    I'm really enjoying the story. However I think Harry will have an issue with Draco becoming Severus' ward. He may be sympathetic to Draco's plight of becoming an orphan, but he also has just gained a "father" for himself and still has doubts about being abandoned. Now Severus is going to tell him that he has to share with Draco. I can see some regression on Harry's part until more trust is put into their relationship.
    I look forward to your future chapters and have added this story to my faves.
    Keep up the great work.

    Author's Response: Yes, there will be some problems with Draco and Harry together, since neither of them is going to want to share Severus with the other.  Thanks for the review and I'm so glad you like this!

The Sorting Hat intentionally sorted several students into the wrong House. When it decides that it is time to correct that error or risk the fate of the world, Harry Potter's life is thrown upside down. Can he find solace in his new House, or are the wounds on his soul just too deep to heal?

    An interesting read so far. I'll be interested to see why Mrs Weasley is as physically abusive as you portray her.
    My guess as protective and angry as Ron is about Ginny being resorted and moving up a year, that the potential is there for him to be her abuser.
    Keep up the good work. Look forward to the next update.

    Author's Response: Interesting guess about Ron... I won\'t say one way or another, but you\'re certainly the first to guess it was him! =D Thanks again. -August Sky

    I just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying this. This is good therapy for me because I took care of my father for the last year of his life and watched him slowly go down hill. He died this past March and I really feel for Severus if he is the one to discover Lily dead. I did my dad and that probably was more traumatic than anything else I went through taking care of him.
    Keep up the good work, I enjoy all your stories and look forward to more.

    Author's Response:

    Oh God, that would be so terrible, and yet I can see it happening.

    I'm sorry for your loss, my mother is sick with Parkinsons and my dad recently recovered from cancer, and I am always afraid that some morning I'll wake up or come home from work and find one of them has passed away . . .it's scary.

    But if you want to be cheered up, read my new fic, Harry Potter Dogsitter, it's a funny fluffy romp with Harry and a mischievous puppy, kind of like Marley if you've read Marley and Me.  That's my therapy from writing this fic, which is so emotionally intense I am exhausted after writing a chapter. 


After destroying Dumbledore's office, Harry wakes to find himself in the past as an eight year old boy and unable to return to his own time...

Reviewer: lotrluver (Signed)
    I look forward to reading more. How will you explain Harry in the past and mesh it with the present and the situation with voldemort. Snape knows Harry in the past and wizards are taught never to mess with time, yet Dumbledore seems to know Harry and is willing to change him. Hmm, I look forward to the repurcusions this could cause to the modern wizarding world.
    This story has the promise of a great storyline.
    By the way in the paragraph that Dumbledore tells Harry to hush, I think you meant expend magic not expand. only mistake I saw. Otherwise very enjoyable first chapter.

It's Halloween and Something is hunting Harry - if only he could get Severus to believe him. Takes place during Harry's fifth year, not OotP compliant. My take on the Halloween!fic. Soppy and scary in equal parts!

    I really enjoyed your story. The interaction between Harry and Severus was very believable. How many times have we all had that reaction to some weird noise coming after us, only to run to our parents and not have them believe us. Good thing we don't live in the magical world.
    Thanks for the Halloween creeps.
    Don't forget to check under your bed and in your closets tonight.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm glad to see that you think this works, and that you found it appropriately scary! Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to follow it... heh heh.

Harry has one last request before he goes off to fulfill his destiny; he wants Snape to make it easy for him to choose what is right. He wants him to make sure that no student has to face abuse alone, as he so often did. –Set in the beginning of 6th year, AU.-

    Sorry, I tried to review earlier, but my computer likes to lock up at the most inconvenient times.
    I really enjoyed this. I thought how sad, but true the whole scenario is not only in the Harry Potter world but in the real world. Keep up the good work. I really would love a continuation or longer story to this. Excellent job.

    Once again I love your stories and hope you will never stop sharing them. I'm really sorry I don't review every chapter, but my computer likes to lock up when I try to review. Just know that I always review in spirit if I am unable to get through. I also specifically wanted you to know that I love the representation of the Native American culture in your story. Keep up the great work. See you next chapter.

    Author's Response: It's so good to hear words like that! Thank you very much for your review!

That's the sequel to "The Final Breeze". Harry and Severus aren't coping well with their life after Voldemorts defeat. Then a potion accident turns their life upwards down because Harry is turned twelve and Severus thirteen.

    Nice start. Look forward to the next chapter. I love all your stories and I hope your beta for Cherokee Camp gets back to you soon.
    No matter though I hope you continue all your stories. They flow really well and you are able to get caught up in the story. A sign of an excellent writer.

    Author's Response: I hope that my beta will contact me as well! Thanks for your review!

Darkness swallowed Severus's childhood and is threatening to engulf Harry's. Will the man recognize himself in the boy before history repeats itself? [Generally short chapters due to (almost) daily updates]

    A good beginning, look forward to the next chapter.
    In your first sentence you have flying fish instead of frying, no big deal just thought I would let you know.

    Author's Response:

    Well, they could be frying flying-fish ;) Thanks for telling me about the typo: I'm rather dyslexic so while I can spell, I don't always notice if the spell-checker has 'amended' a mistyped word correctly.

Reviewer: lotrluver (Signed)
    Very intriguing chapter, I haven't quite seen another story with this explanation about Slytherin. Keep up the good work. On to read the next chapter.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ This explanation is one that I've always considered to be the most rational, considering how the facts of Slytherins life generally seem at odds with his dark reputation.
