At the end of his fifth year Harry is sent to stay with Snape. Same old, same old, but with different scenery. Rated PG for some Bad Words.

- I'm new to this website. Surprisingly enough I haven't been here before. This story is my first, and I'm very glad because it was beautifully written. I'm only giving it a 9 instead only because of my personal preference that Harry and Severus have a good relationship at the end. But I also know that this was the perfect ending for them. I love how Helen ended up becoming human in the end. I did notice an earlier foreshadowing of that, so I wasn't really surprised. LOL
I look forward to reading more of your stories. Or just more of the stories here in general. (*^o^)a295;a340;(^-^*)

- I don't know about this... I don't know if you were going for a heartwarming fic where Sev takes care of Harry when he was sick as a child... but there is nothing heartwarming about this at all. For a second, maybe and overly optimistic reader could delude his/herself that it could be, but this is just cruel. Sev saw how Harry was being kept in a cupboard, not getting treatment for something severe as pneumonia, and I can only imagine how malnourished and beaten down Harry must look, and instead of taking Harry away from such a clearly horrific environment, he Obliviates him! Even if it were the Dursleys (and indirectly Dumbledore's clearly dubious machinations) who are the clear monsters here to do this to a child... Sev is just as bad for turning a blind eye to it all. It's not as if he's omniscient and could watch over Harry 24/7... I'm just so disappointed at your version of Severus Snape.
The writing style itself was good. I just wanted to voice my absolutely disgust at the character's choices. (As you can see, I get emotionally invested all too easily when reading. 😳) I'm giving this an 8 for the writing. But a 1 for Sev's half-assed actions and abominable irresponsibility.
