- lol the life of a parent.
Severus adopts Harry with a little help from the worlds most... unexpected social worker. A fluffy little fic that's been on my mind for some time.

- I have one word and it is.....COOL!!!!
Okay I have a little more to say :P
I like it very much and I think its neat that Tom saved him and then became the minister. I'm sure he is 10x better then Fudge ever was or would have been.
Harry Potter is located in London in the dead of night. How exactly did he end up there, and what has he been doing? Well, any kid with half a brain knows not to talk to strangers.

- Hmm interesting. I personally would have bolted and not have gone with the crazy old man.

- hmm I wonder when Snape will realize that Harry isn't who he thinks he is. Also, that Harry has no idea what or who he is and that Magic is fairly new to him.

- Oh no what happened to Harry? Lets hope that (lets say he is fine and only dropped a glass, which doesn't explain the vibration from probably something heavy hitting the floor like a body)that Severus doesn't yell at him for ruining his potion.
Author's Response:
;) If I were you, I would assume that Snape will have a lot more on his mind than ruined potions when he finds out what happened. I'm not saying anything, just a suggestion ;p Thanks for reviewing! I love feedback.

- awww I missed this update. Why must I go out of town... Anyways, I expected the yelling per say may not have wanted Harry to be yelled at out but usually adults yell then apologize for yelling. I wasn't expecting Harry getting hurt though that was a shocker. I don't blame Harry for being scared and not trusting. Dumbledore is in for a shock when he see Harry again. Harry will never trust ol' Dumbles again.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! I actually posted this chapter while I was out of town myself, funnily enough. I'm glad you enjoyed, I had this scene planned for a while.

- To be honest I don't blame Harry for being cautious of anything an adult does around him. He hasn't had an adult done anything "good" for him ever. I think Snape is taking an interesting approach to giving Harry his potions and also he is teaching Harry in a way. I hope the trust comes soon.

- Why is Harry being so damn despicable. People call Severus the greasy git but right now Harry is the one with the issues and being the git. I am kind of getting frustrated with him.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Yes, I know Harry is acting irritating, but think about it: he's a traumatized, depressed, suicidal ten year old who's lashing out at Snape because he feels safe. Harry is not even aware of why he's doing it, but when a person is in that much pain, they have to let it out somehow, or they'll implode. And the average teenager acts the same way Harry is right now, and most of them are not traumatized and damaged the way he is.
