    Severus is doing pretty well with this father thing, despite the bumps along the way. Great chapter, I loved it!

    Is Dumbledore going to cause Severus and Harry any further trouble? I don't see him giving up easily. So what will happen while Harry is teaching?

A Life Unsettled by JAWorley starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 174]
Cauldron’s bubbled. Potions simmered. And Snape was yelling at Neville again. Just another ordinary day in Potions class, or so they all thought. When a potion reveals something out of the ordinary, Harry’s life is changed forever, and not in a positive way. Was it so unreasonable to ask that he be allowed to make it through sixth year like a normal teenager?

    Um.... So is Snape going to get Harry out of that class or tell him to suck it up. I'm of mixed opinions about this class, one part says keep an open mind and the other says run for the hills. Oh well, I cannot wait to see what happens next with it.

    Harry is so much more forgiving of his friends then I would ever be. He must get that from his mum, cause Sev.... we don't need to go there; everyone knows. ;

    Author's Response: Lol.  In this story I like to think of Harry as myself as far as forgiveness goes... If I haven't forgiven somebody than I'm still walking around with the hurt or anger.  Once I forgive someone then all is said and done and the burden is lifted off of my shoulders, and it becomes their problem at that point if they are unwilling to let things go.

Past Featured Story Ugly Duckling by Morgana starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 68]
Seven year old Harry Potter is the proverbial ugly duckling; small, scrawny, scruffy and (thanks to Dudley Dursley) solitary. However, one day Harry discovers, in a lonely clump of weed, this beautiful black swan … Entrant in the 2011 Fic Exchange. Written for Bil.

Reviewer: Nightshade sydneylover150 (Signed)
    You almost made me cry! (Again! Okay, you actually did. It seems you are able to do that everytime you have Sev dead and Harry learning more about him.) Although I saw it coming, I was so happy that Sev was the swan... and he tried to fight to keep Harry safe.

    Which is why I want to ask, do you think you will ever write a story where Harry dies and we get to see some interaction between the great black swan and 'his ugly duckling?' Because I would love to see (read) Sirus' reaction! Also I'd love to see how Harry reacts to the man knowing what he knows now and that Sev tried so many times to save him.

    If not, I'll live and dream what my own ending. (Like Harry punching Sirus in the nose when he calls him Snivillus!) Great job, love the story!!

Keep Your Enemies Closer by oliversnape starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 54]
Two stubborn wizards are stuck together trying to kill Voldemort for good. The Wizarding world thinks he's already dead, and Snape & Harry discover that Dumbledore didn't quite have all the answers. At least, not the right ones.

Past Featured Story Digging for the Bones by Paganaidd starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 1254]
Rather than allowing Harry to stay at Diagon Alley after he blew up Aunt Marge, the Ministry sends Harry back to the Dursleys. Harry returns to school after a terrible summer, to find that he's not the only one with this kind of secret. A student has been killed by his family. New screening measures are put into place by the Ministry: Every student must be given a medical exam and interview to look for child abuse. With Dumbledore facing an inquiry, Snape is entrusted with the task of making sure EVERYONE receives one.

Title: Chapter 32: Dinner with Dumbledore 22 Sep 2011
Reviewer: Nightshade sydneylover150 (Signed)
    Go away Dumbledore! Severus will you go talk to your ward and explain things already. Swallow the pride and man up!

    PS~ Nice author please write more! Perhaps were Sev actually listens to Lily and talks to the child without antagonizing him? Perhaps even to save him from another one of Dumbles idiotic plans??

    PPS~ Just to state this now, I don't hate Dumbledore. He just has way too much of a Victorian era thought process about families... probably because he grew up then, huh?

    Loving the story, please write more!!

    More? Please? What will Harry's reaction to Spinner's End be? Will they ever warm up to each other?

Title: Chapter 26: My Child 30 Jun 2011
Reviewer: Nightshade sydneylover150 (Signed)
    So is Sev going to admit Lils wants him to be like a father to Harry. (By the way, what does she mean Harry is like his father even if he looks like his dad? Are you referring to the fact that they are both stubborn? Or something more?) Will Harry learn to trust Sev? Does Harry have any of his skills or just James'?

    Please write more? Please?

    I like the sound of Sev's kitchen! Cannot wait to read how those two relationship develops further and if Remus ever hears Poppy's home truths.
