About me:

I love to write and edit. You know those tests you'd do in school where you had to look at 5 different words and pick the correctly spelled one? Or "fix" wrong sentences? I loved those. ;-)

I've always got numerous stories in the works. I absolutely adore music. It's right up there with oxygen.

Title: Chapter 23: The best thing ever 29 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Whoo-hoo! Another chapter! Personally, I'd rather have shorter chapters more often. The story flows better for me, that way.

    Oooh, I don't even know what to think. Harry's plans never go as well for him as he wishes or thinks they will. Something will go wrong. I wonder though if Sirius really is alive... should be interesting to find out!

    Keep up the awesome work!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you!

    Yes I know, long gaps aren't the best thing in the world for any fic.

    No, Harry's not got the best of luck, has he? We'll have to wait and see about Sirius...


Title: Chapter 22: Familial influence 28 Dec 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Good chapter! I felt bad for Harry when he went to go stay in Snape's rooms, but at the same time I had to laugh at the image of him just stalking past Snape like that.

    Also, poor boy and that darn crow! But at least that's more figured out! ;-)

    Nice work!

    Author's Response:

    Yeah and there was no way that Snape was gonna let him just stride past without an explaination lol

    At least he's got the spare room as an option:)

    I'm glad you liked it and thanks loads for reviewing. The next chapter is now up.

Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Good chapter. The struggle for Harry about what to say to Severus was interesting. And when he flinched, I was... awwww. Poor kid.

    I can't wait to see what'll happen next! :D

    Author's Response:

    Thanks! Yeah he wanted to get Connor out of trouble but didn't really have much of a plan of how to do that, did he?

     

    New chapter now up :) Sorry about the wait.


Dudley and Harry flee Vernon - to Severus. A different Tom Riddle, Petunia is good. Lucius and Draco are helpful. Albus is a bit misguided. The twins are only a year older than Harry, so I can make them non-Gryffindor.

    I keep seeing this story updated, but you, I have so many on my plate right now, I keep putting off reading it. Well, now seems like a good time.

    I really LIKE it so far! I do think the two boys are acting a little old for their age, but other than that, it's enjoyable. I'm very eager to see how your portrayal of Snape will be. :D

Title: Chapter 2: Chapter 2 05 Mar 2010
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Still enjoying this, but I still think the boys are acting about 5 years ahead of their age. It's a little distracting when reading, so hopefully that gets better.

    I hate Vernon. But it's so refreshing to see a more caring Petunia though. Good job!

    Awww, Yay! Severus to the rescue!!! :D

When Lily and James' will is discovered in the ruins of Godric's Hollow, what secrets will be revealed? Will two sworn enemies be able to lay aside their differences for the sake of a boy who desperately wants a family?

    This seems like a really great start! You had my heart pounding in my chest when Harry was sneaking out at night. I'm looking forward to reading more!

    Author's Response:

    LOL!  Harry will do that to you!  Nerves of steel that boy.

    Thanks for reviewing.


After a series of tests to discover why Harry's magic has become erratic, a secret is revealed, one hidden for over fifteen years. But not all secrets disappear without consequence, leaving Severus to learn that potions cannot heal everything.

Title: Chapter 2: Floating Peacefulness 18 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    This is an interesting start, but I am wondering what happened to Snape's spying position? I don't think you have made that clear yet, though it seems like something that should be explained right away.

    Anyhow, good job and I'll keep reading. :D

    Author's Response: I touched on it, but haven't gone into detail yet. Thanks for reminding me to include that soon. The details aren't that important to the storyline, but I'll be sure to address it. Thanks for reviewing, and I hope you enjoy the rest. 

Title: Chapter 3: 514 18 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Oh gosh, this chapter was good! Somehow I can see Snape with all those pieces of parchment spread all around him. ;-)

    That was a really cool thing, coming up with how to predict a wizard's magical power.

    I could soooo relate to Harry when he was searching for his glasses, and panicking. I've been wearing glasses since I was 5 and feel lost without 'em. When I "misplace" them in the morning if I am staying over someplace new, I always freak out in that quick moment before I locate 'em. ;-)

    Oh, and I just wanted to cry when Harry's wand didn't work for him towards the end there. Seriously. That was heartbreaking.

    Great job!

    Author's Response: Thanks for the lengthy review. I'm glad you can relate to Harry. I don't wear glasses myself, but I can imagine how freaked out I'd be if I couldn't see when I woke up in the morning. I was hoping that Harry's wand not working for him would be heartbreaking to you guys, the readers. 

Title: Chapter 4: Strange Occurrences 18 Aug 2009
Reviewer: Victory-Starr (Signed)
    Yay orange juice!

    I loved this part here:

    ---

    "Severus," McGonagall chided. "What if I didn't have his test graded yet?"

    "I saw it sitting on your desk," Severus answered.

    ---

    That made me laugh out loud. ;-)

    And I am not sure why, but for some reason I like the idea of Snape knowing how and being the one to take Harry's blood.

    But... Leukemia? Oh. Crud.

    Next chapter...

    Author's Response: I love that you're loving certain parts and letting me know what they are. It helps me to know what I'm doing right or if you think that the same parts are cool that I do. I like Snape knowing how to take blood, too. He's super intelligent, and I can see him as a Renaissance man of sorts, interested in many subjects and because of his intellect pursuing them. I'm also glad you got to laugh before you go to the end. It might be the last time for a few chapters.
