Reviews For The Summer

    That last bit was so sweet. I loved the whole chapter, actually. But that last bit was unexpected and made me smile. Your reason for Snape becoming Harry's guardian is a good one and not one I've seen before. I loved the conversation with Hermione and how he told her that Ron wouldn't believe Snape wasn't being cruel. I also liked how you had Hermione more true to form than I believe many other stories do. I don't think she'd rush to be happy for Harry that he's stuck with Snape. Not after she'd experienced years of Snape's abuse (or near abuse) of Harry. She'd more likely be worried that Harry was being mistreated than pleased that he was with such an exemplary man, the same man who'd made that awful remark about her teeth that day. It's a very good story so far, keeping to canon very well. Snape is great too, I should have mentioned that first thing. Harry is also very realistic and not a cringing, nightmare ridden pile of needy goo. Good story!

    A very nice start to a promising story! I like the way you write Harry - I refuse to believe that he would act like a spoilt child in Snape's care after the abuse and neglect he got at the Dursleys. Unfortunately, many authors seem to think it would be logical for him to act up... It's higly unlikely and I like your take much better! He would keep a low profile and be as little annoying as possible, just like you descriped! I'm really looking forward to the next part.

    My thoughts exactly! Harry is not suicidal to poke Snape with a stick :) (I have read many stories where Harry was very defiant. It sometimes sounded a bit unrealistic. However, I must say that their rows were fun to read.) Thank you! Mila

    Hello! I love this new stroy, especially the interaction between Snape and Harry : they tip-toe around each other and try to get on. I like that they don't immedialtely get close. And I also like Harry's characterisation and how you described his grief about Sirius's death.

    Author's Response: Ah, thank you! You descibed they relationship exactly the way I tried to write it! Now I know I succeeded to convey what I wanted. Best wishes, Mila

    Seems Harry finally got an enjoyable summer. I'm glad he and Snape both tried and succeeded to cooperate with each other, it sure made things easier for the two of them to not bite heads off :D I like that you made them civil and not overly friendly, it makes the situation more realistic.

    I'm also glad that Harry will be getting a new and much improved guardian. Hopefully they can continue to get along and maybe continue improving their relationship.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your review! I always thought that Harry would try to get on with Snape - he knows only too well how much power a guardian holds over him... And Snape, well, he wants to relax a bit during summer (plus I think somewhere deep in his soul he knew he shouldn't be too cruel and hurt Harry when the boy is suffering over Sirius' demise - even if Severus doesn't realise it himself. Consciously, he simply knows that pushing Potter too much would break him and Severus would suffer from Harry' hysterical fits and he would be blamed by everyone.) Mila

    I just wildly enjoyed this story! A decent Snape who is shocked into agreeing to be Harry's guardian. I loved the next to last line about being bent to the headmaster's will:)

    Author's Response: Generally, I don't like Dumbledore much because of his being a grand manipulator. Well, here I let him manipulate my fav characters to their benefits, so I guess I can forgive him his interference :)  Thank for your review! Mila

    Pretty well-written, and believable in its build-up to Snape and Harry's tolerance of each other!

    Author's Response: Thank you very much, Mila

    *facepalm* I am an idiot - I've just spotted an error I forgot to mark down in the first line. Instead of 'considering the first Snape's words' it's meant to be 'considering Snape's first words'. *sigh* Anyway, I still absolutely love this story - the breaks in it keep it choppy and stops it from dragging any and the ideas in it are presented in an original way - I can't wait to find out what you have planned for the sequel. Any fighting Voldy in it? Great job :)

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! It wouldn't be published without you! I will try and repair that sentence. *waves* Mila
