Slytherin!
Harry Potter is located in London in the dead of night. How exactly did he end up there, and what has he been doing? Well, any kid with half a brain knows not to talk to strangers.

- Well the good news is that unless you're killing Harry off and making him a ghost, this means that Severus will figure out just how depressed and terrified Harry is and he'll finally get some help. Good job with the chapter, hope you update soon.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I think I can safely reveal that I do not plan on making Harry a ghost, so either Snape will help Harry out, or the story is over next chapter. I leave it to you to draw the right conclusion ;)

- Another good chapter. I'm glad things were cleared up between Severus and Harry. Now we've got Hedwig in place. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! There's some good stuff coming up, so stick around :)

- You're so evil, stopping there.
I like how you have Albus as flawed and anything but omniscient, and therefore not so much an evil person, just somehow thinking he could juggle several dozen things at once.
IF only he had delegated a bit ......
Author's Response: Yes, I know I'm evil ;). I always hated evil Albus, even if a story is really good, evil Albus always turns me off. I'm trying to keep his character as close to canon as possible.

- Excellent update. Things are moving along, though I hope that Snape starts investigating a bit, though there might not be much evidence left in the muggle world, unless Mrs Figg knows anything.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Oh, yes, when Snape finds out the details, I've no doubt that all hell will break loose... But Mrs. Figg. Dear old Mrs. Figg. I wouldn't bet on her providing any information. Where the hell was she in canon? That's what I'd like to know. Yeah, Dumbles probably would've done nothing, anyhow, but still...

- I've been really enjoying the story, was glad to see that you updated. I hope Harry and Severus get to have more of a talk soon about Dumbledore and Harry's life.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! This chapter is leading up to a climax in Harry and Snape's relationship, so there are some serious conversations coming up pretty soon.

- I very much liked Jade, brief though her appearance was. Hope you can have her appear in the future.
The talk about science was interesting ... hope you explore the ideas further.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you like Jade; I like her too, though I take no credit for her character, as she appeared in my head fully formed. I do have a few more scienific discussions in mind, so stay tuned.
Over Christmas break, Harry and Snape are attacked by a Ghangzou, a rare, magical genie that shows its victims what life would be like if one thing changed.
What they see will alter their relationship forever, if they'll let it.
(Originally meant for the Christmas challenge, but it sort of took on a life of its own)

| Reviewer: severusphoenix (Signed) |
- I was really intrigued by the whole premise of the Ghangzou and a way to see what 'might have been'. Nicely ended as well. Hope Sirius truly manage to share Harry with no problems. Might give us a little epilogue?
Harry is blinded in an accident at a young age and then disappears from the watchful eye of the Order. How does Snape react to a missing Harry Potter? What happens when he reappears in the wizarding world? What dangers will he face?
Notes: No horcruxes and Voldemort is truly dead, but there are others with evil intent towards Harry and Snape.
Warnings for some descriptions of child abuse and the aftereffects, nothing too violent
Takes Place: 0 - Pre Hogwarts (before Harry is 11), 1st summer before Hogwarts, 1st Year - Snape flavour: Snape is Kind, Snape is Stern

- I am so loving this story! It's fresh and I hope you continue with it soon. I hope Harry is able to connect with Severus fairly quickly before any of the usual gryffs get latched onto him.
Author's Response: Thank you I'm glad you enjoy it!!

| Reviewer: severusphoenix (Signed) |
- I was happy to see an update. I quite enjoy stories with harry as blind. your harry is obviously going to have trust issues since nearly all adults have failed him in some way or the other. It was interesting to have an old mentor of Severus' be blind. Was he a Death Eater, now reformed because of his blindness? it would be interesting if he was, especially if he'd needed help from muggles. Anyway, hope you update soon.
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing, so glad to hear you were looking forward to an update! As for Bartley's past, you will find out! At least I think you'll find out. Originally I thought it would come out in this chapter, but the conversation did not turn that way. I imagine it will come out eventually. I do have a number of background details for this story though that may or may not necessarily end up being included in the actual story.

When Dumbledore sees the welts upon Harry Potter, he removes him from his relative's care at once. His guardian for the summer is none other than Severus Snape. It is an unhappy arrangement-Snape is snarky and snide, making Harry do chores and never keeping him happy. But Harry realises that Snape is not as he seems. In fact, he is just what Harry had needed all along-a support. Warning: CP!

- And the shadow of James Potter's actions arrives! I could see that Lily's actions drove Snape to not accept Harry's apology of "I'm sorry", just as Snape's "I'm sorry" carried no weight with Lily.
Good story, I have trouble with keeping Snape in character but you're doing a good job.
