***Disclaimor: J.K. Rowling owns "Harry Potter," but she is kind enough to let us play in her universe. Thank you, Ms. Rowling!

2. Chapter 2 by Kristeh [Reviews - 20] (2204 words)

Thanks so much for all the reviews! You all are awesome! I'm so happy you're enjoying SC. I probably won't update this one again for a couple weeks, as I need to get another chapter or two written for "Potions Professor" next. But I am going to work on "Potions Professor" this weekend, so hopefully it will updated in a day or two as well.

I hope you'll enjoy chapter 2. And a huge 'thank you' to my wonderful betas, Ivanova, Kaity, and Kim! You're wonderful! And "HP and the Potions Professor" is a Featured Story!!! I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am! Thank you so much for the noms and votes! It's made my day!

5. Chapter 5 by Kristeh [Reviews - 28] (4040 words)

Hi, everyone. I was so excited about the point I'd gotten to in SC that I just had to go ahead and write the next chapter. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Some people may think Harry is OOC here. I struggled with how to portray him reacting at this point, and I decided to have him be a little more submissive than he typically is. But I think he's really rattled by this spell. He knows he's completely at Snape's mercy and that Snape despises him. He knows he can't depend on anyone to help him, and that the spell itself can kill or cause pain if he does anything that might be an attempt to break it. So I think Harry's kind of in shock and gone into survival mode right now, just wanting to get along with Snape as best he can. We'll see how it goes...

Hi, everyone. Here's chapter 10, and I hope you'll enjoy it!

*Kim, I'm sorry for going ahead and posting this before you've gotten it, but my computer has been acting up and not sending some of my messages. I've tried to send it three times, and my computer keeps saying it can't send it. I'm not very computer literate, so I'm not sure what to do. Is there anyone who knows more about computers than me (which is practically everyone!) who could give me some suggestions? I missed being able to talk with you, Kim!

***Many thanks to Kim, Kaity, and Ivanova, for all their help and suggestions!

11. Chapter 11 by Kristeh [Reviews - 16] (2478 words)

Here's chapter 11. Sorry it took a little longer than usual to update, but I realised I needed to flesh out the next few chapters in more detail before I could write them, so I had to spend a few days planning and outlining. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you, Ivanova, Kaity, and Kim!

Here's chapter 24. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you, Kaity, Kim, and Ivanova! ***So far in SC Harry has been looking at suicide as a solution to his troubles. I feel compelled to say that I do not personally believe this, and that by the end of the story Harry will feel very differently as well. He will come to see that if he actually had committed suicide, he would have denied himself a great deal of joy and would have devestated the very people he loves the most. If there is anyone out there who is even slightly considering suicide...Please don't! Life is always changing, but suicide is a permanent decision. Please talk to someone.

25. Chapter 25 by Kristeh [Reviews - 17] (4221 words)

Hi, everyone! Sorry this one took me a little longer than I expected, but I had a lot going on in real life the past few days. Actually, real life is going to be kind of hectic for the rest of the week, so I may be scarce until early next week, but we'll see...

Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy chapter 25!

Thank you to Kim, Ivanova, and Kaity!

26. Chapter 26 by Kristeh [Reviews - 14] (3481 words)

Hi, everyone! Sorry it's taken a little longer than usual. We've been on vacation and as soon as we came back my children started school, so I've been a little busy. But here's chapter 26. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you, Kim, Kaity, and Ivanova!

If you remember, Severus had just brought Ron and Hermione to Prince Hall...

Hi, everyone! Here's chapter 28. I hope you'll enjoy it...just remember that SC is (very obviously) an AU story, and some more of those differences from canon will show up here.

Thank you, Kim, Ivanova, and Kaity!

Thanks to Kim and Ivanova!

I hope everyone will enjoy this chapter. We finally made it to the Hogwarts Express, though only partially, lol!

You know, I'd planned to have the whole train ride, the Opening Feast, and maybe the first day of classes done by now, and instead they've just begun the train ride. I have a feeling this story may end up being much longer than I'd thought, and I'd thought it would be pretty long, already, lol. I hope you guys like long stories!

36. Chapter 36 by Kristeh [Reviews - 17] (3785 words)

Here's chapter 36. I hope you'll enjoy it!

Thank you, Kim and Ivanova!

37. Chapter 37 by Kristeh [Reviews - 10] (2119 words)

Here's chapter 37. Actually it's only about half of what I had originally planned for chapter 37 (that's why it's rather short), but it's been so long since I updated SC that I just decided to go ahead and post and include the rest in chapter 38. I hope you'll like it.

Thank you, Kim! Ivanova, I'm sorry, but I've lost your e-mail address. Could you please send it to me again?

And I was so happy and thankful to see that "Christmas at Spinner's End" is featured! Thank you very much to everyone who voted for it!

Here's chapter 42, finally! Sorry for the wait. I was struggling with a bad case of writer's block, but I think I've worked through it (hopefully). I hope you'll enjoy the chapter!

43. Chapter 43 by Kristeh [Reviews - 14] (3861 words)

Here is chapter 43. I hope you'll enjoy it. Also, SC will be on a brief hiatus while I work on my ChallengeFest story. I hope to get that one written in 2-3 weeks, and then I'll get right back to SC.

Thank you, Kim!

44. Chapter 44 by Kristeh [Reviews - 13] (5169 words)

Thank you so much, Kim! I couldn't do this without you.

48. Chapter 48 by Kristeh [Reviews - 32] (2541 words)

I'm sorry for the long wait. I have to admit that I've struggled with this chapter a great deal and with second-guessing Draco's role in the story. I was very discouraged and torn, but I have finally accepted that, even though some people will not be happy, I need to continue writing my own vision for the story, the way it has been planned from the beginning. I hope you will continue to enjoy it.

Thank you so much to my fantastic beta, Kim, and thanks to Dawn for all her support and encouragement! This chapter would not be here without you guys!

Thank you, Kim, Dawn, and Brandy!

There are a few changes from canon here, but they made sense to me as I was writing so I hope they will be believable. I hope you'll enjoy it.

56. Chapter 56 by Kristeh [Reviews - 10] (3801 words)

I apologize for the long wait. All I can say is that this chapter was very difficult for me and I struggled with how to portray the characters. I'll try to be quicker with the next chapter.

Thanks, Kim, Dawn, and Brandy!

73. Chapter 73 by Kristeh [Reviews - 14] (3920 words)

I apologize for the long wait, but here is the obligatory fluffy Christmas chapter. I think it is a bit more than a filler though. There is a hint of foreshadowing of trouble to come (and it will come soon...perhaps in the next chapter). Any guesses as to what it might be?

Special thanks to Kim, Dawn, and Brandy!

74. Chapter 74 by Kristeh [Reviews - 26] (3143 words)

I hope you'll enjoy chapter 74!

Thank you, Kim, Dawn, and Brandy for your encouragement and advice!

Here's the chapter. I'm sorry, again, for the long wait. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks, Kim, Dawn, and Brandy! Also, Severus' patronus mentioned in this chapter is a nod to the beautiful fanart that Brandy did for me at a time when I was discouraged. Thanks again, Brandy!

Both of Hermione's parents should really be called "Dr. Granger", but that was a little confusing. So to make it easier to understand which parent is being referred to, I'm calling them "Mr." and "Mrs."

76. Chapter 76 by Kristeh [Reviews - 21] (4415 words)

Here's the next chapter. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks again, Kim, Dawn, and Brandy!

77. Chapter 77 by Kristeh [Reviews - 16] (1577 words)

Here is chapter 77, finally! Yes, it's short. I had planned to make it longer, but it's been so long since I updated that I thought I would go ahead just so people would know that SC isn't abandoned. Also, as this was origianlly how I had planned to end the story, I thought it made a good stopping point.

Thank you, Dawn, Kim, and Brandy!

78. Chapter 78 by Kristeh [Reviews - 7] (2183 words)

Here's chapter 78. I hope you'll enjoy it.

In the last chapter, Harry discovered that he was free from the slavery spell. Now he and Severus are at Hogwarts for the New Year's/adoption party that Dumbledore had arranged.

79. Chapter 79 by Kristeh [Reviews - 16] (3405 words)

Here's another chapter. I'm sorry for the long wait; I had actually thought about taking a really long (six month or so) break from writing now that one part of the story has been resolved, but the writing bug wouldn't leave me alone and I realized I missed working on my story. So here it is and I hope you'll enjoy it!
