Slytherin!
"How much do you hate me?" Harry asked Snape. "Infinitely," Snape sneered at him. "How much do you hate Sirius?" "Also, infinitely." "It's commonly understood that there are greater and lesser infinities. Whose infinity is greater?"

- Oh, hell! I can't believe Umbridge just trapped a professor inside a classroom. Surely she's gone too far this time! Still, I'm glad that Harry and Severus have been forced together. This will give them an opportunity of getting to know each other. Its just so awful that Harry had a melt down but it was also entirely appropriate given his childhood trauma.
Umbridge is being the usual unpleasant toad, isn't she. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to paint her as a good character. Probably not. Its easier to invent a time macchine than to find anything good in everyone's most hated toad. (Maybe if they tried to kiss her?)
Author's Response:
Well, trapping Severus was an accident. She hadn't intended to do that. Not that it makes it okay for her to trap a student, but Severus wasn't supposed to be involved. And yes, the whole point of writing that in there was so that Severus and Harry would be forced to spend time together in a desperate situation. Desperation tends to reveal a person's true character.
I have never seen her as a good character. I think we all hated her more than Voldemort. I find it ironic that you're talking about inventing a time machine, considering the direction the story will go soon.

- Severus playfully shoving Harry was priceless.They really are getting much closer together and developing a proper father son relationship. Harry's uncertainty and them huddling together for warmth is a very sweat image.
And now the time turner comes up. What is Ron up to? Whatever it is, I have a feeling it won't be good. Will he go back in time and try to harm Harry? The suspense and the ongoing mystery is simply brilliant!
Author's Response:
I know it's sweet; that's why I put it in. <3 The whole "trapped in the dungeon" thing was so that they could be in a desparate situation together.
Oh Ron...something like that.

- Severus idea of making Harry hurt him was cruel but effective. Now he'll hopefully think twice before hurting himself again.
Ron is missing! And all Dumbledore can do is blame the Weasleys! The man put a child in danger and he dares to accuse the Weasleys! Its odd though how he seems to see right through Ron's feelings. Is he just trying to hurt the Weasley as he hurt Snape and Harry or could he actually be right. It looks like he understands Ron more than Harry or Severus.
Author's Response:
Severus' idea is one I've been waiting to put into effect with any friend of mine who presents the correct oppotunity.
Yes, Dumbledore is very in tune to Ron's feelings. There is a reason for this...

- Oh no! Did Dumbledore hurt Ron in some way and fake this letter so that Hermione wouldn't suspect anything?
That charm of fixing the sounds would really come in handy! Harry should have been more excited about it. I know I would be if I were invited to listen to music with Snape!
Author's Response:
Dumbledore did write the letter, but it's not because Dumbledore hurt Ron in some way! :)
I was going to write a scene about listening to music with Snape and then I forgot it. >_< I was really ticked off when I realized I'd gone too far to insert it. So it's just going to have to end up in a different story I suppose. It was something of a humorous scene anyway.

- Harry finally knows! It must be scary to know that you hallucinate. If you can't trust tour own mind who can you trust? This must have been a heavy blow for Harry but he handled it well. I'm glad that he decided not to take it out on Snape!
Author's Response: Yeah...I sometimes hallucinate with migraines, so that's where that came from. I never remember my hallucinations consciously, but people around me will say that I've been hallucinating after I come out of it. They're people I trust, so I assume they're right, and since I know there's a gap of time missing, so it's plausible.

- Ah! Finally I get a chance to continue reading your story. I've almost forgot ton how good your writing is! The emotional connection between Harry and Snape is priceless.
Your idea of using the migrain as a way for suppressed memories to resurface is intriguing. It gives more information on how the magic of this works works. Will poor Snape ever get his memories back?
"Forgive me my sins." I love the Truth Beneath the Rose reference! I hope that Hermione and Harry patch things up in the upcoming chapters. For me, their friendship is one of the best aspects of the book.
Author's Response:
I'm sorry I haven't gotten to replying to your email! I've been doing homework, spending time with a close friend, and now writing the first chapter to a new story idea! Yes, it will be posted here shortly, hopefully.
No, Snape will never get his memories back. :( Hahahahaha, yes, yes, that was a Within Temptation reference!!!! You earn a gold star for being the first one to catch that. And yes, Harry and Hermione will patch things up. :)

- What?! Ron is Dumbledore! How? What? Where? Wa...?
Remember that bucket of cold water hanging over my head? It just tipped over and I got drenched. Then the whole bloody bucket fell down and hit me on the head and now I'm seeing stars! Ron is Dumbledore! That is brilliant! Original, unexpected, amazing and just plain fantastic. So Ron was the one who was ruining their lives all along. The bloody git! I wish he was real just so I could walk right up to him and punch him in the face! So that's why Dumbledore seemed so understanding of Ron. Eureka! Everything makes sense. The time turner, the grudge against Harry and Snape. Brilliant!
It's completely okay that you didn't respond yet! I also took ages to write back when I was doing my exam. I'm just glad you weren't too creeped out by the email to respond. (Like my mom!)
Author's Response:
I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR UMBRELLA HANDY.
Oh, I wasn't creeped out. I think we're not as easily scared on this side of the pond, generally. Probably because there aren't many haunted places in this country.

- Dumbledore didn't change history. He just caused history to happen! It looks like the high and mighty Albums Dumbledore doesn't know everything after all. Speaking of omniscience, Dumbledore doesn't know the future now! He can't meddle any more in people's lives now that he is as ignorant of the future as anyone else. Hopefully the idiot will leave Snape and Harry alone now. I love how you explained everything, filling in theast plot holes.
My umbrella? That was an epic fail! I had it in my hand when I was reading but then you went, "RON IS DUMBLEDORE", and my umbrella, not to mention my poor jaw, dropped to the floor!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you like how that happened! :D I think you answered your own speculation by calling him an idiot though!
Hey, I gave you plenty of clues! You could have figured it out! ;)

- Albus/Ron is a threat to Harry's life! I definitely didn't see that coming! He's getting more and more evil by the chapter. Although, as Severus pointed out, since he meddled with time so much his complete lack of morals might also be a result of misusing magic.
I've been looking forward to the moment when Snape found out about Ron and you handled that very well in this chapter. Even in this emergency, his Slytherin mind kicked in and took control of the situation by using cold logic and causion. Definitely in charater.
The sight of the normally proper Severus swearing is epic. It shows just how much he is shocked by the events that are unfolding. Poor Harry and Severus, they've been through so much and now they even have an insane headmaster out to kill them!
Author's Response: Yeah, pretty much all of Ronbledore's evilness comes from the insanity of meddling with time. I'm glad you think I kept Snape in character! It's always so hard with him.

- Minerva and Ton Riddle! That's definitely something I've never heard before. Every time I click a chapter something completely unexpected happens. Your plot twists are incredibly creative and original!
Oh, the alternate reality idea is fascinating. Canon Snape and your Snape's lives both existing in different parallel universes! Well, it looks like Severus's observations on alternate universes are accurate after all!
Minerva's comment about only worrying about their dimension reminded me of a Lord of the Rings Quote: "All we have to do decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Oh my gosh! Is Severus the son of the Dark Lord and Minerva? Does the Dark Lord know? I can't wait to find out where this is going.
So Dumbledore really did try to kill his potions master! That idiot! How the heck are Severus and Harry going to protect themselves from someone as powerful as Albus?
Author's Response:
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Your umbrella is totally useless. *evil laugh* I actually used that LOTR quote in a different story. Snape told it to Harry, and Harry called him out on quoting Gandalf, and Snape said that maybe Gandalf was right.
Yes, Severus is their son, and yes, the Dark Lord knows. :P
Who said they are going to protect themselves? ;) No one said it was a happy ending. :/
