"Perhaps a man with a prerogative to redeem himself in the memory of the mother would, in turn, give comfort to a child so justifiably desperate for it,” Dumbledore grinned at the other man’s unbidden expression of shock. “But when said like that, it hardly encompasses the depth of emotion I would expect when I see the person in question has cradled Harry Potter to sleep after a nightmare.” “I-I...” Severus scowled. “I was not cradling him.”

    That was amazing. Like, wow. I enjoyed this so much! Thank you, so very much, for writing this beautiful, sweet and in-character story!! Words cannot describe how much I adore this, so thanks again.:)

Snape never wanted anyone to know of his promise to Dumbledore, but has realised that he can protect Potter much better by taking a less passive role in the boy's training. Actually liking Harry Potter has never been part of his plan. mentor/guardian.

    This story was absolutely brilliant, hands down. The way you wrote the plots and drove them, twisting canon into totally new areas I've never even thought of or read in other fics, it was a fabulous read.:) thank you so much for this work of genius luv!!

“The champions' families are invited to watch the final task, you know.” - Professor McGonagall, GoF Page 534. What happens when the Dursley’s come to watch the last task in the Triwizard Tournament, and how will Severus Snape deal with the fallout?

    Ahhh! I adore you as an author, you have no idea.:) I'm pleasantly surprised you updated too! This one has me especially hooked; I had always wondered how this particular take on the story would go-the Dursleys getting a taste of what Harry's life is like in the Wizarding world-and lo and behold you've begun writing about it!:D It's lovely and full of feels and oh my word, I just love your story. So, whenever you are able to update again, just know it's greatly appreciated and awaited!^^

    Author's Response: Thanks!  This is the type of review that makes me want to write more (and to pick up my original novel series again and start writing on it again) :)  Thanks!

Dumbledore forces Severus to continue to teach Potter Occlumency. This prolonged exposure engenders a fragile bond between the two. This new relationship will change the lives of many, including their own.

Adoption and torture warning have been added as the story may deal with those but are not a certainty as of now.

    So I was at the dentist when I got to this chapter and it helped get my mind off of the whole thing which I thank you for.;) and I haven't felt this kind of anxious dread since reading the canon death of Sirius in the books. Very great writing and believable character development!! I hope you update soon. I can't imagine what may happen next!:D

One unlucky hit with a strange spell. That's all it took to alter the course of Harry's life - and everyone else's life around him. Bound to stay within ten feet of each other, Harry Potter and Severus Snape have to learn to get along or die trying.

But sometimes in the hardest of times, one can learn things never imagined possible. After all, the past doesn't define the future.

    OH my word I am LOVING this story.

    I adore your writing and how everything is so fresh (since sometimes the usual plots are reused in fanfics lol) and I love how they aren't out of character either.

    Fantastic work love! Keep it up!:D

Reviewer: RonnieLepkowitz (Signed)
    Ahhhh!!! That was so terribly sweet!! I adore it oh my word. Your writing of Harry's inner thoughts, especially the bit about how if he couldn't have happiness he would destroy it first, instead of waiting around for it to be yanked away cruelly, was powerful. Wonderful chapter as always!

Harry unexpectedly finds himself being tutored by Professor Snape. And as if that wasn't weird enough, Snape's actually nice to him.
On the other side, Snape cannot fathom why he'd suddenly feel so protective of Harry bloody Potter! What is the reason behind this development and will it last?
They'll find out one thing: love truly is a charm.

Reviewer: RonnieLepkowitz (Signed)
    Ahhhh! That was wonderful! It's usually hard to find a fic with the right amount if angst and fluff but you did wonderfully!! I also love that you included Hermione and Ron as well as Dumbles in a softer and friendly light. Your writing is simply lovely! Thank you so much it was a great read!^^ I look forward to the sequel luv.:) I'll need a good read when I'm back in college haha.

    Author's Response:

    Yeah, I feel the angst level in most fics is way overdone, especially the ones with the younger Harry in them. Some times they try to justify it by going crazy with the plot and having him tortured/raped etc. just for the sake of angst - I don't like that. These topics are very sensitive and should be addressed as such. I think being an orphan growing in an unloved environment is bad enough without those things as well.

    Dumbles always either turns into an evil git (trading postions with snape) or is completely blind - its rare to find a realistic Dumbledore who is many layered and not only manipulative. Especially if we have the canon with Ariana!

    Thanks a lot for your review and the kind words, I hope I can keep entertaining you with my stories. I'll message you when I post the Sequel


After a year away at Hogwarts, Harry expects his summer to be like all the rest. For better or for worse, there's a big difference this time.

    Love the ideas, plots and characterization!:) and I'm from the South too so I understand about the biscuits haha! And pudding. I wondered if pudding was all they ate until I realized that was a general term lol. Such a hoot!xD

    Author's Response:

    Thank you! I worry a lot about characterization. 

    It wasn't until I was watching some sort of show where they said something like 'get a fruit cup for pudding' that I realized they probably just meant dessert.  

    Thanks for the review! 


Snape, of course, would no sooner let them play games in class than adopt Harry -GoF pg 342.

Harry never expected to be adopted—especially not by Snape. Harry hates his new father, and the feeling is mutual. But to the outside world, they have to pretend otherwise, or Harry could end up in very deep trouble. Is anyone that good at acting?

~In memory of one of the greatest actors of our time~

    Ahhhh! I loved where this was going SO MUCH! I love the humor and the way Harry thinks about things. And how there's a parallel there between him and Snape regarding being people they really aren't (the spying and fooling the social workers.) I hadn't thought of it quite like that, so thank you for bringing that to light luv. I'm not sure if you'll come back to this story, but I do eagerly await more if you do!!

When an Occlumency lesson goes wrong, Snape learns more about Harry’s past than he ever wanted to—and it changes everything. But change doesn’t come easily, especially for two who have spent five years loathing each other’s very existence. Can Snape and Harry come to a mutual understanding of sorts to defeat their greatest enemy—themselves? Spring of 5th year, A/U. Completely written and posted in chapter installments.

    Eeee! I'm loving this story. It's frightfully sad in ways, which is understandable given the reality of the Dursley household. But I'm happy to see some action being taken! And that Albus is good (so many fics write him to turn a blind eye to Harry ;-;). Oh, and I especially like how this all started! It's a very believable concept that Harry's anger and emotions would get the best of him to show such memories to Snape to simply shut the man up with the truth. I do so enjoy your writing and I look forward to more.^_^
