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]

| Title: Chapter 15: Deliver Me | 20 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Well written chapter. I like how the events of Halloween night unfold, culminating with Severus holding Harry. I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I'm glad you liked the chapter and I hope you'll continue to enjoy the story.
| Title: Chapter 16: Uroborus | 21 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Superb chapter. You describe the Slytherin haven so well that I felt a peace stealing over me as I read it. The letters, as well as Harry's accompanying thoughts were a nice touch. Harry would find it hard to believe that anyone could care for him at this stage. The hug and gift toward the end as well as the revelation of just how much money Professor Dumbledore has given Severus for Harry's care helped to round the chapter out nicely. A very enjoyable read. Thank you
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I really wanted to make 'Uroborus' a reflection of Slytherin's paternal side, much as the Chamber of Secrets is a reflection of the warrior aspect of his character. I also wanted to allow Dumbledore to redeem himself a little not by giving money as such but rather the guilt that influenced the gift.

- This was such a lovely addition to your story. I like how Harry picked out treats for everyone except for himself and how Severus, knowing that Harry would do that, made sure he had something of his own. A pleasure to read.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I thought it would be a very 'Harry' thing to do; become so wrapped up in his gift buying, that he'd forget himself. Severus, of course, could guess what Harry was up to ^^
| Title: Chapter 18: The Pensieve | 24 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Simply fascinating background story for Slytherin and Godric. I enjoyed the use of memory to reveal this to Harry and thus the reader. Fantastic writing.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^ I thought that it'd be a very Slytherin tactic: show the kids other children being abused and say 'did they deserve it' and, when the child answers 'of course not', say 'well neither did you'. Psychological, manipulative and, generally speaking, effective.
| Title: Chapter 22: A Slither of Snakes | 31 Mar 2010 |

- I like how Blue (Reggie) and Harry chose each other. I really enjoyed how you wrote about the snakes responding to being called and checking out Harry. They each had a distinct personality.
Author's Response:
I based it very much on choosing my dog when I was almost exactly Harry's age: he and I homed in on each other and, although he wasn't the prettiest dog and I had the pick of the litter, I wouldn't have any other than him lol!

- These letters were so wonderfully entertaining. They made me laugh and gave me great joy to read. I really do like the relationship you are drawing between Draco and his father - so loving and spoiled, yes, but not overly so.
Author's Response: Thanks ^^. I really enjoy writing Lucius and Draco: they are very similar characters but, as Draco is so much younger, he's not quite as polished a politician as his father lol! (Draco is also more empathetic than his father and rather less ruthless.)
| Title: Chapter 26: Quidditch Calamity | 31 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Very touching an exciting chapter. Excellent description of the bludger incident as well as the injury,sustained. Harry calling Severus, Dad, in his altered state of pain was a nice touch as were Severus' tears. I am looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks: I felt I needed to get Harry and Severus together and, as Quirrelmort was most likely itching to try something nasty, a hexted bludger seemed the way to go. I thought it necessary to give Harry a serious injury which couldn't be made better at the touch of a wand; it'd have the combined benefit of giving Severus an extra shove and showing any young deatheaters-in-waiting exactly what maiming someone entails.
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)

| Title: Chapter 1: Slytherin’s Official Welcoming Committee | 17 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Extremely intriguing. I like how this is starting off and how Snape is encouraging a friendship between Draco and Harry. I am looking forward to more of this.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it so far.
| Title: Chapter 2: Settling in for a Long Night | 21 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- Loved the interaction between Sinestra and Severus. I really like how you are writing them and am looking forward to reading more of this and finding out how well Harry survives the night as he begins his acclimation to Slytherin.
Author's Response: Yes, the keyword in the sentence is 'survive'. :) I must say that writing Sinistra and Snape is kind of my favorite part because I find writing Harry is extremely hard to do, which is probably why we've only seen an angry Harry so far. Thanks for the review.
| Title: Chapter 3: Interlude of Potions Class | 25 Mar 2010 |
| Reviewer: darkorangecat (Signed) |
- I am intrigued about what happened to Harry and Draco and how the relationship has changed between the two boys as well as Hermione and Ron. I do like how you write Snape and the remarks about how disastrous trying to teach Harry about Occulmency if they were to remain, in essence, enemies was quit witty. I am looking forward to more.
Author's Response: The back story is in the next chapter. I just haven't finished it yet. It should be updated on Saturday, though. Thanks for the review.
