Oooooo, very nice! I'm really enjoying this! Keep it coming!
Author's Response: Thank you!! I'm working on it :-)
You have created a very interesting Harry. He's much more defiant and untrusting of adults than in canon, but this of course is entirely believable and probably more realistic for an abused child. Your Snape is very canon. I couldn't believe that Snape felt that he had fulfilled his mentorship "talk" responsibilities by telling Harry to come to him whenever he needed help, but also threatening Harry with copious punishments. Only Snape could do this!!
And your cliffie is an awful one! lol
Author's Response: LOL thanks and sorry! I hate cliffies, too, but I really couldn't avoid it if I ever wanted to get this chapter up.
Oh, this is going to be good. Snape is going to go ballistic
Let the war really begin.
I like this Hermione much better than the book's git
Author's Response: Thanks! I just do my best. And you're absolutely right. The war has only begun.

Wow, that was hard to read. In a good way, of course. I really like this story. It's different, in a way that has me intrigued. I love the thoughts swirling around in both of their heads. And even when I'm thinking Harry is too angry, I realize he's really not since it's mostly pretending, even to himself, that he's a tough guy. Poor kid. I really hope there's an emotional breakdown in his future. Stories with an abused Harry are so prevalent, but this one strikes me like the others don't. It's unique, though I can't quite explain why. It's quite good. And I love your Snape. Anyway, sorry for rambling. Great work. Can't wait for more.
Author's Response: Thank you so much!! Don't worry - I LOVE long reviews and you said the nicest things!!

Hey, interesting start for a story. I like Severus in this; he's different than most takes on Snape. Looking forward to more.
Loved it, especially calling Malfoy "smarmy" he definitely is in canon! And I like how Harry told off Ron for his unreasoning prejudice. The potions class was hilarious too. Can't wait for the talk between Severus and Harry!
Author's Response: Hey I never responded to this!! I'm such an idiot. Thanks!! And yeah...I also just like that word. :-)

Ooh, interesting! Really good beginning. I like your characterizations of Snape and Harry - they are definitely not quite the stereotypical characters - there is something fresh in both of them. I especially liked the way you maintaned Snape's bastardliness on the outside as far as Harry can tell, yet gently teased out his uncertainty and vulnerabilities for us to see in just a few short paragraphs. And I really like the way you have Harry's sass and bitterness masking a vulnerability he isn't even aware of yet. Very subtle! I'm looking forward to the continuation.
Author's Response: Why didn't I respond to this right away? W/e I'm an idiot. This review made me really happy. 'Subtle' is hard to achieve, most times. :-)
i love, love, loved the talk between Severus and Dumbledore. How wonderful.
I felt that Harry is a little too introspective for his character. After reading the books and having basically a blank look at his character, this very detailed introspective Potter seems out of character. I much prefer reading from Snape's point of view.
i am enjoying your story and am looking forward to the meeting between Snape and Harry! :) Thanks for sharing this story with us!
Author's Response: Thanks a lot! rnrnHarry is OOC on purpose - I've changed his past life pretty radically and so couldn't leave his character the same, even if I wanted to. My Harry is also a very private character, slow to trust and with a lot to hide, and so in order to give any insight onto who he is I've made him introspective.
What an interesting twist on things.
I like that you haven't turned Ron against Harry and that not all of the Snakes are against Harry having a Gryffie friend.
I'm adding this to my Faves so I can keep up with your story. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm enjoying it so far, too!
