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.

    I get the impression that changing the subject or declaring it "late" when he doesn't like what's being said is another strategy Dumbledore uses to spare himself anxiety.

    Good chapter :)

    I like this a lot :) That last thought of Snape's is especially noteworthy.

    Good story

    Author's Response: Thank you so much! :D

Title: Chapter 4: Temporary Home 17 Mar 2011
Reviewer: 1reader_1writer (Signed)
    Good chapter, though I'm surprised Harry is acting as bold as he is. I guess I figured he'd be a little more cautious during the summer, especially at Snape's house.

    Author's Response:

    Harry can be foolishly brave. But his boldness will get him into trouble, if he doesn't watch it. ;-)

    Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. :-) 


Following the death of Sirius, Harry isn't sure what to make of the sudden appearance of a six-year-old boy. The pair form a bond, unaware they're half-brothers, and Harry decides to take the boy to Hogwarts and hide him there. To aide the boy's education, Harry anonymously exchanges letters with Snape.

A story of a how a young boy becomes a father-figure to another while their own father is oblivious of their biological existence. But can sixteen-year-old Harry give what he himself has not gained? Can he go an entire year without being discovered? Just how far will Severus go to find the writer of those letters...Or are some things best left unknown?

    Now that was both engaging and confusing. I'm worried about what damage Kreacher will do.
