| 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]

AU. Harry, on the night the first letter came, was dumped by the Dursley's in London. Now, three months later, he is found and expected to lead a normal life at Hogwarts. But, where Harry Potter is concerned, can anything be normal? Mild abuse, neglect.

This chapter just made me ache with sadness. You wrote it beautifully.
Due to Voldemort's... insanity, Severus is forced to take an unidentified potion. When the effects of said potion take place, what does Dumbledore do? Send him to the one person he feels he can trust of course. (Please note rating may change)

Interesting start. Please continue.
AU. Just after midnight, in a hut on a rock in the sea, Harry Potter celebrated his eleventh birthday and, instead of Hagrid, was collected by Severus Snape to be brought into the world of magic. Mild abuse, neglect.

I'm really enjoying this fic so far, but you posted the same chapter twice. Any chance that you have another chappie hidden in the bowels of your computer?

Hey. I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I've been enjoying this story. My internet access is very limited and I usually just print everything out so I can get off the computer without leaving any feedback (no excuse, really, I know), but I didn't want you to think that your work is unappreciated. I've never seen a story told from this angle - one in which Harry distrusts Snape and he doesn't try to change that. It's really refreshing to see something new, particularly when given something (Slytherin!Harry) that I love to see.
Thanks for writing a great story, and I look forward to seeing more.

I just recently started to read this story. It's lovely and this last scene is particularly touching. I love that you were able to give Harry and Severus time to adjust and change over time, rather than rushing into things as so many authors do. You've done an excellent job.
Author's Response: Yeah, I've read quite a few stories that rush in straight to the mushy stuff. While everyone loves to read that, myself included, it's important to build a relationship between Severus and Harry that would make this chapter believable. And hopefully it was :)
Harry gets some surprising news. He was adopted. His father is alive and he has a brother; named Severus Snape. Beta'd by breannatala

Excellent story. I've enjoyed reading the whole way through. I like that you made Sev's mother the icky (but believeable) one and his Dad the good parent. It's a nice change of pace and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

I have rarely seen such an in-character Snape as yours. He's brilliant, snarky, controlled and quick to temper. You've done such a wonderful job with him. Thanks for writing such a great story; I look forward to reading the sequel.
Nine year old Harry discovers Metamorphagus abilities after a certain haircut. What will happen after he accidentally apparates himself to Snape Manor, looking nothing like Harry Potter, the Boy who Lived?

Hi. I'm quite enjoying your story and the way the plot is working out. Harry's abilities are believable and I really appreciate the uniqueness of your idea.
However, I do think that things with Snape are progressing a bit quickly and that his characterization isn't quite right. Can you really see Severus saying "as if" even in his own mind? He's an adult. Sure, he's sulky sometimes, but has he ever really come across as anything less than sneering, sarcastic, and proud?
Please don't take this as discouragement. You do have the potential for a truly good story. Your first three chapters are excellent. You've drawn out the tension well. Just don't be in such a rush to get to the good stuff.
