    Wow!! Fantastic chapter!! Severus did a really good job of talking with Hermione and Ron, even though Ron was being a bit of a prat, and he managed to convey the awfulness of Harry's experience without getting too horribly graphic - I'm glad Ron redeemed himself by stopping Hermione's inquisition, and I hope that Harry will be able to go to school without too much trauma!!
    I'm very much looking forward to the sequel - I'm not sure if because Lucius is disowned if that affects Draco's position in the Wizarding World or if he's banished his father too. Either way, I imagine that we'll be in for some major fireworks over the events of the summer, or maybe Draco will see how his father's been repaid for his loyalty to Voldemort and decide to change sides - I can hope?!

    OMG!! Yaaay!! I'm so glad that Draco's not a complete @ss like his father and that Harry is trying to see beyond his hatred of Lucius and give Draco a second chance!! I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a trick - Harry is so cautious, especially after his kidnapping, that it would be devastating to have his tentative overtures to Draco come back to bite him!!
    This was a fantastic story and I've really really enjoyed it (well, not the torture so much!) and I'm very much looking forward to seeing how Harry gets along this year - I love the solution Severus has come up with for Harry, and I'm wondering how long Harry will be needing to use it for, and if he can ever get back to attending classes as usual!!
    Thank you again for sharing this great story with us!!

    Author's Response:

    Hi Scarlett,  Thanks for the review!  Many of your questions (okay, all of them) will be answered in the sequel, which will prominently figure Draco, in all his, uh, glory, and the further ramifications of Snape's leaving the DEs, as well as more healing for Harry, and how he deals with his friends now.  I should have the first chapter to the sequel out in a week or two, though I'm still in search of a title . . .  :-)


As a first year, Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, and no one is more surprised than his new Head of House.

    Dumbledore is a D*ck!! Hopefully though, Severus can use Dumbledore's D*ckishness to save Harry from having to go back to the Dursleys!!
    Poor Harry!! He really doesn't think he deserves anything good in his life, does he? Severus will have his work cut out for him, I'm afraid, but if anyone has the stubbornness needed to work on Harry's self-esteem it's Severus!!
    Terrific chapter, as always!!

    Fantastic premise!! I can't wait to see where you go with this!!

    Umm.... I'm also reading your other story "Walk the Shadows" which I haven't reviewed yet (sorry!) but I really love it - I cried for Harry and I hope Severus can get through to him and help him!!

    OMG!!
    Poor Little Harry!! I hope Snape doesn't pick on him too much, and that he makes Draco and Teddy and his other year-mates are friendly - Zabini needs to be smacked, and so does Ron!! Awesome chapter!!

Reviewer: ScarlettPendragon (Signed)
    Oh PLEASE have Snape begin to understand Harry's problems and help him instead of tormenting him, PLEASE!!

    Great chapter though, and I'm hoping that the Slytherins do something about Harry's Weasley Problem soon too, since Ron's being such a Prat!!

    Thank you,
    Scarlett

    Yes!! Go Poppy - she knows that Severus has a huge blind (rage) spot where Potters are concerned (and why!), so I'm glad she's helped start a fire under him with regards to Harry's situation!! I'm hoping that the Dursleys' are in for a major Snape!Smiting!!

    Poor Harry's being so brave, but he really does need someone in his corner!!

    Great Chapter!! I'm looking forward to the next update, where I'm sure Severus will get his eyes opened!!

    Oh Poor Harry!! It must have been very hard for him to submit to that exam thinking that no good would come of it, and that he's far more likely to get into severe trouble with the Dursleys should Child Wizarding Services show up in Surrey!! He was very brave!!

    Now I'm hoping Severus can look past his Potter-hatred and see what's going on with Harry and kick some Dursley butt!!

    Great chapter - very well done, and you really conveyed Harry's sense of panic and dread and anger!!

    OMG!! What did the Bloody Baron DO to poor Harry?! Or was it even the Bloody Baron at all - maybe someone else Confunded Harry, and made him think it was the ghost!!

    I do hope it's not one of his fellow Slytherins!! It would be too awful if Harry couldn't even be safe in his own House!!

    Although I can't wait to see Severus dole out some well-deserved punishment to the miscreants!!

    Terrific Chapter - and I'm on the edge of my seat for more!!

    Yes!! I am soooo glad that Severus has reassured Harry that he won't be the one to pay (for once!) if (when) the Dursleys turn nasty!!

    And now Severus can see the problems Harry's been having, and I'm hoping he's going to do something about them!!

    I love your Harry - he's such a brave little guy, he's been through so much but he's still trying to do the best he can!!

    Thanks for a terrific chapter!!
    Scarlett
