    "...you will find yourself back over my knee for a spanking that makes this one seem like a happy memory.”
    Hahaha, how very Snape-like!

    Great chapter, persons are still very well in character, good job!

    I really like your Snape and Harry too.

    I don't get it. If Harry didn't use a wand, then How did the Ministry know?
    It's been said repeatedly that wandless magic is undetectible.
    The Ministry tracks wand-magic.

    Author's Response: Hi mithrilandtj- yes, you make a good point, but this story doesn't adhere exactly to canon. For this story, Harry's use of magic- wandless or otherwise- is of great concern to the Ministry because of its implications (especially in the Muggle world). Although it is the premise on which this story is based, and the reason for Harry ending up in Snape's care, as a detail it is not extremely important to the direction the story will take. However, if this departure from canon upsets you, I suggest you not continue to read this fic.

    Aw, poor Harry. I really hope that as time goes on, that Snape understands Harry's problem a little better and has a little more patience with Harry.

    Great beginning. You keep Snape and Harry in character very well. I'm looking forward to see where you're going with the story.

    Author's Response:

    Hi Pandora! Thanks for leaving a review ;) For sure at the moment, there is a lot of tension between Snape and Harry, but I hope as the story goes along, the characters will begin to grow and learn to understand each other more. I think at the end of the Chapter, Snape tried to control himself and diffuse the situation with calm and "understanding" in the best way he could, rather than just haul off and yell at Harry. Baby steps :)

    I am really glad you think the charcters are "in character"- I'm trying really hard to capture them correctly, so it is a great compliment!!!

    I do have a question, did Harry use his wand for the damage or was it accidental magic? Not sure how the Ministry would punish for accidental magic?

    Author's Response:

    Hi hawkswench, thanks for the question ;) Well, Harry isn't using his wand, but he isn't trying very hard to control his wandless magic either. I haven't gone into great detail about what has happened, but will try to fill in the blanks as we go along. The Ministry is concerned that whether intentional or not, the wandless magic is a concern for them. Dumbledore explained to the Ministry that Harry doesn't have a lot of control over his magic at this point, which is one reason they decided not to make a terrible fuss about things and released him into the care of Dumbledore/Snape for the time being.  The Ministry's concern was leaving him with Muggles where the unintentional magic would continue to happen and be a risk for the magical world and any Muggles that might get hurt.

     

    So, basically, although Snape enjoys scaring Harry with threats about what the Ministry will do to him, the Ministry is not out to be horrible to Harry. They just want to see the wandless magic put to an end before  it gets serious.

    Harry is so cute in your story, not such a pert brat . And SS and DD are very authentic as well. Like it , thanks a lot.

    Author's Response: Hi Shana76! Harry is still kind of in shock at the moment, and without his friends around, he is slightly more reserved and less sure of himself at the moment. Hopefully as the story goes on, the characters will grow ;) Anyway, I'm really glad you like the characterizations, thanks for taking the time to review!!

    Great first chapter. I love any story that gets Harry away from the Dursleys, and this one sounds like it's going to be good! Can't wait for next post.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review missny1! Glad you think it is off to a good start, I will try to keep it interesting. New chapter coming shortly, I'm working on it now :) Harry is glad to be rid of the Dursley's,  but will find new challenges await him with Snape!
