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.

- Same here - went through withdrawal. :) Good to see Harry finally releasing all that emotion. It is interesting to note that despite his condition, Harry still had the capacity to analyse the blood replenisher potion!
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! Yes, I was waiting for that moment where Harry would let go. The way I see it, Harry was analyzing the potion, a bit desperately, to avoid thinking about the elephant in the room.

- Thanks for the update!
Was Snape's hesitation before offering Harry the use of his broom and also his gruffness due to the fact that it reminded him of James Potter?

- I like how Snape is so proper and "Englishy" (Sorry, I know of no other adjectives to use! ;) ) when he is speaking. I also enjoy how proper Harry is when he is answering Snape!
Besides Armilla by Coral Grace, I like fictions with guardian/mentor themes by oliversnape. Those fictions are posted here in P&S. Just a note: the author also wrote a few other fictions which are based on romance between Potter and Snape which is not my thing. So I just skipped those. They are posted in fanfiction.net.
Author's Response: Thanks for reviewing! :) Yeah, I've been having fun writing the dialogue. Thanks a million for introducing me to Armilla, I read it and the sequel in the space of three days. It was incredible, and I never would have thought to read it even if I had heard of it.
This is a series of one-shots in the universe of 'To Trust', featuring Harry's first year and onward.

- Really happy to see another update from you!
I like how the ideas from the previous "To Trust" are incorporated into this version with an older Harry, for example the deterioration of Harry's condition due to his magic compensating for his health, how different and yet how similar also an older and weaker Harry reacted to Snape's ministration.
Did Harry kill Voldemort then, when he blasted the bundle out of Wormtail's hands? And whose blue-grey eyes did Snape see? And is the tall thin figure at the scene with flickering streetlamps Dumbledore? So many questions? Do we get a continuation to this version? :)
I like both versions, by the way.

- So happy to see your new post! I like how you used the troll incident and gave it a new twist. Love your Snape as usual. Keep writing! :)
Hogwarts offers an informational meeting for all the muggle-raised first years. Harry decides to go. The only trouble is that his relatives would never take him.

- I enjoyed the story very much! Like everyone else, I hope there will be a sequel. :)
Author's Response: I am really happy you did. I will try to come up with something good :)
With the anniversary of the defeat of Voldemort fast approaching, the Wizarding World is finding it hard to bounce back. It is then that a certain Trio (plus one) find a chance to fix things the first time around far too good an opportunity to pass up. Harry hopes to save those he lost, including a certain Potions Master.

- There is an update! *does a little jig of joy* Yay! :)
I really like this story and am looking forward to the further unfolding of the plot. It is really interesting to see how the Trio plus one (soon to be Quartet?) reexperience and reanalyse everything from their adult point of view. Severus Snape is very much in character and I like how you slowly introduce his doubts to his own biased view of Harry.
Upon the mention of a creation of Horace Slughorn's at the dinner table, Filius becomes rather incensed; Aurora has seen something in a magazine; Severus, as ever, has papers to mark.
Oh, for the life of a cat.

- Great side chapter! It was nice to get some insight regarding Snape. I wished you'd extended it up to where he entered the common room when Harry was figuring out the Forgetfulness potion. Would have been lovely to read Snape's POV there. :) And the mystery regarding the pink scars on his feet and ankles that Harry saw in Book 4 is solved. I was wondering about reasons behind the scars. Looking forward to more chapters from you. Thanks!
Author's Response: Ah, thanks so much for such a lovely comment! The more I get into writing Severus' POV in Book 5 the more I really appreciate the differences in the way he sees the world, you know? It's fun just 'cause a lot of what he does can seem like, hard to understand, but when I write dialogue I try to have an idea of what both parties are thinking even though you only see Harry's view. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the series! :)
