    I'll be honest I'm so confused. He has the paperwork and the pensive memories.... Legally, his right as harrys potter is well established. what right could the headmaster of a school have to remove him? Especially since dumbledore has already gone on record as saying severus was a spy, so it's not like he could turn it back

    Sorry but no. It simply isn't realistic, to put it mildly, that suddenly oh let's get Severus married because ... whatever. OC's of this kind never ever fit and they are always completely pointless. Too bad, seemed like an excellent story. Best of luck.

    Author's Response:

    I would be lying if I were to say that I am not disappointed in losing a reader.  However, considering that you immediately judge an original character before having actually met said character seems to be a premature reason for not continuing with a story which gave off an initially excellent impression.  While I do understand the caution of a reader when encountering original characters, it is a little harsh and extremely judgmental to dismiss such a character as pointless without having read anything about the character as a character.  As indicated in the notes, she is not romantically attached to any of the characters.  She functions in plot and in the interactions of other characters, and serves a completely logical function to the story's events.  Had you chosen to continue, that would have become apparent.  I'm sorry you feel that way and have chosen to discontinue reading.  However, thank you for leaving a review. ~ RK

    I thought I reviewed this chapter already but I guess I didn't. Well I really like this story and I'm glad Tevin was found. :)

    Author's Response: Thank you for the review!  I'm so happy you are enjoying it so far!  Hope you like the next chapter, too!

    Another great chapter...well written!! But who is Ophelia Fay and how does she know Severus? Maybe she's a fellow student in Severus's Potions Mastery. Or a girl captured by deatheaters and saved by our famous Spy...Hmmmm so many possibilities.... Can't wait for more!!

    Author's Response: You are just throwing the guesses out there, aren't you!  Well, you may be right, close, or way off, but you'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out.  (I can say though, that it is one of the longer ones!)  Your questions/guesses will be answered sometime in the beginning of the coming week.  Sit tight.  Thanks for your review and for reading!  Makes me happy and makes me *smile!*

    I'm happy with no Mary Sue or any real romance actually. I was planning on having a similar character, but with a lot less major part, so huzzah to you! I'm sure she'll be great!

    And Sev in potions class is always fun. *evil grin* I like it when he's...smug? ^-^ But I was also pleased with his concern and anger there. Liked that a lot. I really liked the opening paragraph too.

    And poor little Tevin! Ran off. Children will do that, no mistakes made. And poor Remus, got the blunt end of it all. Poor guy. But yay that Severus apologized.

    Very good chapter, and I'm anxious to meet Ophelia Fay! Ten points to you! :D

    Author's Response: Yeah, once again, poor Remus.  It was horrible for him since he's not even supposed to be in Hogwarts, and when Tevin ran off, he couldn't go and find him.  Remus will have a good day soon.  Yes, Severus in potions class is also fun to write being all snarky and moody about it.  Glad you are liking it and still with me on it.  (Should be posting the next chapter...around Monday-ish if all goes well over here.)  Thanks for the review!  *big smile*

    No matter how much authors claim their originals are not Mary Sue's, they always end up being Mary Sues. No matter how many 'token' flaws are added or how 'well' they develop the character, the result is the same: a shallow intruder that doesn't quite fit into the established word of Harry Potter. Of course in your story Harry is no longer Harry. Thanks for the warning. You've got a good story started, but it's just not my cup of tea. Keep writing.

    Author's Response: I respect your skepticism here.  If I were not the author, but another reader, I would probably share your skepticism.  All I can say is to trust me.  Sorry it's not your "cup of tea," but thanks for reviewing anyway.  It's nice to hear the flip side of readers' views.  Hope you continue to read, but if it is still not exactly your style, that's okay.  Thanks for reading up to this point at least.  *grin*

    Poor Harry! um Tevin! lol
    I feel bad for Remmy he's getting so tired and frustrated! Can't wait to meed Ophelia! Hopefully she's nothing like the Ophelia from Hamlet o.0

    Author's Response: Yeah I love beating Remus up...It's too fun.  He's so delightful to write a little worn out.  And as to Ophelia being like the suicidal one in Hamlet...No.  Nothing like that.  (Personally, I am not that much of a Shakespeare fan, so my inspirations will come elsewhere...)  I just liked the name.  I don't even remember how I came up with it, acually.  I liked it, and went with it.  But, no, not like Hamlet's Ophelia.  Thanks for reading and reviewing!  *smile*

    Oh, I'm so excited to see this this OC. This should be interesting. Can't wait too see what Ophelia is like

    Poor little Harry/Tevin. he doesn't know what's going on. Nice chapter.

    Author's Response: Yeah, the little tyke is confused and a little scared now, but he'll get better.  Even he couldn't take the suite anymore!  He had to break free, and found the outside world is scary!  I can't wait to hear your views on Ophelia.  Very excited/nervous about introducing her.  But!  Won't know until it's posted, right?  Okay, off to write a bit more today.  Thanks for reading and reviewing again!  I love your reviews!

    Wow, I loved the baby scare and how panicked Severus got. Very impressive. Don't worry about your character being a Mary Sue. Really, very few are, but there will always be someone who accuses you of it (I have lot's of experience with this). Don't listen to them though--an original character shows that you dare to think outside of the box and add to the HP world. Not every author is willing to try it, so count yourself happily amongst those who are creative and brave enough to do so.

    I look forward to more!

    -P.G.

    Author's Response: Oh, Thank you!  I love getting your reviews!  I'm glad you are still reading!  And thanks for the reassurances there about the Mary Sue thing.  (I mean, I even took a test that told me whether or she was one or not, it it said she definitely wasn't, so it made me feel a little better.)  Looking forward to your feelings about her after the next chapter.
