I love your logical magic world
Hi, I came across your Story and just could'nt stop reading it. It's really great. Greatings marma
That was absolutely brilliant. I had my reservations, reading it at first- Harry seemed far too mature, but you handled that well in making knowledge his escapism. And unlike a lot of authors, you handled the after effects of abuse realistically and delicately I also love your Snape. His development from canon to your Snape is superb and realistic.
I cannot give enough praise for this story. This is the story I have longed for when reading a harry-is-abused story. Every author, every damn one of them, skips over the most important part: building trust. Especially in the stories where Snape has also been an abuser. The miss the entire point of the relationship.
Trust is not instant or easy and abused kids just don't shake off the abuse, it's affects, the anger, rage and bitterness, the suspicion and wariness that abuse creates.
I love this story. It was so true to real life. Abused kids just think differently, they look at the world differently than kids that have been treated well. Their brains formed with this template and it won't ever change. It can be mitigated, managed and softened, but never eradicated.
I have not found an author that recognizes that and doesn't try to portray these attributes as "wrong" and needing to be "fixed". IRL, they won't change. Those stories have zero acceptance of Harry as he is, just expectations that he start to act "normal".
Again, this was the best abused!harry and Severitus story I have read. Bravo!!
I'm very stingy with reviews, but I really like the way that you have chosen to portray Harry' so thoughts and Snape's character development.
This is a wonderful story. You paint a very clear picture and I could almost smell the lingering smoke from the burnt #4 Privet Drive.
Love love love this story I realy hope you write a sequel
