Argus Filch is one of my favourite characters, therefore I am so pleased to finally have a story where I can really write him. I pictured Harry mopping floors during a day of 1st year classes and spotting Snape, being intrigued by him - and this fic was born. I figured, if Snape can see cruel yet underneath have a more emotional side than we know, why can't Filch also not be he appears?
I am still working out my own style of writing Filch, so this is a learning process. Any feedback you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. This story will likely start out as an AU Harry/Snape mentor fic, which may evolve into more than just that as the story goes along.
