I love the conundrum Severus faced in learning more about the trio’s rule breaking as Ajax, but not being able to do anything about it as Professor Snape. I also love that he’s curious to learn more about Harry’s living situation. Your writing is imbued with wit and humor - a great combination!
I'm not normally a fan of creature fics, but this has potential. I like the idea of Severus developing two independent relationships with Harry. There's a big potential problem that stood out to me though. Winter in Scotland is going to be very hard for Severus.
In late October, sunset is at about quarter to five (full dark by half past five). I take it the feast started very early? By mid-December sunset will be at about quarter to four, and sunrise at half past eight. How has he managed in previous years?
The other thing I thought of is that that werewolf from chapter 1 really needs to be revisited. Otherwise it's clear it was just a plot device.
Author's Response: Thank you for your thoughts! And yes, winter has always been a problem for Severus, but after years of suffering with this curse he knows what to do. I’ve already thought about it. And thank you for mentioning the time frames in Scotland. That did escape my mind. In the US, sunset isn’t until 5:30-6pm late October and by December around 4:45ish - at least in NY. I was going off of those times - how careless of me. And Severus manages these times by having his classes later in the day and eating when he can, not necessarily at meal times. I will have to remember these times for later in the story if I’m to be geographically correct. Thanks for the insight! And we will hear of this werewolf again and why it was so close to Hogwarts. I won’t give out too much detail now, so just hand in there. Thanks for your review!
