    I'm not sure if I've read (and reviewed) this before, over a ff.net, perhaps - but nevertheless I found it enjoyable. A lovely little 'what if' piece. Would have made things a little nicer, and possibly forshadowed a much more tolerable ending for our dark hero. Good job!

    Author's Response: Thank you so much. :). I'm glad that you liked it and thanks for the awesome review. 

He promised to protect her son. Two years later, a cat visits Privet Drive.

    Nice story - lovely to see Harry finally get the care he so desperately needed (that was disgusting behaviour on Petunia's part) and nice to see Severus give in to himself and indulge in the pleasant feelings of helping someone in need. Even if it was Potter's brat. ;)
    As a Mum one thing in particular bothered me - Severus gave him juice instead of water when Harry was suffering, or close to suffering, heatstroke. For reality sake, he should have given him water... and then juice if he still felt he should have the calories and minerals etc. Sorry for the parenting lesson lol - I couldn't help myself.
    The only other thing that bothered me, any three year old I have had - and I am a mother of five - has been able to take off their own nappy. In fact could do so by at least about 18 months if not earlier - seems odd that Harry hadn't worked this out for himself - especially with 'accidental magic' at his disposal...
    Other than those minor, mostly ridiculous quibbles - fantastic job - very enjoyable. Thanks so much for sahring it.

On Halloween, a special quilt evokes memories for both Harry and Snape. One-shot. (Written for Halloween 2010.)

    Aww. I think I want a sequel to this, where Harry realises the 'boy' is Severus, and what he represents. *wishes*
    ;)
    Great job! Very entertaining!

    Author's Response: Hmm... That's an angle that I'd never considered! Thanks for the idea! I wasn't really planning a sequel, but I'll keep that in mind for a rainy day! Thanks for reading and reviewing!

It was a dark and busy night and not quite curfew. Harry had decided on a moment of peace as Halloween approaches and ventured to the library for some reading. He sees the odd sight of Snape sitting at a table and is determined to just ignore the man. However he's sitting right where Harry had wanted to sit and the teenager wasn't going to let this stop him. And so, the sixth year Gryffindor sat across from his hated Slytherin teacher. Simply put, things do not go as expected.

    Yes, he's very human... and oddly far more vulnerable than he may appear.

    Great fic!

    Ah, to have gotten Harry and Snape together under such circumstances in canon... *imagines*

Response to Roommate Wanted challenge by chrmisha. Harry has been in the Muggle world for several years trying for some peace. He has a whole apartment to himself and it seems lonely. He advertises for a roommate. Chaos insuses.

Reviewer: misundersnape (Signed)
    I have just read your reviews and believe them to be overly harsh and aggressive.
    This is not a bad effort, especially for a first fic. I don't feel the characters, given the amount of background we have so far received, to be OOC. They just seem like two men who have been through a lot, tried to escape their former worlds and then inadvertantly were shocked to discover they'd been thrown back together. As for Hermione and Ron, to be honest I actually agree with some reviewers that I don't think they'd betray Harry - however, I actually got a strong sense that this is actually not what they did, I felt that it was more likely that Harry misheard what they were saying, and bolted before confronting them - so in fact they might not have been planning anything so sinister at all. Silly Harry!!!!! Just my thoughts on how it all played out. It's all about interpretation.
    Loved the shirts - that had me giggling - I can so see Snape doing this in an attempt to distract himself from his misery and past.
    You CAN, and SHOULD write whatever takes your fancy, taking on board whichever constraints you want, and dismissing whichever you want also - that's your business. If readers don't like the direction, then, only if they feel the need, politely say they don't like the direction, and don't return. Not every premise will take one's fancy - and that's fine. But they should never presume to know and tell you what other readers will like/believe. If they do, ignore them, especially if they do so on an unsigned review. That to me indicates they believe it okay to insult people and their work if they can't be 'seen'. It is never acceptable.
    Constructive crit is welcome, but aggressive condemnation is not.
    Anyway - your story is fine, I hope you will continue, practice writing and fulfil your fantasies - that's what this is all about.

A fast little read about what happens when Harry isn't aware that someone is listening to him rant.

    Aww... cute. Wouldn't it have been nice for Harry if there had been any alternative to him needing to live with the horrid Dursleys...

In a small coffee shop in London, Severus meets a side of Harry that both unsettles him and intrigues him. From here, a game is played.

    Whoa - deep. Maybe too deep for me. And I see that Severus even floundered a little too.
    Poor Harry, he's definitely lost. A shame the adults in our lives don't always have the answers...

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?
