    Very intriguing beginning, can't wait to see where it goes.

    Wow, I like what you've done with the premise. I'm off to the next chapter.

    Author's Response: Thank you! It took me ages to find a good starting point and run with it... Glad you like!

    I am a bit confused about times. I presumed that it was still the summer holidays when HArry was going down to the dungeons to help Snape...that there was no other students at Hogwarts.

    That was why I was surprised when DD said Harry had to keep up with his schooling and then Snape derided hArry for not knowing the charm. Obviously school has started again because Harry has Umbridge for defence.

    This is beautifully written: grammer, spelling, syntax, but I don't think that James and Lily, nor the other Marauders were shocked enough to discover that Harry is James and Lily's son, before the Concealment Charm was cast at least. They were very blase, almost as if they come across their son from the future every other day. It is also a little disconcerting to find that time travel is such a common occurence that there is a set of rules to go by.

    The time travel will not be a happy time for Harry I imagine, because he will find out what nasty pieces of work his father and Sirius were at school. We haven't met the schoolboy Severus yet, but I imagine he will be the totally innocent party if there are any confrontations between the Maruaders and him. A bit sad that HArry will probably end up hating his father, ostensibly before he is even born! if that makes sense.

    Author's Response:

    I didn't mention it in the actual story, but I did make a note at the beginning that the story takes place in October/November time in both eras - the first section of the story was more of a recap than anything else.

    According to JKR time travel IS a semi-regular occurence (if only by a few hours) - I was only borrowing from her rules of time-turners found in book 3. Snape simply understood that all time-travel had the same principal whether it be by years or hours. And yes, what happened to them was an anomaly.

    I completely understand your point (well, both of them) and if the challenge had been written in my own time instead of over a month, I would have made the reactions more pronounced and the story a lot darker. However, it is as it is, and I hope you can enjoy despite the overall fluffy undertones. Thank you for your review!

    Well, that was unexpected, to say the least! Will they meet the young Severus as well? And I can see Lily being shocked, after all, she really doesn't care for James at this point.

    Author's Response: I daresay Harry was just as surprised :D Oh, absolutely - there's no way I could write a fic with two Snapes without them both coming into the picture at some point!

    Very interesting! I am such a sucker for time-travel fics and I can tell this one is going to be good. I can't wait to find out exactly what's up with Lily (maybe she likes Sev--speaking of which, is there a younger Sev just waiting to be discovered?) I'm off to read more!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Heh - glad to hear that you liked it this early in! Hope you also enjoyed young Snape when you got to him (he was fun to write).

    Wow! This is great! I love that Snape is still snarky, but Harry as learnt to "manage" him. Very Slytherin.

    I can't wait to read the next chapter. It must be so hard for Harry to have to be friendly with Pettigrew, knowing what the boy will turn into.

    Author's Response: Aw, thank you - I've found that I like writing snarky!Snape just as much (if not more) than slightlysoftie!Snape, so I'm glad you liked him (and Harry's reactions to him!) I daresay Harry's Slytherin side is coming in to play with Pettigrew too...

    It is nearly painful to see Pettigrew like this (and know what will happen in a few years...). Mila

    Author's Response: I know - it made me sad writing that bit :(
