With a strange potion, new location and the odd Muggle Studies Professor along for the ride, Harry's in for an interesting summer, but why is Snape here? Dumbledore had better pray he gets all three back in one piece! Humor, Angst, No Mary Sues, No Romance, no real plot.

    This is in character while having humor, and an unusual premise. I like that bit at the end, too, about Krispy Kremes. And how Snape called America 'the Colonies'. That made me laugh. I think that was cute of him. Heh. 

    Author's Response: Awww, thanks! :D

Harry just wants to be a normal teenager, but it seems he can't even die normally. So what's a 15 year old wizard to do when he suddenly finds himself as an incorporeal spirit no one else can see or hear except his least favorite Potions Master?

    This story makes me *very* happy. I love the ending, too. I'm going to see what else you've written! Thank you for writing this story. It goes on my favorites. I like how the relationship between Snape and Harry progressed - it was very natural. And your way of describing things, and the characterization are wonderful. Have a nice day!

At a celebratory Halloween ball, unlikely companions discover more in common than just the battle scars…

    Something continuing this would be interesting - you're probably not interested in that, though. I am compelled by the post-Voldermort world you've created, and I find myself wanting to know what happens to Snape after the Halloween party.

    I enjoy the characterization you create, and I am drawn in by your writing style. Thank you for writing this. I enjoyed it, and I am going to put it on my favorites list. After that, I am off to see what else you've written. Have a good night. Or day, whichever.

    :)


SEQUEL TO "KEPT BEHIND" Harry might have survived his ordeal as a disembodied spirit, but when the Order is jeopardized by one of its own, Harry must risk everything to save the one that once saved him... even if that person is Snape

Reviewer: Zizrastaen (Signed)

    Aah! The end of this chapter makes me use profanity. In a good way, because that means I'm getting involved in it's plotline, which is fun.

     At the beginning of the chapter, I was pleading at the computer screen: "*please* please, please..." Like that. :) I love this, and I eagerly await more!


Snape and Harry are locked in the Room of Requirement by Dumbledore. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other? In response to the 72-Hour Challenge.

    'Because you could have turned out like me.'

    Beautiful. Also - that's one Heck of a cliff hanger. :D

    I'm off to read more.

After Snape's visit to Surrey, Harry writes a thank-you letter that triggers an extended correspondence and a tentative friendship between the two of them.

Reviewer: Zizrastaen (Signed)
    You are *fantastic*. I'm sorry if I don't have specific examples, but I refer to the story as a whole. And the one that comes before it.

    The characters are written wonderfully, and their relationship changes without becoming a bit out of character. I *love* your writing style. As a side note, I love your Luna. She is marvelous.

    Thank you for writing!

Title: Chapter 4: In Care Of, Part One 19 Nov 2007
Reviewer: Zizrastaen (Signed)
    'The relief that blossoms over his teacher's face makes Harry feel rather warm inside; of course, he might be hemorrhaging.' *laughs and applauds* And thus you keep the tone from becoming too unrealistically sappy.

    'Snape's lip quirks in a faint, sad sort of smile. "Yes, Potter," he says. "Me too."' ... I love you. Love this. The description of Snape's voice as drawling, also, is wonderfully accurate.

    This story makes me forget that anything else exists, when I read it. As any fantastic and wonderful story tends to do. :)

    *goes to read more*

Title: Chapter 5: In Care Of, Part Two 19 Nov 2007
Reviewer: Zizrastaen (Signed)
    Among all the wonderfulness (I'm afraid I don't have any constructive criticism - sorry for that), there were two lines which illustrate the wonderful subtlety which is a part of what I think makes your writing so effective.

    'and do something quite Unforgivable.'

    'His knees are less steady than he prefers them.'

    And the scene with the two on the couch is done fantastically in character.

    Have I told you lately that I love you? *grins*

Title: Chapter 6: To Whom It May Concern 19 Nov 2007
Reviewer: Zizrastaen (Signed)
    Bits I, for some reason or another, wanted to mention:

    'he is too quick to notice the same kind of pain in others.

    She really likes him quite a lot.'


    "It's bigger on the inside,"

    Gasp! Have you watched Doctor Who?

    And the ending - would you be horribly creeped out if I said I loved you again? 'Cause that is... aah.
