    Finally got a chance to review this1 I love Augustus and the last part with Harry blowing that raspberry was priceless.

    Severus' quoted Hermie in Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, "You can't fire me, I quit."

    Woot! My favorite movie!

    Please post the next chapter soon!

    Great chapter but I still don't understand why he didn't go to Dumbledore! Is Severus a death eater in this story?

    Author's Response: No, he isn't. He rjected Lucius' offer, see the first chapter for details, and he's just a struggling young Potions Master, has nothing to do with Voldy, Albus, the Order of the Phoenix or any kind of spying. He was never dark at all. He doesn't trust Dumbledore and he's afraid if he does reveal that he has Harry, Harry will be taken away from him, since he's poor and can't afford much. After all, Harry is the "saviour" of the wizarding world and Dumbledore thinks Muggles should take care of him instead. Harry is Sev's last link to Lily as well.

    Lovely but hasn't anyone noticed that Harry is not at home?

    Author's Response: No, it's only been twenty four hours since he's been gone and the wards wouldn't have alerted anyone that something was wrong because they only alert, at least in the book, when a DE tries to breach them. Also, they don't seem to activate if Harry is being hurt or threatened by his relatives, no one ever knew they starved him or locked him in a cupboard in the books. Or treated him like a slave, until Harry chose to tell some of it to Ron and Hermione. My guess is Dumbledore just assumed they would care for him and didn't really bother keeping too close an eye on him.

    Great fun seeing Severus try to look after a baby but why doesn't he take Harry to Hogwarts to Dumbledore?

    Author's Response: Well first it's the middle of the night Christmas Day and he's exhausted plus he doesn't really trust anyone. He's used to being on his own and trying to handle his own problems.

    I'm so glad Sev found a safety net in Augustus. This way he can keep Harry and not worry. I want them together. Love your story.

    Author's Response: Thanks and Severus was very licky. Augustus could have been another nasty one like Smithers or even Tobias. But he wasn't. I love them together too.

    Love Severus' grandfather.....very loyal to family. Why doesn't Severus do a blood adoptions, then Harry will be his son by blood??? So much of the deset?? Love Harry's parting to Severus' former boss....I almost wet my pants! Thank you for this great Christmas Story.

    Author's Response:

    Yes, that's Augustus down to a T.  He's very loyal and a traditionalist and will do almost anything for his family.

    Severus might want to do a blood adoption, but in order to so it, the adoptee (Harry) has to be able to consent and know why he's being adopted. Also there has to be a witness present who knows both parties and Severus doesn't want anyone to know that he has Harry. 

    OMG, you didn't! Thanks so much! I have updated again!

    Lovely chapter. I loved Augustus. Somehow I don't think he's going to be that easy to get along with. An older person who hasn't been around a baby in a while tends to forget what mess-making, poo monkeys they are.

    I like that the house elf spoke standard English. In that house, I'm sure it's required for them to do so.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Author's Response:

    You're right. He's not all that easygoing and Severus and Harry will have to learn how to compromise a bit.

    Yes, it is. The Prince house elves are very much like beloved English retainers in all those Victorian novels.  They are almost like members of the family and so speak correct English. Augustus values proper speech and he is very formal when he wants to be.

     

    You're welcome and I've posted again so enjoy!

    I love that movie and couldn't resist having a quote from it in here.

    Wonderful chapter! I like Granpa Snape. So, will Sev wip up an adoption potion of some sort to "make sure" no one can take the imp from him? Might be a good idea for our paranoid Papa.

    Thanks for the update!

    Author's Response:

    If he could, he would do so, but . .  well you'll see what happens.

    You're welcome!
