Past Featured Story Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat by RhiannanT starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 922]
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...

NOTE: This story has a prologue. It is not necessary to the plot of the story, but if you wish to read it, it is called(predictably enough) 'Prologue to Life as Dictated by a Talking Hat'

    This is the second to last chapter?? Is there going to be a sequel??

    Author's Response: Nope, no sequel, just lots and lots of oneshots from various parts of Snape and Harry's lives(including, probably, one or two from the rest of first year) and the lives of the other characters. :0) Thanks for the review!

    I'm so sad that this story is over! But that was a good ending, very solid. I kinda wish the bottom of the page didn't still say "To Be Continued". It makes me too hopeful.

    Hey, Sunny! I haven't started this story yet- I'm about to- but I noticed the AN here and I figured I'd tell you that you used the wrong word. "Enlighten" means "to give knowledge to"... I think you meant "lift my mood". =)

    Author's Response: Thank you very much for the correction. I changed it now.

    Wow, the violence was awesome! I'm usually not into that kind of thing, but in this story it didn't seem forced or anything, and it was only a chapter long so I didn't have my stomach churning with worry after. Yay! Harry is the man, by the way. Took out three death eaters with a kitchen knife. Atta boy!

    It was really well written-all three chapters were. No wonder you have a five-frog rating on this story. It's awesome!

    Author's Response: Thankyou - I'm very glad you enjoyed it so far ^^ I'm trying to get Harry a little more realistic and in the right frame of mind for a war - hence this chapter XD though it will take some time!
