A truly horrible thought occurred to Severus, if Petunia had failed to give her nephew the most basic necessities, what else had she withheld? Springfest 2016.

    I'd like to have seen Snape's "talk" with Petunia

After the third task of the Triwizard Tournament, life in Privet Drive is even more horrible for Harry. Nightmares, chores, punishments... But his life will change when he finds a black cat.

    Harry needs to tell him.
    I'm still curious how Harry ended up broke in the first place. He also should've been buying himself food (at least PB&J).
    Maybe Harry should take one of his sickles to a coin dealer and get paid for the silver. That would net him more than some of those other jobs he's doing.

    Author's Response:

    I should think the wizarding world has laws about selling wizarding coins to Muggles. For all we know the coins have "Wizarding Currency" stamped on them. Though to be honest the reason Harry hasn't considered it because I the author didn't think of it. Perhaps in a re-write I'll add it in (and credit you), but it's a bit late in the narrative now.

    Thanks for reviewing! 


Dumbledore has requested Snape retrieve something valuable for the Order and stop Voldemort from getting his hands on it. Unfortunately Snape is also required to take Harry as they need a Parselmouth. Along the way, both learn more about each other and Snape's ideas and assumptions are proven incorrect.

    So They're making Harry work when he is obviously injured. Stupid

    BTW did Snape get Harry's wand from the Dursleys or is it still locked in a box?

    Author's Response: Yeah Dursley's are not the sharpest tools in the shed.... and I really should have mad it clearer (and I'll go back and edit it) that Snape did get Harry's wand back.

    How the hell did Fudge know where Harry was and where was Pomphrey?
    And if that mission was OH-so-important, why didn't Dumbles provide a portkey for the return trip?

    It's not the Dursleys I'm referring to. MOLLY is making him help clean #12 when he's obviously injured.

    (The Dursleys always work him injured)

[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make. Harry wishes he could just be a thirteen year old boy, and begins to wonder if he’ll ever have the childhood he desires the most. Some of the warnings listed just as a precaution for things mentioned or alluded to.

    Knockturn needs more advertising.
    (Maybe Harry should suggest the idea of coupons to the magical public)

    BTW where on your map would the Weasley twins shop eventually be?

    Author's Response:

    There are going to be some changes in the upcoming chapters that will make space on Diagon for new businesses.  However in this universe I'd like to think with all the changes being made to Knocturn that the twins would want to open up a shop there, especially seeing as how Knocturn has always been forbidden to them and that's just the kind of thing they would do as soon as they're of age.  It will all be more clear when you see the changes happening in the next chapter.  A new map will be coming out too.

    Coupons are a great idea.  I never even thought of that.  I'll have to think about how Harry would incorporate that into his plans.  I also hadn't thought of advertising.  Maybe Harry could get an ad on wizard radio or put fliers up in the Leaky Cauldron.  There's all that space on the brick wall behind the Leaky Cauldron where fliers could maybe go... 


After 1st year, Harry is warned by Dobby not to return to Hogwarts. He runs away and is gone for nearly a year before he is tracked down/rescued by Snape. His enrollment is revoked, so he can only stay at Hogwarts if he's taken on as an apprentice. Can Prof. Snape's firm hand mentor him and help him prepare for his future?

    Where's Hedwig been while Harry was on walkabout?

    Author's Response: She's been chilling in the Owlery. Snape & Dumbledore brought her back (they picked up all his things) when they went to the Dursley's after Harry ran off.

    Thanks for the review, lol.
