    Loved it again! I wish someone art-wise made a drawing of the creature. Mila

    Author's Response: Thank you, now that would be interesting...

    This is just fantastic! I loved the relationship between Harry and Severus, and how close they are now. The flashback, and the explanation for how they overcame their enemity was believable and I loved how Severus immediately set about getting guardianship as soon as he knew about the Dursleys.

    The ending was my favourite part, when Severus was trying to reassure Harry that he, and Harry's friends, truly did love him and weren't going to abandon him, and then when Harry was trying to get Severus to actually say he loved him. That made me smile, but it was so sweet and almost sad in a way, too. I'm very happy that those two found each other and can be a real family for each other now.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much. I'm really glad that you enjoyed this, and that you think the ending worked. This was my first story I've written with such obvious feelings between Snape and Harry and I'm thrilled that you think it all fitted together!

    Great fic. The repeating Scriiitch…... relly is creepy and scary and totally effective. As a matter of fact my cat scared the daylights out of me while I was reading by scritching on his cat tree. He gave me a look that said "Humans!" and looked at me like I was the most pathetic creature on the planet for jumping in my seat and giving a small scream.

    I'm a Classics and Latin major and have the following suggestions on the Latin translation:

    You are using the infinitive forms of the verbs which translate as "to come" and "to destroy". Severus is commanding something to happen so you'd use the imperative forms "veni" and "dele" instead. Since the dragon is the direct object of the verbs, you need to change the genitive case huius draconis" to the accusative case "hunc draconem". Instead of "obscure" which actually translates to "by/with darkness" (ablative case) you want to use the genitive case "obscuri" which translates as "of darkness."

    So the proper translation for what you want Sev to say is: "Lux maxima, veni et dele hunc draconem obscuri!".

    And I'm sure that is more than you ever wanted to know about Latin grammar! Honestly though, I find myself automatically changing the Latin spells to their correct grammatical forms in my head when I read the books now (I know, I'm an absolute geek. Sorry!).

    Getting back to the story itself, the flashback to the day that Sev adopted Harry was simply lovely. And best of all Sev was in perfect form. Great job!

    Author's Response: Thank you - I think it's that sound that makes more of an impact than a thump or a bang - I reckon your cat did that on purpose! Thank you so much for the proper Latin translation - I adore Latin, but haven't been able to do it for a year, so your corrections are much appreciated! I never thought Sev would make much of a fuss if he was adopting Harry, and I'm glad you agree! Thanks for reviewing!

    Wow, this was a truly creepy and creative Halloween story. I'm glad Severus saved Harry from that horrid creature! The ending was really sweet too :)

    Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and that you think that I got the right balance of scary and sweet in it!

    Ah, again these little stories, that are brilliantly written, always leave me wanting more!

    BTW, I am presently hiding under my bed, because I figure that it is the only safe place from YOUR monster! ;)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you very much! Heh heh, good thinking - if it comes looking for you, try chucking salt at it (that might work!)

    Very cool story, I like the monster and the way Sev uses the word brat for Harry affectionately at the end.

    Have you checked out my Halloween fic yet, it has a monster under the bed too!

    Author's Response:

    I think I have read your fic... the one with the Barghest? It was great! I think I left a review too, I'll go and check...

    I'm glad you like my Harry/Snape interaction, and the monster was fun to write! Thank for the reivew!
