- Ahem? This is not a completed story, not at all. So, why do I see a The End at the end of this chapter? I think there are some unresolved things, aren't there? What happened to them? The Death Eaters? Severus? The Dursleys or Harry? Miss Vesper? I really love her character though! Still, I am quite dissapointed.
Author's Response: My apologies for taking so long to respond to your review. I always appreciate feedback, and I'm sorry my story failed to fulfill your expectations. This story is finished; it was never intended to be a multi-chapter work, just a one-shot for Halloween. Also, I like to leave stories a bit "open ended", so my readers can speculate about what could possibly happen. Death Eaters? Where? I reread the story recently, and I didn't see any mention of them! But thanks for reading and taking the time to review. 😊

- I saw your response to my comment from 4 years ago and oof, wasn't I a rude little shit. It also prompted me to reread this story again and I absolutely LOVED it. I also now understand the ambiguity of one shots, especially considering that's all I ever seem to write. This actually ended in a great place. Especially with how the Harry Potter fandom seems to consist more of novel length fics than one shots. Still absolutely LOVE Vesper. She's SLIGHTLY off putting but that's something I love about her. And hoo man, taking in the Dursleys obsession with normalcy, one would think they'd refrain from violence in public. And I think that obliviate was too kind for them. I wanted them to suffer lmfao. But then again, if Harry had to return to them and they remembered this incident, it'd probably have made things worse for him. Just a slight confusion, I thought Dumbledore told Harry about the blood wards at the end of 5th year? After his spectacular break down in his office. Although creative license is allowed. Loved this, glad I could reread it again after so many years.
Author's Response: Hello!!! Good to hear from you! And after I dealt with a couple dozen reviews yesterday, I decided I'd better keep checking for new reviews, even if I'm not posting new stories! To be honest, I hadn't responded to your original review all those years ago because I didn't want to get into a "shouting match" (which I've seen happen between other readers & writers). I was not feeling good about your words or attitude, and I decided to wait a bit until I could handle my response more objectively. Well, I never intended to wait THIS ling, but my personal life has taken precedence over writing, and I let everything slide! However, if nothing else, the time away did allow me to distance my emotional reaction, so -- in the end -- I WAS able to respond without flying off the handle, so it all worked out. 😉 Thank you so much for giving"Moonscapes" a second chance! It was sort of an experiment for me, creating a non-Canon character (a vampire, at that), plus going out on a limb with the concept of the paintings themselves. Creative license is the name of the game in fan fiction, and while I've stayed fairly true to Canon timeline in most of my stories, when I'm in the act of writing, details can slip through the cracks. (I even contradicted my OWN plotline in "A Midwinter Night's Whimsy", as a couple of readers pointed out!) So, it is what it is: I put forth my offering, knowing and accepting that I can't be all things to all readers, and hoping that MOST of them will enjoy my efforts. Many, many thanks for rereading and rereviewing! Have a great day! And good luck with your own one-shots! (My fave thing about writing them is knowing that I've FINISHED a story! Which can prove to be a challenge with multi-chaps!!!) Have a great day!
Harry is the Boy-Who-Lived... again, and again, and again. Now he is back at Hogwarts for second year with strict instructions that it is time to get his life fixed. Poor Snape won’t know what’s hit him.

- To big a time skip, what happened at the duelling club? The polyjuice potion?

- okay..... Many things left unsaid, many gaps, but looks good. You still had Severus kill Dumbledore? Guess that's okay? No, it's not, but we will have to see it.

- Ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga!! I loved it, a new concept really, though there was no character development. I liked it, want more, but guess that is impossible? Anyway, thanks for sharing this story!
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?

- Its my second time reading this story, I love it.
How ironic, isn't it? Severus wanted Harry to learn Occlumency, badly. Somehow, god granted his wish, in a disturbing way. It just reinforces the fact about being careful what we wish for.

- I have a feeling that Snape won't like what he finds there. By the look of Harry, first thing he would find would be a mass of swirling thoughts, emotions and memories.
I won't like to go in for a walk...........

- Umm, oh. Err, isn't Harry acting like an idiot? Apologising for being homesick? Idiot, but I like him. *wink*
Will here be a sequel? What happened to Voldemort? It was a really nice story! Love you!
ABANDONED:- Five Slytherins, two Hufflepuffs, three Ravenclaws, and two Gryffindors including the Boy-Who-Lived – what do they have in common? Well, a snarky Potions Master, for one. After all, someone has to look out for abused kids at Hogwarts. Sometimes, it's each other.

- Huuummmmm. (That was a sigh, geddit?)
Okay, this was bloody brilliant. (Ron Style.)
Do you really think that incomplete and abandoned, though, clearly well written stories will attract you readers?*raises eyebrows* (Snape style.)
Please update!
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.

- Oh well, though the chapter didn't end in a cliffhanger, it left me unsatisfied but I can't blame you, of course, as this was even larger than the last one.
Snape is acting like Harry did with Cho, or even worse, he doesn't know what to do or how Harry is feeling. You said that Snape is going to talk with Harry, I am looking forward to that talk.
Ooooh, Harry is going to be one handsome lad, isn't he? Tall, green eyes, jet black hairs, now there aren't even glasses obscuring his beautiful jade eyes.
For a moment I had completely forgotten that they were in Harry's fifth year and Voldemort was still trying to get Harry to get the prophecy. I see that there is no Umbridge yet. What about the blood quill? Have you mentioned it? I guess I would have to reread the story?
I don't suppose Umbridge is going to keep quite.
Lets see what happens next.
Can you give me a small pattern in your posting? I am tired of checking my email or this story every single day.
Author's Response: I typically post chapters around every 3-4 days. But you can follow me, or this story, and then you will get an email when I post so you don't have to keep checking manually.
