Christmas Present by Morgana starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 23]
'Discipline' means 'to teach' but Professor Severus Snape's detentions generally only teach his students not to push their luck. One December evening, however, Harry Potter learns something rather unexpected about his least-favourite teacher, something that will set in motion a chain of events which will heal rifts, change opinions and make this Yule a year to remember.

Set in Harry's third year, 'Christmas Present' is the second installment of a three-part series. All couples are canon and romance is only implied ;)

    How sweet (no pun intended)! adn lovely. The reconciliation between Albus and Gellert was beautifully written. And I loved the idea of the origami crane apology spell. I admit that I like the idea that after all he did Grindelwald was remorseful and his identifying each individual victim in the apology shows that while a Dark Wizard, he is at least still human, unlike Voldemort. I find myself hoping that he lives long enough to complete his apologies.

    I cringed when imagining writing that horribly long paragraph 500 times. My hand hurts just thinking about it. And the image of Severus falling asleep while icing the biscuits was touching. Of course, Harry would automatically make the assumption that Snape was up to no good.

    This was a wonderful story and I'm looking forward to the third installment. Happy Christmas to you!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for the review. I'm really glad my portrayal of GG has gone down so well; while most people are okay with good!Lucius, Grindelwald is a bit more contraversial but, well, J.K.R. hinted heavily that AD loved him throughout his life so that rather indicated that GG was a somewhat different warlord to LV lol!

    I imagine that Christmas is a rather difficult time for Severus, given his memories of Lily, and, as he needed to keep the brats out of his hair, 500 lines doesn't seem too out of character lol! Happy Christmas 


A Wizard In Muggle London by chrmisha starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 10]
The second time Voldemort used the killing curse against Harry—and failed—it once again had unintended consequences. What are they and how will Harry survive? And how does a certain potions master come into the mix? ***Pictures added!***

Finding Parental Care by Melethril starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 88]
Harry understands the meaning of loss. What he doesn't know, is that he also deserves to find.

Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Wonderful chapter! I was going to list all my favourite bits but then my review would be as long as the chapter is. So I'll just mention a few.

    The interaction between Harry and Severus was perfect. And I loved the way Harry handled the DA session and Smith and Finch-Fletchley.

    The bit where Severus thought about Neville's extraordinary sense of smell and considered what kind of brewer Neville might have been was very good. It got my imagination going and I want to write up an AU fic where Neville and Snape sort things out between themselves.

    I am intrigued by what Harry's fear is if it is something that a Boggart can't show.

    You did a great job with this. Bravi, bravi, bravissimi!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks :)

    Oh, please write that bit about Neville and Severus. I'd read it immediately!

    This is such a wonderful story! I love it that Tim has Severus' wand and that they will be able to cure him.

    You have an excellent handle on characterization and I truly love the way you bring us into the chapters in media res and still manage to make sure that the reader knows everything they need to know to carry on with the tale.

    Bravo!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you.  I'm very impatient--I don't like to spend a lot of time in setting up scenes.  

    I love these characters.

A Summer's Misadventures by Whitetail starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 121]
Sequel to Days We Learn From. Severus, Harry and Draco are starting to establish their new normal, when day to day life is changed drastically once more thanks to a slight mix up involving a few potion samples. All of this leaves Severus dealing with a new troublemaker, the one he used to be! De-aged to six years old, he's a handful and half to deal with, and his adopted sons, Harry and Draco, will never let him forget it!

    I really liked this story, especially the last section. I laughed out loud at Mark's "Just testing! It works great!"

    And your story graphic is excellent!

Where No Wizard Has Gone Before by DaughterOfAres starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 42]
There is a strange creature loose in the castle. What could it be? Where did it come from? Snape, one of the few people seemingly immune to the creature, must find out before it kills his newly adopted son.

    I'm late responding to this but actually you have two references (albeit one may have been unintentional). I thinkthe first one is Severus imitating JEan Luc Picard when he tells Harry to come in with only a single word. The other is "I'm a Potions Master not a mind reader." That is classic "Bones" McCoy from the original series.

    This is a great idea and I look forward to seeing what you do with it.

    Author's Response:

    You're right. The 'Come' was unintentional but I'll give you an extra 100 points for noticing! :D And Yes, the intentional one was the McCoyism.

    100 points! :D

    Thanks!

Reviewer: dancingkatz (Signed)
    Oh, this was fun! Though why couldn't Harry have taken the tribbles instead? I can just imagine them invading the dungeons and the response of Severus (and everyone else!).

    In order of appearance, the aliens are:
    Tribbles from "The Trouble with Tribbles", a Horta egg from "Devil in the Dark" (one of my most favourite episodes), the Macroviruses from "STV: Macrocosm", the gold liquid is Latinum from DS9: Who Mourns for Morn", the "gila monsters" are Janeway and Paris' offspring from the episode "STV: Threshold", the last was of course, the Ceti Alphan eels from "STII: The Wrath of Kahn". The creature that attacks Harry is a Denavan Mind Parasite from the original series episode "Operation Annihilate".

    Poor Harry! And poor Severus! This is going to be really hard to sort out. OF course, there is the question of what kind of potions Severus could develop from these ingredients (assuming that the room can be found again!)

    GReat job.

    Author's Response:

    *stands up and applauds*

    Excellent!!! 700 points! 500 for naming all the creatures and an extra two hundred for naming all the episodes!! Amazing!!

    As for the room...*insert evil grin*...I have plans for Snape and that room.

    Thank you!! :D
