- Oh...whatever Dumbles has planned, if Severus doesn't like it then I'm sure Harry will not like it either! Poor Harry. I did feel sorry for him. It's terrible to lose someone close to you like that. And I did feel sorry for Sev too about how he'd never really be free... That's it, I'm going on to the next chappie! Another good one Pandora! :D
Author's Response:
Well, they're both going into this situation with low expectations, so maybe it'll all work out better than they hoped.Yes, poor Harry; he's had a really rough time of it. Sirius' death has really hit him hard.
Severus has been carrying a lot of guilt around with him. He needs to forgive himself. Protecting Harry is his way of making amends.
Thanks Ivy! I loved your chappie by the way. Love that story!

- "Severus grit his teeth in irritation as he sneered at the doddering old wizard spewing nonsense from his aged pruned lips, as though he was handing out lemon drops and sugar quills to snot-nosed, spoilt brats." - I'm not sure what it was about this line, but it made me laugh! ^_^ I think it was the part about the "aged pruned lips" lol Yeah, that was great...
But on my Pandora! This has got me VERY interested! And my little mind (yes little lol) is thinking up all kinds of possibilities as to what's going on here! I was a little sad, but not all that surprised about the lines talking about how Severus makes himself unattractive to women because he doesn't want to fall in love again. That made me sad...but that's probably part of the reason he really looked like that in the books...
I am very interested in this Pandora! It was a very good start! I'll have to read later on when I'm not drowning in homework. (You see, I surfaced for a time to see what all I was missing) Expect more reviews from me later on!
Author's Response:
Hee hee, I really had an image in my mind, when I wrote that line. I could just imagine Snape thinking that! Well, I was trying to think of a way that Snape could diss Albus about his age, and prunes just came to mind!
Thanks Ivy, and you updated too, and it was a great chappie. Aw, you'll have to keep on reading to find out.
Severus never truly got over Lily, and o why bother to make himself attractive to other women, when no one can hold a candle to his soul mate?
Thanks Ivy, don't worry about it. I am honoured that you took the time to review at all, when you are so busy. Thank you very much!

- Aww! Poor Harry! I thought his emotions in this were VERY believeable. I'm not sure I would have been as diplomatic with Snape or Dumbledore had I been Harry. But I actually feel sorry for Dumbledore being in the middle. At least he's sorry for what he's done, that's all I can say. and Harry and Snape's little fits...they were very good too!
A wonderful chapter Pandora! And sorry it took me so long to pick this back up. *blushes in shame* I had lots'o projects and then finals. But now I'm home for a month and I should be able to read and update more quickly again! XD I'll have to go read on now!
Author's Response:
Yeah, Harry is trying to be brave. Aw, Dumbles is trying to get his two boys together!! He only wants them both to be happy. He is sorry for missing the abuse that Harry suffered at the hands of his relatives. Thanks for the encouragement Ivy and congratulations for finishing your fic. It was amazing, and I'm looking forward to a sequel.

- Poor Harry...but at least Ron and Hermione are standing with him. It really is a confusing situation. But I do agree with Severus. I won't like having too many people know about this if my life was at risk, especially if it was told to people I couldn't stand. >_< But Harry and co will keep it hush hush. And I do like that Severus wants some rules set up. I would too! That's what parents do, after all. ^_^ Great chappie Pandora!!
Author's Response:
Thanks Ivy. Yes...Harry has some adjusting to do, but he has very supportive friends in Ron and Hermione though. It IS a very confusing situation. Seveurs IS right, they have to be extremely careful.
Yes, Severus is acting like a parent, and doesn't even realise it! :) Thanks again Ivy, and I loved your new chapter by the way.

- "Severus Snape, Deatheater-Extraordinaire"- Now that just made me laugh really hard for some reason. Sounds like a personal ad, doesn't it? I suddenly could hear one of those old radio sales people come on from like the 20's or '30. XD It was too perfect.
Anywho, on with the review...While I'm enjoying Snape being old Snape, I couldn't help the "awww!" moment when he tucked Harry into bed and then left the warmed food out for him. ^_^ Snape's so cute! And Poor Harry all sad and bitter. I hate it when people get really bitter. It's really not good for their health. But WAKE UP HARRY!! You HAVE a father-type figure now! Or you will later. It's hard to keep hating someone when you're forced to live with them, even for a short while. (I know from traveling around and having roommates! XD ) But I hope Harry doesn't go over board with his own revenge. It's sounds worrisome to me...but I guess if it brings Snape and Harry closer...what a father/son outing THAT would be? lol Another brilliant chappie Pandora!
Author's Response:
Hee hee! "I" would answer "that" ad for sure. Sexy, hot cute Potions Master, needs cuddling, but keep it secret, he's very prickly.
Yeah, I like tohose little moments when Severus shows just a tiny bit of affection for Harry, without realiising it. Hopefull, Harry will realise what he has in Snape, and look behind the reserved exterior. Harry needs to let go of his anger and his quest for revenge. Maybe Snape can pull him in if he goes too far. Yeah...what a reunion.
Thanks Ivy, for the lovely review.

- Oh wow! While I'm pleased that Severus and Harry seem to be getting along fine, I'm NOT pleased that Narcissa and Draco were tortured. Poor Snape! To be torn between the two worlds like that! That would be terrible. And to give such a potion to the babies? That's just wrong. Poor little things...but this was a very interesting chapter. I enjoyed Remus putting some sense into Harry's head! Another great chapter Pandora! :D
Author's Response:
Aw, you are so sweet Ivy! You reviewed every chapter, and wrote such a brilliant chappie yourself. Well done.
Yeah, it was awful that Voldie tortured Narcissa and Draco. It IS awful for him to be torn like that, and Voldemort has no conscience at all, does he?
Remus is coming around to see a very different side of Snape, and he wants Harry to see that. Thanks again Ivy.

- CUTE!! XD Harry and Snape are getting along! YAYS! I did like it when Snape would yell at Harry and then be all "Did you eat?" That made me smile. And the whole letter bit, I thought Harry was going to get it then. But luckily that potion had really started to work because I bet old Snape wouldn't have cared overly much if he laid into the boy a little. Phew! Harry was lucky there! And seeing Harry and Snape getting along, even having a- dare I say- heart to heart was just beautiful. But I did find a little mistake. The very last word you added a "g" to Slytherin. No worries though. (I do that all the time while typing) Brilliant chappie!! :D
Author's Response:
Oops, I'lll go fix the g on Slytherin. Thanks for pointing that out.
Yeah, I think that Snape (dare I say it) is mellowing out a bit Hee hee! Yeah, heart to heart, and I just used YOUR expression.
Yeah, Snape is finding it hard to maintain his anger, because he keeps feeling the need to care and protect Harry, and although he would deny it, it's not just the potion making him feeling that way.

- "I will not use my new and improved super powers to conspire with the evil medi-witch, Madame Pompfrey, to imprison my Professsor and father, against his will in this dreadful hospital wing."- Best. Line. EVER!! I laughed so hard I think I woke everyone up in the house! XD That whole section of Severus trying to sneak out was just brilliant!! XD I'm still giggling looking at it! Brilliant!
And phew! I thought Sev was a goner for a minute, especially when Dumbledore just said they couldn't help Snape. Yay super powers! lol And the end with the birthday party, well that was adorable. Yays Snape! The last line was perfect.
Fantastic story, Pandora! Sorry it took so long to read it, but it was amazing. I enjoyed it lots! :D
Author's Response:
Hee hee! Thanks. Yeah, Sev does NOT like being an invalid, or feeling helpless.
Harry got angry and saved Severus. I think that both our boys are starting to care for each other more than they'd like to admit.
Thanks Ivy. I'm so honoured that you took the time to not only read the story, you actually reviewed each chappie. Thanks so much.
Severus tells how his life took a very different path because he had two best friends-one was Lily and the other a collie. Severus-centric, will have Harry in later chapters.Features loyal and fierce Lily! AU!SS/LE

| Title: Chapter 10: But For A Dog | 08 Jul 2010 |
| Reviewer: Ivy-Green (Signed) |
- Aww!! That's so lovely! Although it's sad Sev turned down that road at first, I'm glad he realized a mistake. Sometimes it really does take something serious like that to wake someone up out of that darkness they've put themselves in. If I could, I'd give Gabe a huge bone too!
I LOVED Gabe's thoughts, about love and friendship! I swear I had tears in my eyes when I read that. It was so touching! And the poem too! Brilliant!
And no problem with the defense on ff.net. That jerk had no right to do that to you, and he needed a good stern "talking to" if you understand me! ^_^
Great update!! :)
Author's Response:
You're right. Sometimes you get so lost that you can't see a path out.
Aww thanks! I sincerely think that if dogs could talk, that's what they'd say.
Thanks again! By the way, I've updated this and IC too!

- Okay, first of all, WOAH!!! Your dog's name was Gabriel?!?! My dog's name is Gabriel too!! That's really weird!
But as for the rest...that's so sad!! Poor Severus! I feel so bad for him! To lose a friends like that's terrible! I've lost a dog about a month or so ago names Sampson and that was really hard. He'd follow me around the farm and would even try protect me if there were coyotes near by by stepping in front of me and not letting me walk closer to them, but to lose an inside dog would be kinda worse in a way.
I feel sorry for Severus and sorry for the lose of your Gabriel! He sounds like he was a wonderful dog! Great chapter though!! Loving it!
Author's Response:
Wow! That's like . . .really cosmic, as my sister used to say.
Aww, I feel bad for you too. So many people have lost their dogs that read this. He was a wonderful dog, and we will all miss him very much. He also took care of children, saved my neice from drowning in our pool once. She jumped in and hit her head on the pool bottom and was crying and couldn't swim out, and Gabe, who hated water, by the way, jumped in and got her out. I swear, it was like watching Lassie on TV only in real life! Oh and I just posted a new chapter!
