    Excellent chapter. I loved the end. I can just imagine Severus' face at the joint "good night!"

    Author's Response: Cue annoyed grumbling from Severus' end . . .

DH - the scene in the Shrieking Shack. Harry and Snape catch a Wish, and change everything.

    Oh, this was wonderful! It's so wonderful to see them all have a happily ever after! Bravo!

    Author's Response: I do love a happily ever after! :)

Sequel, of sorts, to "Moment of Impact." Harry and Severus' relationship continues to develop through their correspondence during Harry's 6th year. Mainly follows canon but with the H/S mentor relationship established in "Moment of Impact."

    This is one of the loveliest Harry-Severus mentor-guardian fics I have ever read. I love seeing the continuing development of their bond through their correspondence.

    You are a wonderfully talented writer. HAve you ever thought of writing your own original fiction? IF you do, I would certainly enjoy reading it.

    I have to say that this story just keeps getting better and better. I find myself looking forward to the chapter notifications and am as happy when I see them in my mailbox as if Hedwig herself had delivered delivered a handwritten manuscript. Bravissimi!

Harry Potter is not a happy child. He carries a danger inside him that manifests itself soon after he arrives at Hogwarts, and it falls to his new Head of House, Severus Snape, to protect Harry, even from himself…

    What a lovely ending for this fantastic fic. And yes, please share Draco's birthday party with us.

    I've recommended this fic to my friends and twin sister and am sure that they will like it as much as I do. You've done a great job!

    Author's Response: Thank you for your feedback, and thanks so much for reccing my fic! That's really the best compliment an author can ask for.

AU / Death Eaters besiege Hogwarts. A spell from Dumbledore is going astray. A cauldron explodes during potions class. And the old castle enfolds its own magic. Can some students survive the next twenty-one days?

    You have a most intriguing and well-devised story here. I am looking forward to reading the next chapter. THere are a few spots where your choice of words is a little awkward but it is not so distracting that it interferes with me reading the story. I think you are doing very well since English is not your first language. Thank you for being brave enough to share your story with us native English speakers. I have taken 4 years of German in school but I don't think I could possibly write a story in German that would be readable. So bravo and here's a box of virtual chocolate frogs!

    Wow! You packed a lot of stuff in this chapter! I'm not usually one to bash characters but your Ron has to be one one of the most jealous, angry and sociopathic people I've ever read about. If this what he does to his friends I don't want to know what he would do to an enemy. Your Snape is wonderful and a far better teacher than I ever gave him credit for. I look forward to reading the next chapter.

    I liked this very much. You handled the "what if" scenario excellently and you had me reaching for the kleenex several times. I also was ready to wring Augusta Longbottom's neck. Severus was perfect, of course.

    I know this is a one-shot but I think you have the potential for a couple of follow-on fics, like Neville wanting to go to Alice and Frank at St. Mungo's and say goodbye or a conversation between Harry and Neville as they both try to come to grips with the situation.

    You definitely deserve a huge Bravo! for this fic.

    Author's Response: Thank you so much. I am seriously considering a sequel or two dealing with the fallout of the Switch reveal. :). Thank you, for your review. 

Sequel to Switched at Birth. Neville and Harry settle into their new lives. AU.

    Lovely! I'm blotting away tears but smiling.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you enjoyed it. <3. Thank you so much for the review.

This is a tribute poem for Severus, told in his voice, or how I think his voice would be. It's a what-might-have-been, if DH had a different ending.
