Nice one shot. Though I do wish that Snape had administered the potion in the privacy of his office rather than in front of the whole class.

I thought that it was mean of Snape to embarass Harry in front of the class like that. He should have given him the potion in private.
Well written though, and very original idea. Well done.

I really liked this story. You manage to get that tension, unknown and anxious fear into the story- I always imagine that your Snape is much like the Rickman Snape with his sullucent tones. I know that I didn't spell that right- I mean the way he peaks is slippery like a snake, spitting, yet melodious and rich, putting every bit of inflection into it. you do that with the tension very well. I feel that this story shows how much of a better writer you have become but it also lays bare the things you need to work on. To me, it seems that you tend to put down the support beams of the story, everything is in place but it doesn't flow and catch the reader as quickly as it can. I find it difficult to get into the story in the beginning, but because you manage to get these bones down so very well, I get caught up in it from the middle to the end and am so wrapped up in it. That's what I admire about your writing. I love the twist you have in most of your stories, playing Snape as a good villian, or maybe an evil good guy? I just love that unknown and it really is something different that most people don't and can't do. Thanks so much for sharing this. :)
Author's Response: Hi Jan! I appreciate your comments! (even though I may not respond to all of them... you always manage to get a smile out of me, hehe) About the twistiness. I think I know what you're talking about. Sometimes though when I'm writing I get this great idea in my brain (usually an evil idea, lol) and then I take notes on napkins or my notbook if I can. When I get home I try to type that stuff down so that it's true to the feelings that my idea gave me. A lot of the time I don't feel like I get it exactly the way that I wanted it to be in the beginning, but I have fun trying.
Snape as a good villain, eh? I think he is just misread (true he does act like a bit of a jerk, but maybe that's because he wants respect.) maybe it was the way he was treated as a child that makes him such an angry adult. I dunno, but I like writing him. I think my Snape has mellowed alot in recent fics, but oh well.
Thanks for commenting! :)
