- I really love this idea and your result is incredible. Thanks for writing & sharing.
Seven months after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wards protecting the school still have not been restored to their former strength.

- Love how well this shows the idea of house unity. Severus feels true to character as well, I can really picture this version of him if he survived the war. Particularly with requiring previous colleagues to work for his forgiveness and basically just being tired and done.
Author's Response:
Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm not an artist so I can't draw the herald, but I can picture it in my mind. I can't see Severus just forgiving his colleagues; he's spent a year defending himself from them.
Christmas is supposed to be a time of giving and caring, but nine-year-old Harry Potter knows the Dursleys will do whatever they can to make him miserable. After a terrible day at primary school, he doesn’t expect the evening at Number Four, Privet Drive to be any better, but perhaps it’s not too late for something good to happen.…

- Absolutely love this, your writing is amazing and so full of emotion. I felt cold with Harry as he sat outside the playground, winced as Harry was excessively punished by the school. But the best part was seeing Severus through Harry’s eyes. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but it felt true to Severus’ character as the story unfolded first from Sev just going to bring Harry home, then healing him and choosing to take him away from the Dursley’s “care”. Thanks for writing and sharing.
Author's Response: thanks so much for your wonderful comment! I'm glad this seemed so realistic, despite it being an au. Thanks for reading and reviewing, it means a lot!
"I know about Lily." said the girl. "That you loved her."
Severus froze mid-footfall. He felt as though he’d had the wind knocked out of him.
"She's my mum." her chin lifted, her eyes clear. "She wrote me that letter to tell me about you. You're the only person she really mentioned, but I guess that makes sense, since you're my father. Who else was she supposed to talk about?"

- This is wonderful and captivating. I could not stop once I began reading. I really love emotionally destructive Severus so much. I cannot even begin 5o describe how deeply your writing has made me feel throughout reading this.
I hope you are well. I also hope you plan to continue this wonderful work. But even if you don’t, thank you for writing and sharing this amazing piece. Definitely one of the better fics I have read recently.
Author's Response: Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review! I do plan on continuing, it's just so hard to find time to write these days!! Emotionally destructive Snape is SO fun to write, but it's even more fun to make him FEEL things, mwahaha!

- Ah that darkness is creepy. Definitely wondering what will happen at the game — if anything attacks Ariel while everyone’s distracted.
Also I really love that Ariel and Hermione are such great friends

- I love this chapter.
Kinda figured chaos would go down at the quidditch game, but did not expect the cursed bludger of death. Snape to the rescue! In the most dramatic way possible, of course. Which was fantastic.
But I also like the end where they are FINALLY having a real conversation. Loving that Ariel has a mental “Snape translation library”. That definitely made me laugh. The end is super intense too, definitely interested to see how Snape proves he actually cares. Hugs I’m guessing? Please tell me there will be hugs? (And not instead Dumbledore interrupting as revenge for Snape having his floo locked and closed....)

- Forgot to leave a rating on my review.....
Draco is always enthusiastic to spend the day with his uncle Sev, and he's extra excited when he gets to do so at Hogwarts this week. But only a few hours into the day and the headmaster visited the dungeons, bringing along an extra special "adventure" for the two. Harry Potter had runaway from his home at the Dursely's for the fifth time now, and Albus was starting to get flustered. None of the family service witches had seemed to do any help for little Harry, so Albus decided to send Severus this time. The only problem is that Harry's situation is much worse than Severus wanted to believe. What happens after Severus is witness to the boy's home life? How does Draco react to meeting the-boy-who-lived? Why is the headmaster so upset about it?

- I love this. Especially Draco & Harry's friendship and brotherhood as well as Severus grudging-at-first then absolute need to save Harry from the Dursley's horrendous treatment. Thanks for writing & sharing :)
