Ravenclaw!
The Ministry forces Severus to decide between getting de-aged or go to Azkaban. So he lives a new and better childhood with Albus and Minerva as his parents. Mentioned child abuse but otherwise a fluffy story!

On the night of October 31st, when Voldemort showed up to kill Harry, he found that two of his Death Eaters were already there; traitors. That night left two boys orphaned and seeing no other option, Dumbledore placed both boys on the Dursley's doorstep. Draco and Harry grow up bonding as brothers for they're the only other person they've got to rely on. Come their year at Hogwarts, they're both sorted into Gryffindor. But Severus Snape watches them...will he be able to take them in when they need him; his godson and a boy that should have been his son?

- Aw! It's so nice to see Harry not alone. Not that it's a good thing that they are abused, but it seems somewhat less terrible since he has a companion.
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
Yeah, I agree. What they go through is wrong and unfair but the fact that they have each other does provide them with comfort and makes it not as bad as it could of been for they know that at least one other person does care about them. Thanks.

- I'm really enjoying this so far. I love how close the boys are, though I think it's probably causing some dormitory suspicions...yikes. Anyways, I look forward to reading more and finding out what Snape has to say to them.
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
Thanks, I'm happy to hear that. It is causing some supicions but that'll pass once the boys get used to their own beds. Thank-you, and yeah. :P

| Reviewer: Ponytail Goddess (Signed) |
- Good chapter--I love that Snape is suspicious, but not willing to jump in head first and tackle the problem. He does that too often in fics. Really, the average person tends not to help people if they think someone else will do it instead (sadly). I have enjoyed their interactions though and am looking forward to more!
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
Thank-you! I know what you mean, although it's not because he thinks that someone else will handle the problem but it's more of the fact that he is unsure of the direction to take it. If he gets enough clues or reasons to be concerned, you can bet that he will not be doing nothing about it. Thanks, pleased to hear it and will update asap.

- Great chapter! You have me really hoping that something big is going to happen in the following chapters during Christmas break. My guess is that either Severus will come to some sort of terrible realization about the boys or that he will actually talk to them about how their lives are linked. Anyway, you have me pumped about reading more; keep up the good work!
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
Glad to hear it. Something will be happening during the Christmas break indeed, I wouldn't say it's big but it's certainly important and I think you'll like it. Kinda sad as well, but sometimes it has to be that way for someone to "open their eyes". He won't be talking about how their lives are linked, not yet anyway. Thanks and I will!
-Mel :)

- Very nice! I really liked how shocked the boys were to get presents and how they got different things from different people. It's nice that they aren't being treated like twins, even though they act like them sometimes. I'm curious why you didn't have Harry receive the Invisibility Cloak from Dumbledore though; did Dumbly think Draco would be jealous or something?
Great chapter!
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
I love your reviews, thanks. They're not treated like twins but mostly from the fact that they have different links out there such as two seperate familes etc. True, they do act like twins. And no, the cloak did come from Dumbledore...sorry for the confusion. Thanks.
-Mel :)

- Very nice, though I'm surprised that Snape took the food away from Draco. After all, I imagine many parents would love for their children to choose vegetables and fruits over their normal choices. I am glad that he seems to disagree about the boys bringing hordes of food into their room though--that's a bad habit that they'll need to break once they figure out Snape won't abandon or starve them.
I didn't think your Snape's entrance was too ordinary. Usually, he seems to have some sort of longer confrontation with the Dursley's and it usually involves some sort of punishment that he doles out to them. Your Severus is portrayed in a very Slytherin manner though because he has chosen not to curse them because it would separate him from the boys. He does have a plan when he goes in there and he has thought about the consequences, unlike some stories where he just goes in willy-nilly.
I can't wait to find out how the boy's receive Snape's hospitality and news (if he chooses to tell the boys about how he is connected to them, and I hope he does because they would feel betrayed if he waited much longer--they may already feel it when he tells them now). Please update soon!
-P.G.
Author's Response:
P.G,
It's not so much about what Draco had chosen to eat, it was more the fact that he had what Snape thought to be as "scraps" he took the food with the intention of making the boys a proper meal :P.
OMG, I sooo agree with you there, hense the way I wanted to write it. Snape is a Slytherin (as one myself I know what that is like) and there is no way that he would go in all "willy-nilly" as you humorously put it. Your comments fit what I was thinking perfectly, woo! *gives hug and Dobby hat*. I almost think I am bribing you with those items though lol.
He won't be telling the boys about his connection to them just yet though. But you're right, they may feel betrayed if he waits but if it's told at the wrong time it could also be worst. Will update asap, thanks!
