Thirteen-year-old Harry is forced into the body of another Harry in a parallel world, where Snape adopted him years ago. And Snape is enraged to discover that his son has been replaced by a stranger. In our world, Snape discovers a new Harry--one who sees him as a father he never wanted to be. Each Harry must learn to survive in a strange new world, and search for a way home.

    Wooo, wonderful chapter! Please update soon. I'm finding your story more and more delightful each time.

    Author's Response:

    I appreciate the kind words!  Definitely more soon.

    Oh, this chapter was brilliant! I don't even know what to say, except why don't you have more stories, amazing as you are? Harry is wonderfully in character (canon), and Snape is just...ah, I love this! Please update soon!

    Author's Response:

    Such kind words are motivating me to write more, so perhaps there are additional fics in my future. 

     

    Many thanks!

    This chapter was absolute magic. I am enjoying your story so much. Beautifully written. "I like beans on toast" - wonderful. You've got a completely human, canon character of Snape and that's terribly difficult to accomplish. Well done.

    Author's Response: Beans on toast seems like definite bachelor chow.  :)  Thanks for the kudos!  I think Snape is second only to the Malfoys in the list of characters who are difficult to keep in canon and keep human.  I mostly draw on my own repressed, bitter nature.  ;)


When Severus adopted 6 year old Harry Potter, he vowed that Harry would never know the abuse he had suffered as a child. But what happens when Severus is attacked and falls into a coma and the Ministry decides to turn Harry over to his next of kin—Tobias Snape! Will Harry survive?

Reviewer: SiriuslyMental (Signed)
    Aww, I have tears in my eyes! Definitely your best chapter yet! Lovely!

    ((Though, principal = Headmaster)

    Author's Response: Thanks! Though I wasn't sure if they used the same term in public school over in Britain, or if that was just for private ones, like it is back in the US.  I can go back and fix it though, if you're sure.

Reviewer: SiriuslyMental (Signed)
    Harry is too cute. He reminds me forcibly of my own seven year old brother. I love the Snape bonding here! It's refreshing to see a story where Tobias starts bad but grows into a relatively caring grandfather and father. I'm charmed. Updates! You update so quickly it puts the rest of us to shame haha. No idea how you do it, but bravo.

    And yeah, I am 100% positive that principal is a purely American thing. They are never principals in the UK, just Headmasters and Headmistresses.

    Author's Response:

    This harry is based upon several of my nephews when they were that age--they are all much older now, but I still remember most of what they did and how they acted, since I used to watch them nearly every day.  And I like this Tobias better than my original idea, which was to have be the typical nasty abusive man. 

    And my updates....I write very very quickly, and don't ask me how I do it, either, but once I have something in my head it won't let me go until I'm done.  And I can translate my ideas into words and scenes very easily, it's very weird, I can't really explain it, but once I sit down and start writing, I see an image in my head and somehow I know how to write it.  I write at night, usually, and I can type somewhere around 350 WPM, so that helps too.  People ask me all the time, how did you do that so fast? I don't know, I just do.

    And thanks for the tip about the Headmaster, I'll fix it in the chapter! :)

Reviewer: SiriuslyMental (Signed)
    Wooo! I love each and every one of your chapters. They're great and Harry is adorable. This was an exciting one!

    Haha, though, no real Italian people use capice at the end of sentences like the Americans portray them as doing. ;)

    Author's Response: Yeah, I know, but I put it in there because it was funny! Glad you liked it and I've just posted a new chapter too!

Small decisions can change canon events. One small decision can change the fate of not only a small boy, but also an entire world. Fusion with Forever Knight. Minimal mentions of past child abuse/neglect. Complete AU, Pre-Hogwarts through Hogwarts years. No slash.

    I never like vampire stories, and yet this one is just too cool! I'm impressed, and I want to read more. Harry is adorable, Nicolas is intriguing - update soon, please! Your story is original and fascinating, and I can't believe I like a story with vampires in it this much, but I do! And I've only read the first chapter!

    ((One thing - Grandpère, not grandpére haha. If you ever need help with anything French - culture or language - give me a ring. I'd be pleased to.))

    Author's Response: Thank you!  Forever Knight really is in a league of its own.  I'm just borrowing their characters.  Thanks for the correction.  :) It's been a while since my last French class, and there my teacher told us to mark the accents in the middle and make everybody guess which ones you mean. Now if I can just remember the right number to hit after Alt....

Title: Chapter 2: Best Laid Plans 15 May 2008
Reviewer: SiriuslyMental (Signed)
    Awww, this story is wonderful. I'm really anticipating older Harry. Just lovely.

    One small thing -

    Je suis faim means "I am hunger".
    J'ai faim = I am hungry (I have hunger).

    Author's Response: Thanks.  Will fix that.  :)

There are many forms of vengeance. It can be just as satisfying to return cruelty with kindness as to return cruelty with equal cruelty...and sometimes it can be more dangerous and more insidious to do so. Faced with an eleven-year-old Harry Potter, Severus Snape has a decision to make: How does he like his vengeance?

    Aw, once again you've done brilliantly. I'm really loving the way you take this - you capture Harry's cluelessness perfectly. Unlike many authors who tend to portray Harry as either a complete airhead or far too Slytherin to be considered canon, you've somehow managed to transport canon Harry into an entirely non-canon situation and it's wonderfully impressive. Can't wait to see more.

    Author's Response: Yes, that kind of thing has always bothered me a little...especially stories in which Harry is sorted into Slytherin and is all of a sudden an evil vindictive creep. People tend to forget, I think, how close Harry was to being in Slytherin...and that was WITHOUT displaying any of those kinds of traits. There is something in Harry's character that fits perfectly in Slytherin without him changing a thing. I hope you continue to enjoy it. I was really sick for a few days and was then subsequently swamped with work, so the next chapter has taken a while. It should be up in the next few days though. :)
