Poor Sev! That's terrible, although I think his child mind feared his father and didn't know how to process it while his adult self feared going dark and maybe even being alone also.
I'm surprised that boggarts don't change as a person grows, because your fear as a child probably would be the same as an adult.
I'm glad Sirius finally got the wake up call.
Author's Response: Always made me wonder what Harry would see in a Boggart after the war...when you think about what does he have left to fear? Hmm...I t hink you just inspired me for my next one-shot!!!
So cute! I hope Sirius starts to realize that blaming a child for something an adult did is wrong, and just as he doesn't want to be reminded of all the asanine things he did in his past, neither should he put that onus on Severus, who is a child who can't remember anything.
I loved the conversation between Snape and Harry, it was really sweet.
More please!
This is a wonderful story; you've taken a fairly common fanfic trope and given it a nice twist with having Sirius becoming Sev's guardian while de-aged.
I look forward to seeing what happens next, and hope that your muse continues to be generous to you.
Well done!
Very cute and sweet story! I'm really enjoying it. Sev's boggart is so sad, but I'm glad that Sirius is beginning to open his eyes.
I knew Sirius would come around, and he's going to be a great dad to both Harry and Sev.
Very sweet chapter. I love how Harry felt so loved and so surprised that Sirius' greatest fear was of him dying.

Aw that's so cute. Maybe this experience will benefit all of them, if and when Snape goes back to being an adult.
Great chappie and you write so fast Good job.
Aw, this story is so sweet.
I know that Sirius will come around and I think that they will be a nice family. I shudder to think though of when Snape goes back to normal what he'll think. Or "will" he go back to normal? LOL
Awww, poor Sevvy. Yeah, it came out to be a good thing with Sirius finally seeing the difference between the child amd the adult but still... poor Sevvy.
Poor Severus... but it makes sense that his Boggart would take this form. After all, the thing he probably feared most - Lily dying - has already happened, and he was at least partly responsible. So of course he'd fear himself more than anything else.
What a thoughtful, well-written chapter! I'm glad Sirius finally saw that Sevvy isn't Snape, and that he has a right to be treated like a kid. Looking forward to more!
