I loved what you did with Snape's past, and I won't lie; it made me want to cry. Great job!

Ep! I don't want to get hurt by wrack spurts!

Good story! I liked it. I like Eileen. The poor dear...It's good Sev stood up for her!1

Home must be awful indeed for him to count the day before he can go back to be tortured by the Marauders. For once, Eileen was brave (pity she wasn't braver sooner, but better late than never).

But of course Voldemort lied. No doubt Dumbledore made the same promise later on.

Wow...this is amazing. It's written really, really well. I'm on the phone and I kept going, "ohh, that's sad..." My friend wanted to know what it was, but he didn't get it...he's not a Harry Potter fan...lol. But anyway, this is fantastic!

But if you don't mind, I'd like to point out one grammatical error for you. "You weak, vial man!" I think that it's spelled "vile" in this case.

Other than that, magnificent!

Demons are prowlin' everywhere, nowadays...

Excellent Severus story- I think you gave Severus proper motivation to join the Death Eaters and provided a reasonable explanation for Eileens' imprisonment.

Ah...dear Sev...but those words sound odd coming from Voldemort.

Nicely written though

Okay, I was officially humming that blasted song for a third of the story, trying to figure out where in the world I heard it. It took me a good ten minutes to finally discover it was from Sweeney Todd. Brilliant idea, taking the song from there of all places.

Just about as twisted as the musical. Love the idea of Eileen killing Tobias instead of Sev. I also like the whole premise behind his mother's death being his reason for joining the Death Eaters. I always thought there was more to the story. Thanks for the good read.
