    I really like this AU, and look forward to seeing how it will progress. I think that Snape's change in attitude is quite believable, and like how much attention Erebus is paying in class. I wonder what will happen when/if it is discovered that Erebus is Harry.

    Author's Response: Thanks! The pace of attitude changes is always a tricky one. Feedback is definitely helpful. I doubt Erebus has much else to do. Two years of sitting in on every single potions class from 1-7th has got to make some kind of an impact.

    I wonder if Severus will teach Erebus manners or just enjoy watching him annoy the rest of the staff? Interesting that Snape took his parrot along with him. Harry must have enjoyed destroying the couch. I wonder if he will be there when the Dursleys receive whatever punishment in coming their way?

    Author's Response: Teaching a parrot manners, especially about food, is quite often an exercise in futility. I think Snape will be happy as long as Erebus learns not to mess with his food, leaving the bird free to annoy everybody else.

    A parrot! That was unexpected. I'll have to look up the palm cockatoo and see what they look like. Snape's reaction to the bird was fun. He couldn't hurt the parrot but still had his reputation as a scary (full-human) git to maintain. I liked that you had student Charlie Weasley talk to him, too, so we have some time frame for the story.

    Author's Response: A friend of mine first showed me the picture of a palm cockatoo. She said dubbed it Sauron's Apprentice. It seemed like it had an appropriate exterior for being paired with Snape while at the same time a way more outgoing personality than the reserved professor. A recipe for fun!

    That was a neat first chapter. It sounds like, whether he intended it or not, he made it to Hogwarts. I'm looking forward to finding out what kind of black bird he is.

    I love how Erebus is assisting Snape and the school in general by stopping bullying.

    Author's Response: Hmmm...I wonder if our (not so) little bird has a bit of a hero complex... :)

    It certainly is believable! It's amazing what animals can teach us. Haha, I love birds and this really describes their behavior perfectly. Toddlers that can fly indeed! LOL. Wonderful writing again, thank you.

    Author's Response: Toddlers that can fly and that will never, ever grow up. It takes a special kind of person to keep a large parrot and treat it well. I award 10 points to Snape for doing such a good job of it.

    Aw wow Erebus is so adorable, and Dumbledore is getting sketchier by the chapter

    Author's Response: Birds are just so fun! (Although they're normally much more trying to have as a pet than I'm letting on...but really who wants to read chapter upon chapter of Erebus randomly screaming not because he's annoyed or upset but because making noise is fun! Or the temper tantrums when they get bored or upset by something that you didn't even perceive... As for Dumbledore being sketchy... *grins* maaaaaybe. Or maybe Snape is being overly paranoid.

    I love it! So when will Sev discover his familiar is Harry?

    Author's Response: 3rd year sound good to you? I think we can keep him hidden that long. After Pettigrew is discovered Dumbledore insists for safety that every familiar be submitted to the anigmagus revealing spell. He asks Snape to show willing by going first. So then, in front of the entire school.... Absolute chaos! Okay, so yeah, that's not how it's going to happen. But it might make for a fun alternative plotline, don't you think?

    "Detention!" Was brilliant.

    I love this story and can't wait for more.

    Author's Response: I admit, I hadn't planned for that, but as I was writing it just happened. I'm glad you liked it.

    Interesting premises :)
    I love Familar Harry story and I like how Snape is in character in your story. Looking forward for more.
    Be careful when (if ?) you reveal that Harry is Erebus as it is often a letdown in the stories I read.
    Thank you for sharing your story with us :)

    Author's Response: I shall try not to disappoint.
