Well, isn't he sneaky? Of course, you probably have to be to get into slytherin :)
Good chapter.
Brilliantly written and plotted chapter; I loved the chilling little details (like the door incident) and I love the interaction between Remus and Snape. Looking forward to the next chapter; I think Vernon, Petunia and Dudley are in for a nasty shock

As much as I like this story, I think Snape is wrong to handle Harry's case discreetly without informing the Ministry. (I'm not sure yet I understand his motivation to keep silent, especially since Neville and Harry weren't the first abused children Hogwarts has housed.) It's the type of maneuvering Dumbledore would try. With how ineffective the Ministry is shown to be, a collapse of confidence is what's needed in hopes they'll overhaul the system. Two children from well respected families were abused. If Harry was discovered, there would be more support to install long-lasting measures to insure children in the future were protected.
Yes, I understand Harry's delicate position in the war and the loose Death Eater's, but I imagine that they have enough influence to insure Harry be placed somewhere safe. I hope that reading future chapters will ease my discomfort for the direct of the story.
Author's Response: Sev has his reasons. ;-).
Oh no! What is Snape going to do?
What's going to happen to Harry though? Great chappie Paganaidd.
Looking forward to the next one.
Harry's abuse finally comes to light. I wonder what plans Snape has in store.
Sigh. I just love this story. and I just want to hug poor Harry. great job! anxiously waiting more. Thanks.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAAA! Snape, in a Muggle Home, with Lupin. Is it near the full moon, I wonder? WOnderful update, and I agree with Severus. They shouldn't take this to the Ministry. The fall out woulf be cataclysmic.
its really good I love this story.
Please please update soon

This story is awesome! I can't wait for the upcoming chapters! :D
“Ah.” replied Snape, silkily, “I see.” he paused a beat, “Well, fortunately, I have some time this evening.”
I love this statement. I loved the fic so far, but I have to say this is SO SEVERUS. I don't know why but I see it in my head so clearly, with Harry panicking and Severus espression-less face.
Plus I suspect that Severus gave Harry a detention just to be sure the boy will have time to absorbe the phisical test result.
