted to start off with a relationship in place. :)

    I think I've read this on fanfiction.net. I just wanted to let you know how much I love Ron's line about how if they go through so much trouble to hold you down and smack you, you should at least let them know you notice. Great Ron line, something I could see him saying.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! :) It's always nice to hear that you're keeping the dialogue in character!
