I’m back for a re-read, and am really enjoying it. I appreciate all the details, like Harry seeing Marge floating off in the distance, Snape’s cold, and Harry’s experience of coffee. They add a delicious richness to the characters and setting.
Poor Severus. He has had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Albus denied him the DADA post again, he had to rescue Potter and take him home after arguing with Vernon and Petunia and to top it off he picked up a rotten cold. And didn't even have the pleasure of seeing Petunia blown up. Can't wait to see what happens to him next!

This is really good. My favorite part by far was when you mentioned Harry being able to see the inflated Aunt Marge from so far off. Of course I found the image amusing, but when Snape thought Harry had blown up Petunia, I could NOT stop laughing!

Great start to the story. Love their exchanges especially Severus' cold!
Great start. Like the idea of defense lessons. Always wondered why Dumbledore left Harry out to dry.
Yay. Awesome! Welcome back. :D
great start. Can't wait to read more!!
I like this very much. BIG potential, nicely written and very reasonable.
Oh, I am looking forward to the next chapter! I'm intrigued by the changes you've made to the beginning of Prisoner of Azkaban, and I really like the flow of the story. It's nicely paced, and it definitely kept my interest.
Snape's dismissal of the Knight Bus was SO in character for him! *grin* And thanks for writing Harry so that he sounds like recently turned 13 year old. It's quite refreshing to see him behave his age, and to "hear" him talk like a child of that age really would.
This is definitely going to be a story for which I will keep watching for updates.
Well done!
This story is so intriguing! I LOVE that it is set during POA. That was my favorite book and film! I also love how you are characterizing everyone so far. Can't wait to see what you do with Lupin. I'm also glad this story won't feature CP..although I'm not against it, I think 13 is too old to be using that form of discipline. I find that taking away privileges/a kid's favorite thing/talking to them is a better way to get through to them at that age.
This is off to an amazing start.So many wonderful details. You have real talent and I'm looking forward to more of this very much.
