Bloody brilliant. I have spent the last two days reading the first story and this sequel--I would have left a review at the end of each chapter, but I was too enthralled, too desperate to get to the next chapter to do so. I'm anxious to find out what happens to Shadow--even though his whole plotline in general is a bit weirder and overly AU than I like my fanfics as a whole, I find myself caring about the little mirror-image. And I certainly care about Snape and Sirius--I'd really like to see them come to an understanding. I've never really thought about it before, but Sirius and Snape really are a lot alike. No wonder they're my two favorite characters. I'd really like Sirius to come to that realization, and to explain to Snape why he hated him so much. I have a distinct feeling that in the way that Harry's neglect and abuse likely mirrors Draco's neglect and abuse (that I've always rather suspected was there, anyway), I believe that Snape's childhood situation likely mirrors Sirius' in the same way. Though Sirius grew up in a pureblood household, I wouldn't doubt that he had a similar childhood to Snape's, minus the bad clothes. I'd really like to see the two of them going through this on their mission. Anyway, this story is absolutely fantastic so far. I will be sorely disappointed if it is not promptly updated. :P

Author's Response: Thank you very much! Wow, two days? I'm glad you liked it so much! Hmm, yes the whole AU thing is starting to annoy me too, but I think I've finally - hopefully - just about got it back on track to making sense again! Oh, I love both Snape and Sirius too - and I'll certainly have fun with them over the next couple of chapters ;) And yes, there will be more about Draco as well soon! And the awaited for update should be really soon (sorry for taking so long!)
Great to see an update :) cool chappie
Author's Response: ;) Glad you enjoyed!
I am curious about the letter. I also wonder if there will be a chapter about the mission - Sev and Siri's interaction is always interesting... Mila
Author's Response: Ah yes, both of those will be in the next chapter (which hopefully will be up on Monday!) Thanks for reviewing ;)
It's a cliffhanger because we don't know what Severus wrote to Harry in the letter. ;-}
The story is still amazing, and I can't wait to read the next chapter. ;-}

Author's Response: Too true... But the letter will be in the next chapter! I'm so glad you're still enjoying, and thanks for your review ;)
Great chapter! I don't think that Harry will have an easy time telling them that Snape is actually Remus under polyjuice. The scene when Snape cut off his hair for polyjuice potion was rather amusing.
Author's Response: Thank you! Ah, yes, he might have some difficulties there... Lol - I couldn't resist writing a Snape with short hair - it crept up on me! Glad you're enjoying ;)
Slow pace? Sad day. I did enjoy this chapter, though I'm a bit worried about what might happen to Snape on the mission. No matter what the letter says, I imagine he'll still wish he had apologized to Severus before he left. I really hope Harry reads the letter next chapter--I'm dying to know what it says!
Great work!
-P.G.
Author's Response: Actually, the next chapter should be going up surprisingly soon (and yes, it does contain the mysterious letter!) As always, glad you're enjoying and thanks for reviewing ;)
Oh I so so happy that you've updated. I feel so bad for Harry that things were left unresolved between him and Snape though.
I wish that Harry could get a message to him. I hope that Severus is not hurt or anything before Harry can tell him how much he still wants to be his son.
Author's Response: Oh, thank you! I have indeed got a plan for those two to communicate (though rudimentarily (is that even a word?!)) So thank you for reviewing, and I'm really glad you enjoyed! The next chapter should be going up sooner than I anticipated, so stay tuned ;)

I love it! I adore the whole story, but haven't reviewed before because I had to read on. Fingers crossed for Shadow! I really adore him, and hope he does manage to find a way back. I think it would be interesting for Shadow to appear back in the mirror, maybe as he enters the gray mist, and for Harry to see him and shout or something, then have to look away very briefly for whatever reason -maybe Shadow can't talk and Harry closes his eyes to reach for his magic- and for Shadow to then be gone. LOL, clearly I have put a lot of thought into this. I can't stop thinking about it, about what might happen next. Anyway, that might be a breaking point at which Harry then talks to Snape, maybe the meeting could be in the bathroom before a potions class, and Snape makes him tell him what's wrong... LOL, sorry, rambling. Whatever you do is bound to be incredibly brilliant, just like the rest of the story! *sighs* Harry and Snape are both idiots! But I like what you've done, even if it is bound to hurt Harry when he thinks that Snape doesn't want him and is relived to be able to get rid of him, and that it also hurts Snape, BUT, that said, on the whole I'm sure it will all turn out excellently - well, I hope! - and they will FINALLY talk! You have a brilliant talent! You portray the emotions that Harry especially is feeling exceptionally well, and the reader really feels for him ad understands exactly what he is doing, and why. I hope we get a bit from Snape's point of view as he thinks back on exactly what Harry has said, and what he meant by it. I also hope we see Sirius soon! And that Snape is there when him and Harry meet, though that would hurt him it would be good to see what he thought of it. And I hope when we do see Sirius Harry defends Snape against him, and I hope Ron finally gets Harry to talk, maybe he says something that sounds like Shadow, or Ron was there in the bathroom from the rant I had earlier when Harry sees Shadow in the mirror. LOL, don't pay attention to this ranting, I just can't stop thinking about it! The point of my review was to tell you how in character everything from Snape and Harry has been, that you have written an ingenious plotline that I adore, and that the idea of MirrorVerse is incredible, and I love that Universes are people. On the whole, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE, AND YOUR STORY IS ONE OF THE BEST I'VE EVER READ!!!! Please update soon!!!!
Author's Response: Thank you SO much for your lovely review - I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to read. It's brilliant that you're enjoying the story so much and thanks for all the possible ideas you threw in. You actually helped me clarify some points in my own mind, and even give me a couple of ideas (though they will turn out slightly different from your suggestions, I hope you will enjoy them anyway). Oh, and the bit about Harry catching a glimpse of Shadow? That is almost like what happens in a Very-Exciting-Scene I have planned for later. However, I will not spoil it for you now. I hope you continue to enjoy!

More - I need More!
Why do I even start reading unfinished stories, when I never have the patience..?
Really good story so far.
I really hope Severus and Harry will have a talk soon. All this thinking they know what the other is feeling and no one speaking up... Males!
Author's Response: *scampers off to type* I'm working on it, promise! I'm glad you're enjoying so far - though Harry and Snape really are hopeless at the moment, aren't they? *rolls eyes*
Huh, you're not the evil author I thought you'd be. I thought for sure Kai would turn out to be on the wrong side, especially since you were so ambiguous with him. Will we be seeing him again or is that the end of his character?
I look forward to reading more about Harry and Severus. I hope Severus doesn't get hurt on this mission, because Harry might then regret his choice on how to treat Severus. I'm worried about those boys--update soon!
-P.G.
Author's Response: It was very tempting... but I decided to be good - it would have made Shadow's part too long to fit into the story properly :( Hopefully I'll be able to get back to writing the next bit soon (more developments on the Harry/Severus side coming up...)!
