    I wonder what Snape and Lupin would think if Harry said that he was thinking of leaving the Wizardry World? Does Harry get to keep the Potter money (if there was any besides his trust vault) since he isn't a Potter? What if in the end he rejects Snape as his father?

    Author's Response:

    All really great questions, which, of course, haven't come up in the story yet, so there's no way to know.

    I've never been able to completely buy the idea of Harry or most other characters leaving the wizarding world. In fact, I think Harry would be one of the least likely to do so, even among characters who were born into the wizarding world and have no Muggle connections at all. He committed himself heart and soul the day he learned there was a magical world and that he was a part of it. I don't think he could break away, even if given a lot of reasons to. He might want to, or even try to, but he wouldn't be able to do it, in the end. That's not to say I don't enjoy fics where Harry is betrayed or sent to Azkaban and subsequently tells the whole wizarding world to go to hell.

    In this story, presumably Snape, as Harry Potter's guardian, has access to the Potter vault, since Snape tells Harry that he now "owns" it, which is a pretty strong statement. We don't have a lot of detail about how the system works, so we have to trust Snape's statement for now, since Harry is such a limiting point of view. The banking system might be no more fair and balanced than other magical systems (like the justice system, which sends someone to Azkaban for life with no trial). This is the same system that allows an escaped convict to access his vault; the goblins apparently do not care what issues the Ministry has with the vault owners. It's possible that Harry's actions against the Ministry (or even leaving the wizarding world, changing his identity, etc.) would have no effect on his ability to continue to use Gringotts as usual, because to the goblins those changes would be irrelevant. Also, presumably not being James' son would not change Harry's right to access the Potter vault, since presumably (in absense of evidence to the contrary) there are no other Potters and James and Lily shared equal rights to the vault because they were married. Harry, even if he turned out not to be a Potter, should still have full rights to the fortune because after James' death it would have passed to Lily in full, and then after her death to her child regardless of the child's relation to James. But for now we really don't know, since it hasn't come up in the story.

    I think it would be a lousy Severitus response if Harry rejected Snape at the end. In the middle, sure, but to end the story on that? It wouldn't really be worth bothering to write, if it were going to end like that. Besides, readers would riot.


Sequel to ‘Harry and the Unexpected Christmas’. Having been de-aged in his sixth year Harry starts again with different priorities, other friends, and unlikely allies. AU, partly OOC, Dumbledore bashing.

    Do you plan on ever finishing this story or putting it up for adoption?

He is found by Snape, and while the professor nurses him back to health discovers the truth about Severus and who are really his friends and enemies at Hogwarts.

    Ut oh a bored, tensed, feeling guilty Severus being confined to a bed? Harry and Draco better stay outside for the next few days.

    Author's Response: Thank you very much for your review! A new chapter is up now.

When Severus Snape is left in charge of Hogwarts over the Christmas break, he is less than pleased to discover Harry will be one of his charges. Events force him to face that Mr. Potter may not be quite what he has assumed all these years.

    I do hope you haven't abandon this story (or lost your muse for it). Now does Harry own the elders wand since he took it from Albus? Or is it a magical transfer like the book hints at but never really explains.

Voldemort is gone and Harry's relatives had no desire to keep Harry for long, so he was placed into an orphanage until he was adopted by a family. But when they pass away a few years later, he is placed into the custody of another who had just moved to Spinner's End. That is when Severus first saw the boy without even knowing who he was. The little boy, seven years old, who was always forgotten, uncared for and treated like filth. Severus watches this boy and sees a reflection of his own childhood. And when they meet, Severus vows to offer kindness where no one else does, in the form of a simple piece of food the boy lacked or a warm blanket for the cold days ahead. And when things get worst, he even offers shelter to the child the world had forgotten and cast aside.
The boy Severus now wants to save.

    Oh wow

Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

Title: Chapter 32: Dinner with Dumbledore 23 Sep 2011
Reviewer: hawkswench (Signed)
    Yeah Harry told Bumbledore off!! He should have done that in the original story too.

Following the death of Sirius, Harry isn't sure what to make of the sudden appearance of a six-year-old boy. The pair form a bond, unaware they're half-brothers, and Harry decides to take the boy to Hogwarts and hide him there. To aide the boy's education, Harry anonymously exchanges letters with Snape.

A story of a how a young boy becomes a father-figure to another while their own father is oblivious of their biological existence. But can sixteen-year-old Harry give what he himself has not gained? Can he go an entire year without being discovered? Just how far will Severus go to find the writer of those letters...Or are some things best left unknown?

    I'm worried about Toby being left with Hagrid without the cloak. I do like the picture. I think the farewell seen was fine after all Aragog did tell his children to eat Harry and Ron.

    Oh I can just picture Sev's face when he realizes that the manor welcomed Harry when it didn't him.
