    There were some fantastic lines in this chapter! Among my favorite:

    "Indeed," said George. "Those dungeons are dark. And cold. The sort of environment where you need protective headwear. You wouldn't happen to have any, would you Professor? A nice hat, perhaps."

    "I did have," said Snape. "But one night I was low on kindling. Move along."

    Tehe!!! The knock knock jokes is an interesting development in this other world. I wonder if the other Harry will introduce them?

    Great chapter! I really love how Harry was maneuvered into things. Fantastically done, I hardly noticed like Harry! The rhymes in potions class, that Neville is good at potions, and that everyone expects Harry to be GOOD at them is an awesome contrast of canon. The last line was awesome, and a great way to end the chapter. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for the update!

    Author's Response:

    Oh, good, I'm glad you hardly noticed the maneuvering.  That's what I was going for.  It's easy to say Snape is Slytherin, but I wanted to show it.  And not in a "Look! He's being sneaky!" way, but in a way where it's so subtle that he even manipulates the reader.  It's interactive fic!  :D  Anyway, it's about time Harry's hotheadedness allowed Snape to manipulate him into something other than a detention.

     

    Neville having a better memory (and thus better potions skills) is a minor plot point that fit in well with a later chapter, although I didn't realize that when I was writing it.  I just tried to imagine how Snape's life spent caring for Lily and raising Harry would affect his role as a teacher.  I still don't think he's going to win any Teacher of the Year Awards, though.  :) 

     

    Thank you so much for the detailed review!

    Haha I love this alternate universe, particularly the little things like the knock-knock jokes and the differences in the Potions lesson. There was so much to smile about in this chapter, like Minerva talking about changing Harry's nappy.

    Can't wait for me. Happy writing!

    Author's Response:

    Thanks!

     

    Harry wasn't too thrilled by Minerva's reminisces, was he?  ;)

    An excellent chapter! I don't blame Snape for treating Harry so coldly...it's obvious that he's devistated about the 'loss' of his own Harry, hence the lack of sleep. This story is so well-written and descriptive. I love it. Can't wait for the next chapter!

    Author's Response:

    Yes, Snape has a lot on his mind.  You'll get more on Snape's perspective in a later chapter. 

     

    Thank you for your thoughts!

    Are you referring to "Alvin and the Chipmunks" when you mention hula hoops and roller skates?

    Author's Response: I didn't think of that!  I did love Alvin and the Chipmunks back in the day, though.  Subconsciously, maybe? Thank you for posting! Oh, and since no one has guessed it yet…the second movie reference is Kevin Smith's Clerks: 

    "This job would be great if it wasn't for the customers."   :D

    "African or European swallow-wort?"
    This has to be the best line in the chapter - Monty Python much? (For Christmas I gave my sister MP&THG on DVD, and her own rip apart Black Knight :) Not as cool as attacking screaming monkeys, but still cool.)

    Author's Response:

    Or attacking rabbits.  :) 

     Thank you for reviewing!  Cookie for you!

    "Points?" the boy asked. "First time for everything, I suppose." That remark got him a jab in the ribs from Granger. He looked at her, and then noticed several classmates staring at him in puzzlement. "Ah…I mean, first time this month." More stares. "First time today?" he asked in astonishment.


    Snape decided to ignore both the comments and Potter and returned to his lecture. He relaxed marginally as he picked up the rhythm of his speech. Really, teaching would be far more pleasant if it weren't for the students.

    -This whole paragraph was just perfect!!!


    I'm really looking for more of this story, please don't take too long, it would kill me... Ok so it wouldn't, but still :-)

    Author's Response:

    Well, I certainly wouldn't want that!  Don't fret, I update frequently.  :)

    Your Ron is gorgeous! And I like your Hermiony too. It's getting uncanny!

    Author's Response:

    Well, I referenced the books as I wrote to remind myself what the characters are like.  Glad to know it helped.  :)

    God, the another world suddenly doesn't seem the happy family life it did before... That however doesn't change the fact I somehow can't stop reading! Good job!

    Author's Response:

    It's lovely that you take the time to write something new after each chapter.  Thank you!
