    Your pacing is great. This starts out serious, ends off lighter. Characters very much canon-like (as far as you can stretch Snape...) so it has a very believable feel to it.

    Is this a real recipe? You keep the water after its cooked and add some to the frying pan with the pasta and garlic?

Responding to JAWorley's Just Pretending Challenge:
Severus is in big trouble. He doesn't have any kids, but he's supposed to be bringing his son to Christmas to meet his family, who he's been estranged from for twelve or thirteen (or more) years. Harry ends up being that pretend son.

    Loving the story so far! Love the irony where Alfred decides he would fight for Harry...

    I really enjoyed reading this story! I liked the fact the Snape did not undergo any drastic changes in his relationships (that would be too fake). I look forward to reading your other works.

Blood, I have learnt, is thicker than water.

- The life of a fallen Prince, as remembered by the father he had never known.

    It's beautiful! The language and verse is poetic and lovely.

    Author's Response: Thank you for reading and commenting <3

After James Potter suffers an accident, Severus finds himself saddled with a sassy ten-year-old for an evening while Lily tends to her husband. It goes...better than he expected, actually.

    This was really sweet and authentic. The characterization is excellent and you have a very good balance of dialogue to storytelling.

Harry has gained an unexpected interest in potions, but that does not stop him from blowing cauldrons. To counter that, Harry throws himself headfirst in studying the theory. Ironically, he just keeps getting worse, and Harry can't figure out why.

Umbridge is another obstacle, as is Professor Snape.

Or is he?

    I forgot how much I enjoyed audiobooks!

    Author's Response: Yayyy! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's year six and Harry struggles with the visions he's inherited from Voldemort. Dumbledore is reaching the end of his time and needs to ensure someone will take care of Harry after the headmaster is gone. An incident in the Forbidden Forest where Snape must care for an injured Harry without using magic sets in motion far reaching changes in their lives and in the magical world.

Alternative Year Six story written originally from 2004-2005 under the username GreenGecko. Canonical (as much as possible) through OotP.

This is the 5th edition.

    I'm really enjoying this story so far! I'm finding it well written and well developed.
    Just a question - wouldn't the toilets be inside the tower?

    Author's Response:

    That's a good question. Back in 2005 one couldn't just ask AI powered google such things. So, my over-read about medieval castles brain was thinking that originally Hogwarts would have had an overhanging outdoor affair, at best, and most everyone would have used chamber pots emptied by the maid. So bathrooms would have been added much later as an afterthought, and since any bathroom would have been a wild luxury at that time, given the alternative was an outhouse or a chamber pot, having them anywhere inside would have been amazing. So they would have been positioned where the effluence could be easily piped to the moat (in this case, the lake). So, I was thinking, not in the common area of the house. Same problem by the way for the dungeons. Below lake level, no way to get the waste to flow to the lake, so those common rooms wouldn't either. I mean, other than magic. ;-) But architecturally, the castle seems like an ordinary castle.

    I'm sure I overthought it. But that was the thinking.
