1. Chapter 1 - Welcome Back to Hogwarts by oliversnape [Reviews - 29] (7437 words)

High rating cause I'll end up swearing at one point in this. Little Harry/Elliot will be back in later chapters, and there will be no CP at all. I'm stealing a few bits from canon, but will be veering mostly off course from now on. :)

2. Chapter 2 - Everyday Lessons by oliversnape [Reviews - 12] (5340 words)

3. Chapter 3 -Bargins and Bad Dreams by oliversnape [Reviews - 19] (5037 words)

4. Chapter 4 - Clicking into Place by oliversnape [Reviews - 14] (6122 words)

And now a bit of the angst. Cause life is just rosy and grey. :)

5. Chapter 5 - A Weekend in Amsterdam by oliversnape [Reviews - 13] (5499 words)

Sorry about the wait, I fried my harddrive. Whoops. :)

6. Chapter 6 - Socks, Snakes, and a Bad Decision by oliversnape [Reviews - 18] (7304 words)

Thanks thanks thanks! I can't express enough how much I appreciate all of you. And also. I want wizarding toys. That's all. :)

8. Chapter 8 - Christmas is all around by oliversnape [Reviews - 14] (6168 words)

There's an author's note at the bottom to explain a few things. This chapter is a bit fluffy, and I have no excuse for that. ;)

9. Chapter 9 - Mercy Earned by oliversnape [Reviews - 11] (6458 words)

The cider in the last chapter is the hot non-alcoholic version that you usually get in the fall. I did not mean the usual apple or pear cider you get in a can (or make) that gives you quite the buzz. :) The next chapter will probably come on Monday or Tuesday, so not too long of a wait.

10. Chapter 10 - No Turning Back by oliversnape [Reviews - 16] (6001 words)

Thanks for your patience, and the wicked reviews! Hope this explains, and doesn't disappoint. ;)

12. Chapter 12 - A Broken Thesaurus by oliversnape [Reviews - 11] (6224 words)

Harry's paraphasia described in here is not exactly the typical manifestation of that form of aphasia. I am taking slight creative license with it though to fit both Harry and the story better.

A note for you all at the end, a big thanks. I've got a few scenes that didn't make it in, which will probably be posted as one shots later. :)
