    I feel very uneasy about this story... but i want to see what happened next, though I think it will be sad one...

    Author's Response: It is in sharp contrast to some of my other stuff, absolutely. World of grey clouds is mainly meant to deal with Snape's good characteristics and how he may discover them further, this however, deals with his dark sides. The beginning here is meant to be my take on a world where Snape is not held responsible for his actions in the same way and gets what he wanted, thus the whole 'redemption' and guilt aspect isn't present here is the same way. But yeah, it is by no means pleasant. :)

When Severus overhears a wish Harry has, he starts to wonder why such a simple wish hasn’t already been granted. He also begins to wonder what Harry has been hiding and finds himself surprised at why Harry has lied to him. A one shot.

    I spilled some tears here and there.
    I must say that way Harry talked to Sirius was sooo manipulative, I was impressed ;)

    I will be frank... I think that if you aimed for making it longer then one shot you would do much better with staying in characters - Severus being more stingy and sterm, Harry more keeping to himself, Sirius more mad... but I still really enjoyed reading it and it was good for one shot - again, you got tears from me, that count for something!

    Keep up giving us awsome stories.

During the 19th century London, Harry Potter falls down the chimney of the apothecary of one Professor Severus Snape; bringing with him dire inconveniences.

But not every family is found in blood, and not every story follows the same path. For Harry, Snape and Draco, the truth has never been harsher.

A Severitus AU, one without magic. A/N: Slow edits.

    I don't really get what Severous is aiming at (and I don't get what set him of sometimes too, 5 Harry on that). Is he wanting to throw Harry to Dumbledore? Because I got bit pissed of when he told Harry to "not call it that" when Harry named shop home (and I want to be wrong about it :/) and I am pretty sure Sev refered same way to it while taking Harry back after his run away. So either he is not managing his own feelings or planing to get rid of kid... or both really. (drama sigh)
    Overall concept of the story is interesting, I have to admit I needed to go back to main page to check summary about magic thing, cos I wasn't sure is it there or not, some things looked like they could have been magical~ I am not really knowledge in history, but I am buying what you are selling here.

    PS.
    There is no chapter 11? I am ending my reading for now, but I hope there is no hole there since there are two 12? Cos I am coming back here for more!

    OK... I wanted to stop reading now and save it and I am sure now there will be a hole - when I click next it is not loading (empty space), and when I choose from list "The Almost Apologies" it skip to "the guest of MM". Knowing my luck you won't be around, but if so could you try to fix it? Thanks...
