    "His face was pasty and white, and trembles wracked his frail body. Blood had soaked the bandage on his left hand. Severus gathered the boy in his arms and ran back down the hill."

    Seriously, what is there not to love about Snape/Harry love? If reading that doesn't send shivers up your spine, I don't know what will.

    This chapter was very nice and cathartic XD

    "Daddy?" Harry whispered back, his deep green eyes hardly open a crack. "Please don't go. Don't leave me."

    Plus the fact that he FINALLY breaks down and starts crying. I love love LOVE how Harry cries very late in the story. It would be really weird if he suddenly started crying like two days after he got rescued from the Dursleys, because these things just don't happen like that. But you've given him a chance to settle in and start to feel as though he is safe, which is so nice XD It made me feel all nice and gooey XD

    "Harry," Father murmured, and Harry chanced a look at him, to see sadness and hurt in his eyes."

    I like how this is a very long process, the rehabilitation that Harry is going through XD

    On another note: Draco - cute? Yes. Spoilt? Definately! Something terrible is going to happen to Harry, I can just see it, and then Draco will be sorry. Then again, it will open up his eyes and (hopefully) improve his character, so it will eventually end up as a good thing.

    I have every faith in you to make sure everything ends up alright XD

    "Tears tracked down the bigger boy's cheeks. "S-sorry, Uncle Sev. I couldn't reach him. I tried, but then the squid just exploded!"

    And I always thought the giant squid was a kind monster. I didn't realise he was just being that way so he could snatch up students to eat XD

    But SNAPE! You are an idiot. You are supposed to take Draco under your wing and save him from his father's EVUL ways, not shout at him and tell him to piss off. I thought we had a little chat about your interpersonal skills ... ? Well, whatever, your conscience has been dug out enough that there's no doubt in my mind you'll be feeling its full affects very shortly XD

    POPPEH. You gain points for chewing Snapey out, definately. But then you lose them for making Harry feel like a piece of doggy doo-doo. So now I don't know what to do with you. I shall have to think on it ...

    But YAY! for Snape/Draco reconcilliation, and double YAY! for Snape/Harry love.

    I have an awesome sentence for you, too XD

    "My father's dead," Harry mumbled, and the words hit Severus like a Centaur's kick to the chest. "Car crash . . ."

    "I didn't scream," Draco insisted. "I was just calling your name. You know, in a concerned way."

    Mwahaha, you LIAR. I told you that Harry would soon have you converted - he's really quite lovely when you get to know him XD

    Plus Harry is finally over his magic-on-purpose thing. Have I mentioned I love Snape/Harry love moments? They're just so ... fulfilling and full of love XD

    "Please speak up, Draco, Severus thought. Show Harry you are worthy to be his friend."

    Hopefully Draco will learn in time XD Also - Molly?! Molly is like my favouritest character and is made of awesomesauce XD Plus it's good to know that Ron and Draco will have a chance to get to know each other, what with Harry being the metaphorical glue C:

    PLUS MORE SNAPE/HARRY-NESS! What more is there to say?? XD

    "She turned to Dumbledore and lifted her eyebrows as if to ask what she was to do with a recalcitrant child in her care."

    LOLOLOL XD That's right Molly, put him in his place XD Plus Charlie is so awesome in this chapter. And I'm glad to see Harry is trying his hand at Occulmency XD At least this time it's like 10 million times less painful than what we've come to expect XD

    "Seemingly aware of the admiration he'd inspired, Charlie doled out praise and approval whenever possible, and Severus spoke to him about it over hot cocoa one evening after the two younger boys had gone to bed."

    I wish I had a brother like Charlie ... :C

    I'm so happy about reading this story, and then again so sad that it's over. But then I'm happy again that you are going to write a sequel, so I guess in the end it all works out.

    I think next I have to start reviewing "Better Be Slytherin!" because I love that story too XD

    Author's Response: Thank you, Sweartoad, for your wicked kind reviews.  I got a good chuckle out of your enthusiastic praises and turns of phrase.  I'm already working on the sequel, but still don't have a title . . . Ah, well.  Soon.  Thanks again!  -- rachel

As a first year, Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, and no one is more surprised than his new Head of House.

    I have a lot of love for this story. Which is surprising, because usually I have very little love at all for Slytherin!Harry, but gawd dammit if you don't just kick me in the arse and make me love it anyway XD

    Yeah so this is me saying: I care about this story. Really, I do XD
