    This story is so wonderful! I love the way you write Harry and Snape, and so many of the other wonderful characters in your very unique plot. I just commented on your livejournal, but I'm looking forward to reading more when you manage to find a translator! I wish I knew french so I could read more, but, alas, although I adored the country when I went there last year on vacation, I was absolutely pathetic when it came to trying to speak it (I tried, though!). Thank you for sharing your time and your wonderful talents!

    Author's Response:

    Thank you very much! My translator is still working on it, so there is hope :-)

    Hey, next time you come to France, come to Brittany, I'll be your guide ;-) 


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.

    Great chapter! Oh man, an emt in Vermont! No wonder you've had no time to write! Glad to hear your home town is alright. We feel so bad for all the wonderful Vermont towns affected by the storm. Being from long island, we used to go up every winter for skiing. Best of luck!

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?

    I absolutely love this story. I think it keeps all the characters in character while taking them in new and exciting places! Can't wait to see where you go with lucius and severus in addition to sev and harry. I love your dumbledore too, and the relationship he has with sev. Something about an evil dumbledore just makes me sad and he's everywhere. Thanks for writing! Hope you feel better!

One night the Veil turned in on itself and spit out two children. Once it is confirmed that the two children are Severus Snape and Siruis Black...and that both children, for some reason refuse to go with anyone other than Harry Potter... things get interesting. Will these two small boys, with the memories of adults, be able to fit in with the already growing family of Harry and Ginny Potter, or will it turn everything inside out?

    Aw, poor severus. Poor harry too. I.can't imagine how taking sirius to see the dursley's will help but I'm looking forward to something helping! Sirius had a pretty traumatic childhood too , didn't he? Burned off the family tree and all that? Maybe that was just later. He did always act spoiled. Anyhow, can't wait for your next chapter... too bad it took a terrible class to bring it out of you! It's pretty early in the semester still .. best of luck in the class! (I teach hs and am finishing my master's now, so I hear you from both sides of the fence!)

    I adore this story! It's funny, I was thinking in my head of a story I wanted to read but didn't think it was in existence (or at least not in existence while being well written) of a de-aged child Snape (not baby Snape like in Serendipity, though I love that fic) who stil had his memories.

    The veil idea was excellent and you're really pulling it off well! It's definitely a tricky plot to write!

    Thanks for sharing!
