Severus gets promises out of Potter, then he gets them fulfilled! And somewhere in between, he gets a pet... It was supposed to be a oneshot, but it somehow ended as a multichaptered story (well, only three or four chapters, nothing big).

    OMG!!! I haven't laughed so much in months!!! (At work no less!!) Thank you for making my day! I look forward to your continuation.

    Author's Response: Haha, reading fanfics at work! Good luck that your boss didn't see :D I'm glad you find the fanfic funny. Mila

Oneshot: Severus Snape died one hundred-and-twenty years ago, yet Harry Potter still visits his grave for a chat.

A series of monologues, mapping Harry's life, his deepening understanding of Severus and his change of heart towards his former enemy.

    ‘Snape Approved’ out-of-hours adventure…”
    Loved the story, but this is my favorite, favorite line!!!! Who would have ever thought there would be such a thing!

    Author's Response: I think it's easy to imagine that, with James as a son, Harry mentioned his curfew breaking a fair few times more lol! Thanks for the review.

During the Summer of Second Year, Molly Weasley express her concerns about Harry returning to his relatives. The school staff has to hear her and a place must be found for Harry.

    Nice chapter. I am not offended by spankings. I used the same punishment for my twins. Severus is right, you only us it to get their attention, anything else is abuse. I am enjoying how their relationship is developing. Poor Harry, coming from an abusive family he just doesn't know what to think!!! I await your next update.

    Author's Response: Harry comes from an abusive environment so he has to learn was is normal. Severus is also starting to learn about the boy. Thanks a lot for reading. LL 

Harry runs into Snape while trying to find the definition of home, and finds himself drawn into Snape's summer Order task by the headmaster, looking for a location outside of London. Along the way, he and Snape learn a few new definitions themselves.

    "If a basilisk, a bee, a dragon, two dementors, and a psychotic ministry hag couldn't off Potter, the Dark Lord didn't stand a chance." I wanted to read the entire story up to this point before I reviewed. This is my favorite line in the entire story!!! You have me so hooked. I believe in my heart that Harry wants Severus to adopt him. He is receiving everything a young teen needs at this point in his life. Rules, guidance, and, yes, even love (Sev just doesn't realize it yet). Thank you for a great story, I look forward to your updates.

Title: Chapter 13: Chapter 13 - Questions and Results 19 May 2010
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    I liked this chapter. It is nice to see this "family" pulling together. Yes, I agreee, Harry should decide to do something else with his life.....not what everyone expects. Thank you for the update.

Mr Potter's best friends at Hogwarts were Mr Black and Mr Lupin, his arch-enemy Mr Snape and his childhood sweetheart, Ms Evans. On graduating Hogwarts, Mr. Potter married Ms Evans and they had a son: his name was Harry Severus Potter...

    I am so enjoying this story. It is a totally different twist to everything. Was James arrested or is he going to be coming back to make the Snape's life awful? Look forward to the next update.

    Author's Response: Thanks ^^. James Snape is, in fact, doing exactly what Voldemort told him to do; he has taken a position at Hogwarts and is ingratiating himself with Dumbledore. The fun thing about this plot is that we'll have Harry/Snape interaction at school and Harry/Severus interaction at home; it's just that his teacher is James Snape and his father is Severus Potter lol!

In response to Jan_AQ's challenge "Summer School," Harry learns that he is going to be spending his summer in school because he did absolutely appalling on his finals during fourth-year. He's not happy about it, though, because it was supposed to be his first summer of not having to live with the Dursleys. However, at Hogwarts, they have a different approach to summer school than Muggles do. Summer school teachers cannot teach their own subject. What, oh, what will Snape teach, if not Potions?

Title: Chapter 10: Loving Shadows 16 May 2010
Reviewer: alifromnm (Signed)
    I wanted to read this from start of "finish" before I reviewed. I am so enjoying this story I am like Harry and think Dumbly is crazy switching potions to another teacher. I can understand why Harry and Draco have such a time with history. It was never one of my favorite subjects and because most teacher use the lecture mode to teach it, it can be boring I did have one teacher who dressed up in character which helped. Poor Harry. Poor Draco. They have always been at odds with each other but only once in canon has it come close to an actualy "killing" curse. I look forward to your updates.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you are enjoying the story so far. I'll try to update more regularly from now on. Again, thanks for the review. :)

    Can we say of Harry "slow on the uptake?" Love Harry's reaction, has to write Ron immediately. LOL I am so loving this story. Thank you for the quick updated.

    Author's Response: I'm glad you're enjoying the story. And Harry is definitely that. Thanks for the review. :)

    WOW! This chapter is so powerful. Even though Severus does not say the words, you can fell his love coming from the pages. Excellent chapter.

    Author's Response: Thanks. In order to get into Snape's mind for this, I actually watched my favorite Snape saves Harry moments. I'm glad that you liked the chapter. :)

    That is the most unique proposal I've ever seen!!! LOL Love the q game and the fact we have a mud fight too. Keep up the great work. I look forward to your next update.

    Author's Response: It should be either tomorrow or Monday. I'm glad you liked the mudfight. Thanks for the review. :)
