    It was a good chapter. It felt homey and real yet you created dramatic tension. And I can't wait to learn more about Eileen.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much. There will be more Eileen and her story in later chapters.

    I like it! I had put off reading this one, not sure if I would like it. You've done a good job with Severus' grouchy persona. Though you've hardly said anything about Harry, I can picture him quite clearly here!

    Author's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words.  I'm glad you gave me a chance.

    Nice!
    It's funny (and real) how his mum is bossing him around.

    Author's Response: Thanks.  I always thought that Severus would let his mother boss him around.  He might not like it, but he does love her.

    I'm not wild about Harry in canon, but I might like him better raised by Severus. Your depiction of Eileen is unique. I'd never considered whether a bad marriage could stifle magical ability.

    Severus' characterization is spot on, and you deftly wove bits of background into the story in a way that set the scene without info dumping. At first I thought Severus had carpal tunnel, but the pain in his knees and ankles make me think RA. Guess I'll have to read on and find out. ;)

    Author's Response:

    Oh, I think Eileen's marriage was well beyond bad into toxic.  More will be explained later.

    Hmm.. I think you'll have to read more to find out what is the deal with Severus and his aches.  

    Thanks for the review.  I really appreciate them.

    What a wonderful beginning! I actually this take on Severus' Mum and I love it that he takes the time to come home on the weekend and sort things out for her. I'm really looking forward to reading the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    The next chapter is with my last beta reader right now.

    Thanks for the kind words.  I have wanted to explore Severus' relationship with his mother for a while.  I must admit, this isn't the first time I've had a male character do repairs in my stories.  One of my friends thinks I have a Tim Taylor Home Improvement obsession.

    This promises to be GOOD. I already love Snape's relationship with his mum. You can certainly see where he gets some of his characteristics from, but can't help but feel their love too. Looks as if Petunia has done Harry a big favour dropping him off at the Snape's.

    Author's Response: Yes, Petunia may have inadvertantly done Harry a favor, but don't believe for one minute she thought she was.  LOL!   I really wanted to write a story with an adult Severus and his mum.  I've had this Eileen in my mind for years and have just found the vehicle to put her in.  Thanks for the kind review.  I really appreciate it.  The next chapter will be up shortly.

    Oooh, I love this story Tambra!!!

    You do Snape as Harry's guardian so well. I can't wait to read more!!

    Dumbles will flip when he finds out that Harry was abanadoned like that.

    Author's Response: Thanks so much. I've really wanted to do one of these stoiries for a while, but couldn't find the right inspiration.  Thank god for romanticide's challenge, right?
