Snow Girl & the Sorcerer's Son by Snapegirl starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 240]
When 10-year-old Harry goes on an early morning shopping trip for Severus’s birthday present, he discovers a girl half-frozen in the snow in Diagon Alley. Little does he know that his encounter with the snow girl will change his family forever, for she harbors a secret past and a singular gift that could bring an enemy down upon them all unknowing. Tale partially based on “The Little Match Girl” by Hans Christian Anderson.

Sequel to A Wolf in Winter, part of the Snowy Encounters series.

Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Oooo - a mad Narcissa! Now,will she side with Severus as well as rip Lucius up? Enquiring minds want to know!

    Author's Response: You'll find out, don't worry.  I'm in the middle of fleshing out her response.

Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    The DADA idiot, of course. Ooooo and when Albus and Severus discover who did it... I hope he knows to run for the hills.

    Author's Response: He is behind it . . .but he's sneaky, they're gonna have to prove it and that won't be easy.  But he'll get his eventually.

Title: Chapter 13: Infiltrating Malfoy Manor 29 Jan 2009
Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Excellent! Loved the questions and the trip across the lawns. Good romp!

    Author's Response: Thanks, it was fun to write this part.  And now you can see who the culrpit is who harmed Filch, since I just posted the next chapter.

Title: Chapter 15: Meetings 06 Feb 2009
Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Excellent writing, as usual. I really want to string up Throckmorton like he did Argus. Good interaction between all the kids. Kudos, friend.

    Author's Response: me too.  I have something very nasty and fitting for him, however.  Glad you liked all the kids.  You'll see the wand-breaking ceremony next and the outing at the lake.  It should be fun to write the next one, since I've never read about an expulsion ceremony anywhere, and that means I've got leave to create a whole new scenario.  Should be very interesting . . .

Title: Chapter 19: A Necessary Humiliation 28 Feb 2009
Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Excellent - better than excellent! Absolutely brilliant!

    Author's Response: Aww, thanks so much!

Torn Apart World by Shoonasasi starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 109]
A summer trapped with Snape seemed the ultimate torture, but when Harry begins to trust his enemy, a terrible betrayal sends him spiraling into desperation. Will he have the strength to survive? Not canon. Mentions abuse. Takes place after 2nd year.

Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Well, that should be an interesting Slytherin meeting - considering Harry let the cat out of the bag at the feast.

    Author's Response: He did make a scene, but he actually said the bit about Severus being his father rather quietly... everyone's realisations will come later. However, I hope you'll enjoy the Slytherin meeting anyway!

    Duh, duh, duh, duuuhhhhh! ***dramatic music interlude****

    God, I loved that scene! Can't you just see the pink toad covered in strawberry trifle!

    Well done, mate!

    Author's Response:

    Yes! And it's cracking me up! Too bad nobody had a camera, HAHAHA!

    Thanks, Zara!


Title: Chapter 13: Concerned Friends 10 Apr 2009
Reviewer: Zarathustra (Signed)
    Glad you cleared up that bit about Oliver - threw me for a loop. Hope Harry/Freedom gains back his equilibrium in front of Snape. They are needed together.

    Author's Response: Yeah, I should have mentioned in the notes there was a reason why Ollie was back.  You're right, they are needed together.  Now you can check out the next chapter, which reveals a long kept secret.
