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]

    A very nice chapter. I've been following your tale for a bit now and I quite like what you've done. I"m looking forward to learning more about the mysteries surrounding the night after the adoption. You did an excellent job with Hagrid!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review!  I love Hagrid, so I have to have him in there.  And all mysteries shall be answered in the fullness of time.  ;-)

    You know, as much as I love your story - and I most certainly do - I think I am most entertained by your very amusing author's notes. Great job.

The war is over, but not for Harry. Along with Sirius and Remus, Harry is forced to go into hiding... with Snape as their guardian.

    I am very much enjoying your story; it's so unique. I also think that you are really keeping your characters IC very well. Your Snape is snarky and strict, but not evil; Harry lets his mouth get away with him, but is still thoughtful; Remus is intelligent, but still the Gryffindor, and Sirius is just completely himself. I look forward to reading more.

Severus Snape, high ranking Death Eater and Headmaster of Hogwarts, finds out that his son is not his own when the boy's glamour begins to break. Entry in the 2009 Challenge Fest. In Response to the Cruel Reversal Challenge by FoolishWishmaker.

    OMG this story is so wonderful. I've never read a reversal of the Severitus Challenge. You're a pioneer and I loved it. I can't wait to read more.

    Author's Response: Thank you!  I was answering a challenge, so the reversed severitus idea was not my own (I have another form of reversed severitus fic, also an answer to a challenge in which Harry is Snape's father due to time travel) but it was a lot of fun to write.  Don't worry, you won't have too long to wait for more.

Harry and Snape have developed an 'understanding'. Unfortunately, when you and your grumpy Potions Professor are unexpectedly thrown into the past, it is possible that this event might have an adverse effect on said understanding...

    Very nice story. Snape (both of them) are very IC, which is tough to do. I really like that Harry had the opportunity to meet his parents and see them as they were at 15.

    Author's Response: Thank you! A more canon Snape was certainly difficult to write, but more rewarding I found (and it's wonderful to hear that you liked BOTH of them). I'm really glad that you enjoyed reading this!
