Before Harry arrives at Hogwarts, the faculty have a meeting and decide that Harry will need a mentor to help him adjust, keep him out of trouble, and make protecting him easier. They decide that this person should the Head of the House into which Harry is sorted, presumably Minerva McGonagall. But things, of course, don't turn out as planned, and Harry is harder to deal with than anyone expected. Nobody asked him if he wanted a mentor, after all...

- aw, that was sad and cute at the same time. i'm so glad that you updated!!! please get the next chapter--final (sobs)--chapter up soon. I'm so anxious to see how you finish this out--although I will be seriously displeased if Snape isn't the one to take Harry home at the end of the year.

- that was a good chapter. Snape was fabulous, as usual. Kallie was cool. I almost wished he had been suspended so that I could see what he was like in Snape's quarters, but in the same breath I think that the punishment seemed like a lot. Maybe. Or I just really like harry. He's cute.
Author's Response: LOL glad you liked, and glad you like Harry. :0) Thanks for the review!!

- I'm so glad you updated. Love this story!!! And oh, poor Harry. I wish that the situation had been resolved in this chapter, though. I don't do well with cliffies.
Author's Response: :0) I'm not a huge fan of cliffies, either, to be honest, but the issue just wasn't gonna resolve itself in one chapter. It'll be figured out soon, though, promise. :0) Thanks for the review!! Glad you liked!
