Slytherin!
![](<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1983718/"><img src="/fanfiction/images/ffn.gif" border=none></a>){kind=link}
Book 2 of "Right in Front of Me" series. Voldemort is gaining power & Harry is sure that Draco is not to be trusted. Can Snape protect the dark haired boy he's come to love as a son, while shielding his precious family from the evils closing in on them? (HBP Year 6 - AU-ish w/ OC, but follows canon. Severitus - mentor/adoption - mentions sexual abuse, but no details - NO SLASH!)
Takes Place: 6th Year

- Harry, Harry, Harry! (Shakes head) You know you invaded the Slytherin compartment. Malfoy may have gotten carried away, but you kind of asked for it by invading their privacy. I imagine Snape experienced that same thing with James so he would not have any patience for your excuses. On a personal note, I'm glad your kids are better. That sounded like a miserable experience for everyone.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for the kind words regarding my kiddos!! It was definitely NOT an experience I ever want to repeat, lol. As for Harry... It's funny how the same prejudice that was so prevalent during his childhood now seems to be seeping into his own character and beliefs. It's blinding him to some of Malfoy's issues (which I believe he would recognize from his own trials and tribulations), if he would just stop perpetuating the hateful assumptions. It's actually kind of sad - he and Malfoy could really help each other, I think. Thank you so much for the review!!

- Hmm. If Narcissa is with Draco, it seems like they have been set in motion by Voldy. I hope Hagrid can handle things.
Author's Response: To be addressed next chapter!! ^_- Thank you for reading and reviewing!!

- Aww, Severus. You need to chill out a bit and enjoy the brief peace and quiet. You need a break from Death Eater and Voldy worries. And, let's face it, you love those estrogen pests! Nice break from the tension of Snape and Malfoy.
Author's Response: Lol, I agree with all of the above!! Sometimes I wonder if Sev suffers from PTSD because of his past, as well as everything he's been forced to do and see since then. I know firsthand what it's like dealing with a loved one who has it, and he has a lot of the same signs. The hubs is like Sev - always uptight and on alert. I'm hoping Severus gives me the opportunity to write a few fun scenes for him, but so far this year has been nothing but curve balls for the poor guy. Thank you so much for reading + reviewing!! ^_^ I appreciate it more than you know. <3

- I enjoyed reading all the gifts that Harry received. The Umbridge dart board was a neat idea.
Author's Response: I'm so sorry for taking so long to respond!! But thank you for your kind words. It was definitely a (fun) challenge getting into the character's heads and trying to come up with what they'd give Harry. The dartboard was my personal favorite. ^_-

- It's good to see all the support Harry has - all his friends in the Tower, his new family and the faculty. He has had a pleasant end to the summer which should make things easier when the school year starts and things begin to get busy.
Author's Response: Yes!! Now if only Harry would REMEMBER that when things get tough... He's already made that mistake where Sirius was concerned. Let's hope he's learned a little something from that tough life lesson. Thank you for reviewing!!

- Harry's party was great! I loved all the fun hats that the attendees received. It's always neat to find out what sort of gift ideas authors have for Harry Potter characters. These didn't disappoint. Albus' sounded especially perfect for him. Purple and it dispenses lemon drops - he may never take it off.
Author's Response: I'm so sorry it too me so long to respond. But thank you so much for your review!! I have to admit, it made me smile because it took me WEEKS (literally) to come up with the perfect party hats for everyone. It was kind of ridiculous, lol. I'm so very glad you liked them!! ^_^

- I'm glad that Albus and Severus have come to a meeting of the minds regarding Harry. They don't have much time to work with him. I was sorry to hear about your problems. A friend of mine has had her home struck by lightning twice over the past couple of years. The last time was last year. She lost all her electronics and the online projects she had been working on.
Author's Response: TWICE?! Holy... Yeah, I couldn't imagine. That would be AWFUL!! Poor thing. My husband has set up a system that will hopefully save all my files, should this ever happen again (God forbid. If it does I'm going to have to start wondering who I pissed off in a past life, lol). In the meantime, I'm trying to look at this as a positive. It's hard some days, but... At least people only died in my heart than in real life (sad laugh... sniff sniff). Anyway, thank you for reading and reviewing!! There is definitely more to come regarding Snape and Dumbledore. ^_-

- Keeping things from Severus is going to be hard for Harry. Still, I wouldn't be surprised if Severus has anticipated this. He has been a spy for a long time now.
Author's Response: Indeed, I think it's going to be the most difficult for Harry. However, Snape has no experience being a spy AND a father, so you never know... It could be HIM that gets the brunt of it!! I guess we'll just have to wait and see. ^_-

- That must have solidified Draco's resolve to end the Dark Lord. I hope he will be able to work around Bella without her knowledge. Between Severus and Albus though, they should be able to come up with something.
Author's Response: First off, I'm so sorry for the late response!! It's not often that I get time to actually sit down on the computer. And yes, this DEFINITELY solidified Draco's resolve. As for Bella... We shall see. ^_- Thank you for the review!!

- That's a hard situation for Harry and Severus both. At least they know that the roles they must play aren't permanent. Though Snape may have to keep reminding Harry of that fact.
Author's Response: I'm sorry for the late response. But yes, I think it will be especially hard for poor Harry... Like Snape, he hasn't had much luck when it came to unconditional familial love. But then again, Snape hasn't had much experience at being a father... so he may not even realize his mistakes. We'll see!! ^_-
