*sniff*
loved it.
thanx a lot for sharing.

I have read a lot of fics like hundreds but this is the first on that has made me cry it was beautifuly sad and i loved it.

Beautifully Tragic! It flowed perfectly and trapped me as a good story should! I couldn't stop reading!
The way you let me get into Snape's head reminds me of Orson Scott Card's style in Ender's Game/Shadow. It practically forces you to invest in the character and I felt all of the emotions right along with Severus :( It was an awesome roller coaster ride! You had me angry and then crying moments later! Bravo!

Thank you! Keep Writing!

"When our eyes met, it was as if (I) had awoken for the first time." just a small edit ;)

"I had found that I didn't want Lucius Malfoy's protection. I had found that I didn't want to be safe. I had found that I didn't care to be around Avery and Mulciber any longer. I had found that I didn't care what my parents had planned for my life. I had found that I didn't care about the purity of blood. I had found that a world that would not tolerate the existence of Lily Evans was a world that I could not, and would not, tolerate."

The "I had found"s in the paragraph above are extremely repetitive and I'm assuming you were trying to create a stylistic pattern but even if that's what you were going for I would change it and try to mix it up a bit. The sentences following are similar but it worked for them because the tie was more subtle.

The chapter overall, Awesome start! I'm hooked!

this is so incredibly depressing and yet absolutely amazing. I can totally see Severus acting that way and thus, I fell in love with his character by the end of the first chapter. you wrote this story beautifully.
thank you.

Great story. It was funny, sometimes disturbing, but definitely captivating. You didn't hold anything back, which is how authors should be writing. Good writing, it was hilarious when Snape threatened the Sorting Hat and described cologne as "profligate". If any first year would know and use such a word, it'd be Snape. You got him spot on.

Looking forward to your next releases.

wow, that was kind of odd, yet really intense and good. I liked it a lot.
~Smile!~

This... Was excellent. I loved every bit of it. I don't really like Snape, but wow, this was great. It was written perfectly, and awesomely. Even though it was pretty short, I feel like you got a lot of information in. Bravo.

Damn, my keyboard is gonna short out from all the tears on it now.
That was so incredibly sad. ; A;

This story completely wrecked me. I'm bawling my eyes out and trying not to drip on my keyboard. There was just, so much depth to this story and so much emotion that I almost felt like I was Severus. Really and truely, one of the absolute BEST fanfics I've read, from ANY fandom.

Possibly the best story I've ever read. Nothing else has ever made me cry like that.

Oh man... that hurt quite a bit to read. Excellent story, and I do so wish the ending could have been happier and not caused me to cry a bit.
But still, excellent characterization. I just wish Severus could've found his joy.

At 11 years old, Severus and Lilly wouldn't be taking the advance classes, such as Care of Magical Creatures, which is only available to 3rd years and above.

Wow. Just god damn wow.
I've read stories that make me laugh.
I've read stories that are angsty.

But this is the first story that really made me cry. Chapters 8-10 sorta made me tear up a little like some movies up. Chapters 11-12 though... God damn I crying like at my grandmothers funeral. Kudos man for that. This really showed Snape in such a different light, and it was so sad. My throat is still very uncomfortably tight from the crying.

Thanks!

This was an amazing story. It is the only fanfiction that was so well written I actually cried at the end. Thanks for writing it and best of luck writing "learning to breathe"
