Gryffindor!
Everyone thought Harry's scar came from Voldemort. But they were wrong. The scar was the sign of a rare & terrible gift, the power to call monstrous storms. A power that could save or destroy Harry unless he learns to harness it. Can Snape & Lily help him master his terrible gift? Or will he self-destruct . . .and take the world with him?

- Good chapter! And yes, I loved the little reunion. On thing I must ask though ... Is Sirius actually guilty in this case, or was he innocent? You did give a reason for him turning to Voldemort's side, which made me wonder how Severus would know that or if Sirius was in fact guilty. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next chapter!

- Great chapter! Definitely made my morning!
As far as Harry knew, it was all some sort of experiment that only Dumbledore could understand. He had no idea that the cat he had been given to keep him company instead of Hedwig over the holidays before his 3rd year, was in fact, his hated Potions Master in disguise.
Because of the Azkaban escapee, Sirius Black, Severus is sent to stay with Harry during the entire summer, never making a sound nor leaving the boy's side. He could not speak, nor could he defend Harry against anyone other than the criminal on the loose, however Severus does something that no other adult in Harry's life had done before...he listened.

- Ooh, nifty idea! I don't believe I have seen this idea done before. Please continue, as I am looking forward to the next chapter! It's fitting that Harry would call Severus Seven too. I thought it was pretty funny that Harry called him Sev as a nickname! Not to mention, I do wonder what dear old Tuney will think of that!

- I loved this chapter! I'm really glad you went more canon with Harry's mistreatment, as many authors really go to town with the abuse, which I'm not huge on. One thing I noticed though was that your dialogue was formatted incorrectly. Instead of 'Meow.' He said. it should be 'Meow,' he said. There should be a comma and the he shouldn't be capitalized. I know it took me ages to learn most of the rules for dialogue (I'm still learning too) so I would suggest that you read an article or two on the internet to clarify some things, as it helped me to do so. Anyways, I really liked the chapter and am looking forward to the next one sooo much! It made me laugh when Snape meowed. ;)
Answer to Romanticide's challenge Correct Answers: How would things change if Harry had studied before Potions and answered all Snape's questions perfectly, then became a model student? Would Snape see more of Lily in Harry then?

- I loved it. I especially liked the part where Snape was thinking back on when Lily won the potions award and blew him a kiss when she saw him in the crowd. I can just see the look on young Severus' face! Thank you. ;)

"Perhaps a man with a prerogative to redeem himself in the memory of the mother would, in turn, give comfort to a child so justifiably desperate for it,” Dumbledore grinned at the other man’s unbidden expression of shock. “But when said like that, it hardly encompasses the depth of emotion I would expect when I see the person in question has cradled Harry Potter to sleep after a nightmare.” “I-I...” Severus scowled. “I was not cradling him.”

- I really like your writing style! Your ideas are really unique, and I am very much looking forward to more! As for pointers ... I must say is that there are a few little errors here an there (both in chapter 1 and 2) that were obviously just little things that got looked over. Perhaps go back and read the two chapters aloud so you catch those slippery little buggers. ;) Another thing was that I noticed your dialogue was formatted incorrectly on occasion. For example "Did I not just say so?" He spat. The he should not be capitalized (I know, it seems odd, right) so it should be "Did I not just say so?" he spat. Anyways, the best thing for you to do probably (I know this helped me a lot) would be to look up formatting dialogue on the internet. I just thought I would mention the dialogue because nobody told me I was making mistakes with it for a really long time and then I had to go back an fix stuff, which took ages. Hopefully this was helpful, and please write more of this story because you had me swept away before the end of the first chapter! Thank you for the lovely story, and sorry if I annoyed you at all with the whole punctuation police thing! :)

- Good chapter! I loved the letters. It was really cute when Harry asked Snape to be his friend. Silly Severus using such big words in a letter for an eight year old. On the plus side, Harry will have improved his vocabulary greatly from reading the letters. I laughed when I read your little note about the unfortunate misspelling of the title "Princess Gold". I have a friend who's spelling blunder is just is bad actually. When she was in grade one they had to write out recipes, and she did peanut butter cookies. Unfortunately my friend titled the recipe ( in all her six year old wisdom) "Penist buttr cookies". Anyways, enough rambling on my part. I am looking forward to the next chapter!

- I love how you've written Harry. I find him very believable, what with his troubled thoughts regarding how his aunt and uncle feel about him. I liked how you said that his stomach hurt when his aunt said they never wanted him, as for a child a pain like that would feel much like a stomach ache, or at least I recall rejection as feeling so at that age. It was overall a very good chapter, and I look forward to the next! :)

- Good chapter. I thought you did Snape pretty well, and I think it would take Harry mentioning something of his previous treatment for Snape to snap out of his rather harsh demeanor and remember Harry is only a child.

- Great chapter! I loved how Harry went out to play in the rain, and he was just so funny, asking all those questions without waiting for an answer! You're doing a great job of Snape slowly warming up to Harry. I really liked how Harry realized that he was glad that he wasn't Dudley, as this is an important realization for anyone when they compare themselves to the other Dudleys of the world. It really struck a chord for me when Harry realized he was happy, because I know that sometimes it takes something good to happen for you to realize that you weren't happy.
