Intriguing chapter. It was helpful that Sprout tried to set them straight. I wondered if Harry would mention how the trio going after the stone gave Quirrell access that he wouldn’t have otherwise had.
I know that Hermione is a main character in the HP series, but I can't help but dislike her. I think it is so annoying that she must pry into Snape's life, hasn't she heard of privacy? But I also know that she wants to protect Harry which makes her a good friend, but she gets on my nerves. Honestly! But I am biased as I like Slytherins more than the Gryffindors ... sorry I am ranting.
I love your fic! It adds so much depth to Severus. I love how Sprout is incorporated into it. That she sees the true Severus. Snape needs a hug, and even more of a friend on his side. I hope that the Malfoys are true friends to Severus. He needs them. I also love how Harry is also suspicious of Dumbledore's motives. It's brilliant.
Snape being a Parselmouth! Amazing. It adds to the dark nature that Severus has, but it also adds to the compassionate side. It adds to his character. He desperately wants Dumbledore's approval (I don't know if that is the right word), but he also is extremely protective of what is his ... he would never harm his snake. I love it - everything is amazing.

Author's Response: First of all, I'm sorry for not responding to your review sooner. For the past few months, I set aside my fanfiction and didn't log onto the site. It was fantastic to open the site after so long and read your response! I'm so glad you like my story and your observations about Snape are really accurate. He needs someone who believes in him, someone who doesn't see him as a monster.
Actually, I always liked Hermione. She's a bit bossy and know-it-all but she's also strong and fair. But normally, I'm biased towards the Slytherins too. They're just the more complex and interesting characters. The Gryffindors will always pick the right path (at least in JK's world) but the Slytherins, they're more unpredictable. They're minds are simply intriguing.
I always loved the idea of being a parselmouth! Communicating with snakes? What's cooler than that? I don't understand why it's generally considered such an evil ability.
Thank you so much for reviewing!

Very good chapter thank you
LOVE IT!!! Great story and plot, plus, just a fact, you joined on my brithday! :D Don't stop!
Author's Response: Thanks so much for reading my story! I'm glad you like it and I definitely plan on continuing. I have the next few chapters all planned! It's a really cool coincidence that I joined this site on your birthday! I just read the summary of your story and it sounds really interesting and original. I'm reading it the next chance I get! Thanks again for the review!
I thought that Professor Sprout would be listening to their conversation. She hasn't been made a Head of House for being naïve or dumb. Too bad the kids wouldn't pay attention to her. All those other teachers clearly know Snape better and have reason to trust him.
Author's Response: People have a habit of underestimating Professor Sprout. She's really perceptive and good at understanding the true heart of a person. That is why she stood by Severus even when others abandoned him. The kids just can't trust the adults, especially Hermione who has to find the answers for herself. Still, I think the kids might just stumble into something the adults don't know of! Thanks for commenting!
