After mistakenly flooing himself to Snape's home the summer after Sirius' death, Harry realizes that his potions master can take matters into his own hands, literally. Warning: This story does involve the spanking of teenagers. If you have a problem with this, do not read and do not review. Any criticisms about CP will be ignored. But I love any other feedback!

Great! :) You have a lot of typos though - you might want to go back over it later sometime or get a beta. Harry said "Snapdragon Alley" when he wanted to Floo to Snapdragon Manor. But great chapter, this looks like it will be an awesome story. Keep writing! The pace is very good and you capture good emotions, strong. There are some more things you can do for that (mostly there were a couple of Snape lines without anything around them like dialouge or actions- there was only a line of dialouge and you could have added something else to them to add more of mood/emotions/whatever to the chapter). The only thing I was wondering about was why Snape was telling him to brush his teeth and get into bed without asking if he had any place to go or asking Dumbledore or explaining himself. I think that this is because this is from Harry's pov/perspective. If it were from Snape's pov we probably would have had Snape's reasoning of it. As it is, I think that you need to add some subconcious message to Harry for the readers to read and know of some logical reason why Snape was like that. But I am very glad that he WAS like that- it was great! Thanks so much for sharing! Now post more! :)
Woot! Great chapter! There were lots of typos though. I loved all of Harry's thoughts about the black bag and conking Snape over the head with it. XD But poor Harry, seems he's sick but only Snape thinks it's bad. I wonder if Harry will really try to run away and if he will succeed. Harry's comments about Madame Pomfrey and being sick were so cute in a rudish matter of fact way. Harry's too precious. I like your version of him! Snape's putting up with a lot. But what happens next? Wah, I want more!
Oh my gosh!!! WOAH! Well then, THAT was a cliff hanger. Woah. Wow. Well back to the chapter, :) I feel that your Snape is very much in character, but more so than that, he's interesting. He does as expected but his dialouge isn't old, it's fresh and you handle him very well. I feel that he's a little blank, but I believe that that's mostly because it's from Harry's POV; And the type of POV you have is more similar to JKR's who describes everything except the little itty details of people's motives and feelings inside. While I usually enjoy the style that shows more of the inside, I also enjoy your style as well- it helps keep your story different and unique- some way that makes it stand out from the others even slightly is good in a genre with so many similar fics and you managed to stand out on your own and follow your own plan very well. I really look forward to reading more from you! I like that Harry's sick- the instant combustion was a super surprise! I wonder what Snape's going to do, I wonder what Harry's illness is and if it's connected to the floo in any way. I really liked the garden scene, how Harry was able to rest and read the book, but most especially how you are taking your time to develop the plot and story, not rushing into the next part right away. It's nice. I almost felt like I was in the garden too. Thank you. And I just want to mention again that I really like your Snape.
Awesome! Amazing! Love it! The banter and all the thoughts were done very well- clever and very much in character. I love the plot, it was a great chapter, lots of stuff happened. Everything was great. The dream in the beginning was a great touch, I loved how Harry carried the hair brush into the bathroom like a bat, ready to smack anything that attacked him. XD The time out was such a shock to Harry and me! Poor Harry! I loved Harry thoughts about Snape being his Guardian, it was very fluid and engaging. I really followed it easily without guessing it beforehand. Great stuff! And now Snape's mad and coming to get him! LOL@ that he's carrying the schedule. Great description there. Thanks so much for writing and posting this chapter! It rocks. A couple of typos but that's it.
WOW, awesome chapter! Thanks so much for posting it! I love it. I think I enjoyed the "stay within my sight for two days" punishment better than the others. I loved how Snape said Harry'd better pray that he find at least one salvagable ingredient. Wow, great job with that, I could really see the malice in Snape. Poor Harry! He must feel so awful. Really great job with this chapter!! My favourite line? "I don’t have to do anything of the kind," Snape retorted. "I’ll stop once I think you’ve got the message, you disobedient, arrogant, horrible little brat." Hehe, I loved that line. I think that you could have added a bit more descriptions of Snape when he had Harry by the ear and was lecturing him- he seemed a little unknown in my mind when I was trying to picture the scene. Here's a list that may help you out with your corrections: This was the worst thing Harry could possible do "So you pushed open the door and went inside, knowing full well you shouldn’t not be in there. "In addition, you’ll go to bed at eight o’clock for the next week and do chores around the manor to show how me sorry you are And it felt weird to be lying on the sofa in this bed, trying to fall asleep while Snape worked at his desk. Room? You closed your eyes and go on to sleep, and I’ll be back in a few hours." Also, this part seemed a little unclear to me, at first I thought that maybe Harry was kneeling and rested his head on Snape's arm, but I'm not quite sure. Kneeling would be OOC for Harry, when I reread it later it seemed that Harry was standing? Was Snape sitting? Also, you need to state that Harry has his pants and trousers on during that spanking. You need to look at this part too: Resisting the urge to rub his smarting behind, Harry trailed reluctantly back towards the site of disaster. There Harry is walking behind Snape but later on it goes "It’s not that simple," Snape growled, still pulling Harry along by the back of his neck. It's a surprise that Harry has been pulled along that way, I thought that Snape let him go. Maybe Snape taking a step back and grabbing Harry by the neck there would fit better? When Snape smacked Harry for talking back at him, it felt a little blank because we were missing Harry's reaction/thoughts/feelings at that time. I am really, really glad that you posted this chapter! I don't mind all the little typos and I was very happy to read the story anyway. Thanks so much for sharing! I must congradulate you on the awesome title of your story! Adding in the part about Snape getting called was a very nice twist that kept the story more real. I'm really enjoying it! Author's Response: Thank you so much. I have fixed the errors. Always appraciate your comments.
Hahaha!!! I love this story so much. XD I love all the sarcasim and snark and the way Harry's giving as good as he gets. Wonderful! I think I like the banter and communication between the two the best, although you also do a fantastic job with the feelings, events and characterization and thoughts. Just all around a wonderful story. The "I am going to die" line reminds me so much of my story. XD My favourite lines: "Suspicious member," Harry muttered LOL! "By locking this with this key, the manor can not be unlocked by anyone else but me holding this key. That way I don’t have to worry about coming home to a house full of dementors." hehe. Awesome chapter and aweosme story! Thanks so much for sharing it! *_* I'll e-mail you a list of typos.
Author's Response: What? No typos? I\'m speechless. No, really, I love your comments and appreciate your help. I\'m still waiting for your to update your own story! |
