About me:

Hey all. I am soon to be an ESL teacher in South Korea, but am a native of Pennsylvania, USA. I love reading about Snape and Harry's relationship, whether it be Father/Son, Mentor, Brother, Adoption - whatever. I am available for beta reading (I *am* an English teacher after all).

If anyone is in Korea (or Pennsylvania) let me know - I'd love to meet with another fan! [Report This]

    I printed this story out a while back to read it; apparently I can't even walk down the street without having some reading material with me.  Thus, at the time, I hadn't left a review.  But I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed reading this story.  I love the fact that Snape has a family.  Once in a while we see him with siblings or with one child or a wife, but never a stable nuclear family;  it's really nice to see here.  I hope that you don't abandon this great fic.

During Occulmency lessons in the course of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Severus notices something... off in Harry's memories.

    More! More! I'm so happy when I get an update notice on this story. I can't wait to see what you do next.

    Ooooh, I sense Snape and Umbridge are facing a lovely little tete a tete in the near future.  I can't *wait* <joyfully evil cackle>.



    Author's Response: I think you will enjoy it.

Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    Brilliant chapter!  Oh, I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole ordeal at the ministry.  Looking forward to another update...

    Author's Response: Thank you!  But the Ministry action is not quite over with yet... more coming in chapter eleven.

It is a year after Voldemort's final defeat, and Severus Snape has found peace in his life. His quiet existence is disrupted when he receives an unexpected bequest. Truths that he has held for years are shattered and he learns that the Boy Who Lived is his son. Severus must learn to cope with that truth, and he must find and protect his son before it's too late for both of them.

    I fell in love with this story the moment I read it; I'm so glad that Remus decided that you needed to update.

    Author's Response: Thank you, I\'m so flattered to hear you say that you love it. I\'ll talk to Remus and see what he can do for another update, \'kay? :)

AU. Harry is Sorted into Slytherin and Snape is confronted with some disturbing realizations.

    Ya know, I like an intelligent Harry;  it's nice to see that.  It's also fascinating to watch Snape justifying to himself that he is coming to care for Harry - that he wants to care, but needs a reason to do so.  It's an odd way to approach a situation, but then, it's a very Snape way to do it.  Looking forward to the next update.


    Author's Response:

    Snape\'s exceptionally rational - I see him as an Enlightenment sort of guy rather than a Romantic figure, if you know what I mean. He won\'t venture any strong emotions unless there\'s a good logical reason for doing so.

    I like intelligent Harry too ... the canon Harry that\'s impulsive and angry just drives me crazy sometimes. I hope I\'m not taking it too far but I\'ve at least tried to justify it so that makes everything okay .... right?

    Gee, I love how paranoid your Snape is.  He's great.  The world is out to get him.  Or, at least, Harry Potter is.  I love this story!

    Author's Response:

    You know what they say about paranoia ... wait, no, Harry isn\'t out to get Snape... oh well, sayings like that are often wrong anyways.

    Glad you\'re enjoying it, hope you like the next chapter.

    I really like how everything is developing. Severus is holding hard and fast to his to his delusions of revenge, but he's really starting to care about Harry. I wonder if the rest of the staff is as clueless as Severus seems to think. Will they be stepping in, or will it be all Severus?

    I love your writing style. You put such power behind your stories. I can't wait to read more.

Reviewer: MaireadInish (Signed)
    Oh this chapter is beautiful beyond words. The way Severus just aches over what he realizes that he has lost. It's perfect.

A response to the "Rubbing Alcohol" Challenge. Hogwarts has been under siege for three months, Harry Potter has injured himself, and Snape must take care of him without the help of potions.
