Reviews by ARim

Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Auror Harry Potter is on a raid when he comes across a wizard long thought to be dead. A wizard that, if truly alive, would surely be killed the moment his identity is revealed. Which puts Harry in a bit of a bind.

    Oh,heavens - such a cliffie.
    Hanging, waiting, reading this in my chair - I ought to plant salad seedlings while it is warm outside, and putter and garden.... but. You write too well, drat.
    When will you save our Prof. and me from a slight heartburn?`
    Write on , please, and have a good summer. Thank you.
    A delighted and not so gentle reader

Harry finds himself having to unravel a mystery across time when he is forced to spend the summer with his Potions Master and Snape's estranged family. Who is the boy Harry keeps meeting at unexpected moments and why is it that Snape suddenly starts to develop some slightly more human qualities as the two slowly come to understand one another?

    HelLO,
    Brilliant story!
    Where are you?
    Dude, I'm reviewing and you're not updating.
    I really like the geography, the plot twists, the mysteries of time clashing together and the unwilling concern our two 'best mates' are unfolding for each other.
    The only good thing about this horrendous epidemic is that the self-isolating some of us can choose to do, -in order to release the pressure on our brave nurses, and doctors and Unbuilt hospital beds, -is that it gives us time to be with our family and perhaps?
    write a little more and read a lot more fanfics. Hint?
    Take care, be safe, best wishes to all us Harry and Severus Snape- adorers.

    Author's Response: I am still here! I do want to complete this story, and intend on updating when I am able to do so. Life has been a little busy, but, as you say, in this strange and terrible time, what better distraction can there be than a little bit of escapism through writing. I am already halfway through the next chapter!

Severus Snape never wanted to be an Animagus and the only upside to his utterly useless animagus form is that he gets to tell Albus Dumbledore "I told you so."

However, when Harry Potter foolishly ingests a confectionary offered to him by Fred Weasley, Severus has to employ any and all means at his disposal to avert a disaster.

    I say, Severus Rooster really does live in drama. Can't even sunbathe without being jumped on by mini-torturers and 'tattooed' by a sour owl.
    Hermy ( -Thanks, Caeria and 'Pet Project') -doesn't relax me either. Harry shows his true gentle nature, and they do need this chat on the dorm duvet.
    Will Severus change 'his plumage' about Harry? I hope so. He should. Severus needs a break and a true friend just as much as Harry- Sirius is too immature. Correct, yay for Ron's common sense -( FriendlyQuarks 'A Terrible Temptation' shows Sev change to a teen and Ron being a real friend. It is on the The WIKTT Archives)
    I adore this story and wish for many, Many chapters. I keep remembering the rooster 'Foghorn Leghorn' from Merrie Melodies. Sev is more quiet,witty. dignified and dangerous. A colourful plot. BRAVO.

    Author's Response: Thank you! Severus is in the process of changing his opinions, but it takes time. :)

Halloween must’ve had a hit list. ‘Who can we screw with today? Excellent idea, Fate, our old favorite: Harry Potter.’

Not even having a Godfather in Snape could stop the evil from conspiring against him.

    Lovely and warm - just right for a New Year....

Severus Snape just wanted to enjoy a brief respite over the Christmas Holidays away from students...maybe catch up on his potions journals or lose himself in brewing, but Petunia Dursley showed up on his doorstep with a cat and that all changed.

    Such a lovely cat and bat story.
    Sorry , couldn't resist... Just read FangsFawn's classic 'In Care Of'
    on ffnet. Superb. Wept happily.

    Please take up this cat- theme again some time, if you'd like to. I would gladly read it - adore animal-SS or HP.
    Ps. Valïance = courage, bravery.
    (arch.)
    Valance = bed curtain or fabric
    over a window to
    screen the curtain fittings.
    (North American dialect)
    Best wishes to you and yours for a
    delightful spring;
    and please stay safe in these terrible
    times.
    Thank you so much for writing.

    Author's Response:

    Thanks for reviewing! I wanted to write more, but then ran out of time.

     I think I knew it was valance, but writing at 3am will mess with your mind. Thanks for pointing it out! 


Harry finds the book from the fifth year of the Half Blood Prince, and there's a co-author to it. He will discover who is the Half Blood Prince at all costs.

After a few spells from his time at Hogwarts make a comeback, Severus Snape tries to reveal who exactly has his old book.

Dolores Umbridge sees that once again, Harry Potter makes a mess at her school. She will find his mysterious partner, one Half Blood Prince, and punish him.

Who will succeed on his quest?

    I agree with other the other reviews. this is brilliantly written and imagined. Thank you for all the looking in a dictionary and translating latin. Yes, you really need a Beta; just to change the glaring tenses and half finished sentences, not your wonderful style. You have caught Luna in flights of fancy and Snape in wit. I wish you would give us more of the quotes from the H.B.Prince.
    I felt sadness when he wept, in his recognising the son in the mother's sound. Dear Snape. Loved his swift defense of Harry in the class. and his attentiveness to his pupils.
    I wish you hadn't burned the H.B. Prince's book from year six -
    all those quotes gone up in smoke.
    Reading on with pleasure.
    Missing Alan Rickman so very much, yet glad I don't have to worry about how he would have dodged corona - he was in danger from it. Born on Febr. 21. 1946.
    Ever remembered with fondness.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your wonderful review. I have a beta (thanks to the lovely people in this site), and from now on I hope that I'll manage to exceed the limit that my grammar mistakes placed before me :P. You certainly will receive more quotes of HBP. I'm planning to merge them in the plot, but I think I'll even post another fic which is dedicated just for them, perhaps including Severus & Lily flashbacks. Alan Rickman was a good man, but at least we can take comfort that he doesn't need to fight CoViD. There are worst fates than death.

*COMPLETE* What if you could change your biggest regret? After a devastating event occurs, Snape from an alternate reality is given that chance, but ends up in the canon universe. Will he be able to gain back what he's lost while helping to save the wizarding world at the same time? AU post-OOTP, adopt/mentor, Sick!Harry,

    BRAVA. Well done. What a story.
    Thank you for giving it to us.
    I'm so happy Harry is cured and Snape is content. They both deserve to be.

    Thank you for writing this touching and suspenseful tale. I really enjoy it.
    Hm, would a highly intelligent scientist, as Professor Snape is, use 'anyways'?
    Isn't it very informal style and teenager-ish, and more American than British Received Pronunciation?
    But, please keeping writing more in this wonderful universe that you created.

During the 19th century London, Harry Potter falls down the chimney of the apothecary of one Professor Severus Snape; bringing with him dire inconveniences.

But not every family is found in blood, and not every story follows the same path. For Harry, Snape and Draco, the truth has never been harsher.

A Severitus AU, one without magic. A/N: Slow edits.

    This is a delightful tale.
    You have a large chunk of text missing between Harry and Mr. Patel in the kitchen and, then, a scene break, making it difficult to understand. Where did Snape come from?
    What are they talking about? Explanation, please.
    Where did Harry and Mr. Patel disappear?
    Start of quote:
    "What?"
    " I don't know how else to explain it to you, Prof. Snape",said Prof. Patel.
    End of quote.
    It is a lovely and disjointed scene,
    clad in a fog from the days of Charles Dickens.
    Reading on.
    Thank you for keeping on writing.

    Author's Response: Thank you for your lovely comment, first of all. I truly appreciate it :) And I'm thrilled you're enjoying the story! Second, thank you for pointing that out. I've meant to put a line break to show that it's a new scene where Prof. Snape came to pick Harry up, but I must have forgotten. Its fixed now though ^^ Please feel free to share any other questions and comments!
