A summer road trip through Muggle America comes to a halt when the car that Ron, Hermione, and Harry have purchased breaks down. Walking to the nearest gas station, Harry encounters the last person he thought he ever wanted to see…and his 1987 Camaro. But there’s a side to Severus Snape that no one knows about: a free riding rebel that would rather don older rock tees than robes and still breaks rules wherever he can. Little do they know it, but the Golden Trio is in for one hell of a summer. - Summer after sixth Year - Non-HBP and DH compliant

eep! Lucius Malfoy? eep!
I loved the party, you really brought the magic of the occasion to life. My favourite bits were Severus showing Harry the bottle rockets and Severus and Lizzie. The pool scene was fun too. Lizzie's great; I hope to see more of her!
Commiserations on the computer, but well done for managing to get writing again - it's just the worst feeling when all your work disappears like that. I'm glad you're continuing though - I love this story! It's so original and enjoyable - plus it's now got me listening to Guns 'N Roses! heh heh.

WOW! Great follow-up - I'm seriously hooked on this story and really glad you updated! What a cliffhanger to leave it on... Sev's house is really cool, and the jokes about Baylor being on fire amused me. I do hope you can update soon again - that would be brilliant!

Great chapter, well phrased.
'One did not slip anything into Albus Dumbledore’s tea that he did not already want there.' How true!
I liked the progress Snape has made towards understanding Harry's old situation and the Dumbledore-manipualtion that led Snape to ask Harry questions.
Author's Response: Heh, no one will ever mistake Dumbledore for someone who doesn't pay attention to his surroundings. He's a brilliant character, and knows exactly how to manipulate those around him. Glad you liked his bits. As much as Severus and Harry are annoyed by him at times, he's been key in helping their relationship.

Aww, sweet. That's a really good idea of Severus' and I liked the way he managed to persuade Harry to accept the walkie-talkies. Harry does seem to be getting better, but he's still got a long way to go. Brilliant update - thanks so much for sharing it!
Author's Response: Heh, Harry does have a ways to go yet. He'd do a lot better if I didn't throw these emotional situations at him in every chapter. I keep trying to write an angst-free chapter, and it doesn't work. Thanks for reviewing!

Aww, bless them! Lovely all round chapter - just had to love the twins idea for a landing pad, and thank goodness Harry got the destination right the first time as well. Thanks for updating, it was a nice read! Though I have to say that I'm looking forward to the next one as well!
Author's Response: Thank you for reviewing. Hopefully the next chapter won't be too long in coming.
A short bittersweet story about an unexpected gift that has somehow overgrown into a multichaptered fic. AU.

Wow, fantastic way to start a fic; short and sweet. I take it that Severus knows about Harry's father, but Harry does not? Right! Off to read more :)
Author's Response: Thank you :)

I love the finished version and I love the sap. The end just makes me want to give both Sev and Harry a hug, and I still think the last sentence is a great one to end a chapter on. Well done!
Author's Response: Thank you, Jen!

Wayhey! It looks fantastic and it's all done - you must be so proud! I still love the last paragraph there - it's one of the sweetest I've read in a long time. This was well worth reading!
Author's Response: Thank you very much, Jen! *hands gingerbread Severus* Mila

"Forgive me for neglecting to inform you beforehand; I was incapacitated, and then dead, shortly afterwards." - brilliant, classic Dumbledore, this line was hilarious and really got the story going for me. It's a great start - please write more! *eagerly stares at the spot where the 'next' button will appear*
