    Poor boys; they are so confused. If they could only stop arguing they might find a solution to their 'problem. I think that RoR is attempting to force them to see that their constant fighting accomplishes nothing.

    Great chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Silverstargirl,

    Yeah, they are hehe. True, their fighting isn't helping much at all! And perhaps that is a goal, but remember the name of it, it's the Room of Requirement so yeah. Thanks and glad to hear it, thank-you for the review!

    Hi there ^^
    My engilsh isnt too good so I'll try to meke myself as understantable as possible. I liked it, really. Can not wait for more ;) The first Time I've readed it there was some confusing tense switches but now I see you've fixed that so its much better now. I like the description though now we all know whats gonna to happen, well sorta.. Try to be more mysterious - you know so you can interest more pple :D
    Good luck with writting ;d
    Ps: Betareader is really good idea - if you want your text better, not only in grammar but also in text itself. I always use help of Betareader and Im pretty pleased with that. Anyway take care ^^

    Author's Response:

    Kagome-chan@o2.pl,

    Your English isn't too bad, I could understand what you were saying :P. I'm glad you like it and I shall be updating soon enough. Yes, sorry about that...as you said, I have fixed the tense issue now so yeah. Actually, the description doesn't really tell very much. Only the aim of the story and brief parts, there is so much more involved so I can ensure you that it's still quite mysterious. Thanks. And I do not wish to use a beta.

    You too, thanks for the review!

    -Mel :)

    Nice start! I am sure that Snape suspects that something is up. Surely they won't be able to keep his suspicions at bay? Will they? I liked the descriptions of the rooms, especially Harry's. Great beginning. :)

    Author's Response:

    Jan_AO,

    Thanks! Yes, Snape is no fool, he is sure to notice something is up with them. And with all their fighting? No, Snape isn't an idiot, especially if that's not how his sons normally act around each other. Glad you liked the descriptions, any particular reason why Harry's is your favourite of the two? Thanks, and thank-you for the review!

    Hehehe.. love it! Those boys must be so out of their element right now! I like the idea that Dobby is along for the ride. i do wonder, however, what exactly happened to them. What did the room do?

    Author's Response:

    Jan_AO,

    Thanks, happy to hear it. And yes they are, hehe. I too thought Dobby was a nice touch. Obviously for plot reasons I won't tell you what exactly the room did, however think upon this: It is called the Room of Requirement, is it not? ;). Thanks for the review.

    -Mel :)

    Love the concept of the whole story and love these two chapters. Looking forward to harry and draco being brothers and sev being their dad.

    Author's Response:

    Missny1,

    Thanks, I'm thrilled to hear that. Yeah, this is only the first part where things aren't real but they're given a glimpse of what could be real. The other parts put them on track in their reality in which they try for a similar life.

    -Mel :)

    I really liked this opening chapter - it is a very interesting concept and one that I look forward to reading more about (perhaps keep it all in one tense - past generally works best, rather than switching from present to past).

    I wonder how Harry and Draco will learn to get along and just what this alternative universe Snape will be like.

    Author's Response:

    KKJ,

    Thanks, I'm thrilled to hear it. Have fixed the tense issue now. It's not entirely another universe, but more of an illusion, but yes it should be quite interesting. By the time you receive this, I would have updated :P.

    -Mel :)

    I like your plot and it seems like a believable storyline...but you really really need to check your grammar and you jump from present tense to past tense a lot.
    Example:
    Confused, Snape frowns and eyes the room uncertainly.
    It should be:
    Confused, Snape frowned and eyed the room uncertainly.

    You also have a couple of run on sentences and some ideas are too jammed together. Long explanations that look like paragraphs are okay.

    Description wise your doing good, and your dailogue looks natural.

    But I would recommend getting a Beta reader...you can post this up on fictionpress - they have good readers who can look over your work.

    Other than that, your story was awesome, I want to read more - post soon!

    -Meg

    Author's Response:

    Meg,

    Thanks, I have fixed the tense issues for that chapter. Normally I do go over it better beforehand but wasn't able to for that one. I do not wish to use a beta, although I have never heard of fictionpress. Thanks for the review, will be updating very soon.

    -Mel :)

    Ohhh...did they just get transported into another universe? One where they were raised as brothers? Interesting! I can't wait to find out what will happen next!

    Author's Response:

    Silverstargirl,

    They were not transported into another universe, actually. The place in which they are at is merely an illusion, none of it exists or is real...yet. I'm thrilled to hear it and will be updating very soon.

    -Mel :)

    Ooh, interesting start! I can't wait to see what happens when Draco and Harry realise that Snape is their, uh...guardian? And has been since they were young.

    I can't wait for the next chappie.

    Author's Response:

    Pandora,

    Thanks! Glad to hear it, although they have grown up since toddlers with Snape as their father, not guardian, hehe. Thanks for the review, updating very soon.

    -Mel :)
