I absolutely adored this story. I would love to see more of their lives. It's not often that we get to see Snape and Dumbledore get ting the mickey taken out of them. Really enjoyable story.

I rarely save short stories because I already have an alarmingly large HP story collection but I had to keep this one. It's THAT good. And made me laugh even though the reason that Harry ended up coming to Snape was serious. I wonder how he associated Snape with snakes. Perhaps he remembered being introduced to Snape when Lily convinced him to agree to being Harry's godfather.
Lovely. My favourite part was Harry's interest in poor Fawkes and his 'duck man'. Funny little story, but I was terribly saddened at the abuse Harry had suffered; it definitely brought down my mood several degrees. But at least there's a happy ending. :) Well done!
Oh hilariously cute! I'm guessing whoever came up with the prompt of 'duck' didnt have that in mind at all but are probably delighted you could create this from it ^^
Cannot stop laughing - good snake indeed ^^
I love your snapes (haha I say that like you keep a bunch of them in a box somewhere ^^)
Your fics are so brilliant, cant wait to (hopefully) read more (will keep my fingers crossed for the irresistible plot bunny bug to bite you again ^-^)
have fun x
Absolutely delightful! I could nearly feel baby Harry squirming in my own arms as I read it! Only one small thing. Six lines up from the bottom, (beginning: “Headmaster Potter,” Severus sighed. “That’s all we need.”) The word 'different' gets followed by either "than" or "from", rather than 'to'. So the next line should be amended, as in: "Although it had to be admitted that there were times when a toddler in charge wouldn’t seem much different THAN (or FROM) Albus in charge." Other than that, a perfect little story! Thank you for all your work!
Cute. Funny and an interesting use of the prompts.

This is gorgeous! Harry is absolutely adorable in this and your portrayal of Albus and Severus are very accurate - I like!
Aww that was really cute! I loved baby Harry and sneaky Albus and the protective Severus.
I love the way that Harry names everything and the way the Severus reacted to his naming. And Duck is a wonderful nickname from the Headmaster, he is most definitly quackers.
