At Lily's request, Albus Dumbledore has kept a secret from Severus Snape for 17 years. When Dumbledore learns that this secret plays a vital role in the war, however, it is Snape who is left to deal with the consequences. As Harry's true parentage is revealed, both his and Snape's futures become uncertain. The two must learn to work together in order to survive. PreHBP.

    I really enjoyed this chapter. I have to wonder if Harry is going to find out about the letter from Snape or from Hermione when they get back. I can't wait for the next chapter and look forward to it.

    Author's Response: Haha, sorry for the suspense! I'm excited to write this upcoming chapter. I will try not to make it too long a wait. Thank you for reviewing :)

Summer after the Department of Mysteries. Harry is at the Dursleys when he recieves some mail. Once particular letter has a very sinister plan...to make Harry blind. How does this affect Severus Snape? Does he have a secret that was meant to be kept...secret?

    This is interesting. I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Harry Potter is badly abused by the Dursleys, but he finds a new way to defend himself. Could this be "the Power the Dark Lord knows not"? Who is going to help Harry? Harry-Snape bonding/mentorship. AU Pre-HBP

    This is interesting. I look forward to seeing where this goes from here.

Response to Burned Hedwig Challenge... After blowing up his aunt, Harry's uncle abuses him farther than his mental capacity can stand. Even his cousin is concerned, and sends a letter by way of owl "To Whom It May Concern" pleading for his cousins sake for help. But Harry needs more than to be taken from his family. He needs to gain the will to live.

    I find this story to be highly amusing. I have to wonder what happened with Vernon and what Petunia's going to say about all this. I look forward to reading more and seeing how things go.

Sometimes getting what you want is terrifying. Can Severus and Harry manage after the roller coaster that was first year?

Sequel to Reading the Signs.

    I like where this is going and I look forward to reading more of it. I have to wonder if you realized that this chapter was loaded three times.

Summer after fourth year is finally over, and things are not as expected when Harry makes it back to the magical world. Badly broken and determined for it to stop, Harry turns to, surprisingly, a certain Potions Master, who in turn finds within himself, of all places, a heart still beating and waiting to love, and be loved in turn.

    This chapter and the last were wonderful. I loved them. I can't wait for more to see how things go and what happens next. I think I know what Ron wants to talk to Snape about but I'm not sure. I can't wait to find out.

The killing curse which was cast upon Harry as a baby had some unknown, yet devastating, effects on his ability to function in both the wizarding and muggle worlds.

    I love Sev's parseltongue translation of his name. It's cute. I look forward to reading more to see what happens next.
