Nice story, it would be good made into a long-shot if you felt that way inclined.

However, one small plot niggle, Lily was in Gryffindor with the Maurauders. That's one of the reasons her and Severus couldn't really stay friends.

Other than that though, great fic :D

This is a really nice story. Reminds me a bit of one of my own: Tea with Hagrid. Sev really did need someone to look after him - and Hagrid is just the one to do it. Good job!!

But then, who would Hagrid tell? Snape already gets beat up at school, and nobody does anything about that either--not even Hagrid. Good one-shot, though.

UPDATE! you should make this into a story, good job, happy writing.

XD

Oh, so sad. That was excellent, I loved it. I hope you have more fics like this.

O...that´s very touching!

well-done. can i really say that about such a sad and dreadful story? (dreadful, as in full of dread, not badly written or anything. it's wonderful).
it's so good, in my mind, because you could see it. not fully, because in canon, Hagrid can't keep a secret to save his soul, but, he would try, if he promised. And he would rather keep Severus' trust than loose it to tell Albus.
Again, wonderfully written, a conceivable plot.. - i give it two thumbs up! ~linker27

really good... sequel?

Short and simple, but this was very good. Your portrayals of Hagrid and a younger Severus were right on; I can actually see this happening...well, maybe :). Thanks so much for sharing this with us, and I look forward to more from you!

Aloha from Hawaii!

That was indeed beautifully written. It evoked emotions with powerful moments in very few words. The story was clean and natural sounding, not forced. The ending was well placed as well. While the story and language were a bit simple compared to the stylistic epics with multiple subplots that I tend to read, it worked and it really worked well. The piece was a moving composition that tugged at the strings of the heart. Overall, it was very well written.
