    Exciting! It would be awesome to read about a Quidditch match between Harry, Draco and Severus. And I can't wait to learn more about the shimmerling

    Author's Response: yeah I might have to work that in for the sequel though. The shimmerling is one of my better creations, as you'll see.

    I'm glad that the shimmerling survived the night. I'm surprised that Harry didn't have memory flashes of being beaten bloody wit the Dursley's when he was helping Sev. Awesome chapter!

    Author's Response: Well, he could have, but his mind was focused upon helping Sev save the shimmerling so he wasn't thinking about himself then.

    Whoa! That's a pretty fierce fight. Lucius and Venon really hurt Harry and Draco even more than I realized. And why would Severus decide to teach them martial arts that they would just use against each other? Awesome chapter! I can't wait to see how Severus punishes them.

    Author's Response: Yes, well they have a lot of anger to get out. They did and it's really sad. You'll learn more about that in two chapters.  Sev taught Draco martial arts long ago, and he never intended for it to be used upon each other, only on an enemy, but he'll have that discussion with them next chapter.  He won't be very gentle, either.
Title: Lessons and a Letter 03 Sep 2009 1:33 am

    I wouldn't want to be in Slytherin. A writing exam on the first day! I've done a little bit of writing with a quill and it's hard! I'm sort of glad that Venon's dead, but I wasn't expecting Lucius and Narcissa to be thrown in Azkaban. I guess Lucius's wealth and bought officals can't always save him. I hope that Severus takes Draco in, he would not do well in foster care.

    Author's Response:

    I've had teachers in some of my classes give us "assessment tests" on the first day so theycould determine where to place us in terms of ability and reading levels, ect. I've tried writing with a quill too at colonial Williamsburg and it's a real pain! But the writing test is a way to help the Muggleborns get ahead and learn faster, which is why Sev makes them do it. Being ambitious, they want to be the best they can be, and so I would think they're grateful to him for it.

    I wa sso glad that Vernon was dead. I wanted to kill him off for ages. No, not this time. This time the Malfoys will pay for their crimes.  I agree, Draco and foster care do not mix. And Sev knows it.

    I'm very glad that Severus wasn't too harsh. Hopefully Harry will wait until he has more self-control to drink again. I liked the way Severus handled the situation and punished Harry. It seemed fair and just.

    Author's Response: He will, believe me. I wouldn't be surprised if he never touches a drop again. That hangover and Sev's temper was definitely not worth it.  And Sev tries really hard to be fair even though he wasn't always in the past. He doesn't want to make an enemy of the son he just found.
Title: Enter the Dragon 03 Sep 2009 1:33 am

    I feel bad for Draco even though he did act like a brat. I imagine that he must be feeling like an only child who suddenly gets another sibling. That happened to me and it was really hard to deal with at first. Great chapter, I can't wait to find out more about Draco. I hope he finds out more about Harry's home life soon.

    Author's Response: You have Draco down perfectly, because that's exactly what he feels like. He was the only kid in Sev's life and all of a sudden Sev has a son, and not just ANY son, but his chief rival. That really makes him nuts. And also afraid that Sev will like Harry better. He'll be finding out about Harry's home life soon. And vice versa.
Title: Nobody's Son . . .But Mine 03 Sep 2009 1:33 am

    I loved Severus telling off Dumbledore! It's great how he doesn't let the Headmaster intimidate him. I can't wait to find out what happens when Harry and Draco meet!

    Author's Response: Nope, not this Snape. Especially when it comes to his son and his ward. Harry and Draco meeting . . .just wait and see it's gonna be very tense and kind of explosive.
Title: New Beginnings and a Nightcap 02 Sep 2009 8:45 pm

    How could Harry have been so stupid? I can't wait to see Sev's reaction and find out more about Lily. It was wonderful how both Lily and Petunia were friends to Severus and how Petunia protected them. That is much nicer than seeing her as a petty, jealous person.

    Author's Response:

    Well, he was desperate and had no idea just how potent the summerdew was.  It's a fae cordial and it reacts differently with a mostly human metabolism. Sev can tolerate it better because he has a tad more fae blood in him, but Harry has less because Lily was a Muggleborn, so it affects him more. Still, it wasn't very smart and oh Sev will be furious.

    I agree and it was that firendship with him that made all the difference in his childhood. Petunia does have her good points here.

    The history of the Prince family was interesting. I really liked Harry's reaction when he found out that he was related to the Malfoys. If all the pureblood families are related then wouldn't the Malfoys and the Princes also be related to the Potters and the Welaseys? I can't wait to read more.

    Author's Response: All the pureblood wizards are related to each other in some degree, but some--like the Malfoys and Blacks are more closely related than others. So yes, they would be related to the Potters and Weasleys, but as distant cousins.  I couldn't have Harry react any other way to that news.
Title: Ties That Bind 02 Sep 2009 8:45 pm
Reviewer: N_Forest (Signed) [Report This]
    Dumbledore can be nasty sometimes. But if Snape told him that he was Harry's father couldn't he have the blood wards attached to him? Or does it have to be someone with Lily's blood? This chapter wasn't as interesting as the other ones.

    Author's Response:

    Dumbledore would not have cared if Sev was Harry's father, his whole plan centered upon raising Harry in the muggle world.  That's why Sev doesn't tell him the truth right away, because he knows D always has an agenda.
