About me:

I have been aquainted with fanfiction for quite some time and find that in these days after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, that it has become all the more prominant staple in my life.  I have yet to try to write any Harry, Severus fanfiction or any pretaining to Harry Potter characters in general but enjoy reading them immensly!  Thus, I find myself to be a reader and reviewer instead of a writer...

...Well, perhaps not now anymore...I finally started posting my pre-Hogwarts fic, "The Truth About Tomorrow."

Ok, so reading and reviewing is still a lot better than writing, I'm not terribly creative and in my fic you'll find some borrowed information from other fics that you've read.  It's never something major, but the reference and connection can be seen if you look really closely.  This information also is usually something that has been accepted as 'true' in the fic world.  But the main plot of the fic is still mine...if I ever do plot it out fully.  I should really do that some day..

    Great chapter!!...NOOO!!! You can't almost be finished!!...although I realize there isn't much left to the story I seriously hope that you do a sequel, then!  Please!?

    I really did love this chapter, though!  It was great from start to end and all through the middle!!  I like how Harry's kinda distanced himself from Dumbledore, which made the conversation Snape and Dumbldore had even more awesome!  "On the contrary.  He talks to me."  That was a swift kick in the...well, you know.  Ouch!  But Go Sev at the same time!

    It was interesting how Harry was comfortable talking to Severus but not to his friends, but also really in character.  I just like that!  It was sad though, how Harry was able to justify his not talking with McGonagall's easy dismissal of the trio.  Harry really doesn't have a lot of adults he can rely on...well, I guess there is one...

    And a great big hug goes out to that adult...Severus!  I just loved him in this chapter!  It was great to see him crouching down to talk to Harry!  Perfect!  I also love this emotional!Snape...and it was great that Harry was able to make them break free a few times, and Lily too!!  *sigh*

    The ending was perfect, I do say!  I loved the double meaning of Harry's obedience coupon...and seriously hope that Harry does stay put and that Severus does return in less than three hours!!!

    I can't wait to get Harry alone with Ron and Hermione to talk about Snape being Harry's dad...poor Harry for having to deal with it.  I know it's not going to be pretty no matter what, but please don't let Ron be a total arse about it...if that's at all possible.  *sigh*  Ron.

    Well, I hope you enjoy your weekend!  Good luck with the next chapter!



    Author's Response:

    I am currently undecided about a sequel.  Or rather, I want to do one, but it's got to have a plot - I don't want to simply rewrite the second book, for example.

    Heh, yeah, Severus' little comment to Dumbledore was very specifically intended to get a reaction.

    I'm glad you liked the scene with Severus crouching down to talk to Harry.  For some reason I got it in my head that Severus (at least the way I write him) goes out of his way to put himself at Harry's height when he has something important to say.  So some kneeling and crouching in their Big Serious Converstions ;)

    As for whether Harry stays put, and Ron and Hermione's reactions, all that will be seen in the next chapter!

    Teehee! Poor Severus...but this was an amazing chapter and I'm glad that he's ok! Harry on the other hand...and will we learn more about what happened down there with the stone next chapter? I can't wait for all these confrontations about feelings and parents! Yea!

    I loved reading how anxious Harry was while made to wait for Severus to return. It is a good thing that he couldn't wait the whole three hours and that McGonagall listened. I guess not talking to someone for almost an entire school term really helps to get their attention when you do actually talk to them

    Oh, also really glad that Ron and Hermione didn't freak out about Severus being Harry's dad. *sigh* Friends.

    I too liked the "Apparently what parents do is die!” line and Severus' clever rejonder...oh that Slytherin. And Harry's "Daddy" comment...that poor boy, he must be horrified. And Poppy's great! I just love her.

    And again that last line...but I can't wait for the next chapter to see what happens! I really hope that your muses help you to find a plot, because you're really good at writing and I'd throughly enjoy a sequel...get goin' muses!! Have a good week and good luck with the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    I'm still trying to figure out if we'll discuss what happened with the stone in the next chapter, the epilogue (if there is one) or if it'll be in the beginning of the next story.  Oh well, it will work itself in there somehow!

    One can't help but understand Harry thinking that 'what parents do is die', it's a pretty sad thing to believe.  That's why he was so relieved and why he said "Daddy" without thinking.

    He's pretty horrified with himself, and refuses to cooperate with the muses for the moment, but he'll come around ;)

    I adore this interesting turn of events you've created here! It is definatly the most imaginative Snape adopts Harry story I've ever read and I love every minute of it!! I'm so glad that both Severus and Harry are ok and happy in their new understanding. This ending was perfect and I seriously can not wait for the sequel!! Please update as soon as you can!!

    Author's Response:

    The sequel will probably be a bit of a wait.  But not too long, I imagine, because they won't stay out of head.

    Thanks for your thoughts :)

    This is an awesome story! I love the way Snape acted through this chapter!! Keep updating and I'll keep reading!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!  I'm always thrilled to hear that Snape's portrayal is good, he's a tough one.  Will update soon.  Looking forward to hearing from you again!

    So when is the next chapter going to be up? This is such a good story, and I believe it's the only one where Snape is a "warrior/soldier" that teaches Harry the art of defence. I really can't wait to read what happens next...you left us with a bit of a cliff hanger. Hopefully Harry isn't captured again, but then again...no, because he would most likely be killed on sight. But, keep writing and I'll keep reading!

    Author's Response:

    LOL!  That cracked me up.  "Hopefully Harry isn't captured again, but then again...no"  Ah, we'll see.  Of course, I already know.  (smirk)

    I'm writing the next chapter right now and when it's done, I'll send it off to my beta.  So...a few days or more.  :)

    I am REALLY glad you like this Snape too.  It's like therapy for me after DH.  LOL 

    Thanks and enjoy!

    Oohh! I've been waiting forever for an update and it's here!! Great chapter, although I feel horrible because I don't remember all of the back story from all the previous chapters. But, it's all great from where I sit!

    Really good job of characterization with Severus, everything he did I could see him doing. Especially his treatening of Remus due to his improved relationship with Harry.

    Can't wait to see if Harry's ok. Hopefully there's nothing really life-threatening that would cause him to die and thus cause Snape to kill Reumus. (Although it would be an intense ending!) I really hope that Harry is able to stand up to Snape and say that it wasn't Remus' fault. Hopefully Severus goes easy on him!

    Can't wait for the next update!

    Author's Response: HI!  Sorry it's taken me so long to respond.  I really appreciated your review.  All (or at least most) will be answered in next chapter, which is with my beta.  Enjoy!

    I absolutly love Snape's demeanor and attitude towards everything Potter. For me, if any Snape/Harry fanfic were even plausible, yours would be possible. Keep writing and adding chapters! I need all the Potter I can get now that J.K. is finished with her story. However, yours is amazing! I love it! (The only thing is that the Remus/Snape relationship and interactions seem a little off-but I don't know what it is...sorry I can't be of more help.)

    Author's Response: Hi pkrosche, thanks for the review!  I'm not really sure what you mean by the Remus/Snape relationship being off, as they've not had much interaction onstage.  Do you mean the way they talk about each other? Always open to suggestions, me . . .

    Ahhhh! I love this sooo much!! Although I'm kinda grossed out by Snape's teeth! Ew! Can't wait for the next chapter...

    Author's Response: Hehe, crooked teeth.  They may really be perfectly fine, though, and Harry's just being mean . . . you know, in case Snape reads his journal.  ;-)

    Wow, this story is just getting better and better! I am really amazed at the depth of character you've adapted to Snape and Harry while maintaining J.K.'s original characterization. I can't wait until Wednesday (or Thursday). I just hope that Harry dosen't tell Remus what happened while he was captured...it would make Harry's relationship with Snape less important. Keep writing!

    Ooh! GO Harry! I'm kinda- don't take points!- glad that he got into Remus, for some reason, I just really like Snape and how he protects Harry. Remus always seems too soft, making Harry out to be a child, and after what happened to him in your story- he is definatly not a child. I'm also really glad that Harry is willing to move on, although there wouldn't be much of a plot if he just gave in. I really can't wait for more occlumency lessons, they're always so intense! I just love this story and how Snape and Harry's relationship has progressed and matured. Please keep reading and don't change Snape once he becomes Harry's guardian...his characterization is right on the ball and amazing!! Good luck with the upcoming chapter!
