Of Love, in Unexpected Places by ObsessiveaboutSnape starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 366]
Summer after fourth year is finally over, and things are not as expected when Harry makes it back to the magical world. Badly broken and determined for it to stop, Harry turns to, surprisingly, a certain Potions Master, who in turn finds within himself, of all places, a heart still beating and waiting to love, and be loved in turn.

    Nice chapter! Like how Sev is now going to teach Hermione Occlemency. Hope to see more of Sirius and how he bothers Lucious with now being Draco's father.

    I am thoroughly enjoying how Harry is slowly getting over his abuse. What happened to the Dursleys was well deserved. Where was Dudley placed? Looking forward to the next chapter.

Light and Dark by Bil starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 64]
Harry arrives at Hogwarts without any magic. Or does he? Severus is firmly in Voldemort’s camp. Or is he? Tangled loyalties and broken magics combine to make Harry’s first year more eventful than anyone anticipated. Entry in the 2009 Challenge Fest. In response to the Unmagical Harry Potter Challenge by Jan_AQ.

    Excellent story! I look forward to seeing how Severus deals with Dumbledore and how he feels about meeting Salazar even in a portrait.

    Author's Response:

    I'm really happy that you are enjoying my story! I guess you will find out soon enough if Severus will actually meet Salazar, though I suppose he would either way....

    Thanks for the review!


Measurements by Wands starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 63]
How does one measure a man? Is it by the company he keeps? Or by the actions he takes? In whose eyes are you judged? And from whose mouth do the answers ring true to you? In short, how do you make the measurement?

Darkness swallowed Severus's childhood and is threatening to engulf Harry's. Will the man recognize himself in the boy before history repeats itself? [Generally short chapters due to (almost) daily updates]

Reviewer: amsilcox (Signed)
    I think there is so much more that Severus could do to Petunia. I will leave it up to your discretion but oh what there is yet to affect her. Does Dudley have any magic in him or would he be considered a squib? I really am enjoying this story. Will Hermione get resorted into Slytherin and will Severus help her get new school books and what will happen to the girls in the Gryffendor dorm.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. Dudley is a squib- no magic in him whatsoever- but I can't tell you anymore (much as I want to) because I really shouldn't spill too many spoilers for the plot.

A Serpent in Lion's Clothing: Resorted by Lady Lanera starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 138]
After the events of the famous dueling club scene, Harry has been resorted into Slytherin. Will he finally find the home he's been looking for? And will Snape find something he's been missing all his life? (Snape/Sinistra)

    Excellent chapter!!!!! Sinistra is diabolically evil when she wants to be. Looking forward to the next chapter!

    Author's Response: Thank you. And she is definitely that. Hope you enjoy the next two chapters. :)

Title: Chapter 9: Midnight Swim 04 Apr 2010
Reviewer: amsilcox (Signed)
    Oh yes! Sinistra does have great motives. Keep thinking that if Sev hadn't of been in love with Lily then he would have been in love with Sinistra. Looking forward to the next chapter.

    Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you're enjoying it. You're probably going to have to wait awhile for the next chapter unless I get really lucky and can find time to write tomorrow. Thanks again. :)
