When he learns about the Dursleys, Dumbledore forces Snape to adopt Harry. Harry is frightened knowing that Snape and his father were rivals in school, but things are even worse than he had imagined. As Harry learns of the real connection between Snape and his father, the line between good and evil starts to blur. What will Harry do when he learns about how the death eaters started and he finds himself sympathizing with them? Will Snape overcome his horrendous past and give Harry love and support as his world view crumbles around him?

    Wonderful chapter... Perfect summing up of psychology of characters

    Author's Response: Thanks. I enjoy hacking into the characters' minds.

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.

    Author's Response: I shall! It's just very slow going. But it's going.

But despite Gryffindor beliefs, Snape does have a heart. Can the two find happiness and family? Of course, it's not a smooth ride. De-aged!Harry

Reviewer: SHallow (Signed)
    I would rather you don't deage him, and let the story continue from where it is... it poses more of a challenge to build a relationship without the baby factor, but it will make it a lot better. (My opinion, you are the writer so its really up to u)

Snape puts Harry under a magical leash to keep him out of trouble. But unbeknown to him, Harry has been turned into a vampire, and the leash is causing far more harm than good. Terrified of losing his friends, Harry would rather starve than risk the truth coming out.

Title: Chapter 16: Safe 26 Apr 2015
Reviewer: SHallow (Signed)
    As good as the entire story has been I wonder if you slacked in this chapter. In a way it beats a lot of what I have read till now; but I think you could do way better. Best of Luck in the next chapter.

    Author's Response: In what way do you think I slacked?

Title: Chapter 16: Safe 27 Apr 2015
Reviewer: SHallow (Signed)
    You slacked only because of the lack of detail... Its not much, but it made the whole thing lose its high appeal... I am looking forward to the next chapter. Keep writing, you are really good. I suppose I am just disappointed at the lack of activity in this chapter unlike the previous ones... don't mind me.

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Finding Family 21 Sep 2015
Reviewer: SHallow (Signed)
    This story needs a lot more work.... It has a fair train of thought, but it is not up to par by my reckonings

    Author's Response:

    As this story was adopted from someone else, I agree that the first chapter was rough around the edges. I'm sorry it was not to your standards, but I do appreciate that you took the time and at least read a chapter. The next chapters I did put my spin on them, but I completely understand if you do not want to give it any more of your time.

    Thank you for taking the time to give my story a chance. I hope that this one story will not dissuade you from reading my other stories.

Reviewer: SHallow (Signed)
    As per your request, I read till this chapter. I apologize for being rash, but the beginning does need a lot of work. This chapter displayed the verbose and emotive flow of thought far better than the first. Please accept my apologies, I know how hard it is to write when one has lost a close someone or something ; and this attempt has shown your strength in the face of adversity. I did try some of your other works, although I have not reviewed any, they are very good. Keep writing, it is a known cure to depression. I will watch out for the next chapter.

    Author's Response:

    I graciously accept your apology, though it was not needed. I respect anyone's opinion. I am glad that you gave this story another look. I will let you in on a secret; it was very hard to read the original. But looking pass the flaws of it, I saw a good story behind it. That's why I asked to adopt the story.

    Please know that I respected your opinion as you came at with respect. I have had reviews that was just harsh and mean and those hurt, but what you did didn't do that and I thank you for that. I am honored that you are looking at my other stories and I hope that you will give me you HONEST opinion if and when you do leave a review. 

    Thank you for your kind words. For losing someone is hard, losing 4 loved ones in 6 months is gut wrenchingly heartache. I will continue on with this story as well as my other ones. Have a wonderful day/evening/night. :)

    Many thanks

    Amanda
