    Damn that was fast lol. And very good. I didn't expect another update until at least a week from now lol. Cant wait to for the next update. You certainly sped throught that school year, but you did it without making it seem like there were missing pieces. I'm curious to know if Ron will actually befriend Harry and if you plan on sticking to the books, even if it's just mostly backgroundish. I look forward to more. You're an excellent writing, and I do believe that finding a beta will only improve your skills even more. Until next time.

    Another very nice chapter. I like how you've made Harry interact with everyone in the story and how Severus is being nice, but not too nice. I really cannot wait to read the next chapter!!!

    Oh Yes!! Please continue this story. What a great start.

    I did some thinking about it since I read it two days ago and I really think you shouldn't jump too far ahead yet. I believe Severus will have to learn that he can not simply 'heal' Harry by sunddenly giving him all the freedom he has never had so far. So I rather think that he will have to learn to actually become his master so as not to destroy what little personality is left of young Harry (especially since he is very focused and dependant on a master).
    Harry will have to learn the reason for his existence isn't just for other people's pleasure and I would like to see his struggle, angst and the development of trust and happyness.

    I for my part would also very much like to see the development of their relationship to a healthy D/s one which will probably take more time and even more discussions than just telling Harry everything he had experienced so far was simply wrong and he should become independent now (something I very much doupt he would be able to become in a very long time, if ever)

    I am also quite curious what place in school and between his peers you intent for him to have.
    I usually find it very, very boring and frankly quite annoying when authors retell the whole Voldemort background story that happend throughout the years. Depending on how much Voldemort -involvement you plan I think you should maybe rather mention whatever canon you want to keep rather than repeating all the actions.

    Once it becomes clear Severus and Harry have come to some mutual understanding and have found their place in each other's lifes, I think you could skip through years (or parts there of) and pause again at points where bigger changes in their relationship take place (such as Harry becoming aware of his own sexuality) before school ends and the two of them can go off to new adventures.

    Whatever you decide, just please keep going! I would really hate to see such good potential go to waste by abondonning this absolutely great start of a promissing story!!!

    Great story! While this story is in the same genre as HSSHSH, it seems to have a completely different plot line. I don

    I don't know why you had to let everyone know that this fic wasn't supposed to be like How Severus Spends His Summer Hols, this fic is nothing like it. Your's is unique and set at a different time all together. You have a very good start here and I cant wait for the updates, and no matter which direction you take the fic, I doubt it'll ever be anything like the other fic (though that is a very good fic as well).
    You had me cracking up when you had Harry follow Snape right up to the Head Table, and Harry's actions made alot of sense knowing the background you're having him come from. I can't wait to find out how you'll have Severus deal with Harry and how Harry will adjust to his new life. I really do hope that you'll continue. There really isn't enough fics like this to read.

    personally i feel that you have a great beginning to what will be an exceptional story and though there are a few similarities i feel this story is intierly different from how severus spends his summer hols as i have also read that story but after a time it became to continuous and long so i stopped reading when the 100's were reached. i hope you continue to write you have my full support.

    I definately want you to continue this fic. For ideas... A talk with the Headmaster is an order and probalby a visit to the hospital wing. Severus also needs to help Harry work through his many brainwashing but I don't know how exactly. I hope you find a co-author. This fic has a lot of potentiel.

    Great story thus far. I absolutely adore "Summer Hols", and I'm glad you're writing a similar fic. I know I'm not the first review you've gotten, so I'd definitely encourage you to keep writing this fic.

    I know you may want to breeze by all those Hogwarts years, but you've got to cover at least some incidents unless this is going to be completely AU. You'll probably have to spend several chapters writing about Harry's school years in order to make sense of the years after Hogwarts. Another suggestion is to do them in flashbacks, but that also makes the writing more difficult. You can jump from year to year fairly quickly, but some things will HAVE to be explained. As for the next chapter, I'd pick up right where you left off because you didn't really finish Snape's thoughts about what happened to Harry.

    Before looking for another author, I'd strongly urge finding a good beta. Beta's review and edit and give you ideas of where to go, etc... I'm not the most experienced beta, but I'd be willing to help if you'd like.

    Lastly, for an idea of how to jump from year to year quickly, I reference Sentinel in the Shadows by lilyseyes. It starts when Harry is five, but moves quickly yet effectively through his younger years. I'd at least recommend giving the first part a good read. Here's a link: http://lilyeyes.livejournal.com/37680.html

    Hope that helps with your writing. Please do continue this fic! I'd love to read more!
