    Do you how hard it is to explain to curious co-workers why your bawling like a baby at your desk, without giving away the fact that you're reading fics at work?

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! i'll take that as a compliment.

    That was sweet. There were times when I was in tears.

    Yeah! I got the story alert and your email! Thank you!
    Great start...that was a really creepy dream though..and I don;t think it was nothing that Harry was feeling.

    Author's Response:

    Oh good glad they worked!

    No, that dream was weird and scary and you'll see what it means later.

    So was that the glamour that fell? Hopefully it didn't affect the wards or else there will be a DE attack in the next chapter. I'm sure that Vernon will blame Dudder's problems on Harry somehow. As for the BETA, I'm more than willing to help out if you like. email me @ jvalread @ yahoo .com

    Author's Response: Thanks for the offer, I have two BETAs now, since posting these chapters XD I'm just waiting for them to get back to me before posting Chapter 02! Things will become clear as soon as you read that chapter ^^

Digging For Lies by Asparas starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 29]
The first time Severus Snape looked at Harry Potter, the newest member of Slytherin and The-Boy-Who-Lived, he saw James Potter. The second time he saw something different, something terrifying, and yet, something familiar.

    Wow, not many authors can get me to cry in less than 3 chapters, but my eyes were tearing up by the end of the first chapter. I can;t wait for more

    Author's Response: Aww, I'm sorry you cried. I'm glad you enjoy my story so far. Thank you for your review :)

Reviewer: jvalread (Signed)
    I haven't read the chapter yet, but I'm guessing the song is Lean On Me, but for the life of me I can't remember the artist...I'm listening to the version from the Glee soundtrack :-)

    Author's Response: Haha.  Lean on me is the overarching song (and thus the names of the chapters), but each chapter has an individual song that goes with it.

Reviewer: jvalread (Signed)
    OK now that I read the chapter..While a little flimsy, I think that Sev's story is entirely plausible. I'm a little surprised that Dumbledore didn't know about the potion ahead of time.

    I really can;t wait to see where you take this story :-)

    Author's Response:

    Thank you for the review.

    I sort of explained Dumbledore not knowing in this last chapter...  Actually I didn't at all, but I showed his reaction to the fact that he didn't know, so that counts for something, right?   

    In any case, thank you very much for your encouragement.

    Well I'm dying to know what he is?..
    OK and just a side note you can ignore if you want..if this is set before 5th year, Harry doesn't know about Grimmauld place yet.....Like I said you can ignore it if you want.

    Author's Response: OMG THANK YOU!! I got this review and was like OH SHIT!!! LOL I fixed it. I'm glad you like, and thank you for the review. (And the timely heads up!!!) Rhiannan
