- Oh my god, you had me in tears a few times! Not the standard hurt/comfort fic, especially with Snape force-feeding Harry :) I absolutely loved that bit! I also love that your portrayal of Harry as an abused child is an ongoing issue. Many writers have him unsure and afraid, than a few chapters later all is well and he's 'cured' without a care in the world. Abuse is for life. It does get better, but it never goes away. Thank you, and I'm eagerly waiting for your next wonderful update!!
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH.

- Like a fine wine, it's getting better as you go along! I really like that you're getting Snape and Harry together and they'll maybe figure out that the other isn't the antichrist. Though I would pay substantial money to hear/watch Snape sing!
Author's Response:
Like fine wine! Yay! I must say, I have had an overwhelming request this round of reviews to either hear or not hear Snape sing. Haha!
Thanks for the review!
It's a One Shot that takes Harry and Snape's first Occlumency lesson in another direction.

- was that almost... caring from evil Snape? poor Harry, now he'll be so confused :)
Snape and Harry are locked in the Room of Requirement by Dumbledore. Harry's magic works, and Snape's doesn't. Will they kill each other? In response to the 72-Hour Challenge.

- wow... you had my poor heart hurting for the boys. hope they both realize that no matter their differences they're feeling the same emotions and missing the same person... wonderful job, and I'm looking forward to reading more!
Harry is 7 years old and treated literally like a dog by the Dursleys. Will he be rescued by the wizarding world? Will he ever be fit to take on the mantle of The Boy Who Lived? Now Complete!

- Ooh, you do pick the cruelest places to stop a chapter! I'm really looking forward to the next chapter, and how poor Snape struggles to be a father :)
Author's Response: Thanks, Akblake! I know cliffies are mean, but I'm so used to reading them, and then writing them in my own work, that I'm sorta in the habit, you know? There'll be more fluffy bunny stuff coming up for father and son, no worries. --rachel
As a first year, Harry is sorted into Slytherin instead of Gryffindor, and no one is more surprised than his new Head of House.

- I was about ready to swat Snape for his attitude, but it looks like everything is coming about :) now he can't be so insufferable, especially if Harry wins the Quidditch match!

- Ooh, sign me up for a Snape hug!! And snarks are fine; I snark back lol.
You've got my curiosity piqued and I'm eagerly waiting to find out what's going on with the ghosts and Harry! Is Harry forming a version of the 'Gryffindor Trio' with Teddy and Millie?
After Snape's visit to Surrey, Harry writes a thank-you letter that triggers an extended correspondence and a tentative friendship between the two of them.

- Aww, I love snarky!snape but I think I'll have to go with polite!snape for the response (or leave two reviews lol!)
I am really enjoying your story, and it's been fascinating to see your writing style mature and evolve a bit from the first chapter on through to this one. You really have talent and I'm glad you're sharing it with us.
On to the review... I like how you've got Snape supportive without being a flag-waving member of the HP fanclub. Too many stories are ruined (in my view) by having snarky Snape mysteriously morphed into a cavorting mothering buffoon who wears his emotions on his sleeves. *That* would be Lockhart, not Snape. Your Snape is able to offer support and sympathy while keeping his core personality intact. Sadistic little me, though, is very much looking forward to putting Snape through Harry's dreams. I don't think Harry will be the only person to collapse afterwards (though in Snape's case it may be a breakdown instead!) :)
Anyway, great job and I'm willing to beg for more!!
Author's Response:
Madam: I would have replied sooner, but found myself paralyzed with astonishment by your acumen in discerning that I am no member of the "Harry Potter Fanclub."
That observation is nearly as flattering as the relish with which you seem to be anticipating my inevitable collapse from exhaustion once Potter has run the course of recovering from his mishap.
The fact that you seem to have a fair estimation of Gilderoy Lockhart's character raises you slightly in my esteem, however.
Regards, S. Snape

- Wonderful chapter. I love that you've given Luna's character life and a purpose. All too often she's a cardboard cutout in the background or only used for comic relief, but you've given her superb characterization! Will you keep her as a main character? I read so much about Hermione and Ron, but it's so refreshing to read Luna :)

- Well, as good as the characters are the author is the best part of any story. After all, without the author the characters wouldn't get to come out and play; so your answers to reviews are perfectly fine.
Thanks for the Long Chapter, it's a godsend for a slow day at work lol. I am really enjoying your reluctant Snape, and following his progress in learning how to care for another individual. Your Luna is still my favorite, and I'm hoping she's the one you'll pair Harry with. Harry is so mature for his age, and pairing him with Ginny has always felt wrong as she's only as mature as a (pre)teen can be. I don't think she has the courage and fortitude to handle the dangers in Harry's life. (and yes, I was hearing echoes of Captain Jack while typing that)
