What's in a name? The-boy-who-lived, prophesied defeater of the Dark Lord, son of the supremely intelligent Lily Evans and talented James Potter, Golden boy of Gryffindor, part-time punching bag and house elf of the Dursleys and the bane of Severus Snape's teaching career, Harry's used to labels. Who would want Harry when they can see instead whoever they like instead? Having never been entirely sure who he is makes him a little too open to suggestion though and unfortunately for him, Umbridge wants to banish his old list of names and create a new one of her own.
Beneath the names others have branded him with will anyone be able to find Harry?

    I am traumatized, but it wasn't too violent, if that makes any sense. And yes, as horrible as it sounds, I am a fan of cats.

    Author's Response:

    Ah, not to worry, heaps of people still seem to like cats coming out of that chapter – after all, it isn’t a cat’s fault Umbitch is so twisted.  And I’m glad it wasn’t too bad... even if it was... and wasn’t... ^-^

    I WANT SEV TO FIND OUT AND HELP!!!!!!!!!

    Author's Response:

    Oh I know, I’m starting to wonder if perhaps I may have dragged the suspense out... you know, just a bit...? ^^ Dont worry, the next chapter I have to upload seems like it might be the most highly anticipated in that regard... Sev will have no choice but to be perceptive when the problem’s shoved in front of him.

    OMG you need to update quickly! I'm going crazy with worry about Harry and I love the fact that Snape is trying to help but he needs to find out what's happening with Harry quickly and do more and Umbitch needs to die and Voldemort needs to die!

    As for the potion... I think that it messes with Harry's mind. It makes it so that he can't disobey Umbitch. It probably also interfere's with Pomfrey's scan. It has a slimy consistency- you said that in the chapter didn't you?- and is called Umbitchacitus (just kidding. I should get points for creativity *grins*). And no, I don't think that was a bird hitting your window. Probably just bird poop. Or a rock from fans who are irritated that the next update isn't up yet :)

    Author's Response:

    I’m so glad I’ve managed to get you to feel so much!  And for some reason so many of my multichapter fics in any fandom ends up leaving people with this desire to see someone dead ^-^  weird.

     It really is the next chapter that most things come out, cant wait ^^. 

    And your potion guesses, Oh they were fun to read ^-^  Well, I’ll tell you that you get ten points for the initial guess about the potion’s purpose... well done ^^ - and as for Umbitchacitus... nice, v. Nice ^-^ an extra four points (you earned quite a bit with all your reviews and good answer you know ^^)... that way you know that that unusual number compared to the rest is all yours ^^

    Hahaha, a rock thrown at my window by all my irritated readers over lack of an update I would believe ^^

    Puff on my wonderful reader, and thank you so much for taking the time to read the whole thing so far, it must have been a bit gruelling, I’ve been told it’s not the happiest read (who would’ve guess with ‘torture’ in the warnings ^^)

    I like your use of repetition in this chapter--for example, where you say "breathing. He needed to get Harry breathing". It's good because it adds an intensity to the chapter, and I like the fact that you use the right amount of that style.

    Great chapter. Please update soon!!

    Author's Response:

    Aw thank you!  I’m really glad that adds to the fic and doesn’t detract instead... I think I end up doing that without thinking so it’s good it doesn’t make my writing crap ^^ *have a muffin* ^^ and sorry it’s been awhile since updating... I’m getting right on it *salutes* ^^

    Yay! You finally updated!! This is such a sketchy fanfic--my stomach twists up every time I read the things that Umbitch put poor Harry through. It's really well written, though.

    This chapter started off and I thought maybe you'd lost your mojo--you used the word "before" four times in as many sentances (paragraphs 4/5). (sorry if that's tactless, it's 4 am. In truth, I'm only saying that in case you feel like going through and editing at a later date.)

    After those paragraphs, however, the story--and the writing--definitely picked up, so by the end of the chapter I was completely enthralled. You're a really great writer, and this story is really good. Keep it up!!!

    Author's Response: Yay, I did! Thank you, thats really sweet, although I’m sorry about your tummy *gives you cookies* feel better ^^ - and thank you so so sooooo much for pointing out the ‘before’ thing, I think I went through it again and still didn’t manage to get them all and *sigh* it’s getting to that time of year... or semester ^^, uni=brain mush unfortunately :( but thank you!I hope the next chapters are equally as enthralling! ^^x

Harry comes to school missing one eye, and pratically mute. He is sorted into Slytherin. Severus Snape dislikes all things Potter. Can he get over his hatred to see the truth?
