    Thank you for a wonderful chapter. You are doing a fabulous job portraying Harry's emotional neediness and instability.

    I particularly appreciate a cliffie free chapter! Please update quickly!

    Author's Response: thank you very much! A bit more fluff in the next chapter ;-)

    Wow..........I can't wait for the next chapter. I am dying for the background on Loki.

    Author's Response: oh trust me, there is some!

Thirteen-year-old Harry is forced into the body of another Harry in a parallel world, where Snape adopted him years ago. And Snape is enraged to discover that his son has been replaced by a stranger. In our world, Snape discovers a new Harry--one who sees him as a father he never wanted to be. Each Harry must learn to survive in a strange new world, and search for a way home.

    Fantastic! Please don't make us wait so long for the next update!

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'll do my best. 

When Severus Snape finds a certain brat-who-lived out after curfew the year after Voldemort's return, it starts a chain of events that he wouldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams. Or nightmares.

Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Great chapter! Severus' internal dialogue is terrific!

A near tragedy and a shocking discovery lead two bitter enemies to much soul searching and eventual acceptance of each other. Much angst along the way though. Some Ginny and Harry.

Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Lesley, I just found this wonderful story and it's taken me several days to read. I love how you've written the interaction between Harry and Severus and made it realistic.

    I wish I had time to do a complete review, but I'm sure you understand how hectic real life can be.

    I hope you can update as soon as RL permits.

    Donna

    Author's Response:

    This feels like deja vu, Donna. I just answered your last reviw for Muggle. I am glad you found ASD. It is my first baby and, I think my favourite. HArd to decide. Certainly, it gets many more readers than Muggle, here and at fanfic.net.

    And I know only too well how RL gets in the way and I appreciate the effort.

    Lesley

    Hi Lesley-
    I hope the lack of reviews isn't keeping you from updating. This is an absolutely wonderful story and I am enjoying it immensely.

    I hope all is well for you in RL and you can update soon.

    Donna

    Author's Response:

    Sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to you Donna, but I only just found this review. Somehow I managed to delete it from my in-box before I responded to it.

    Lack of reviews will not make me stop updating, I promise. And the response to my A/N has been telling to say the least. Many more reviews this chapter. It's a shame it doesn't happen without me having to beg though.

    Thank you for all of your reviews, though.

    Lesley.


Title: Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Stronger. 18 Dec 2008
Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Lesley-

    Thanks for the update! As usual, another great chapter. I thought Ron's reactions were natural and totally in character.

    I would have loved it if Flitwick and Poppy had heard Minerva's comment about Sev being an old softy!

    Donna

    Author's Response:

    Thanks Donna. Glad you enjoyed it and glad that you were happy with Ron. I think Flitwick and Poppy both might have their suspicions that Sev isn't totally the acerbic character he usually comes across as. They have known him for a long time, after all.

    Lesley


Title: Chapter 37: Chapter 37: The Bequest 22 Jan 2009
Reviewer: Poirot (Signed)
    Lesley-

    Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your sister. I lost a sibling last year as well and, although I'm sure the circumstances are different,I understand the pain of it.

    That said, thanks for another wonderful chapter. It amazes me how you show Severus warming towards Harry while still keeping him in his usual snarky character. I am also enjoying your characterization of the ever clueless Ron.

    Thanks Again, Donna

    Author's Response:

    I was going through my reviews Donna and found I had not responded to this one. Thank you for your condolences. I do not think I was functioning very well and so missed several reviews. I know it was a while ago, but I am glad you enjoyed the chapter.

    Lesley~


A duel with Draco leads to drastic and permanent consequences for both Harry and Severus.

    I heard about your story in AFLNO group. I read all of it today at work and almost got caught twice, but was unable to put it down.

    I think the way you deal with Harry's suicidal thoughts is incredibly sensitive and well written.

    Thanks for a remarkable story. Please update soon.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I'm really glad you liked it, though I don't want you to get into trouble at work, lol!  I'll try to update again sometime this weekend.
