    I was right! Yes I guessed that the Dumbledore one was a faked memory. I didn't know why of course but I knew. I couldn't explain the other one but I was thinking it was Vold-yuck fooling Dumbledore. Wasn't sure how though. However I love the new plot direction. Sorry I didn't review earlier but I wasn't sure if in my great wisdom I'd make a fool of myself about my first Harry/Snape that had a plot I could sink my teeth into. I probably would've had a fit in the review and gone on and on and on...kinda like I'm doing now.

    Go Dumblebore! I've always been fond of Albus and Severes' relationship being portrayed as a close needed friendship instead of Severes always seeing him as nothing more than his boss. I think it gives them both more character. I also think locking them up together is a great idea. Make Severes figure out he's not going to hurt Harry and Harry isn't going to hurt him. It's like the new version of locking two people in a closet with condoms, flavored lube, and a vibrator.

    I think Snape has a very good character here, not the most original of all (but pretty far away from Angsty Teen Hotty Character that has a similar additude) but I haven't seen the selfless-thinks-he's-a-monster much used with Snape. Not that I've read many with Snape as a main character. But I also think you give his position and feelings more I don't know, class? Like it could really happen outside of this story. And he has good reason to think he's a monster. Some times when similar characterizations are used the reasons are less likely like not being able to stop something or not being strong enough. Reasons for not liking yourself but not seeing yourself as a monster some people say these characters do. If you undersood a word of that you're a smarter person than I. But Snape actually has mistakes in his past doesn't he? And he did lose control with Harry a bit. But none of the reason are strong enough for other people to see him as a monster if they care about him.

    Thank you for not making Harry a 'I understand and I'm not leaving you' sniffling goey sweet mass of gunkiness. To clarify, the way he ran away after instead of staying there and 'holding true to his only love' and staying made him seem like a real person. His doubts are many and he sees in from many perspectives instead of the usual ones or self pitying ones. It makes him rather in character than you would think having fallen in love with S.S. and all.

    Overall I think this is a wonderful story and it has a lovely mood to it that is both serious and dark but romantic and light. It's hard to explain but those are the vibes I get from it.

    Thank You.
    DK ;)

    Thanks for the update, I am glad that Harry got to see that Severus is not the monster that he wants others to believe he is and now he wont give up on trying to be with Severus.

    wow. the plot twists were like hairpin turns for a couple of the most recent chapters! snapes set of memories shocked me, dumbledore's explination and memory were shocking in a completely opposite way, and then the confinement in the dungeons for, what, 10 days? two weeks?!!! i cant wait for the next few chapters. hurry!!!!

    Hello there!
    I've come across your story and somehow just couldn't stop reading. Hours later, it must have been about two in the morning, I finished the last chapter. But it was worth every minute, even with only five hours of sleep left. Keep on writing! I can hardly wait for the next chapter...

    This story is absolutely wonderful! I'm not done reading it yet, but I have to pause my reading and I just had to leave a comment. I love this direction this story is going. Not only is there some Snarry!Smutt, but there's a plot and soon-to-be-romance and I can't wait to continue reading.
    I think the characterizations are very nice. I also notice that your chapters (so far @ chpt 10) mostly center around the Occulmency lessons or some of Harry's downtime in between, but that's perfectly fine. You cut the clutter and go straight to the point, yet still manage to describe Harry's and Snape's feelings thoroughly. I don't Snape is any bit OOC. I think you take him further than what is revealed in the HP books, and you do so in a favorable light, which makes him so much more attractive!! I don't mean you're making up stuff about him, like trying to make him sound more glorious than he already is --- in fact, I think you do his character justice. He is described so unfavorably in the books, but he's so gorgeous in your story. I think Snape's talents are so undermined - no one really cares to truly understand the type of man he is and how he became that way, but you do!!! From my understanding, Occulmency and Legilimency are not easy, so its only natural that Snape should appear so powerful (Dumbledore would be drop dead to-die-for is he were 60 yrs younger). He's impassive most of the time, and yet so passionate!!
    As for your Harry, I love him. heehee. Maybe its because I have a thing for needy, horny boys, but it seems to fit his character. I tired of seeing him as some sort of overlord. All he did was freakin survive several Lord Voldie encounters!! He may come off as arrogant in the book, but underneath all that is someone vulnerable who needs some reassurance. It's only natural that he is attracted to Snape in your story. Harry likes the comfort and power Snape provides him, not to mention he's going into teenage-heat. hahah. But yeah, even though he might appear OOC to major Harry fans, he's perfect for this type of story. He's not too mushy, but he's not too defiant, either.
    Anyway, this is a wonderful story. I was surprised to see that you had started this at the beginning of the year and had 22 chaps up already. damn. I just hope you keep up the steady updates and finish this soon! Though I admit, I'll be sad to see it end.

    ack. long review...

    I'm very much enjoying the twists and turns. I love a story that isn't so predictable it's boring! Unpredictable stories rock. This story is by far my favorite on the site.
