the Baby Dragon
Slytherin!
![](<a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/u/4193847/"><img src="/fanfiction/images/ffn.gif" border=none></a>){kind=link}
Left with partial paralysis after being tortured by Voldemort, Severus is sent to Bell Point, a secure location on the seaside owned by the Order of the Phoenix. However, he is not the only one who will be there, for Harry, refusing to express his emotions regarding Sirius’ death, has unknowingly invoked an ancient kind of magic that will force him to deal with them. Deaged to four years old, he has to contend with a bitter and broken Snape, who, like Harry, is being forced to live in a body that does not work the way it used to. These two vastly different people have beat the odds many times over, and somehow prevailed in a world that has tried time and time again to destroy them. But the challenges they now face are nothing like they’ve ever seen before. Will they rise to the occasion, or become prisoners within themselves?

| Title: Chapter 18: Photographs | 09 May 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- I loved it! Hermione seems like she's now on the road to recovery, and Snape is beginning to loosen up.
Very nicely done!
Author's Response: Glad you liked it Ivycloak! Thanks for reviewing.

- I liked it a lot! And I'm curious as to what Dumbledore is up to...And I loved that little bit where Harry said "Severus" as many times as possible in one moment. :)
Author's Response: Great to hear you liked Harry's fun with Severus' name! Hmm, yes, what is Dumbledore up to? You'll find out soon enough ... Thanks for the review!
| Title: Chapter 20: An Unexpected Visitor | 24 May 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Lovely chapter! I hope Snape gets to courage up to ask Hermione to stay...I think she would prefer that greatly.
I loved the whole scene with the "knights" and "giants". It had me smiling all the way through.
Author's Response:
Yeah, Hermione does kind of seem to want to, doesn't she? I am glad you liked the knights and giants scene. I love writing scenes with imaginative play. Sooo fun. Thanks for reviewing!
| Title: Chapter 21: Fire in the Sky | 01 Jun 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Yes, terrible, horrible, evil cliffhanger! One of the worst!
Well, while I may not want to wait for more (pout), from an analytical point of view my excitement means that this was very well done. Bravo!
Author's Response: Thanks Ivycloak for the review! I am glad that you are so excited about the story ... even though it means rather unfortunately that it will make it harder to wait for the next chapter! It'll come next week though. Nothing worse than a story being abandoned on a cliff hanger ... I shudder to think. Now *that* is evil!
| Title: Chapter 22: A Risk Worth Taking | 06 Jun 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Loved it. I suspected Harry may be turning back soon after that break-down, and you haven't let us know whether this bout of unconsciousness IS him turning back, but I am suspicious. I am also assuming that Hermione's conjuring the patronus ties into her own emotional recovery. Nice chapter, as always. I'll be sad when this story ends!
Author's Response: Hmm ... that is the question, eh? Yes, Hermione conjuring the patronus was her emotional recovery, in some sense. I wanted to show that while she is still suffering, she now sees happiness in her life as well. Thanks for the review!
| Title: Chapter 23: The Key in Hand | 15 Jun 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Yay! Harry's back! Now, how will he deal with the fact that his neglect has become known? And won't he be embarassed when he finds out all of the things he let slip while in a child's body?
Author's Response: Oh, dear, there were a large number of silly things he did! I suppose embarrasment is inevitable! Thanks for the review and thoughts Ivycloak!! ;)
| Title: Chapter 24: Fallen Fortresses | 21 Jun 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Now you've got me really wondering what the heck that memory was! I'm also HOPING that Severus will do something about Hermione's living situation as well...But Nice chapter!
Author's Response: Well, Sevrerus knows now that there is a good chance she wants to live there with him too, so keep hoping he has the courage! Thanks so much for the review, and sorry for all the wondering I have left you doing! ;)
| Title: Chapter 25: The Little Things | 29 Jun 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- I liked the way you ended with this chapter, with Severus's thoughts on the little things. And I wholeheartedly agree with his opinion.
Author's Response: Hey, Ivycloak! It is fantastic to hear you enjoyed hearing Severus' thoughts and opinions on the little things. Thanks for sharing yours!
| Title: Chapter 26: Come Home, Hermione | 05 Jul 2013 |
| Reviewer: Ivycloak (Signed) |
- Severus with his little speeches was very funny! I just have one question: this chapter seems to wrap up the entire story, and yet you said nothing about it being the end...? I am hoping that this means that there will be more?
Author's Response: It does wrap things up a fair bit, yes, but there are still so many loose ends so no ... this isn't the end. Probably that will come in two to three chapters. Thanks for the review!
