    Wow. Very unusual and a very powerful story. You captured everyone perfectly, even if it was a different environment from the Wizarding world... and so sad! It's still catching up with me just now... Great story.

    Wow.

Voldemort wants to build an army of young, powerful, and virtually indestructible Death Eaters. How do Harry and Snape fit into that plan? Entrant in the 2009 Prompt Fest. Prompts: A Dangerous Game and Through the Keyhole

Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    A very enjoyable story - fast paced but not overly so, and just the right amount of chapters for a quick(ish) read. Severus' 'return to sender' letter made my heart squeeze, but at least he's got Harry now and Harry has him! Thanks for writing!

    Author's Response:

    Oh thank you so much. I was worried that the relationship was a little rushed because of the time restraints.

    I had  that Elvis Presley song in my mind as I wrote that phrase!  Too sad, isn't it?  But you are right. He has Harry now.  Thanks for your comments.


On Christmas Eve, an unwanted child is left in a manger and found by a young Potions Master, changing both their lives forever. AU, implied child abuse, neglect, possible CP, Sev raises Harry.

Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    That last scene was such a beautiful image - I can picture it so easily! I like what you've done with this and I'm looking forward to seeing where you go with it. Good luck!

    Author's Response: Thanks and I've update again and there will be more interaction between Harry and Moon Fire/Sev

Title: Chapter 2: Midnight Rendezvous 23 Feb 2010
Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    Oh no - what's Snape going to do! Another absorbing chapter! I'm really enjoying the build-up you have here.

    Author's Response: Thanks! I'm trying to draw out their little meetings because this story initially will take place over a week and then will move more quickly. As for what he'll do, read the next chapter I've posted!

Title: Chapter 3: Midnight Confrontation 07 Mar 2010
Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    Ha! I love the idea of Severus bowing formally to Hermione - great mental imagery there. I've finally got around to reading again - and I can definitely say that this chapter was worth the wait!

    I wonder if Harry really will get to ride Moon Fire in the end... I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to read a horseanimagus!Severus story - and this one contains everything I'd wanted to read in one ;)

Darkness swallowed Severus's childhood and is threatening to engulf Harry's. Will the man recognize himself in the boy before history repeats itself? [Generally short chapters due to (almost) daily updates]

Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    I LOVE this - it's such a beautiful read. One thing - when you said Harry was a Parseltongue, I think you meant a 'Parselmouth', but this is just a small nit-pick in an overall lovely chapter :)

    Author's Response:

    Thanks ^^ (Yes, I know: I had written 'He speaks Parseltongue', then changed it to 'he's a' without revising 'parseltongue' to 'parselmouth' and uploaded without proofreading. Silly me lol)


Title: Chapter 21: Interlude 4: I Shall Wear Purple 26 Mar 2010
Reviewer: wellyuthink (Signed)
    Hahahaha! 'Mr Hissy'! I love it :D

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I thought it would be fun to give the intelligent, illustrious, imposing Slytherin a slightly childish sense of humour lol!

Eleven year old Harry Potter is not the boy everyone expects him to be. Unpopular, picked on, and unable to perform magic correctly most of the time because of a stutter, Harry is the boy nobody wants to be around. What happens when Severus Snape, the Potions Master currently spear heading the anti-Potter party, gets a glimpse of the boy’s true personality and inner workings?
