    love the latest chapter

Just a short drabble about Severus's newly adopted son, Harry Potter. It can either be read as part of my story , "A Means of Survival," (posted at FF.net), or it can be read on its own. I purposely made the style a bit ambiguous for that very reason. During HP & COS.

    a very sweet drabble

Harry wants an expensive broom and Severus tells him to earn some of the money for it. Little does he know his son's scheme will involve the selling of a certain racy photo. AU! Never Again series! Some sexual innuendos!

    That was pretty good JA!
    What a unique story. I love the twists! A joy to read. Funny and sweet

Voldemort is gone and Harry's relatives had no desire to keep Harry for long, so he was placed into an orphanage until he was adopted by a family. But when they pass away a few years later, he is placed into the custody of another who had just moved to Spinner's End. That is when Severus first saw the boy without even knowing who he was. The little boy, seven years old, who was always forgotten, uncared for and treated like filth. Severus watches this boy and sees a reflection of his own childhood. And when they meet, Severus vows to offer kindness where no one else does, in the form of a simple piece of food the boy lacked or a warm blanket for the cold days ahead. And when things get worst, he even offers shelter to the child the world had forgotten and cast aside.
The boy Severus now wants to save.

    Loving the story. I do hope Harry will get rescued soon. Is within the next few chapters? One thing I like (or can't stand) about your stories is that when someone is kidnapped or captured, they don't get rescued the next day. The victims have to fend for themselves and come up with clever ideas to stay alive and safe. Oh he suspense!!!!

    Harry is holding up well. Severus and Skull will be furious when he hears of what Marlene has done to their boy. Stay strong, Harry, stay strong!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, it's in the next few chapters.  Thanks so much for saying that! Since I got another review over on ff.net where the person complained that it was taking too long to get Harry rescued and it was boring.  In my opinion, when you have a person get kidnapped or captured by the enemy in a story, it's because you want certain things to happen to the characters which makes them grow or change or develop new abilties, ect . . .You also want to pue challenges in the path of your protaganists, and having Harry kidnapped and rescued within two chapters is pointless.  Then there's no tension, no room for the character to experience anything except maybe a few minutes of fear, and unless the bad guys were planning to execute him, no challenges to overcome.  In real life people go missing for weeks, months, and years. Sometimes you never find them.  Or when you do find them, they're forever changed by the experience . . . or worse, they're dead.

    And while I won't kill off Harry here, I do want him to learn from the experience, and develop certain aspects of his magic and that resilience to bad things happening.  I also want to show that not only Severus, but other students and teachers also care for Harry, and that sometimes, the good guys don't always have all the answers at once, and a good rescue attempt takes time, planning, and patience and it's not always as easy as cast a Locator Charm and here he is! Some kidnappers are stupid like that, but Marlene isn't. And Sev's not Superman, he has limitations too.  So it's not going to be just Severus alone who rescues Harry, but Severus working together with Lena, Irma, Skull . . .ect and even the book and Harry will all play their parts. Harry's not a damsel in distress, he's going to try his hardest to save himself and not just sit there on his bum waiting for Severus to bust through the door and blow away Marlene. And right now he's being very clever and Slytherin like. Sev ought to be proud!

    This is great. I do hope Sirius will get his freedom soon and Harry gets to know a proper godparent. Oh Marlene, I almost feel sorry for the old witch. I wonder what fare awaits her at the raven society.
