    This was awwwwwsome! Loved the fox's point of view, and especially Sirius' reaction to it! Gotta find out what happens NEXT!!! :-D

    Author's Response: Glad you are liking it shadow! It is wonderful to know you like the point of view of the fox.  Your review totally lifted me out of the midterm blues, so thanks so very much for the feedback!

    Can't read through the blur of my tears...

    Author's Response: Well ... that's how I meant the chapter to be! :) Thanks for the review!

    Makes me wonder-- if Severus were to deage (just a BIT, like 6 years or so), could he go back before his condition took over? He'd still be old enough to be a parent, but it might give him time to research & come up with a cure... Not to mention, Harry and Draco would have extra time with him. And could he do this more than once, if necessary? Severus Dorian Snape, as it were! (If that's not where your story is heading, I might use the idea myself! :-D )

    Author's Response: Well, I suppose he could. However, the only sample of de-aging potion (conveniently) was shattered in A Summer's Misadventures. Seeing as the potion was created by accident, it would be very dangerous to try it again. Definitely a really cool idea though, shadow. I suppose I should have mentioned that the only de-aging potion sample was the one that smashed last story! I just assumed people thought it was. Go ahead and use that idea though, because it couldn't really have worked here. I' d love to read it!

    Awesome battle scene, unique in all respects! Loved the dragon, the staircase, and the scene with Severus and Laura amidst the shelves. :-)

    Author's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review Shadowienne! I had fun writing this scene so much too! Oh, and I forgot to mention one thing in the response to your last review, on why it would be tricky for Severus to de-age himself. The type of potion in this story, while it has been destroyed, would have reverted his memory to whatever age he was at. Therefore, if he were to de-age himself, it could only be a little while so that he would still have had the change of heart about Harry, because even if you used his memories in a pensive it probably would not have affected him as greatly as it did when he was truly there. This thought came to me just as I clicked submit on that last response, haha. Anyway, I really appreciate the feedback!

    I loved it, but would you mind telling how it ended? As in how they got rid of Riddle? Was there a final battle or did the dispose of him sneakily?
    Thank you.

    Author's Response: I didn't mention it because I felt it wasn't important, given that they survived and that was 'all that mattered' But, in my mind it turned out a lot like the battle in DH. They destroyed all the horcruxes (Draco helping instead of hindering, and they ended up at Malfoy Manor anyway with Bellatrix there instead), Harry didn't know until the last moment that he had to die, like before, only instead of being given Snape's memories (because Severus obviously survives this time) Severus found Harry during the battle and gave him a phial of Dumbledore's memories that had been entrusted to him, which told the story of how Dumbledore figured it all out etc, and that Harry had to die. Then everything went as it did in the book. Then, Severus and Laura got married and lived happily every after. Hope that helped CarlinPaddy, and thank you for the review!

    Thank *you*, Whitetail, for writing and posting such a wonderful story! I love how this series evolved, from a very amusing de-aging fic to an alternate universe that seems so much more satisfying than canon, at least where Severus and Draco are concerned. I love your characterization of Severus, and his change from a bitter and in some ways immature man to a responsible father and partner (husband, in the future?). I also liked how you ended with a bittersweet note, with Albus passing away; the final scene between him and Severus was very well done, especially when Severus took the Sherbet lemon. That was a very touching moment.
    Thank you again - I will miss this story, too, but it was great to see everything wrapped up so well. I'm hoping to read many more of your fics in the future!

    Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much Sita! I'm glad you liked the evolution in the series, as I only ever meant to write the first story in this series. The two that followed were just dying to escape from my head, so I'm personaly pleased as punch that people actually continued to read and that it turned out well! As for Severus being a husband, so you know, in my mind, they do end up getting married after the war. I'm really glad you liked the sherbert lemon thing, as that came completely without planning and I liked that part a lot. Thanks a lot for all of the contributions you have made with your reviews, which have truly made my day on many occasions.

    I really enjoyed the last chapter - just heartwarming and heartbreaking all at the same time...Severus and Laura, his last moments with Albus...I felt bad that Albus had to go like that - I never liked that he had to die in the books and now this... :( sniff...

    Looking forward to the next time we see our Professor and the boys. :D

    Hugs and Love,
    Vanime

    Author's Response: Glad you liked it Vanime! Thanks a lot for the review. I doubt I'll be doing another story in this series though, so you probably won't see any more of the professor and the boys.

    Thank you so much for this story. It's been a pleasure to read each and every chapter, even if I was worried for longer than was comfortable that it would not end well for Severus. This final chapter wrapped it up beautifully - it was great that they all had some fun time together, while Albus' death kept it from becoming oversweet, although I'm sure he was as prepared and ready as anyone could be for the end.
    Only problem is - what am I going to read now that my favourite story of the past few months is finished?

    Author's Response:  I'm glad you've enjoyed it so much, and that you liked the ending. I wanted it a bit bittersweet, and I'm happy that you liked htat.  And ... as for not having a story to read, (Cough cough, blatant advertising of own material!) I will be submitting a story for the prompt fest soon, so I suppose you could read that. Anyway, thanks rosina!

    That was a good ending (and hopefully, set up for next story).

    Although I am amazed that a father let his two teenage sons go out on some undisclosed journey in the middle of a war.

    If it had been me, I would have grabbed both boys and gotten far, far away.

    Author's Response: I know that it seemed a bit crazy for Severus to let Harry and Draco go, but I had a number of reasons for why he would let them. First off, at their time of departure, they are all of age, and Severus knew that it was their right to make the choice. Second, the situation that the wizarding world is in calls for some sacrifice. Draco, Harry, and Severus understand that.  While Severus wishes they could stay, he has suspected from the start that Harry would have to go, and therefore has prepared himself for it. Albus has also stressed the importance of the mission. Anyway, thanks for the review.
