- Thank you a thousand times. This is a brilliant story. The best part, for me, was your timing: every time Harry suddenly remembers something, I, too, remember it, and find that I have thoroughly forgotten about it! This is fantastic, it makes the characters so convincing! I am in a bad habit of agonizing over answers that I remember and the characters forgot, and this story is like a paradise to me. Besides, I, too, didn't trust Ryan, but aknowledge my mistake. I, too, suspected Snape of murders (although in Harry's shoes I wouldn't be worried for the victims, only for Snape's soul, but I'm a sociopath 8)) ). I even almost didn't suspect Knight! And I had no idea about Kreacher! But in the end it all adds up so neatly that I couldn't find a fauld if I tried. Thank you once again, this was worth every minute of the sleepless nights I devoted to it 8)))
Author's Response: Thank you for this wonderful review. I'm so glad the characters are convincing. I, too, hate it when I read a story and the characters have overlooked something that I find obvious, so I'm happy to have avoided that here. Thank you so much for reading. I'm glad the sleepless nights were worth it. :)
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.

- I don't even care what was in the chapter, so shocked I am that you posted it before I forgot my password for this site!!! It's like Christmas ccame early!
Author's Response: Haha I'm so glad I made that cutoff at least! Thank you so much for remembering this story after so long - that's my Christmas! :)

- Okay, now that I've read it, I think you're overaestimating how badly things went. I mean, as Snape/Potter quarrels go, this one is by far not the worst))) And as usual, great work on Harry's mental states))
Author's Response: Thank you!! Yes, I think I'm blowing it up in my head because they had started to...well, if not get along better, at least start to consider getting along better. I think because they're starting to see each other a little differently, a smaller blowout seems somehow bigger than a larger blowout would have when they were still mortal enemies. If that makes sense. :) Thank you for your encouragement!

- Yay! It's nice to see Harry showing some maturity for a change! I'd love to see Snape's face when Dumbledore went to talk to him for the second time))) AND he's gonna give Harry HELL, isn't he?))))
Author's Response: Yay for maturity!! I like growth, and it's fun to get to the point where these boys can start making some progress. All I'll say about Snape is that he's dealing with a lot right now that he's not used to dealing with. Be patient with him - he'll get there, I promise!

- Yay, another chapter! This one was really nice) HArry is doing a lot of progress, and Snape is too disturbed to fight back) And I can't wait to read what's gonna happen when Spnape opens the door in the morning)))
Author's Response: Yay another review! Thank you! I'm excited to get to the next chapter. I think the boys are ready to make some progress, don't you? ;)

- I dunno why this chapter is not getting comments, but it's gonna have no fewer comments than others even if it's just all me!
Author's Response: Haha thank you!!! I haven't gotten as many comments for this chapter on the other site I'm posting either. I was starting to wonder if there's something wrong with it, but you made it all better by making me laugh. :)

- Yeah, I know, review stats are weird. I am myself a writer, and I can never figure it out. Don't mind the silence, people are just silent.
Author's Response: Yes, I have to remind myself that when I get to reading a story, many times I flip straight the next chapter or story and don't pause to review. Writing certainly has helped me to be more aware of it and to start leaving more reviews. :)

- Awwwwww, so much awkward goodiness))) And I get a personal mention in the notes))) Snape is so sweeeet))) I mean, he isn't actually sweet, but it's sweet to read and infer the stuff he's going through))) But, from what I remember, you started the story way before the whole Snape/Lily kerfuffle was aired, and also I was under the impression that you'd planned the story to the end back then. So I wonder if this is Snape confessing to Harry about his relationship with Lily, and if it is, did you adjust to the new data or did you come up with it on your own back in the day?))
Author's Response:
Haha I will not tell Snape that you called him sweet. You might get detention for that. ;)
The Lily thing is new. It's the only thing that I changed from my original plan. Originally, I had a backstory all planned out for Snape (involving his guilt for his part in the death of his father), but through the years, I fell in love with the Lily angle and how it perfectly explained Snape's loathing-yet-protection of Harry. By the time I took up this story, I wanted that for my Snape. It's the only thing I altered in my story in light of the final two books, and I hope it's well received. It doesn't change my overall plot plan, just adds a layer to it.
Thanks for the review!

- Oh, the Lily angle is totally fine with me, I like it a lot, myself. I'm just curious how many fan writers figured it out before it appeared in the books)
Author's Response:
Sometime in between the publication of Books 6 and 7, I was pretty sure (i.e. hopeful to the point of desperation) about Snape's true loyalties and had an inkling about the Lily connection. But it was only after somebody else pointed out some clues to me. (The different way Snape & Dumbledore's overheard conversation in Book 6 could be interpreted, for one. How Snape's worst memory in Book 5 made more sense if it was about Lily than about James for another. A few others too.) I thought, wow, it makes total sense! But all I really wished for going into Book 7 was to find out if he was a good guy. And for him to help Harry in some way. AND FOR HIM TO LIVE. Which he didn't. Which caused me permanent emotional damage from which I still have not recovered.
I wonder if you figured it out?

- Hi there) Somehow I missed this chapter notification and only read it now(( And maaan what a cliffhanger. I'm actually quite anxious for Harry as he steps through the door >.
Author's Response: Hi there! So glad you enjoyed it! And now you don't have to wait as long for the next chapter, so - win! ;)
