Blue Moon Waning by Magica Draconia starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 6]
A Wizarding blue moon was normally a once-in-a-lifetime event. Of course Harry's life has never been normal. Last in the Blue Moon series.

    At least it was a peaceful way to go, and he saw at least one of his loved ones again.

Searching for Answers by thegoldenfirebolt starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 14]
Something has been found on the Hogwarts Express which shouldn't be brought into a school. What will the Professors do about it? And how do they work out who it belongs to?

    Umbridge: the nastiest creature of them all: a pink toadie. It will be interesting to see Snape's interaction with Harry, now that he's pretty much seen 'essence of Harry Potter' being not near as gold gilt as he assumed it to be. After all, a man's possessions can say quite a few things about him. Even the pile of trash that Snape was kind enough to vanish. It wasn't just the candy wrappers and detritus that is in most other students trunks. There was also actual food that he had squirreled away. "Normal" students don't pack away food when they know when their next meal is. "Normal" students don't ball up their incriminating blood-stained clothes. "Normal" students have clothes that fit that isn't just the school uniform.

Carcass by Merope_Malfoy starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 45]
In the summer before his sixth year, Harry ventures outside the blood wards and is abducted by Death Eaters. After three weeks of torture in Voldemort's secret headquarters, he is rescued by the Order, but when he wakes up in the hospital wing, he is no longer the same boy. Will an unlikely connection with his draconian Potions Professor help him overcome his demons?

Title: Chapter 2: Lily 24 Feb 2017
Reviewer: Dark Inu Fan (Signed)
    Well, that backfired. Problem with psychological warfare is that even the most mundane things can become hair triggers. Like the trigger, while caused by his mother's photo, could simply be red hair and all of tom's ginger victims. Or, more likely, the long forced loop of That Night. All Lily has (unfortunately) ever been was the first death Harry has been surrounded by. One of too many.

    Author's Response:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to review! 

     It's true, even the most mundane things can become triggers in such cases. However, without giving too much away, it wasn't merely Lily's hair that made Harry react like that. Of course, it did play a part, but if Harry were to see Ginny or Ron, he would not have the same reaction. Lily plays a much bigger part in all of this. I think chapter three will make that clear.

    Thanks again,

    Merope :)  


Seasons of Love by Stump_Pan starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 71]
How different would things be if Snape went to pick up Harry instead of Hagrid?

    I like this Snape. He is actually taking his vow of protection seriously instead of the barely-there version from the books.

    Author's Response: Thank you, I like writing this version of Snape. Here he can see past Harry's look and remember this is Lily's son. Sadly, that something canon Sev never figured out how to do. Thanks for reviewing. 

MINDSCAPE - The Healing Journey by chrmisha starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 176]
When an Occlumency lesson goes wrong, Snape learns more about Harry’s past than he ever wanted to—and it changes everything. But change doesn’t come easily, especially for two who have spent five years loathing each other’s very existence. Can Snape and Harry come to a mutual understanding of sorts to defeat their greatest enemy—themselves? Spring of 5th year, A/U. Completely written and posted in chapter installments.

    After a session like that, not only am I worried about his mental state, but the state of his mind as well. Damage to the head like that, you never really recover 'normal' after that. I'm sure that potions and magic can do so many more things than muggle medicine can, but even then there is a limit to its abilities. Harry will need help. And not just the psychology angle of things. That his grades were that good without specialized care is actually a minor miracle in itself. When (not if!) he wakes up, he may have to relearn some things- probably basic things- before going back to regular classes. One thing for sure, they now have a case of attempted murder against the Dursleys now.

    If Harry has to go back over the summer, even if it is just the two weeks,that could set this whole healing process back to the beginning. And if the magical world isn't going to do anything, the therapists are legally obligated to send in a report about the 'suspected' abuse.

Potions Prodigy by watercrystals starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 45]
When Harry arrived at Hogwarts, no one expected Professor Snape to be his favourite teacher – no one, except the mysteriously familiar witch teaching DADA.

AU. Romance tag is for Lily/Severus, but isn't relevant until later in the story.

Reviewer: Dark Inu Fan (Signed)
    Harry being able to answer two of the questions definitely knocked Severus off-balance a bit there. Now, to see if the man will keep looking at the boy closer instead off just dismissing him as 'James clone'.

    Author's Response:

    It sure did! And indeed, that's yet to be seen...However, Lily's not just going to be watching from the sidelines so I'm not sure how much choice Sev is going to have regarding to seeing Harry differently ;)

    Thanks for the review!

    I think that Harry's love of potions is just so not-James that it throws those not in the know off. And those in the know... likely do see a reflection of his father in him.

Hogwarts Herself by lastcrazyhorn starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 16]
“You aren’t afraid of me. Why?” He asked, head cocked to the side as he openly studied Harry.

Harry’s smile was brilliant.

“Because you aren’t scary.”

    Oh I would love to see this one continue, but it's still precious as-is. I have to wonder, how many times Harry has reached out like this, only to be turned away.

    Author's Response: Ooh, good thought!

The Great Exchange by JAWorley starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 75]
Hogwarts has enacted a house-exchange program in the interest of increasing inter-house unity and understanding. Students fourth year and up can visit other houses for two weeks if they sign up. Harry has a morbid curiosity about what it might have been like to be sorted into Slytherin.
In Response to the House Exchange Program prompt by JAWorley.

Title: Chapter 4: The Ambitious House Of Slytherin 16 Dec 2017
Reviewer: Dark Inu Fan (Signed)
    I was worried that you'd stop this after the four houses, but I am very glad to see you continue. Especially, I want to see just how the relationship between Snape and Harry has changed since he finally got to speak his part. Because Snape's pride won't let this new knowledge go just because the boy is no longer under his direct purview. This is definitely one of those times where Snape would have to pull In Loco Parentis over normally asking a student's guardians and get the poor boy some clothes that fit. (Yeah, I totally understand making him pay for them, but the chance to actually go to Gringotts and then to Diagon or Hogsmeade (Or, hell, even the closest muggle town, because the UK has more than London.) is worth it)
