    omg... you have to tell me who kaslin is!!! I don't deal well with mysteries and i'm really sick so you should take pity on me and tell me who it is.

Abandoned on the streets, then placed in an orphanage, and finally adopted by a loving woman. Things are finally getting better for young Harry… or are they?

    i like this story so far... the scene w/ catherine seems nice but maybe a little weird that she asked that right away... but i dunno, sometimes that happens in orphanages...

    Author's Response:

    I'm actually hoping to change that scene a bit to make it more realistic. Thanks for taking the time to review!

    I like the fact that Harry is actually trying out for Seeker instead of just getting the job... I hope Connor gets kicked out of his house soon. I

    Author's Response: I too thought it was an interesting twist having Harry try out for a change. As for Connor... who knows. That might happen, it might not. :)

    Yay, a review!! Nick is wonderful, since you asked for that specifically. Connor is an ass. Insomnia, huh? I didn't see that one coming. Not a lot of Snape action in this one, even if he was over for xmas... Hope he's more prominent in the next one. I heart this story!! ~Cait

    Author's Response:

    My latest chapter is finally up and Snape is in it more than the last chapter. Thanks for reviewing!


After the Dobby incident at the beginning of the second book, Harry runs away, and Snape kidnaps him. In an old-fashioned house with no comforts and a huge black dog, Harry finds himself at Snape's mercy as Snape plays mind games and makes Harry live through different scenarios. Though Snape seems crazy and psychotic, Harry begins to see reasons behind Snape's sporadic behavior.

There is corporal punishment, but it is different from what I've written before. This is a Mean!Snape story for the most part. If you're looking for a cuddly story, go elsewhere please.

    this story is so sad!!! i love it, of course, but it's so sad

AU. This is a Snape mentor Harry kind of story. It starts with Harry's summer vacation before his Second Year as Snape comes across something that breaks all delusions about the boy's home-life. Please don't flame. I really appreciate constructive criticism but no flames. Please!

    I think it would probably be prudent for you to know that most people put thoughts in itallics rather than single quotes. It makes it easier to distinguish the thoughts from the rest of the story. Single quotes can easily be missed.

Severus Snape was fully prepared to hate Lily Potter's son. That was, before, the Sorting Hat cast them into a nightmare. It was only the beginning of a world gone mad.

    this story is very dark. it is more chilling than the fluff i usually read. i am intrigued. have you ever heard of a happy ending?

Harry receives a very special gift on his 16th birthday that leads him to the help he needs...Snape is finding respite from his growing pressures and discovers one in need of help. Despite himself, he finds he CAN grow close to another living being. Only..."everything would've been so much simpler if it'd actually been a cat"...
