Another excellent one. I enjoyed the familiar elements of many of the stories on this site twisted just enough with your unique imprint... Again you brought nuance and realism and let the pace control the slow awakening of a softer relationship between Snape and Harry, to considerable benefit. The Draco/Harry/Hermione threesome felt well-reasoned and worked as well if not better for me as the Harry/Ron/Hermione trio in the book, which had little reason other than coincidence to exist. You do such a great job of making every interaction deliberate and earned.
Dumbledore casting the killing curse! I gasped a little aloud at that! It does come right to the point, though I think he was patting himself on the back a bit too much for wishing Harry would live through it. It's both entirely plausible and surprisingly surprising-- in that so much of the books is actually quite implausible, stuffed with MacGuffins and quests and ridiculously symbolic games. Dumbledore cut right to the chase with that curse, but that you brought back the theme of Harry's basic goodness and forgiveness still allowing him final triumph over Voldemort, it was lovely. I am coming to think yours is the best kind of fanfiction; you build on something beloved, tease out small elements into larger motifs, and find your way back to the original just enough that we arrive at the ending newly informed and thoughtful.
Love this story. You succeeded to give me creeps!

Thanks for a wonderful story! I t was great that you posted the chapter on Draco's party, considering the many references to the party, the story had not felt complete without it, the party also marks the beginning of a new, brighter life and future for Snape and Harry. A fitting end -and beginning: Sequel, please!

Great story! Very interesting to read the whole thing from Snape's point of view, you portray him and his relationship to a Slytherin Harry very well. Love your Harry too, you have succeeded well to portray him as a Slytherin, with a dark past, he is a very intriguing character, and also a very sweet boy! If anything, I would have liked a bit more interaction between Snape and Harry ( for example, in this chapter). Would love to see their relationship evolve in a Sequel! Overall, a fascinating and moving story with a clever and interesting twist to the canon plot line ( both book 1 and 7). Thanks for a great read!

Hi, Thanks for a wonderful story! Full of suspense, emotions and drama, you got me hooked from the beginning.
The party was a fun read, and an excellent "normal" ending to such a dramatic story. I really liked your characterization of Snape and Harry. Snape was very beliviable in his reactions to a Slytherin Harry, and your Slytherin Harry was a very interesting and fascinating character, with an even worse background than canon Harry, that was hearwrenching to read... I am so happy that he is now free, and can enjoy a (somewhat) normal childhood with Snape as his guardian, and I am also very happy for Snape, now he is no longer lonely, with Lily's child to look after.The party in the end was a very fitting example of Harry's new life. I am also glad that he has Draco and Herminone, but I wonder, if he will ever be friend with Ron as in canon? I would love to see a continuation , how will Harry's future turn out as Snapeäs apprentice? Sequel, please!
Awesome story, loved your Snape and your Slytherin Harry! You are a very good writer.

Hahaha... that was a fun read!, and realistic portrayal... poor Sev! Good for Lucius to have him there, though. It was so nice to see Harry enjoying himself as a normal child... To imagine that the Malfoy's inivited Hermione! But you made it very beliviable. Maybe there is hope for a change in atitude, now that Draco has befriended Harry.
Excellent story! Really heartwrenching... Full of angst, horror but also of hearthwarming love, hope, friendship and humor.. You are a very good writer, love your portrayal of Snape and Harry, my favorite chapter is "the boy under the tree". This chapter was an excellent end - full of hope and joy... In many ways it was also a beginning- I would love to see a sequel! Please, I would really love to see Harry's and Sev's relationship develop as master and apprentice.
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to read more from you!
This story, this whole damned thing, made my heart sing in way I never thought possible. Thank you so much for this, I think you've ruined me.
Excellent: Very well written, original premise and well thought out storyline. I would definitely enjoy reading more of your contributions; you actually write like an adult which is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for a wonderful read!

I can't believe I have missed this story so far. I have just spent some very enjoyable hours with your wonderful tale, thank you! (Poor Severus, I am glad my children are old enough to be dropped off at parties ...)
