Building Doors by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 191]
[COMPLETE] After Harry blows up Aunt Marge and catches the Knight Bus to Diagonalley, he decides to take charge of his life when he learns he’s being sent back to Four Privet Drive. Harry spends the summer turning life in Diagonalley on its head, trying not to worry about the murderer Sirius Black, and attempting to avoid Severus Snape. In the midst of this he finds himself embroiled in an intense legal battle against Albus Dumbledore to decide his future. For the first time his fate rests solely in his own hands, and depend on the decisions he finds himself being forced to make. Harry wishes he could just be a thirteen year old boy, and begins to wonder if he’ll ever have the childhood he desires the most. Some of the warnings listed just as a precaution for things mentioned or alluded to.

    I really, REALLY want to know what Severus is thinking!

    Hmm, if Draco is a... pain... would Harry be able to bar him Diagon Alley? That'd be hilarious.

    Well, Snape's opinion sure hasn't changed any. What on Earth will it take?

Title: Chapter 15: Harry's Guardian 07 Jun 2019

    I'm really glad that Harry is continuing being independent (even if to a somewhat lesser extent) even though he now has proper guardians. I'd be disappointed if he shrugged his shoulders at his business ventures (and obligations) just because he hadn't attained early majority.

    I also like reading about Harry's and Dumbledore's relationship, not just Harry and Severus'.

    Excited to see what happens next!

The Intercourse of Kinbote and Shade by Timorous starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 29]

    I'm glad that Harry is aware of Severus' phoniness, and aware that he is a horcrux... he's still like a lamb being led to the slaughter, but at least he is knowledgeable about where he is going and why. That... sorta... makes it better?

Reviewer: bootstring (Signed)
    I wonder if Severus will eventually convince Harry to take Occlumency with him, and if he does what effect that will have on his impression of Harry.


    I'm not liking Dumbledore very much right now, there's no way he doesn't know Harry is being abused, at school and at home.

    I have a feeling that Snape's duplicity is going to wind up crushing both him and Harry, but maybe not, maybe something will intervene. Here's hoping!

Fair and Foul by Lemon Curd starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 53]
Ginny's is not the only valentine Harry gets. After eating the chocolate gifted to him by an anonymous admirer, Harry realizes he is very much in love with none other than the handsome Gildery Lockhart. But will Gilderoy love him back? Why is Hermione suddenly in love with Snape? And who is the mysterious blonde beauty Snape has been seen with? (Warning: Mention of rape. But no worries, it is not overly dark, and no inappropriate relationships between students and teachers actually happen.)

    Good on Hermione, that was fast thinking.

    Author's Response: Thank you! I was worried it might not be obvious enough that Hermione is just trying to get Harry to get help, glad it works! :)

Non Solum by waitingondaisies starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 164]
Severus Snape was discovered as a spy mere days before the start of the school year. Thankfully, Albus had been working on a vague contingency plan for this possibility. It had been inspired by the question, “What would it take for Severus Snape to see that he was wrong about Harry Potter?”

The answer? Force Severus to go undercover as Alfonse “Eli” Hopkirk, a sixth year Gryffindor.

    For a moment, I thought for sure that the Marauder's Map would give Snape away.

    Can't wait to see how Snape reacts when he learns that Harry isn't how he's always assumed!

    Author's Response: Oh no he's not getting off the hook that easily! And he's still got a bit to go before he figures that out, but he's getting there!

    "Eli" sure is lucky that not everyone carries grudges the way he does!

    Author's Response: he sure is!!! thank you for the comment <3

    Hmm, maybe McGonagall's tactic will finally teach Snape a little empathy.

    Author's Response: oh it won't be that simple, but he will get there!
