    Yes, this story was the perfect way to wrap up my day! I love how Snape's thoughts are humorous, even as his situation isn’t. I’m so happy you’re writing this and am looking forward to seeing what happens once Snape and Harry have both processed the events of the day!

    Author's Response:

    It's going to take awhile for Snape to process. He's very good at avoiding. Lol. I'm very excited about the next chapter and hope you'll enjoy it as well. 

    I'm not not very good at writing comedy. Lol. Most of my attempts have been with others who did the heavy lifting. I'm pretty proud of myself for this story, I'll be honest. Even if some chapters later on are a little less humorous. 

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

    Lol! I love how, despite ignoring Harry and generally not seeming to know what to do or how to process everything, Snape (knowingly or not) shares a moment of alliance with Harry by giving both of them cake.

    Author's Response:

    I love that cake moment! 

    I'm very proud that I wrote it. Lol! 

    Poppy Pomfrey is less happy, but I feel like that would make both Snape and Harry happy. 

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

    Lol! I love how stubborn Snape is being with refusing to say anything to Harry. There's a lot packed into this chapter in regards to Snape's character and thought! The last sentence is telling, and a bit sad: "Even the most sympathetic of anti-heros never makes it to the end."

    Again, I love the humor!

    Your answer made sense about the swearing, and yes: I'm able and used to skipping over things. I actually don't remember picking up on that little clue about Snape spitting on the ground. That's very interesting! I guess I only ever think of the grand, poised Alan Rickman Snape that I love, but don't think about where he came from. But what you say makes so much sense. I mean, I went through that. I grew up in a Snapelike household. Alcoholic and abusive dad. Neglectful mom. I had to learn etiquette, hygiene and gravitas so that I wouldn't stand out when I went yo college: and I definitely find myself engaging in improper habits at times I need to make myself stop, very much like spitting on the ground! The one thing I thankfully never picked up was the bad language, and I have NO idea why, because I was exposed to it daily. It's one thing I've always been against, even though it took a while to understand about abuse and neglect.

    Anyhoo, kudos to you for these important details! I am certainly enjoying this story.

    Author's Response:

    I'm so glad you're enjoying it! *hugs* And I'm also really glad the swearing isn't too distracting. Moreover, I'm thrilled that you appreciate the little details. (I maybe tend to obsess sometimes). 

    I tried my best to keep the humor throughtout the story, but there are a couple of heavier chapters coming. I don't think it could be avoided completly, tbh. But they're not super dark or depressing. Just a little less comical. 

    That line about sympathetic anti-heros is maybe one of my favorite lines that I've written. Just like you said, it's both telling and heartbreaking. It makes me want to snuggle Snape. Even if he would hate it and try to run screaming from the room. :D 

    You're reviews are wonderful and very much appreciated! Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

    I like how Severus is trying to foist Harry off on anyone he can. I’m really enjoying your story so far!

    Author's Response:

    I'm so glad you're enjoying it! And, of course Snape is trying to get rid of the child! Why would he want that little brat anywhere near him. :P I actually feel really bad for Harry's shirt. Even McGonagall drags him around by the collar. I probably find way to much humor in that, actually. 

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing!

    You definitely didn’t forget how! That was a fantastic and memorable first chapter! I’m looking forward to reading on.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I've certaintly missed writing for this fandom! Thank you for reading and commenting!

    I love the humor and the plot is intriguing! Bravo for coming back after ten years, I'm impressed!

    I do not care for the bad language and have to skip it as I read. Honestly,it doesn't add anything and you're writing is excellent.

    Author's Response:

    I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

    For me, the swearing adds to it only because it acts as a reminder of where Snape came from before Hogwarts. Like in the first book where Rowling has Snape spit on the ground. That's not generally something you would ever see the Malfoys do. But Snape does it, and that's actually a clue for what we find out later in book 6. I feel like it would be the same with the swearing. 

    I hope it doesn't bother you too much, and you're able to skip it easily. 

    Thank you, so much, for reading and commenting.
