Gryffindor!
As Harry comes of age, he must discover the secret of how Voldemort cheated death and find a way to defeat this evil once and for all. Along the way, he will have to contend with Death Eaters, shadowy Ministry officials and suspicions that threaten to tear his own allies apart. And he will need to delve farther than ever before into the mysteries of the mind where victory can only be won by freeing the chained souls.

- I read this fic and the previous installment just before Deathly Hallows was released, but I only just got an account here (especially so that I can review all these wonderful fics). I must say I'm beyond grateful that wonderful authors such as yourself have taken the time and effort to write something so beautiful for us readers to enjoy. Truly, words fail to describe how much I loved reading every moment of this wonderful series; to be honest, I much prefer your version of 6th and 7th year to HBP and DH, now THAT's really saying something! THIS is how Deathly Hallows should've ended, dammit, not with Snape's body lying somewhere in the Shrieking Shack with no mention of even a proper burial...
OK, I'll stop ranting now, but I just wanted to let you know how happy you've made me (this series is now one of my favorite fanfics of all time!), and that I hope you'll write more great fics like these in the future! :)
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.

- Oooh, what to say, what to say? There are so many things I love about this fic that it'd take all day for me to list them all!
First of all, I just wanted to thank you for giving us readers something so nice to read! I especially love how you've kept Snape and Harry in character (and the Q&A amuses me to no end) - bravo!!! *thumbs up*
Anyway, I look forward to your next chapter - please update soon!
Author's Response: Wow, a whole day? Aw, I'm flattered - thank you!

- *squeals*
OMG I LOVE YOU!!! Yes, an update!!! I've been waiting for a new chapter for ages! Thank you! ^___^
Your story just keeps getting better and better! Poor Harry. *hugs him* (When are Snape and Harry gonna cuddle again? Odd question, I know, but it's just that whenever they mention the poor boy's nightmares and awful treatment from the Dursleys, I so wish for someone to give him a hug!)
Oh, and Harry's dreams are getting more and more interesting! (I can't believe you ended the chapter on a cliffie like that! Gaaargh! But I guess it's good in the way it makes me want to read more...) I can't wait to see how things develop, especially now that Harry seems to be clairvoyant! Anyway, great chapter to a great story - please update soon!!!
Author's Response:
I love you too!!! hehe :)
Maybe stories ought to come with a cuddle guarantee so you know before you start a story what you're getting yourself into. ;) Can't guarantee when or how much development you'll see right away, but I'll go so far as to promise a few *awww* moments before you're through with this fic.

- Have we seen the last of Harry’s dreams?
Probably not, I don't think. In fact, I'm hoping to see more of them, since they seem to be so very interesting! Oooh, Seer!Harry ... that's so bloody awesome! Giving Trelawney a run for her money now, eh?
Are Snape’s loyalties truly decided?
I'm hoping he sides with Harry, of course!
Will Snape continue to resist in helping Harry to learn Occlumency?
Hopefully not! Especially in light of recent events!
Will Voldemort succeed in his plans to capture Harry?
...Given the nature of the visions so far, probably yes. (Although I'm already wincing in sympathy pains ... it's gonna be hell for poor Harry!)
And finally…will Snape and Harry EVER learn to just get along?
Hopefully, yes! :) I'm most looking forward to it, in fact!
You know, nothing delights me more than seeing my favourite fics being updated after returning home from a long tiring day! You've really made my day now with this update - thank you! This chapter kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through ... and OMG I can't believe you just ended it there like that! Ah, the suspense is too much! How is it that you manage to draw me into the story further with each chapter? My only complaint is that there's not enough! Please please please update soon!!!
Author's Response:
hehe, It's fun reading your answers to my questions! Let's see...how much to give away? Well, I'm gonna tell you you're right on the first question. The rest...well, it's fanfiction, so not too incredibly hard to figure out if you've read enough, but I think I'll leave them open anyway. I might decide not to go the predictable route, you never know... ;)
Thank you for the long review! If my story made your day, your review definitely made mine! :)

- This chapter = LOVE.
I love the way you worked in the mirror and Dobby, and Harry's Occlumency practice was so wonderfully written! Your Snape and Harry characterisations are top-notch, and I was holding my breath in the whole sequence with Harry, Snape, and the mirror! But yes, they've at least taken a step in the right direction!
Author's Response:
Aw! I love LOVE! Especially when it's directed at my story! :)
Hehe, nice little crossout there. I wouldn't hold my breath in the near future for true, honest to goodness *both are fully alert and aware of what they are doing* cuddles. But I hope to get you going "aww" a couple times over the next few chapters... ;)

- Noooooo, Mrs Figg!!! Dammit, why do all the nice ones have to die??! *sniff sniff*
Oooh, poor Harry, I really hope he doesn't end up seeing Mrs Figg's unfortunate demise ... as if he hasn't seen enough horrible things already!
Gaarrgh, Snape, you could try being a little more sympathetic to Harry, couldn't you?! *sigh* But anyway, I can't WAIT to see Harry and Snape's Occlumency session in the next chapter
Author's Response:
As I answered to someone else...it was either Mrs. Figg or Lupin. Are you as sad now? But don't worry, Lupin's staying put, and he'll re-enter the picture in a few chapters or so.
Not if Snape has anything to say about it. I can't tell you how many comments I've received on the possibility of Snape singing! hehe! Of course, about half of them want him to sing, and the other half beg me not to let him...
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.

- Oh bloody hell. *sniff*
This chapter made me teary! The Snape/Lily thing was so bittersweet when I read it in DH, and to see the way it played out here with Harry thrown into the mix ... oh goodness, you wrote it just so beautifully! All through the story, these snatches of memory/past sequences are so well-written, and are some of my favourite parts of this story! Please update soon - I can't wait to read the next chapter!
The summer after 5th year, Death Eaters find Harry abandoned in the Dursley house and bring him to Voldemort. Will one particular Death Eater give up his position and his hate to save his enemy's child? Eventual Snape mentors Harry fic.

- It's not often that I'm struck speechless by fics, but OMG I think yours may be one of them. I've read quite a few fics like this before, but none of the authors have handled such a serious and delicate subject matter like this with as much finesse as you've done. Seriously, two thumbs up. Very well done. I cannot wait to read the next chapter - please update soon!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm really chuffed that this story seems to resonate with so many readers. I should have a new chapter out tomorrow.

- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *screams*
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! How could you just leave the chapter here??! AHHHHHH!!! Die, cliffies, die!!!
*ahem*
Um, sorry about that. I don't deal very well with killer cliffies like that. But anyway, I'm loving this story more and more as I read it! I abolutely LOVE the way you write Harry, and his reactions are so believable given what has happened to him ... one of the best things I love about this story is how everything is so realistic and believable, down to the details like the memory extraction. I love the way Snape and Harry interact, too. This is fast becoming one of my favorite fics of all time...
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now. Please please PLEASE update soon!

- I really, really love this story. I really, really do.
I think you're doing a most wonderful job! I'm sure it must've been hard, as the issues you're dealing with here are really serious, but you are handling them very well and doing them the justice they deserve. I can also see how it will be cathartic, too.
Poor Harry! *huggles him* I really hope those bastards pay for their heinous crimes, you know. Uuuugh ... I'm feeling enraged on Harry's behalf! ...Which just proves how great of a writer you are, in that you can get me so drawn into your story! Thank you for the update - I can only hope that you update again soon, since I'm so very anxious to read the next chapter!
