About me:

I'm Yasona! Sorry I won't give away my real name.

I'm a nineteen-year-old college student. With all the wonderful writers on this site, I'm afraid my writing makes me look younger than what I am. 

 I will try to review if I read your story and/or chapter, but it's a new thing for me and I have a horrible tendency to forget.

My family and I have six cats and one dog. Obviously we love animals or I wouldn't name them in the next sentence. Oldest to youngest: Comet, Autumn, Purry (my bro when he was twelve named him), Athena, Louis, and Franklin (at about seven weeks old) are the cats. The last three are kittens and adorable, and Purry's a young adult, and the first two are getting in their years. Theo, short for Theodore, is our puppy's name. He's a black lab mixed with something and hugely energetic.

I hope you check out my stories! And like them. I'm a glutton for constructive criticism!

    I just found this and read it through. It's a very interesting idea and I hope you continue it.

Snape and Harry resume Occlumency lessons in book six, with significantly different results. Harry grieves for Sirius (rather than getting over his death impossibly quickly). Things... ensue...

    Yay! A refreshing Snape/Harry occlumency perspective! It even makes sense! And you are a very good writer, and I completely love this story.

Title: Chapter 4: A Lesson 09 Jul 2008
Reviewer: Yasona Black (Signed)
    Okay, so there's really not that much to critique; I read the chapter probably three times and thought about it really hard, as i also adore comments. But I do think i may have found something.

    "The old man smiled then, from his beard to his eyes." It feels a bit passive, I think, and a little halting. It's not a bad line at all, but it's not a great one either.

    "The angle of Dumbledore’s head was such that his eyes again met Harry’s." This sentence feels a little odd. I understand what it is saying, but I don't know...

    Also, I love how you're showing how Harry is changing, becoming more determined. In book 5, had Dumbledore asked about how everything was going he would have said no. In your story and in book 6, he says yes, but you also support it with why he has suddenly changed. which is very good, and this story totally rocks!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you very much for taking the time!

     
    "The old man smiled then, from his beard to his eyes." I agree; it's probably not the best way to put it. I think the beard might be throwing it.

     
    "The angle of Dumbledore’s head was such that his eyes again met Harry’s." This is probably a consequence of my technical writing. I like math, you see.

    I'm glad you like my portrayal of Harry (and my story!).  


Snape bakes a cake. As proof positive that no, I don't have a sense of humor. And that I should stay out of the chat. This is a cake fic that will suck all the happiness out of you.

Reviewer: Yasona Black (Signed)
    Wow. Nicely dark with a touch of humor at the end that made me burst out laughing.

Harry Potter is hearing a voice in his head. It isn't the enemy, it isn't a ghost or even his own conscious... and that isn’t even the main problem.

The Dursleys kicked him out, and after Harry's near death experience, Dumbledore feels it is best for Harry to go into hiding, and at the most unlikely place anyone would ever think to look... Snape Manor.

    Ah, Harry sticking his nose into everything again. I can actually see Snape being like that about Harry's attempted suicide. He feels very real. Loving the story! What happened to the voice?

    Author's Response:

    heh, i agree. Harry is probably one of the most intrusive characters in the history of literature.
    i really didnt know how snape should act with harry's situation at first, but when i started writing this chapter it worked itself out. im glad i did it right and as for the voice, it's still there and will be sticking around for quite a while. Harry will be talking with it more and more in these next couple of chapters, though he wont find out what it is exactly more towards the ending of the story. thanks

Reviewer: Yasona Black (Signed)
    Nice chapter, but watch your use of accepted versus excepted. In the beginning you used excepted twice when it should have been accepted. But other than that, I enjoyed the chapter and hope for more.

    Author's Response: thanks, and thanks for pointing that out, i am horrible with those kinds of things!

What if Dudley was a wizard? And went to Hogwarts? Things aren't looking too good for Harry Potter, or for Severus Snape. AU, of course.

Title: Chapter 6: Balance beam 29 Aug 2008
Reviewer: Yasona Black (Signed)
    I liked the fact that Harry fought back and punched Dudley. I don't think I've ever seen that in fanfiction...True, the detention is cliche but can we expect anything else from Snape? The chapter felt really short though; it could be because I was really into it and just wanted more, but also, there was only the finished half of one scene and one other. That's just me whining though.

    I can't wait to see how it's all going to play out!

Title: Chapter 5: Fit in 05 Aug 2008
Reviewer: Yasona Black (Signed)
    I don't want brownies. I want another chapter!! Please?? I do have a question though, isn't Dudley a year older than Harry? Or are we just pretending he's the same age? Other than that, I do love the story.

    Author's Response:

    Is he? I didn't know that.
    I just assumed they were the same age and in the same school year.

    Dudley had a birthday in the beginning of Philosopher's stone... And that was just before summer break, because when Harry got out of his cupboard again, summer vacation had started... So for the sake of the story, we'll assume he turned eleven than. :)

     

    Thanks so much for your kind words :D 


Severus Snape hates the middle of April with a passion. Maybe if Harry had known why, he wouldn't have volunteered to test Fred and George's new appearance-altering product...

    ah dang...cliffie plus a wonderful story. amazing and frustrating combination. I love the way you are portraying the characters, they seem very cannon, and it feels like this could have most definitely taken place in the books. good job and update soon please!

A summer road trip through Muggle America comes to a halt when the car that Ron, Hermione, and Harry have purchased breaks down. Walking to the nearest gas station, Harry encounters the last person he thought he ever wanted to see…and his 1987 Camaro. But there’s a side to Severus Snape that no one knows about: a free riding rebel that would rather don older rock tees than robes and still breaks rules wherever he can. Little do they know it, but the Golden Trio is in for one hell of a summer. - Summer after sixth Year - Non-HBP and DH compliant

    That was...wow....Sevvy is scaring me, but I find this story oddly appealing. Reading the summary, I was unsure if this would be pulled off, but I believe you're doing it. Good job and good luck!
