    Poor squirrels, they didn't ask to be created and simply behave according to their natures. The upcoming 'experimentation' won't be pleasant.

    Author's Response: You make an excellent point, and I wanted to show an individual squirrel so we see her up close and personal, before we see the gathering masses of squirrels. The wizards need to know exactly what they're dealing with in order to stay ahead of the game, so to speak. In reality, the squirrels never should have been bred in the first place, much less turned loose. It's the ever-present situation of "just because we CAN do something doesn't mean that we SHOULD do it". In today's world, outrageous stuff turns up on the news every week, and you'd think that SOMEONE should have had more sense, or exercized more restraint, whatever the specific "thing" is. Thank you for taking time to review, and I hope you continued with the rest of the story.

When Harry was hit by the killing curse, a horcrux was created. In this story, Harry is affected by the piece of Voldemort's soul inside his head in a more noticable way than in the books. Muggles, not knowing any better, decide he must be mentally ill. What effects might the treatment on a psychiatric ward have for the boy-who-lived and the wizarding world?

    A nicely plotted story and such a treat to see it finished. With the help of a beta for the typos and grammatical errors I don't think there would be very many negative criticisms toward this story left.

"But Harry," Albus reiterated his question. "What do you think, makes you different?". This was a special school, he couldn't be the only one; having Aspergers wasn't what defined Harry, but what was?

    Harry's had a hard life so far living with the Dursleys and Aspergers but perhaps Severus can help. I'd love to read more as I enjoyed this chapter very much.

Severus has a coincidental meeting with a very open young boy. They talk - mostly the boy. Afterwards he can’t get the boy out of his mind. Entry into the Holiday Fic Feast of 2013.

    Wonderful story. The first chapter made me tear up as Harry shared his gingerbread men with Severus.

On that fateful Halloween, Severus entered Godric's Hollow to find Voldemort dead and Lily and Harry missing. The mystery sent Sirius Black so insane that he spent the next three years searching for them. He found them. It was not a happy discovery.

Warning, begins with gothic horror but becomes a sweeter story as the chapters go on.

    Such an intriguing story, I hope it hasn't been definitely abandoned.

    I especially like Severus and Sirius working together to care for Harry and his little brother.

    Very funny story.

    Author's Response: Thank you. Glad you liked it :)

Severus adopts Harry with a little help from the worlds most... unexpected social worker. A fluffy little fic that's been on my mind for some time.

    What a satisfying though regrettably, brief, story, of an alternate life for Harry. And Tom ... who deserved a second chance, as we all do.

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Harry, who was quite convinced he didn't matter...

    Great story, made me tear up. I'm so glad Harry found out that he DOES matter.

Entry to the Winter Fic Fest. It’s a long standing tradition at Hogwarts that every year the professors collaborate to provide gifts to those students who would not be receiving any gifts from friends or family. This year, it’s Snape who gets to play the role of Santa.

    One person who cares can do a lot for an unloved and abused child.

Entrance into the summer fic fest of 2015. Someone noticed that Harry was being abused and as a result he was removed from the Dursley’s care. Now he lives with his grandfather in Cokeworth. Enter Severus Snape, who’s in town to clean up his childhood home after his father died.

    Very well written story. I enjoyed Severus' gradual warming towards Harry though there's a bit of foreshadowing as to Mr. Evans' health and the possibility of Dumbledore wanting to return Harry to the Dursleys' that makes me uneasy.
